I’m actually giving that a try now because it comes packaged with bazzite! I just wish I could figure out modding lol

I suppose that’d be easier than free climbing with two rods, though you wouldn’t really need the full ladder for it.

That’s fair, though honestly the only issue I ever had on the Xbox was having a loading screen every 5 minutes.

We played it as the rogue would destroy the box in returning to normal size, but they take damage equal to the boxes health before it explodes.

My favorite situations were her getting trapped in a floor safe for an entire fight because the bandit immediately locked up the pretty stone, her erupting out of the pocket of a maid being interrogated for stealing from the Lord, and her exploding from a coin purse on a Duke nearly a county over because the he picked her up while leaving the bank instead of while entering.

I know it makes me sound like an of man shouting at clouds but the other day I installed Morrowind and was genuinely blown away by how smooth and reliable it ran and all the content in the game fitting in 2gb of space. Skyrim requires I delete my other games to make room and still requires a whole second game worth of mods to match the stability and quantity of morrowind.

That’s an idea, but the rods had 4 rungs between them that were just wood so they were about 6ft apart. They had used it by setting the bottom, having someone tall put the middle at full length away, then have that person climb up and balance on the top rung to then set the next one at full length. It often led to hilarious critical fails on the balance checks.

I’m genuinely surprised no one thought to hold them in place with a 10ft pole, that’s d&d 101 right there.

I can only hope that someday I’m described as “a menace to the dignity of the profession.”

Here’s few of my goofy items over the years.

Lantern of in-sight: causes any object or entity you’re aware of and can keep a direct line of sight on to glow as bright as a non magical lantern. The lantern itself does not produce light. Had a player use it to highlight someone hiding in a crowd when the party failed to see them.

Jewel of Becoming: when activated the player became a gemstone for 1d6 hours. The rogue ended up exploiting this heavily by becoming a jewel and either having another player sell her or just being in the path of someone. Once she turned back she’d rob them blind and sneak out back to the party.

Immovable ladder: it was a rope ladder but the rungs in the middle and either end were immovable rods. This one the artificer cobbled together in game and I allowed for it. They spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to use it for more than a reliable way down from a second floor but never did manage anything wild. They couldn’t even really use it to go up because someone would still and go climb up there to set the top rod.

Maxwell’s Morning Tonic: a bitter, dark, and slightly oily potion that when drank, counts as a short rest or turns a short rest into a long rest. It also gives you a -1d6 to hit and sleight of hand. It’s just a strong coffee.

Welly tin.

They’re those cute tins filled with themed bandaids you can get at Walmart. Normally they’re brightly colored and targeted to small kids. Not only are they pretty good fabric bandaids but the tin is really reliable as a homemade med pack for camping. Small, light, brightly colored, and stupidly durable. Had mine in my bag for about 5 years now and it hadn’t even dented.

You can get butane and arc lighter inserts for zippo shells. I’ve had the arc lighter for going on 3 years, I’ve only had to charge it 5 times, it’s gone through the wash twice now and it’s still working great.

Bought my best friend the butane one the same time. She’s a heavy smoker, not only is it her conversion starter but apparently it’s been cheaper than buying bics.

They’re currently in litigation one child labor exploitation for profiting off of child made content and for terrible child safety standards for basically ignoring that it was a pedophile feeding ground. It’s not dead though, probably going to be profitable forever.

I’d be into this.

Here you go.

An arch lighter version of a zippo. It fits in traditional zippo cases so I have a collection of shells that I change out to fit the mood. The current one is matte black with a cthulhu theme in brass but normally I use the mercury glass with bones and flowers. My wife calls it my zappo.

Also the severed finger of an elf.

I also use public school maps, zoos, and amusement parks
