Sometimes the existential dread is easy to handle, and other times it just sends you spiraling out of control. Sometimes you wake up as a hunter. And other times, you're a prop being hunted. It really is a metaphor for capitalism, this game. The hunters (or American consumers, if you will) are on the hunt for physical objects. They're on the lookout. Their entire focus is to find objects. And w...

And yet again I am left typing into the senseless void that is a UA-cam video description that absolutely no one will read. I am very good at choosing what endeavors deserve my very precious time.

    Wow. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawk that ending! Like, I've got no connection to the story or your party, but even I felt super bummed and emotionally invested when the twist dropped. I'd always been interested in the FH, read a few things here and there, and literally watched a 30 minute essay about the thing a couple hours ago. This was the only vid(s) I could find with a FH in actual play and both parts were really fun to watch. Sucks to see that you don't really upload much, because honestly, I really enjoyed watching your group play. Thanks a ton for the cool adventure and giving us a taste of what the FH can be like in a play setting. <3

    In the last video the animals saw the hydra. How do the animals see the hydra? I thought as long as the hydra is signing you cannot see it. This thing could be inches away from you singing an you will not see it. I thought the only time it stops signing is when its feasting or fighting.

    • @restuhernando

    • @FigNewton7
      @FigNewton7 Рік тому

      I gave the hydra the mechanic that its song only effects creatures with an INT higher than 4, so most regular animals would hear the song and see the False Hydra. Just another way to drop a hint to the party

    So the random potims theyre finding in weird places i understand thats theyre friend who died that assisted them somehow. But they dont remeber them. I was thinki g of running that idea in my own false hydra. But can i do that from the begining of the quest when theyre lvl 1? Im planning placing my hydra halfway through the campaign. But i want the surprise to be they always had a party member but they got eaten by the hydra when they got to town. But they dont remeber them. So all the quests b4 they just remeber finding potions an items in weird places.

    • @FigNewton7
      @FigNewton7 Рік тому

      That's exactly what I did and it's an excellent way to do it. I dropped this into a campaign of Ghosts of Saltmarsh, but the party was finding items way back in the very first module

    man my heart broke by the ending! love how you did it!!! Im planning on using the false hydra on my players, any advice on how to do it?

    • @FigNewton7
      @FigNewton7 Рік тому

      Thank you! I appreciate it! My advice would be to plan ahead. I started this campaign knowing that I would use a false hydra later, so I was able to drop small clues here and there of what would have been Oksana helping the party. So they found healing potions during desperate times in odd places or everyone was healed by unseen magic after a challenging fight. I really wanted to give the players the sense that they had someone ripped from their memories, as opposed to just their characters memories, which meant the "memory re-write" needed to start early to have substantial impact for my purposes. I saw a video on someone's TikTok of using the artist's portrait to convey a missing party member and absolutely fell in love with the idea. I knew an artist who was a mutual friend of all of the players so it wasn't strange when they joined the call on discord to present their art, and that's when the penny dropped. The whole series turned out so much better than I could have hoped

    If i run this, im going to have a party member randomly notice that their arm or leg is bleeding - ocassionally having their weapon in hand for some reason, and ill have them enter or leave areas where they werent before, like they were in a tavern, then ill explain that they have wrapped up in the chaple and are leaving the chapel grounds, as they had a run in with it and have completely forgotten the encounter and moving on from it. If they happen to jot down a mark on parchment if they see it, if they happen to be near its lair, ill have the paper absolutely covered in marks on both sides.
