My sister and I were diving deep into the lore and rules for mimics and the most terrifying thing they could be, is either an entire planet or a humanoid. They might even be able to be a planet-sized humanoid. Or even a human-sized planetoid 😱

Definitely did not expect Konsi doing a Street Fighter 6 Cammy cosplay.

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 days ago

This one caused me so much trouble! I went into it thinking "this will be easy" but it's surprisingly hard to get right.

I don't think I 100% got it, her body proportions are too human (Konsi is 4ft tall) - but it was a lot of fun to try. Daily drawing challenges aren't about being perfect, they're about just getting the thing done and learning from it.

What do you mean

  1. Meme Pose

Is this #9 of things mimics can turn intoβ€½

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This was part of my october drawing prompts, the prompt was "meme pose"

Artist circles on Twitter (although now it's blue sky) have a bunch of "meme" drawing challenges. Most commonly "outfit" challenges where you have to draw your character wearing a specific outfit. These challenges are like artist "memes", seeing other people do them causes them to spread. Pose memes are less common, but there are a few.

This pose is the "cammy stretch" meme pose: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cammy-stretch

I did recognise Cammy's stretch pose, I was just commenting on the fact it was labelled similarly to the mimic poses in the post ^_^

But thanks for the explanation, though!

Now I want Konsi christmas cookies!

[–] ahdok@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A long time ago I did spend a few months experimenting with ratios to make my own cookie recipe, it makes really good chocolate chip cookies. Not very christmassy though.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

sprinkle something green and red and it becomes crissmass-y

OP delivers!

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 39 points 1 week ago

Play Shattered Pixel Dungeon. You can get special mimics that can disguise as literally everything. A door, strength potion, the way to the next level, basically anything that looks useful. And of course they only appear as soon as you've forgotten to check for them.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's why you need post it on your stuff.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All fun and games until the mimic pretends to be a post-it note

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like to think mimics cant replicate text. If not I'm gonna need a fancy mimic lens or start tapping my stuff with a wrench before I touch it.

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They can replicate text, but it's not very good, like AI pictures. This has led to many of them having a text phobia, so make sure to carve your name into everything.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago

Safety fact!

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Teleportation mimic will teleport you. To its stomach.

Breastplate mimic just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.

Saddle mimic wants to lick your lowers parts.

No comment on outhouse mimic. We don't talk about it.

The rope mimic has some more specific tastes.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.

Get in line, mimic.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 week ago

I've always been a fan of mimics being ladders or bridges.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago

Not my menstrual cup!

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is similar to the premise of Prey.

[–] Atlusb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[This post is not a mimic]

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That seems like something a mimic would say.

[–] sirblastalot@ttrpg.network 13 points 1 week ago

Cover your phb in spray adhesive and leave it sitting on the table. As soon as someone touches it, shout "ROLL INITIATIVE!"

Actually, apply this to other random objects at the game table. A bag of chips, 1 can of soda in the fridge, every 3rd pencil, whatever.

[–] DmMacniel 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And then we have Starfinder where a mimic can disguise itself as an entire planet!

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The player handbook isn’t a problem, no one reads that thing.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's a good way to get rid of your rules lawyer. Everyone hates that guy anyway.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I've often thought it'd be fun to let a party have a tame mimic as a pet. Not helpful in battle unfortunately, unless one of your opponents decides to take a looting break.

My party do have a pet mimic. He's called Philip and is mostly there for comic relief although he has been known to help with puzzles and things occasionally

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Thrown weapon mimic, like a javelin. Enemy picks it up to throw back and bam, surprise bite!!!

[–] Klordok@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The Flee, Mortals! book has a mimic companion stat block. It can cover you and act as active camouflage.

One D&D podcast I listen to had one be a house in Sigil. After they had dealt with the plot to use it for magic or something some of the party ended up feeding it animals much to the chagrin of the rest of the party but did save some other creatures living in the area from getting eaten.

I wanna share this in the group chat, but I don't wanna give the GM any ideas xD

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's always more fun when mimics team up. A couple of goblins bother the party at night, just enough to give them chase, then when they return, hop into their sleeping bag and boom, mimic.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

outhouse oof.

[–] Atlusb@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about the party being mimics but don't tell them that.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Tell every party member that they are a mimic and need to keep it a secret from the rest of the party.
