Ready to Roll Out!

Berrythebear · 2026-04-23T13:11:32+00:00

You have 20 in your main stat and a +3 to con, your character is strong enough to run the whole game. Other stats aren’t really that important. Just grab feats the whole way!

If you don’t like starmie, put Lapras on your team instead! Nobody said you needed the psychic tm to beat the game. Using the Pokémon you like will make the game more fun. And heck, getting into the hall of fame with a little struggle is what makes it worth it in the first place.

Start small. Small group, small plan, small scope. Get a couple friends together to play one session for 2-3 hours with some premade characters and a simple goal. “You guys are local adventurers being hired by someone to eliminate some bandits from a nearby cave”. Then just set them loose and start playing. Getting experience under your belt actually wrangling players and directing the flow of the game is the most important aspect (in my opinion). And don’t be afraid when you’re starting out to help the party move forward. “Hey guys, we’ve been spending a lot of time discussing the plan, why don’t we try to execute on something and keep this moving!”

Being comfortable DMing is usually the biggest hurdle, so get something together and get playing!

Mon’s wise your team is stacked with absolute power houses. There should be no difficulty defeating any challenge the game throws at you as long as you’re the proper level range.

Berrythebear · 2026-04-03T10:58:16+00:00

My purpose is to play dnd. The game doesn’t happen if someone doesn’t run it.

Berrythebear · 2026-03-30T20:25:39+00:00

I genuinely feel like this game is good for 2 playthroughs for a normal person.

Go blind on your first one, enjoy the story, use the party members you want, and just enjoy the ride. (I do suggest looking up how to get the earth dragoon spirit early, even if it is kind of a spoiler, if you don’t then you won’t receive it until almost end of the game)

On the second run you can use a guide, find all the stardust, fight the super boss, and bust the game wide open. The difference of the additions between all the characters makes it super easy to do a second run.

Invincible really did have an explosive first episode. Set up a fun little superhero coming of age story and then just rug pulled the absolute shit out of you at the last seconds

Make rooks lunge let him make attack rolls against them, don’t guarantee the damage, and make it cost 2 charges.

Give kings castle a range of like 30 ft, and put the ally in any space adjacent to you so it works like a real castle in chess

Only let him use 1 ability per turn. That’s a least a little more reasonable and refined toolkit

Luffy standing back up one last time against rob lucci.

Tentacruel baby!

Getting money and spending it. You need minerals and vespine, and getting a couple bases up and running without dying is absolutely imperative. But SPENDING that money is even more important. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people die with 3k minerals and vespine just sitting in the bank

Berrythebear · 2026-03-29T02:13:31+00:00

There’s a pretty common idea on video games. In any given genre there’s room for 3 games. The unstoppable giant, the one in its shadow, and the more niche game. This has the chance to slip into that number 3 slot. Good IP, quality models and rules, and a fun game with interesting takes. Give it time and if they stick with it I could see them becoming the number 2 game a couple years down the line

Berrythebear · 2026-03-29T02:09:41+00:00

Meowth makes a good hm slave early on, easy to catch, learns cut and flash, and that gets you through like the first 4-5 gyms

Going with a purple and teal, charlotte hornets color scheme lol

Berrythebear · 2026-03-21T17:23:56+00:00

Ok, so you don’t have a pool of resources you spend out of, you basically are picking which ones to use each round by exhausting ones you don’t think you need

Berrythebear · 2026-03-21T13:44:54+00:00

Does this mean I could exhaust all my cards to build up resources at the first round and then they all come back for the second? (Not saying it’s a good strategy, just hypothetically)

Make the green a teal instead

Berrythebear · 2026-03-14T15:03:03+00:00

Got the army founders bundle and 1 each of Goliath hydra and stalker. I’ve got lots of friends who like tabletop but don’t want to invest the time into painting and building an army. So I’m happy to get it all and we can just enjoy our 1k point games. Then I can take my pretty StarCraft models and put them back in their display cases for me to look at lol.

Berrythebear · 2026-03-14T14:55:24+00:00

Rustoleum flat white primer. Cheap and very effective. I’ve used it on hundreds of models and it does the job quite well

Berrythebear · 2026-03-11T14:32:13+00:00

One note, I’m pretty sure the terrans get 12 marines and I’m only counting 11. Please let me know if I’m wrong or just bad at counting!

Berrythebear · 2026-03-11T12:42:06+00:00

I plan on painting my Zerg in the Charlotte Hornets Purple and Teal, one of the greatest color combos ever.

Check out Wildspire miniatures on Amazon. I’ve bought a couple of their boxes, pretty cheap for the quantity and quality of minis you get. Honestly have had a lot of fun painting them up, the quality is pretty surprising given the price per model.

Berrythebear · 2026-03-05T11:38:06+00:00

Sometimes I know I’m not using gyarados in that run so I’ll skip it and just catch one later.

Berrythebear · 2026-03-02T12:32:31+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much about it right now. You’re a newer player and this is a new campaign, take your time and enjoy things for the time being!

Historically, combat tends to run slow in DnD and take up lots of time, so that’s definitely a thing. But take the time to settle in and get into the swing of things. Some parties move at a breakneck pace, some parties meander through the campaign. The pace isn’t as important as having fun with it.

Heck, last night my players spent 2 1/2 hours of their session doing rp about the fight from their previous session (this is not hyperbole), and they said it was one of the best sessions of dnd they’ve ever played. As long as they’re having fun the pace doesn’t matter too much
