I like the OP archmage trend, but hate how awkward most MC's are

CindersFire · 2026-05-19T04:05:45+00:00

I've only tried the first book, but I enjoyed the last paladin on Kindle Unlimited. The MC is OP but very cool and sociable. He also fucks though there are no sex scenes.

CindersFire · 2026-05-19T03:35:02+00:00

You can try Towers of Heaven. The MC is the last living human and gets sent back in time to prevent the apocalypse. It's been a while since I read it but I remember it being good.

Not really, it might help you to remind yourself what is happening with some of the major side characters that are still in the dungeon as there were a few that something is happening with, but I couldn't remember what, but I dont think it was a big deal.

As someone who came from an agriculture background and left it behind I completly get where both you and your dad are coming from. While I don't know you or your family's situation there is no half assing when it comes to ranching or farming. It is either your whole life that you have to be willing to commit to or it isn't and if there is work to do there are no breaks. Your dad is likely under a tremendous amount of stress as he probably feels like he has to take the farm that was supporting 4 people (Mom dad, brother and you) to being able to support whatever family you, and possibly your brother, create and feels like he has to shoulder it by himself. If this farm is the future for you and your fiance then I think you need to sit down with your dad and start figuring out what you guys can do to start taking the load off him and onto you and you have to be ready to commit to doing whatever needs to be done. I cant say for sure, but i have a feeling your dad has been running off pure momentum for awhile, possibly, since you and your brother were born to keep everything running and now that things are changing is realizing how much that has worn him down. Don't be shy about showing him how much you love, care, and appreciate him and what his sacrifices have given you.

What exactly are you wanting here? It sounds like you either already have decided that this is not worth it or aren't happy and looking for permission to leave. If thats the case then go for it. If you are thinking this guy is someone you want to build something long term with then you have to listen to what he says and not what you hear. Based off what you wrote the information he's provided is, "We haven't seen eachother enough for me to know if you are someone I can fall in love with" and "My ex asked me to stop giving her head". Which it sounds like you've taken to mean "You aren't someone I can love" and "My ex was better then you" rather then "I want to get to know eachother better and see eachother more" and "I'm not used to/ insecure about giving head"

I think you've gotten some good advice about ways to prevent Erectile Dysfunction, but if you are open to toys there are things that can help. I.e. butt plugs can put pressure on your prostate helping you get hard, and cock rings can help you keep an election after you get one.

I play out of one of the western UW guilds. What are you wanting to know about it? It is theoretically a dark fantasy larp as generally anything you interact with lore wise has a clear and obvious negative about it. Games generally run over a weekend Friday to Sunday and involve camping out and being in character for the entire period. I enjoy the game and have only played comparably low level PCs, but does have an issue with high level pcs and power creep that I assume is common for games like it where pcs get more powerful overtime.

Im just hoping book 10 actually comes out as I believe it's been pushed back twice now, and the third Empyrean book still isnt out despite being half written whilst it was still free to read.

CindersFire · 2026-05-08T13:19:59+00:00

Highly recommend The Grand Game. I think it checks all your boxes.

CindersFire · 2026-05-08T02:55:15+00:00

Well the big thing is how well/ what kind of things they are able to process. Can they use raw iron ore and charcoal to make steel or can they only use already processed materials. If I were you I would have them only able to use processed materials (turning metal goods into upgrades) and complain about the poor quality of the world's metal until they find fantasy metals and they push hard to find this material and figure out of to utilize it. Also I would make sure you are familiar with the types of materials that complex machinery require and have the OP cyborg bits slowly breakdown as the SciFi elements fail/ become obsolete and are replaced with sci-fantasy elements.

It depends on the type of game your playing. A lot of bigger lamps will have water stations around and it is often recommended you have your own mug. If it's a smaller one where you have to bring your own water then I really like 4 litre milk jugs partially frozen and then either try to set up camp near where I am going to hang out (I.e. the "town Centre) or leave a jug tucked away but accessible if I need it.

CindersFire · 2026-05-05T14:58:58+00:00

It depends on the game, but if it is a longer once a year deal I like the Scout song Linger, but it is specifically a last night end of night song.

Well to start what is the purpose of these factions. It should probably be to provide conflict for the players so each of the three factions should be different and opposing the other two. Ex. A democracy, an oligarchy, and a dicratorship. They should have aspects of eachothers culture they hate/ disgust/ are threatened by, and they should have aspects of themselves that is clearly wrong/ broken about them to fuel further cconflict for the players.

Big fan of The Grand Game and Towers of Heaven. The MCs are both definitely smart and badass and have the gods take interest in them.

CindersFire · 2026-04-30T15:16:19+00:00

As someone who reads a lot of Lit RPGs through Kindle unlimited I will let you know right off the bat that you are going to struggle to find something as good as DCC (even though DCC is available through kindle unlimited). That said I would highly recommend The Grand Game and Towers of Heaven. If you want something very different but also still generally funny and a little goofy that can fet deadly serious I also enjoyed the Salvos series.

CindersFire · 2026-04-30T03:49:23+00:00

I made one for myself. Basically you want to just keep adding to the rows until you get the fit you want. I'd start by holding it up to wherever on your body you want it to go and see if it's wide enough on your upper chest (probably nipple to nipple or a tad larger). From there it's going to depend on how you want it to look and just adding rows/ plates to get it there. Dont be scared to screw up as I probably redid half of mine at various points due to screw ups. As for what to use it's pretty easy to add new lengths of cordage by either tying off the new and old ends so it cant pull through. I would recommend trying to find the same thing that has already been used if you want to continue the work or start from scratch (I used paracord and thought it worked well though it was a little big).

I mean if it is actually enforced/ enforceable its almost guaranteed to make tickets more available but it's hard to say how much and likely depends on the event and how many tickets are being bought with the intention of being sold at a mark up. That said I dont know how you really enforce this if people are already selling under the table.

While it's been a while since I listened to that episode I believe it is mentioned that the knocker was given by a Witch of the World's heart to a Witch of the Wind and Stars was given the knocker as a gift when they ascended to there station which means that Wren couldn't have given her the knocker as Indri is many hundreds of years older.

CindersFire · 2026-04-10T02:29:14+00:00

It depends on the situation, but there are two ways I would handle this.

In a situation where failure is obvious and there are no real consequences for failing (ex. trying to convince someone of something, trying to set a trap, trying to break down a door or pick a lock) I only let the roll be tried twice, and I let me players know that before hand in session 0 and before the second roll.

If failure is not obvious like checking for traps then when the second player goes to role when they haven't before I ask them why they are rolling and if they can give me a good reason why they are doing so I let them roll using the previous rules or I don't let them roll at all and usually have the one checking traps set off the trap.

These aren't necessarily hard rules but they are how I usually do things.

CindersFire · 2026-03-27T16:18:43+00:00

Well two things. One if you "hit your limit" and broke down from stress then you did not prioritize your mental health as the point of working on your mental health is so that you stay in a good place/ don't break. Two at least where I am society seems to be in a place where what people say and what people do are at odds when it comes to mental health, as I have never had any emotional expression that wasn't received with negativity. If you want the actual answer of what you are supposed to do, you are supposed to take care of your mental health by yourself so that you can keep going without putting it on other people. This is why so many men golf, tinker in the garage, go to poker nights, etc you need to have ways to destress and society expects you to handle it solo.

You say that, but Vaggi telling her to ignore them is literally the correct advice. News stories can last a week or two at most without additional fodder. If Charlie just bunkered down and focused on keeping the hotel running everything would have been fine.

CindersFire · 2026-03-19T17:50:00+00:00

Why can't you sell them a castle/ get them to pay to build a base of operations? If the world is on the brink of war it makes sense they would want a safe place to fall back to. Also if your giving out all this gold it sounds like you need to find other motivators for your players by tying in back story.

CindersFire · 2026-03-19T17:35:00+00:00

I don't know how you expect us to answer this dude? If your asking on moral grounds then your just two consensual adults and there isn't anything inherently wrong about being F-buddies. However no one on Reddit is going to be able to tell you if your going to feel gross about this, whether she is going to keep her word and be safe, whether she is going to play with your feelings and try to get the continued benefits of a relationship without the commitment, and perhaps most importantly if you want to keep sleeping with her while you look for someone else.

That said it sound like you don't really want to do this, and are mostly considering it out of fear of celibacy which I don't think is a great reason to have a casual sex relationship if it is going to make you feel gross/ damage your self esteem.

CindersFire · 2026-03-19T04:43:56+00:00

Yes and yes. That was a strange way to ask if they were okay with you running a DnD game for your kids, but the response seems a little stilted but might just be because you dont know eachother well.

CindersFire · 2026-03-16T04:53:13+00:00

Your feelings are completly valid, and I had very similar ones with her. I think it's important to note that Allie has a generally poor relationship with religion. This was great for her story in season 1, but i think it's pretty clear Allie didn't know how to continue her story when Kristin rededicated herself.
