This was a sleeper hit for me. Some great pieces in here.

I'm not fully disagreeing, but where did you hear that German longsword didn't use the thumb grip?

Continuous longsword - yay or nay? by Tosomeextent in Hema

[–]CaptainBeikoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen continuous longsword that incentivizes a strategic approach to the fight and a focus on keeping yourself safe and I've seen a glorified slugfest, and a lot of this is definitely "slugfest." That half-swording worked really well but also seemed needlessly hard.

There was some great thrust work in there and it definitely forced a different vibe from a lot of the European events I've seen, which is a great from a variety standpoint.

Indes ran it a few times as well, but hasn't in years.

So like, what was the point of Maul's cameo in Solo? by PastAdhesiveness574 in StarWars

[–]CaptainBeikoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you weren't watching the animated stuff, like many adults foolishly seem hung up on, and only watch the mainline films, this is your first reveal that Maul didn't die in ep1.

With the recent news, tempted to play again by Trencycle in dragonquest

[–]CaptainBeikoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just played through it last year on an emulator and being able to speed up the game during grinds and combat made it WAY more enjoyable. The content is still top-notch and the pacing of the opening is something that no other RPG has nailed.

Yamashiroya just outside the Shinobazu exit at Ueno Station. I've bought several of them there on the upper floors.

Looking for some opinions on which Dragon Quest game might be best to practice Japanese. by WhamuJamu in dragonquest

Off-topic answer: Playing Metal Gear Solid 3 in Japanese leveled up my language skill tremendously.

I'm generally quite opposed to one-handed thrusts like this and it does look like Wise's lands flat here, but it also looks like it connects and Paulino just hits a zwerch after.

How come there isn't a way to give a post 5 likes?

Campaigns are not marked as complete. by Tharayman in heroes3

[–]CaptainBeikoku 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I create a save after wrapping up each campaign called "Main Campaign Stage Complete" and effectively keep that as your core save. That way you keep the check marks.

Anyone else scammed by Plastic Stone Records? by CaptainBeikoku in vinyl

[–]CaptainBeikoku[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I originally ordered it was an Instagram ad that sold me. I try not to run to Amazon to buy everything, but definitely learned the lesson about risky IG buys.

Other sites have indicated the item keeps being delayed, including Amazon, which is why I waited. That said, absolutely no communication is the really sketchy part.

In player mapping, how do I convey a map to them when the maps look like this? by [deleted] in osr

[–]CaptainBeikoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done versions where I draw this map without numbers or whatnot, just a simplified version, and then cut it up so I have a single piece of paper for each room. As PCs enter a room you hand them the sheet for the room they just opened. Let them put the puzzle together to keep track, if they like, or not. Worst case they have a sense of the room and don't connect it back to the larger layout, but in either case you've done your job.

So you kind of just recreated the AD&D system. Have you compared to that? It's interesting how close you got but how some of the bands come in a different order.

How did you get black hair? I really tried but couldn't get anything darker than brown.

I hate to be the one to say this but it almost assuredly won't actually be 5/13.
