Random Review: Pokemon GO! Eevee Community Day 1

So back in 2016 I decided to join the hype of the newest ish that was Pokemon GO!  Seeing a pile of nerds at local hotspots proudly exclaiming or lamenting catches and losses was a fun diversion during a bad time in my life.  

And then I lost interest as the game, just wasn't what I wanted to play at the time.

Enter 2021, and a pledge to myself to enter 40 healthier than I was, so to motivate my fat ass to walk more... I redownloaded the app.

And I was amazed at the changes, a lot more fun to be had for what I want to do.

Now I am not a competitive gamer (anymore, buts that's a different story), so as a casual I don't have a lot of extra apps to "enhance" the game.  The only one I use is PokeRaid, to help find raids, or host, for the legendaries I want to catch.

Which brings me to today... COMMUNITY DAY.  A day where a certain pokemon is spotlighted, shiny chances are dropped to manageable 1/20 rather than the standard 1/500? and Professor Willow's meat grinder churns out candy like a factory.

On days like this I load up and go walking, today was no exception.  Time hits 11 and it's on, It looks like a horror movie, but instead of zombies it's cute brown fox-dog things.  I did pay the buck to get the special research because I like it, and it's a buck.  There are no other benefits other than the stuff it gives you.

So in that first pile of 25 eevees I only managed 1 shiny, as the person I was with nabbed 5... well at least it's two days right.  Get home tell my girlfriend about it, her first two eevees... both shiny... I'm still at one, as apparently the luck blessed by RNGeesus is not with me this day.

She goes to take a nap, I put on netflix and settle with an incense burning, and the shiny start popping up... finally!

End the day with enough to get a full evolution spread of shiny with some extras from the Kanto 3 because the random 33.33 repeating chance of which one you gonna get is a crap shoot.

Here you can see my haul, so day two is just gonna be trade bait, if I decide to go after it, it'll be to perfect hunt.

Random Conversion: Eberron Campaign Setting to PF2E (Armor)

Image
 Moving to part two of my Random converting with the next stage of the Eberron Campaign Setting conversion to 2nd Edition. Part 1 can be found here With the second stage we're staying in Chapter 6 and working through the armor portion. Eberron's basic armor is basically just normal armor made with a couple new special materials, so the challenge for me is to convert them as their listed, crunching the numbers to fit PF2e, but to also then create the special material stats in the 2e format, and fitting the level crunch that they've put into the format. Leafweave So here we have the armor crunched to fit, within the format.  This part was actually pretty easy. Light Armor Price AC Bonus Dex Cap Check Penalty Speed Penalty Strength Bulk Group Armor Traits Leafweave (Lvl 1) 10 gp +1 +5 0 - 10 1 - - Medium Armor Price AC Bonus Dex Cap Check Penalty Speed Penalty Strength Bulk Group Armor Traits Darkleaf breastplate (Lvl 2) 40 gp +4 +2 -1 - 14 1 Plate - Heavy Armor Price AC Bonus

Random Conversion: Eberron Campaign Setting to PF2E (Weapons)

Image
 So as you may have figured out, 90% of things I'm posting are randomly generated posts.  I literally roll a dice on an ever evolving table and figure out what I'm gonna write about.  The reason I do this... mainly to entertain myself, and hopefully the very few of you who read this. Today was rolled "Conversion to PF2E".  So I went into my bookshelf and looked, and what jumped out is my old Eberron Campaign Setting, released for 3.5 DND way back in 2004. 12 chapters meant another D12 rolled and it landed on equipment, so I decided to knock out the very first section which is weapons.  So here we go. First off is the categorical changes, no longer called "exotic" all of the listed weapons will be covered under Uncommon Advanced Weapons.  Then we have to number crunch the cost to match the 2E price point.  Finally translate the descriptions, compare to similar weapons, and generate the traits the weapons have.  Talenta Tanget Melee: Uncommon Advanced Weapons

Friday Free Resource - Donjon Dungeon Generator

Welcome back to the free resource Friday, it's been a bit, but I'm ready to talk to you about just one facet of one of my favorite free resources out on the interwebs. DONJON's Random Dungeon Generator! ( Link is here ) There are several variations that will fill your dungeons with mobs, and such, but I'll let you figure out what's best for your table.  I'll focus on the options of the setting neutral. This is what you'll see when you click the link, the name and the random seed will change every time you open, but the options are the same. Dungeon Name : Randomly Generated if you want to use it, that's fine, or create your own.  If you use the back button after generating your dungeon the name stays, if you reload the page it'll change so keep that in mind. Dungeon Level: Defaults at 1, a label at the top of the page when you construct the dungeon. Sets difficulty if using the Basic details option (see below) Details: Here there are tw
