The phrase "Annihilate direct my curse" can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the context and perspective. At first glance, it appears to be a command or request to someone or something to completely destroy or eliminate a curse that has been placed upon the speaker. The phrasing suggests a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the curse is causing great harm or suffering. However, a more nuanced interpretation could be that the speaker is calling upon a greater power or force to channel their curse in a directed and purposeful manner. In this sense, they are not necessarily asking for the curse to be removed, but rather for it to be focused and utilized as a weapon. The word "annihilate" implies complete destruction or obliteration, while "direct" suggests a specific target or intention.
These new dungeon delvers are the expendables. Our players know they might not last and that's ok. They've only had them since the beginning of the Tomb of the Nine Gods. If the die, they die.
When a player was bitten by a lycanthrope they had to double-time it to a healer to have the curse removed before the next full moon, which presents an opportunity to introduce exhaustion rules. On the other, I understand the nature of the threat needs to be sufficiently threatening, or people will just leave the jungles of Chult to rot all by themselves.
The word "annihilate" implies complete destruction or obliteration, while "direct" suggests a specific target or intention. By combining these two ideas, the speaker is invoking a destructive force that will specifically target their curse. This could be seen as a way to reclaim control over their own fate and utilize the curse as a tool or resource rather than something to be feared or escaped.
Tomb of Annihilation Review and Modifications (Part 1)
I’m excited to say I am a whole year and 21 sessions into running Tomb of Annihilation (TOA) on Roll20 with some good friends. We are in the middle of a golden age of tabletop role-playing games brought forth by a few things:
- nostalgia-inducing Fifth edition of D&D
- streaming & podcast driven exposure of the hobby
- something about the times we live making games that require eye contact with your friends exciting
This is a review of the published adventure “Tomb of Annihilation” of the main Wizards of the Coast D&D brand, which I decided to use as the basis for my game. If you are looking for a breakdown of the adventure, check out other reviews first.
Game 6: Thundering Lizard tavern with full isometric art from Epic Isometric. Lots of token customization.
If you’ve come interested in my isometric conversion of the module, check out my previous post on the subject last year. The two most important tips are that you can convert top-down maps to isometric with a two-step transformation in a picture editor and that you should check out Epic Isometric as a way to introduce a consistent visual style to your game. As it’s a derivative work of art and game assets from all over, I’ll just say I made it intended for personal use. I encourage folks to support the hobby by buying art packs from artists like Mike Schley and Epic Isometric. The Roll20 and DndBeyond content packs for Tomb of Annihilation are both awesome.
Overall, the phrase "Annihilate direct my curse" conveys a mixture of desperation, agency, and the desire for control. It captures the complex emotions and desires that can arise when faced with a curse, and the conflicting impulses to both escape and harness its power..
