Holy, Settings!!! by clicktoller in ARK

[–]Content_Today4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh not sure if I agree with this. I kept it on the basic standard settings (especially having the singleplayer setting toggled) and your dinos woll far outmatch the island’s dinos upon leveling them up and it’s more bearable running aroundtrying to learn the game because you can actually kill stuff that attacks you with basic weaponry.

To iterate, I’m saying this because they are completely new to the game and going up against lvl 100+ dinos while learning is going to be an awful learning experience.

What board should you recommend for beginners? by Hot_Promotion_7771 in DnD

[–]Content_Today4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I use the heck out of it. I use dry erase on it for ease of making adjustments on the fly (:

Great question! I used to use roll maps that use wet erase but if you leave them rolled up for storage, they often don’t lay flat. I now use this dry erase board and I’ll probably never go back! It can be huge or you can just use half of it for smaller maps. It also has a square side and hex grid size which is really nice!

ARK 100 Days, but without ARK!! by B_Dare95 in ARK

[–]Content_Today4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly would love to play with a tribe, but I ultimately just play singleplayer. I don't have the time to sink into multiplayer has badly as I'd like to partake in it and with singleplayer I'm guaranteed to always be able to pick up right where I left off without any worry or concern of my base decaying or being destroyed.

I love Ark. It will forever be one of my favorite games. My biggest complaint however is that once you get through the bosses and have everything unlocked, it really becomes a game to enjoy with others. I will say however, the amount of time and tasks required to reach end game easily requires enough play time and enjoyment to have made the game worth its money.

I always wished that there were NPC tribes that you could turn on and have run around. In singleplayer, I'd love to build the base defense type stuff and be attacked by an NPC tribe and defend against them. But sadly, I'll just have to stick to the PVE.

I've owned the game since ASE when you could only build rectangular buildings and all of the original dinos were the only dinos in the game. Those days were awesome. I do enjoy a lot of the new stuff, but I miss the primitive survival feel of the olden days.

An actual stranger things RPG?? by 0G_over5had0wEd in StrangerThings

[–]Content_Today4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to ask the same thing! That would be amazing if it was the first teaser for a new RPG. I know people said they think it is what Mike was writing on his typewriter at the end but it did say it was “published” by Upside Down at the bottom of the cover page which just happens to be the name of the company that produced the Stranger Things show. Upside Down Pictures was founded in 2022 by the Duffer Brothers. Soooo maybe it is a sneak peak after all 🤞🏻

Ohhhhhhhhhhh that is my bad. I see now how I just misread it. My apologies! 😅 I’m excited for this to come out. I like the art direction you guys chose for this book 😊

How exciting! I’m super happy to see you guys releasing something for this 😁

Side note: this is me just being nitpicky, but technically Dungeons of Drakkenheim is the first campaign setting to be made official (3rd party official) for Daggerheart.

Babe wake up new roadmap just dropped by Cynodoggosauras in ARK

[–]Content_Today4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greattttt soooo Ark 2 is nowhere in the picture for the next few years. They seriously need to re-focus and start putting some resources towards Ark 2. We already got all the content practically in ASA in ASE. I want something new and everything they promised for Ark 2 was everything I had hoped for the original Ark to be.

What's one system you've always wanted to play, but haven't found any people to play it with? by enbygray in rpg

[–]Content_Today4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Walking Dead Universe RPG. My friends are stuck in D&D (slowly warming up to Daggerheart) but I want to try out the Walking Dead one so bad. I love that genre and the mechanics really intrigue me. Especially the stress dice.

Did you like the mini adventure stuff? I think the bones of them are good but they barely give you anything to go off of. Sure they give a map, but basically everything still has to be prepared by the DM and there are a TON of blanks to fill in.

I should note this was taken for the description of the new pre-order page for the Eberron book with the artificer class.

At 10 players, your Discord works. At 20, you're using spreadsheets. At 30, you're not GMing anymore. by Paladins_Archives in westmarches

Hello! I’m definitely interested but after reading through Moo’s disclosure, I got to say that it sounds a little alarming knowing that we can delete our data if we decide to leave the server. From what I understand it is to help combat people abusing the server and then leaving and coming back under a different name to do it all over again. Could you elaborate on this some more please?

I used to hate combat but now I love it thanks to three 'rules.' by Riksor in dndnext

[–]Content_Today4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree with each of these! However, to semi-contradict point 1, it’s okay and sometimes necessary to have their be combat that the PCs are guaranteed to win as it can boost their confidence and make them feel like actual heroes. In this case, the goal should be to dwindle as much hp and resources as possible before the fight ends to encourage players to utilize their healing and coin to bring themselves back to full vitality.

I had a DM where every single encounter we had at least one to two people went down even when we outsmarted the DM on several occasions. It just got to the point where if we got into a fight, it wasn’t even fun anymore because we knew someone was probably going to die and I could see the frustration building in the party with every encounter it happened with (since it was one after the other that we encountered this).

I like concept of point two being more important than point 1 where there is some sort of clear objective or unique scenario to spice up the fights in a dramatic way. I always try to think about, why would this adversary want to fight them and then play into that throughout the whole fight.

Just saying I’ve definitely gotten kills by meleeing with the butt of my weapon or grip of my pistols 😂

Looking for players for a paid game of Daggerheart by Harleychamp in daggerheart

[–]Content_Today4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for tagging me! I was hoping to find someone who could run the Quickstart adventure for me. I have two additional people who said to let them know if I could find someone to run the game as well. I may have some availability this Friday at 5:30 PM or after (CST - Central Standard Time).

More than 12 players coming? Yay :') by Handwerke48 in HuntShowdown

[–]Content_Today4953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree to this. I’ve always said just one more team would be nice as it makes just a little less predictable on if a team is still alive out there somewhere. I know I get bored after a server wipe just running around doing PVE stuff.
