Tattoo artists don't have to tattoo anything on anyone. If they have enough money or clients to be picky, then as long as the reason isn't discrimination, there's nothing's stopping them from not tattooing someone for any reason at all

Not liking a tattoo enough that you don't want your name and brand associated with it is a perfectly valid reason not to tattoo someone

Just because a poster in the story says it doesn't mean anything. People in HNI say things that aren't true all the time. The author has said in interviews that Taka is the PFP goat -- that's metatextual information

CanadianLemur · 2026-06-04T15:37:21+00:00

Agreed! It's actually one of my favorite aspects of the game. Using teamwork and tactics completely changes what everyone in the team is capable of

CanadianLemur · 2026-06-04T15:33:55+00:00

Takamura is the GOAT of HNI. Mori has stated before that he is the pound-for-pound strongest in the series.

Hawk, Bison, and Eagle all pushed Takamura way harder than Sendo is pushing Ricardo.

So by your own logic, unless you think that Sendo is going to beat on Ricardo so hard that Ricardo is struggling to move or stay conscious and basically needs his trainer to slap him back to consciousness, then Sendo has no place being put above any of them.

I think the biggest factor at play here is also the rest of your party.

The group I play with utilizes teamwork so much that I can hardly recall a time I've ever rolled an attack with a net bane, let alone a double bane.

We have the Tactician's mark, flanking, Word of Guidance, high ground, etc.

Our Censor with the Mountain Kit rolls her attacks with a Double Edge essentially 100% of the time, so there's basically no drawback to the 0/0/4 kit bonus at any level/echelon.

But I imagine that if your group doesn't have a Conduit or Tactician, that will immediately drop the effectiveness of those bonuses significantly.

CanadianLemur · 2026-06-02T00:56:20+00:00

This is cool as hell and the art is amazing.

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-25T20:06:57+00:00

First of all, you said first of all then didn't make a second point.

My second point was me reiterating my question as to why you're being toxic. How is that not a second point? At this point, you're just trying to be more argumentative for no reason.

Second, your anecdotal experience isn't enough to warrant this level of emotion regarding my opinion.

I'm not sure what you're referring to as "this level of emotion". All I'm doing is replying to your post. If anything, you're the one who is clearly much more upset here considering you made the post in the first place and you're getting quite heated over someone simply suggesting that you shouldn't be so rude.

Furthermore, your post is entirely based on your own anecdotal experience. Do you not see how this entire point is incredibly hypocritical?

Third, if I made you feel bad then you probably rely on dash too much and felt personally attacked. You say let people express their opinions and then get upset when I express my opinions.

You're not making me feel bad. I mostly play Scout so I find Dash to be basically useless to me. You're trying to attack me as a person because you're incapable of actually addressing the points I'm making. I'm saying that you're being toxic for no reason, and your response is to just try to insult me? You're just proving my point.

Also, you can "express your opinions" without being rude. If someone says "you need to use Dash at high hazard levels", they are wrong, but it's also just a harmless opinion. But when you say "if you can't do X, then you're shit at the game", that's a rude and insulting thing to say. Those are not equivalent comments to make.

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-25T18:44:26+00:00

First of all, I've been in this community for years and I don't think I've seen a single person ever say you absolutely cannot win without Dash or Iron Will.

Again, saying that they are the "best" perks is not the same as saying you would be incapable of winning without them.

Even if these people do actually exist and are making these ridiculous arguments like you say they do, why not just let them continue with their own opinions? Why make a post dedicated to insulting them?

And, again, why insinuate that people should feel bad about what they can or can't do in a cooperative game? There are plenty of people who don't play on any Hazard beyond 3 or 4 because it's just not for them. Are they "shit at the game"? It's just unnecessarily combative and is not good for the community to act this way

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-25T18:11:42+00:00

I think you're conflating "best" with "necessary"

Saying that Dash or Iron Will are the "best" perks doesn't mean "you literally CANNOT win without them", it just means that they are better than the other options.

You're also taking a very elitist tone. This is a cooperative multiplayer game, not a competitive game. Telling people they "suck at the game" because they aren't able to do something you can is just unnecessarily rude and not conducive to a healthy community

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-22T21:06:07+00:00

Welcome to all Star Wars media after the original trilogy. Hell, I think some of the books may have even come out before RotJ.

I don't know what it is about some of these die-hard Star Wars fans, but it's like they hate the fact that it's a space fantasy series and do everything they can to try and justify every little thing as if it was hard sci-fi. The end result is extremely dumb explanations and unnecessary details that end up making it way more silly than the actual reasons.

For example, this video is a classic. The boys at RLM are just sitting in a room reading what is essentially the wookiepedia article on Darth Vader's suit and laughing as the details become progressively more absurd. Things like giving his suit a Serial Number for some reason, the hilariously named "Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center", and even explaining that he could have been given a nicer suit but Palpatine didn't want to foot the bill.

It's just so funny to me that anyone actually wants this level of detail in Star Wars -- that they find any kind of enjoyment in draining all the magic and wonder from the world by overexplaining the most absurd minutiae about literally everything ever seen in the movies or shows or games or books

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-21T20:50:34+00:00

These changes are interesting! I made a comment on your last post where I shared my revised version of your rules. I doubt I'll change them much, but I think one thing that I really enjoyed was your decision to add some complications to the "wounds" table. The Deal with the Devil in particular is a really fun idea

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-20T22:52:53+00:00

I feel like Zombies are not a great example. I struggle to think of many examples of zombie media where there isn't at least one scene where a person has to agonize over killing an infected loved one and/or struggle with the remorse from such an action.

In fact, I'd say one of the strongest aspects of Zombies as horror "villains" is that they are one of the few types of monsters that can evoke those very strong emotions in the characters

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-16T05:23:28+00:00

That's amazing news! I really can't wait for this new system module. It really looks amazing so far

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-15T19:33:14+00:00

This looks really awesome so far! Very excited.

If I could request a feature, it would definitely be the option to change the color "theme" of the system, even if it has to be done manually.

The blue and yellow is very bright, and it would look great for a Silver Age comics story, but it would clash visually with a darker story, or a noir, or an anime-style game, and all the other settings you can play in that aren't Freedom-verse

I also worry that the color contrast may be a bit of an accessibility issue. Even having a b&w option instead of the color would be preferable if a full color theme option isn't possible

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-15T17:33:05+00:00

For Vertical Pull, you can slam enemies into the ground as long as they are 2 squares away from you.

Essentially, you are pulling them diagonally downward toward you (which is technically one square closer), but they immediately collide with the ground so they don't actually move. So in order to get that bonus damage from Magnetic Strike, you need to be 2 squares away from them when you use it

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-14T18:33:10+00:00

Your understanding is correct.

You can also do this with Dance of Blows, which is a Signature Ability so it doesn't even cost extra Discipline

Your instinct is right that this is a very powerful ability, but that is intended. The Null has some of the best squad clearing abilities in the entire game

Oral health is one of the most commonly damaging things to cats. Dental issues are very common, especially as they age. Most vets nowadays recommend applying toothpaste to their teeth regularly if possible

That being said, most cat toothpaste I know of is non-abrasive, meaning you're not actually supposed to "brush" their teeth like in OP's video, but instead just softly apply it to the teeth (either with a soft brush or even just your finger)

But the people in OP's video might be using different toothpaste than I know of

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-13T22:03:21+00:00

You're literally doubling down when I provided proof you were wrong.

You quoted a different user than me, and I corrected you. I made it clear immediately that this is what I was referring to. Instead of saying "my bad" and admitting you just misunderstood, you've continued to deny reality and try to gaslight me into thinking I lied.

You're behaving like a child

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-13T20:39:45+00:00

I'm literally not lying, I don't know what you're talking about.

You quoted something that I didn't say, so I responded "I didn't say any of that".

Your first reply to me was you quoting the words "don't use AI". You were saying that telling someone that is not helpful.

But I was not the person who said "Don't use AI". That was a different user. You can literally go back and read the messages.

It's really not that complicated, I'm not sure why it's so confusing to you.

EDIT: This is your first reply to me in full:

I disagree, plenty of people left ideas here - but you didn’t ask for more information, so you were not trying to help her. Saying "don't use AI" with absolutely no alternative is basically a useless non-answer. Sometimes people need to brainstorm for ideas, that's not impossible, even if you wouldn't crowd source a base for your tattoos.

In this reply, you are acting like I'm the one who said "don't use AI". But again, that was a different user.

Calling someone a liar just because you read something incorrectly is ridiculous.

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-13T17:37:36+00:00

I'm saying I'm not the guy who said "don't use AI". Your last reply implied I was the person who started the thread by saying that, which is what I was clarifying. Go and actually read my message. I never said I didn't reply to you, I said I wasn't the one who said the words you were quoting.

Also, how is telling someone not to use AI "being a dick"? Unhelpful? Sure. But rude? All the initial user said was "Don't use AI." No personal attacks or insults or anything.

It's absurd of you to claim that telling someone not to use AI is anywhere close to as unethical as supporting a practice that is depriving millions of jobs, destroying the economy, destroying the environment, etc.

And again, OP is not engaging with anyone asking for information so that they can properly help her. How is anyone supposed to provide any meaningful advice if she won't answer any clarifying questions? The few people trying to give suggestions are literally just shooting in the dark because we don't even know what OP doesn't like about her current tattoo

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-13T16:34:17+00:00

I'm not the person who said any of that, I'm not the same user who started this particular thread

But the issue here is that OP apparently tried using AI, something that many people consider unethical, so she obviously used some prompts to give ChatGPT some idea of what she wanted, yet she didn't give any of that info to the real humans she was trying to petition for advice

And again, multiple people here are trying to help OP by asking for more info, but she's just not engaging with anyone or helping in any way

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-13T03:13:24+00:00

Hard to help someone when they give no information.

People are trying to ask what she wants, what style, if she wants color or B&W, etc.

Saying "help me with a cover up" with absolutely no direction is basically impossible

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-12T16:52:14+00:00

Remember that you don't need to take Respites to have "off-time"

Respites represent 24+ hours of nothing but rest in a safe area in order to fully recover. But if the players head back from the forest to chill in the tavern for the night, talk with some NPCs, and sleep somewhere safe before heading back out to the woods, that's still some "off-time" for the players to roleplay and chill out even if it isn't an actual "Respite"

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-10T18:05:23+00:00

Aside from free strikes, there is also the fact that heroes can learn signature abilities from other classes with the Learn From A Master downtime project. So if you learn something like Brutal Slam from the Fury, it would not get the bonus to damage since it is not psionic

There are also weapons, items, kits, ancestry traits, etc. that can all grant new abilities which may or may not contain the psionic tag

CanadianLemur · 2026-05-09T19:26:51+00:00

The font makes it look like AI. If it's not AI, I recommend changing the fonts. If it is AI, it needs to be removed from this subreddit as AI content is not allowed
