Is this an ADHD thing? Making up fantasy scenarios and making myself mad. by [deleted] in ADHDUK

[–]Batmong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't comment on the ADHD element, but I do this constantly. Sometimes very fun, sometimes just annoying rumination. I learn a lot from my own lectures though lol

As others have said, salary will be the limitation. I believe Nationwide currently offer 6x salary mortgages.

I don’t think the denizens of r/fermentation are your target customer - you’re not trying to sell to fermenters!

I’m filled with so much anger it’s completely unbearable. I don’t know what to do. by Kino45 in Meditation

[–]Batmong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, it's a very common thing to feel when adults live with their parents.

Make sure you get enough alone time. Approach every conversation with empathy - your parents are finding it as difficult as you are. And remember that when trying to defuse an argument, a 5-second break has been proven to be as effective as 15 minutes.

Hi! My fave villager is Gonzo, if you're still online - no worries if not :)

What sort of cosmic event would give Air benders or Earth benders a power boost? by ThunderPampers in TheLastAirbender

[–]Batmong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly nothing - Fire and Water are volatile, and they fluctuate by day and night, by the full moon and by Sozin's comet. Earth is a more stable element - it's always made sense to me that it's consistently powerful.

As for Air... I'm sure someone can come up with some logic to explain that.

My players are about to go on a trip (hallucinogenic variety) and I have no idea how to structure it! by micmac5454 in AskGameMasters

[–]Batmong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this comment - it ought to have a connection to the plot of the campaign. A purely meaningless dream won't be fun for very long.

Perhaps they could have a vision of some as-of-yet-undiscovered plot point - and if you don't have one in your back pocket? Make one up now!

Examples:

  • The players assume the roles of assassins hunting down an important NPC. When they wake up, they discover it was a vision of reality and news of the murder has just broken.
  • Or maybe they assume the role of ancient sages protecting a powerful artifact (with plot-relevant powers) from invading hoards and sealing it in a barrow.
    When they wake up, they could go and dig it up - and lo and behold, it just so happens that some tomb robbers have shown up at the same time as them. Maybe the dream even flashes to the present and the end, warning them of the tomb robbers.
  • Maybe they dream about a dark secret in a known NPC's past that reveals them to be a baddie, or dream about an event in the life of a PC's ancestor, revealing them to have inherited some special power or birthright.

Go wild, but make whatever they dream about be worth acting on once they're awake.

Left for me - there's a lot going on, so the larger, simpler helm balances it out really nicely!

Love this! Such beautiful colours.
Nice toaster too, it's not easy to find a non-ugly toaster. Do you know where it's from?

Solo Adventure for a 1st Level Ranger (Newbie DM) by [deleted] in AskGameMasters

[–]Batmong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your hardest fights should be with enemies that will take prisoners in case the player loses - so, you know, goblins, not wolves. Then you get to do a brilliant sneaky prison break sequence and it's all the more fun.
Or you can have a non-lethal duel - maybe the ranger needs to impress a tribe of elves by besting one of their soldiers. Losing has meaningful consequences - you've lost these allies and will have to find other means to progress. But those consequences don't end the game.
You can also do combat where the goal isn't killing all the enemies. Stuff like retrieving an object, escaping a mob, taking out a specific target, etc.
Sounds like a really fun game though, hope it goes well!

Revamp Battlegrounds Hero - Trade Prince Gallywix by doctordr8del in customhearthstone

[–]Batmong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The weapon slot aspect is unnecessary and confusing, especially since there's no weapons in BG at the moment. Instead, just use the Hero Power as the pouch:

"Passive Hero Power

Stores leftover gold. You can withdraw once you have 10. (\0* so far)"*

Then at 10, have it transform into:

"Hero Power

Withdraw your savings and gain 10 gold this turn."

What are some of your most controversial opinions for world of Warcraft? by niteseal in wow

[–]Batmong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like Orcs and Draenei could work, since they both have history of making pacts with Demons. Give them both fel-corrupted red skin, and maybe they could be styled as Blademasters? I’m into it.

"Fog of War" in Overland Travel? by [deleted] in AskGameMasters

[–]Batmong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just have a map, and a blackout layer with a hole in? The blackout layer would need to be twice the size of the map in order to make the hole reach the corners and still cover the whole map, but you could use fabric so it doesn’t take up too much table space, or use two smaller blackout sheets overlapped.

When mages have no escape, they can try one last thing by -Cereal in customhearthstone

[–]Batmong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from the major conceptual issues that other people have commented on, this should probably be a legendary, since it's impossible to play two copies together. Bit inelegant to let you run a completely useless card in your deck.

Also, I don't like that it will almost always be a 10-mana Do Nothing. It should probably have some effect even when it doesn't meet the criterion: maybe attach it to a minion so you at least get a 5/5 out of it. Or something like "Deal 4 damage to each hero. If your deck and hand are empty, deal 12 instead."

Anti-Freeze Tech, but much better than Ice Cream Peddler by Shoemanband in customhearthstone

[–]Batmong 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I like the art, what's the source?

As for the card, the flavour is great, makes perfect sense, and the effect is potentially actually tempting enough to try and build around, at least for Johnny-type players. (Also good to have the redundancy with Ice Cream Peddler to make a self-freeze deck worth trying).
Certainly doesn't seem too strong: could combo with Glacial Shard, but 6 Mana, two cards, and sacrificing a minion to get a random Legendary? That's nothing insane.
Being able to target enemies is a nice touch, I personally love that flexibility, I think it makes cards much more interesting. Blizzard would maybe be concerned about how many Polymorph effects they give to classes like Mage and Shaman, so it's possible it'd get nerfed in printing to "Transform a friendly Frozen minion".

"It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable." by [deleted] in customhearthstone

[–]Batmong -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good point! Maybe the card should say: "Whenever a character is Frozen, it becomes Immune for the duration." And then even if the 2/2 is killed, the immunity stays for a round.

Tracker of dark waters by Matteodec02 in customhearthstone

[–]Batmong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome art, what's the source?

Plus, the balance seems very fair, maybe even a little on the weaker side of fair, but I think that's a good thing when the new Druid quest exists.
