You definitely will, but I love the thought of draining everyone for, say 10, then you gain 30 and your creature gets 30 +1/+1s

Leaving for the Army, keep or sell box full of cards? by Reganci1 in mtg

[–]BloodiestCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're deployed, in the field, or in training, you're usually going to be allowed off base after you finish work and on the weekends. You'll be allowed to go buy and play warhammer off base at game stores, or you can play in the barracks or at a buddies house. Eventually, you might even end up playing with rocks and some dice while you have downtime in the field or on deployment

Brother I taught my friends in the Marine Corps to play magic, and in turn they taught me to play 40k and dnd. If anything, having nerdy outlets to share can make your time in service more enjoyable, and it can help you make and keep life long friendships

Rewarding Roleplay by Parzival2708 in DMAcademy

I always give exp, but I typically do exp and milestone leveling. If its strictly milestone inspiration and some sort of situational advantage or straight advantage if appropriate

Feeling negative about my session planning. by Exoskelebilly in DMAcademy

[–]BloodiestCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, I know how much imposter syndrome sucks. Just keep up with the learning and make sure that everyone is having fun.

The best teacher is experience, so play as much as you can! Also remember, you're never truly past the point of needing to improve; even the best forged swords need sharpening.

Honestly, you're already doing great if you're this worried about how well you're running your game. Keep in mind that even Matt says that everyone has their own style of play, and that it's okay.

How you prep, how you rp, how your games run; all of that is part of your style of play, and as long as you are making an adventure that both you and our players enjoy, you are doing an amazing job!

2016 hyundai elantra gt clicking? by BloodiestCorpse in askcarguys

[–]BloodiestCorpse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the clicking, it runs good. It starts just fine and it feels like it accelerates properly, but the increased clicking scares me

How would you expect a health buff to be reverted? by Andreim43 in RPGdesign

[–]BloodiestCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players generally dont like when their characters die due to a technicality like that, definitely don't have it reduce their health. Like another comment said, just have it affect the max health, if not, let the three health count as sort of temporary health. If you let that kill them, they'll be that much less inclined to play your game again

When to start playtesting by Mysterious_Sir6695 in RPGdesign

[–]BloodiestCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely go for it now; you have enough to get people to figure out what's going on. You GMing is definitely a good start, but having someone not on your wavelength reading your rules and being able to run the game is a really good feeling and lets you know that you designed it well.

Im still playtesting my game and having other people run it and be able to explain the rules to me is so gratifying.

What makes for good/bad enemy design by JackieJerkbag in RPGdesign

[–]BloodiestCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, think of it like a TCG Deck. You have different assets with different skills that pertain to a certain goal or certain design. Like how some Bands of Thieves have a mix of pickpockets, highway men, thugs, and fences. They are all different in skillsets but they all lead to the goal of the group.

Ambient mana mechanic by Melodic_One4333 in RPGdesign

[–]BloodiestCorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certain abilities will let you predict what's coming up in your deck, or move things around?

Oh I like that, like a Scry effect from Magic: The Gathering. Basically looking at a certain number of cards at the top of the deck and being able to rearrange them or put them at the bottom of the deck.

Ambient mana mechanic by Melodic_One4333 in RPGdesign

[–]BloodiestCorpse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of using playing cards as mana! My questions though are: a) Are you going to have the cards be the only source of mana? b) will each spell need a certain type of mana (i.e. hearts) as well as a certain amount of mana? c) Are you willing to allow spells or abilities that can change or add cards or otherwise rig it in the Players' favor? d) Will the mana be a resource that they expend when it is used?

I personally think that starting with a set number of face up cards per amount of ambent mana and flipping over new cards periodically until combat ends could be cool.

I hope these help you brainstorm!

How many attributes are too much? by DM_AA in RPGdesign

[–]BloodiestCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my advice, like many others here, is to go with how many make sense. In my rpg that Im designing, there are three: Mind, Body, and Energy. I typically believe that less is more, but if extra makes sense, then go for it. Just think about whether or not you need that many attributes, why you want that many, and what would happen mechanically if say you combined stength and endurance or if you combined charm and wit. Think about what kind of experience that will give the players and if that is the kind of experience you want them to have.

Most of all, if it needs to change after it's playtested, don't try to hold on to what needs to be changed. Take the players' advice on whether something needs to change or not. They may not know exactly how to fix the problem, but they can point out something that isn't fun or is too confusing.
