    Barlowe's Hell: The Heart of Hell Changes

    Recently I made a page for Barlowe's Hell, a verse centering on the novels and artworks by Wayne Barlowe. I finished the second book yesterday (the third book, Lucifer's Soul, is forthcoming) and in addition to adding many outright new things, it added context to what existed. So, let's get into...

    Slight Adjustment to Rules Regarding Original Works

    I am making this thread as a proxy for Antvasima, and the cause for it is discussed somewhat in this thread. To spare you the reading therein, I will begin by showing you the rule as it is now: Cited from our Editing Rules, this guideline is intended to define the line between what belongs here...

    Be My Rimworld Pawns Season 2

    Summary In 2023, I made this thread, and it was reasonably well received. In it, I offered people the chance to be in my playthrough of Rimworld, creating a pawn that would represent them. The save file flourished, with minimal VSBW member deaths (only one was permanent) and eventually we...

    Addition of Pointless Categories

    My Issues Making this off the cuff (and in doing so, preserving Promestein's will), moreso to prompt a conversation than anything. This thread is made to address the (in my estimation) fairly bloated category situation on our wiki. It is my belief that we should maintain a slim list of...

    Feed Me Your Wretched Anime Suggestions

    We're back, gentlemen. One anime a year, every year. You know the drill. Give me your recommendations, and I will at least consider them. Posting "Dragon Ball" or something similar will be taken as an admission of severe dehydration which has understandably reduced your mental faculties, it can...

    Lethal Company : New Pages, New Problems

    As before, I have an issue with a number of things on Lethal Company pages. Most of these are on a whim, I just read through the pages casually and found a large number of things I don't agree with. So, this CRT will be me addressing those issues. If you have something you also think is wrong...

    Lethal Company and Lethally Bad Pages: A General Content Fix

    Introduction Our Lethal Company pages are really, really bad. Like comically terrible. This CRT aims to make them moderately to severely less bad. Thanks. The Player My problems with the Player's page are as follows. Information Analysis: They have this, but the page seems to imply that the...

    The Atmosphere: Where Does It End

    What's the problem? Making this thread on a whim after seeing calcs that rustle my feathers a little bit. To make a long story short, I think we need to provide an official stance on the distance from the Earth to the edge of the atmosphere. The reason I think this is because calcs tend to use...

    Be My Rimworld Pawns

    Summary There is a game called Rimworld. It is essentially a colony management game in which you control a group of recently stranded individuals on a Rim World (that is, the frontier of space) with practically no possessions. You are tasked to create a functioning colony and, theoretically...

    Epic (Cool Dudes Only) Dungeons and Dragons Discussion Thread

    I have no particular reason for creating this thread now outside of the fact that more people than usual have been working on D&D stuff lately and I don't want to work on my Barlowe's Inferno pages nor my actually important real-world work. This thread is just a place to chatter about D&D. Talk...

    Celebrations of Real-World Holidays in News and Announcements

    Hello all. This thread is intended to tackle a singular issue, something of a continuation from past discussions: whether or not we ought to allow users (staff or otherwise) to post IRL holiday celebration posts in News & Announcements, such as Easter, Christmas, Ramadan, or New Years. If you...

    Tabletop Games Based On Other Tabletop Games

    Been contemplating this one for awhile- I feel it is almost definitely fine, but a thread should be made to establish that as fact. The Context Tabletop roleplaying games were fathered by Dungeons and Dragons. In 2000, after many years of success and wanting to see their work expand, Dungeons...

    Project Zomboid Comprehensive CRT

    The pages are pretty garbage right now. So, I'm going to offer a little CRT because I ******* adore this game (about 750 hours in at time of writing). Let's start with the biggest offender, the Player. The Player In no particular order, here are some issues. "Limited Information Analysis...

    New Year, New Anime Recommendation for Bambu

    The yearly request has arrived. As in the years before, I will accept anime recommendations to be the one anime I watch this year, on the off chance you people convince me that anime, as a genre, is not one of humanity's worst sins. Last year, y'all suggested Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood...

    Post a Character, Receive a Character Sheet for a Zombie Apocalypse TTRPG

    As some of you may know, I periodically post threads for converting your characters and verses into tabletop statistics, specifically Dungeons and Dragons. However, due to the recent drama surrounding D&D, I'm choosing to instead use the next tabletop game I'll actually be running, a zombie...

    VSBW Pixelmon Server

    Getting Started As per the original post, we now have a Pixelmon server! For the uninitiated, Pixelmon is a mod of Minecraft that implements Pokemon into the game. The mod is extensive and, in my opinion, one of the better things to come from the Minecraft modding community. So, first thing's...

    D&D: Let me make you a boss statblock.

    Hey all, feels like a good time to bring this back. Fair warning, I'm diseased so I might slack a bit. As usual I only guarantee about a week's worth of work on this. Name me a character, preferably one who might be described as a "Big Bad Evil Guy" of their verse. Nobody in Tier 2 or above...

    A Message From Me to You

    I've been in a mood lately. So I've been thinking, and I wanted to share those thoughts. Maybe this gets buried, maybe it doesn't, it doesn't matter. I just want to say I'm profoundly thankful for this site and the people I've met through it. On a site based on arguing over, frankly, stupid...

    Large Size and Lifting Strength

    The question this thread poses is simple: do we scale large sized characters to their own weight? It has been brought up increasingly of late, and I believe it warrants discussion. For my own opinion: I believe they should scale, with some requirements. For example, a character unable to move...

    Banned Users Using Proxies

    It has come to my attention that certain banned users resort to posting their opinions offsite and using proxy users to post them onsite. In my opinion, this is in violation of their ban and, to put it as another user did, just sockpuppeting with extra steps. So I feel a discussion should be...

    Dungeons and Dragons: Tell me about a fantasy race. I'll either port it to D&D, or tell you a race similar enough to it.

    As the title says. Tell me about a fantasy race from your favorite verse- I will try to make it into a playable race for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. I've made a good few races in my time with 5th Edition, so I'm fairly confident in my ability to deliver. I'll link a couple below. With that...

    Top 10 Users with the Most Profiles Created

    Just an idea I had. I know I'm probably in the top ten, given discussions I've had on the topic beforehand, and I'm fairly sure the actual top is the recently banned WeeklyBattles, if his metric is to be believed, given over a year ago he informed me he had over 600 pages (if someone wanted to...

    Aumvor the Undying AP Change

    Minor change due to a slip-up of mine some time ago. Aumvor is a CR 34 creature, which would make him equal to a Phaethon, which defines our lower threshold for High 6-A scaling. Thus, Aumvor the Undying should be changed to be High 6-A ASAP. That's it, that's the CRT.

    The Megadungeon: A D&D Gauntlet

    I did this some time ago, so let's revisit the concept. In brief, this thread provides a large gauntlet of D&D characters. Your job is to submit a character that can successfully overcome this gauntlet per the rules of the thread. Victory is determined based on overcoming the gauntlet (I'll try...

    Devil AP fixes

    First off I'm gonna go ahead and say this one's my fault, I made this mistake by bad choices on my part. With that bit down, some devils have bad AP. Namely they don't include the lower bounds for those particular monsters- I likely did this to other pages too, but I've only seen it glaringly...

    Bambu Watches Anime: Suggestion Thread

    I hope the clickbait got your attention. Now then. Last year I asked the VSBW discord what anime I should watch, if I were so inclined to do so. I made it clear I'd only watch one of the suggestions- ultimately it came down to a split between Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Overlord, I...

    Sword of Kas Downgrade

    Mentioned I'd do this some time ago, now seems as good a time as any. This should be a fairly harmless revision. Sword of Kas is listed as 2-C for scaling to Vecna, since it can kill Vecna, and being comparable to the Wand of Orcus. Cool. Couple things wrong with this. First of all, the sword...

    I'm (not) leaving.

    This week has been hailed by a good amount of you as some kind of apocalypse event, some cataclysm hailed by the peanut gallery of VSBW in years past to be the supposed downfall of the community. It's disheartening to see, I must admit, that so many would look at a community that they are a part...

    Dungeons and Dragons CRT: Murder Planets in Space

    Summary Just a quick little CRT, nothing groundbreaking but in the void of other current D&D CRTs I figured I'd go ahead and post this one. So: Players can kill this thing at high levels, even though it lacks a CR it should at the very least upgrade current CR 34s and above to roughly 2x their...

    Happy Thanksgiving Bitches

    Dunno how many of you are from the US, but in brief: happy Thanksgiving. Hope you've got something to be thankful for. Genuinely. Even if I think you're a bit of a jerk. Yes, you. Farewell from your local D&D voodoo man.

    D&D Conversion Thread: I'll make whatever you ******' want into a D&D thing.

    I did one of these ages ago on the old forum but sorta dropped it, so here's me, restarting the thing. TL;DR incoming: I will convert something into Dungeons and Dragons format for you. If you're unfamiliar, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop RPG that's extremely modular, meaning pretty...

    D&D CRT: Specific Character Fixes

    Howdy. Quick CRT since the last one finished. A couple characters need modifying slightly, I'll post my suggestions and discuss with any willing. Rad Rad (Dungeons and Dragons): the page in question. TL;DR Rad's page currently doesn't include his form pre-Immortal ascension (Stephen Amber)...

    D&D Attack Potency Revision

    Hey all, figure this isn't a terribly controversial CRT to start things off with. Basically, this thread proposes to change all currently "High 8-C" D&D pages to "At least 8-B, possibly 8-A". Currently the pages scale to Freezing Sphere (here), but since the CRT lockdown I've personally...

    Dungeons and Dragons: Big Thread for Stuff

    So, talked about making this thread on the old forums. Not sure how I feel about these yet but hey, we're here, right? TL;DR this will serve as a general D&D thread. If you're interested, hop on in and talk about the world's greatest RPG. This thread should serve as a place to do all of the...

    Slight Absolver Revision

    TL;DR the Absolver's Tier 2 needs to go as it's being reclassified as Environmental Destruction exclusive to Arcell. The only page affected by this is the Absolver. Not gonna type up a big thread just for him.

    I'll Make You a D&D Statblock

    Summary Hey there, I learned awhile ago that my D&D session in a couple of days will likely be canceled since one of the players has a birthday. Fair enough, but I shall not let the day be wasted. Instead, I make an offer to you folks. For the next few days, post a character in this thread...

    A New Kind of Dragon: Dragonslayer Ornstein vs Dragon Turtle

    Dark Souls was recently downgraded, so lets spam them a bit. Ashen One might be able to fight some of the stronger D&D lads, but let's first see about these guys. Dragonslayer Ornstein vs the Dragon Turtle. 6-C keys for both (77.94 Gigatons of TNT vs 84.68 Gigatons of TNT). Fight takes place...

    Minor Intelligence Adjustment

    Summary Minor thing, Ant talked to me awhile ago and feels that, in the name of taking a conservative approach, we should downgrade creatures with Intelligence 21-39 (i.e., sub-Gond creatures) should have their "possibly Supergenius" ratings removed, as they have only a single feat on this...
