Recommendations for Whimsical DnD 3.5 Adventures.

It might not be the most whimsical campain but it definitely fits and since you specified 3.5e (which I interpreted as somewhat old-shool), I would like to recommend Dolmenwood.

Is is built for OSE but it is closer to 3.5 than any content for 5e, so easily adaptable. It is a whole world with an hex-map filled with adventures and a few campains are provided. It takes place in a giant wood-land with some fey-wild shortcuts and has a good dose of whimsy (talking mushroom folks and the like)

I recommend you give it a look, I don't know if it is the right fit for you but if it is, you have year of adventures ahead of you, ready in a book.

How were maps created back in the day?

At first, people used itinirary (to go to Rome, first go to PlaceX, then PlaceY, etc)

Maps of the time, when they existed, where merely illustrations, with fictionnal places sprinkled in.

Then some attempts mesured distances between places by counting step, and overall direction. This is why most maps before 1000ce are really strange looking, but you can guess what they represent using the name of places.

With the invention of things like the astrolab, people where able to mesure both distances and more precise direction, giving birth to triangulation, which was used until the invention of GPS

Lemmy is a federated platform where each instance is run independently but can interact with all the other ones. lemmy.org is such an instance.

Your account is on it (written [email protected]) but I ([email protected]) can see and reply to your post on the community c/asklemmy (similar to r/something on Reddit)

Hope this is useful, I'm no expert...

Best vertical games on Android?

I would highly recommend Monument Valley (1,2 and 3 is coming soon) as far as puzzle goes, for a quick arcade fix, I like Breakout 71 (with rogue-lite elements) and all games by Arnold Rauers (Card Crawl being my favorite, but by a small margin).

Here's a quick selection from the top of my head, if you want I can go throw my app history for a few more :)

How did people treat you after losing weight?

Oh yes!

Currently down from 160 to 100kg (350 to 220lbs) and almost everyone is treating me differently. Many people didn't make eye contact with me either on the street or in shops, some were visibly unconfortable (or slightly afraid). I had remarks all the time about how big (not fat, just imposing) I was.

Now cashers smile at me, people on the street are more friendly. It's night and day and it saddens me in a way. I didn't lose weight for appearence reason but for my health, and to see for the first time how people are (were towards me) judgmental is kinda sickening.

I just though people are sometimes a bit cold but never really associated it with my weight.

What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

Rayman M or Rayman Arena in North America. A PS2 era multiplayer 3D Rayman game with only 2 game modes, battle and racing. Most people hate one of the game modes, so half the game and are disappinted by the lack a content. Some critic said that the sense of speed is dull and the level design can be flat-out horrible.

I guess like all multiplayer games it's easier to have fun with friends, but I liked the challenging and sometimes cruel level design that forced skill and reflexes in racing mode.
