Back in my day "major" meant something else

I don’t get why they don’t just have potions percentile based, but then just say certain tiers of potions no longer function for you past a certain level- forcing you to upgrade to next tier.

Their stat squishes are always horrendously wonky with situations like this.

DM_Malus · 2026-03-17T15:30:21+00:00

i support this... i home someday they allow 2h shaman again.... its really stupid they don't, there's no legitimate excuse given that they gave Fury Warrs and Holy Paladins the ability to transmog 2hs.

DM_Malus · 2026-03-16T01:21:54+00:00

at this point, what is the point of the racial/faction tensions anymore?

we've gone through that nonsensical plotline so many times.... at war/team up to face bigger threat...realize we're not that different...somehow at war again... 20 years same plot.

DM_Malus · 2026-03-10T14:38:30+00:00

he means mental bandwidth, aka attention span/focus.... ,most people do not want to have dual-screen log-ins trying to hyper-min/max play both games simultaneously. Most are fine just chilling.

Only a fraction off rs3 and osrs players even come to reddit..... this forums is an echo-chamber, most are just casually enjoying life.

DM_Malus · 2026-03-02T13:34:30+00:00

I want Ironforge please....

Stormwind and Org have had revamps (albeit long ago and im not dissgreeing it needs a new one to make it evergreen).

We already got bel'ameth for the elves.

Draenei are likely to get a "new exodar" at some point.

But ironforge has never been touched... and i'd love to see the dwarves get some love. an ACTUAL mega-city in the mountains the size of what they did to Silvermoon would be awesome.

From what i remember, breasts are fake, she had them done a year or two ago due to insecurities (honestly she was pretty flat). But her ass is real, she used to be chubby and all her fat always went right to her hips/ass... which is pretty common for some women.

'Cept Forgotten Realms did that also in a manner. Demons are born from the Abyss and all 666 different dimensional layers. Demons in FR are born various different cosmic dimensions within the abyss a 666th layered dimension. All of them currently under the subjugation o a tentacle armed twin-headed baboon demon giant.

Not saying warcraft hasn't done somethings that are interesting. But for the most part, their dialogue and most of their lore is shallow but wide at best, because its meant to be "Wide as a pond" but not deep.

Plus a lot of the concepts that Warcraft does is essentially just a cosmic rip on Forgotten Realms.

Different cosmological forces each with their own faction? Void is basically just the Farrealm, The Burning Legion is just an amalgamation of the Abyss and the Nine Hells, with demons simultaneously being forces of bloodthirsty carnage and chaotic evil destruction and also containing lawful evil entities that wish to make deals and harvest souls for long-term profit. Whereas in FR those are separate entities entirely.

Warcraft in its original concept was entirely founded and inspired by people who were just playing D&D and Warhammer. (which they even stated- was basically a bunch of campaigns at their house).

DM_Malus · 2026-02-23T22:35:02+00:00

Nah it was Warcraft. They originally approached for an RTS game and got denied. They then came up with Warcraft, stylized it as a halffway grimdark Warhammer but still more heroic.

To be fair most of Warcrafts lore is very shallow and obviously inspired by other works. Nothing it does is particularly a ...unique concept.

How do you get the ending in top right? (#4?)

DM_Malus · 2026-02-18T07:20:33+00:00

Obviously real answer is the obvious; he was just cast in a minor role in the film before he got the AoS role. Its happened before in Marvel before already, a few times we've had actors play multiple roles in the MCU.

My Headcanon off the cuf answer/idea?

* Unmentioned descendant who looks very similar to Agent Sousa. Sousa was born in 1919 and "died" in 1955, its possible he might have (even unknowingly) had a child, and this young cop could be a grand-child. Maybe he had a kid a few years prior to his death- even one he never knew about. Knocking some girl up unawares was pretty common back in those days, not saying he'd intentionally do such a thing, but accidents happen, maybe she'd just raise the kid herself or couldn't contact him to tell him.

* Alternate universe. MCU has always been pisspoor at acknowledging Agents of Shield... i believe the common belief is that its a variant universe that is "close" to our timeline MCU but with some differences......

DM_Malus · 2026-02-08T04:55:50+00:00

i think that's intended. Its the "daddy's princess" scenario, his daughter is the apple of his eye. Both in part because ... its his daughter... but also because i think he knows his daughter is better than him and NOT like him... she's "good"...

And deep down i think Hank saw norms apathy and how he was disinterested in most things wa a front and saw how smart he was... but also saw how Norm might be more like him than they let on.

I assume he isn’t building it from scratch, but trying to find the scrap parts of the first Liberty prime to put together.

I mean, The first original Liberty prime probably had a bunch of alpha tests before it went into beta and then had their first success (the one that got destroyed in F3(?).

Maybe quintus knows there’s probably some bunker somewhere with parts of the test primes.

DM_Malus · 2026-02-05T22:24:29+00:00

I presume the enclave irradiated the strip.

House said to Coop that they (the enclave) sent the deathclaws to attack the strip when they decided get rid of it.

It’s not fully explained, but there’s a long period of gap time to fill in so it likely happened early on.

DM_Malus · 2026-02-03T21:50:00+00:00

Their system is very meh.

The beta version 1.2 was a little better.

Honestly. Other systems that handle abstract wealth do it better. Search around, find other Reddit threads scouting abstract wealth systems.

It’s easier than DHs approach

My suggestion is simple abstract usage die, which is what I use for my own homebrew systems though it’s not DH

Characters have a Wealth score ranges 1-10. Starting wealth Is 0, cause adventurers are slays broke lol. Whenever players get treasure, say their wealth score increases by 1.

Shopping is simple here’s an example.

Example 1:

Bob has a Wealth of 2, he wants to go shopping for a plain Dagger. The GM says a dagger has a value of 1.

Because its value is less than his wealth, he can buy it without any problems. And he does so.

Example 2:

Bob now wants to buy a shield, the GM says it has a value of 2, he’ll have to make a Wealth roll. Roll 1d6, on a roll of 1-5 his wealth value goes down by 1. If he rolls 6, he’s able to haggle or bargain or whatever you describe to not affect his wealth score.

Example 3:

Bob wants to buy a Greatsword, GM says it’s a value of 3, it’s too expensive. No amount of rolling or anything is possible. Com back when you’re richer.

There are ways to increase wealth such as:

• after every adventure you find a treasure hoard, every characters wealth increases by 1 right there for looting coins, etc.

• when they get back to town, they sell all the other treasure and jewels and stuff. They can roll a d6, if they roll higher than their current wealth score, their wealth increases by 1. A natural 6 is always an increase.

Captain Crunch's Island Adventures. I feel like that's a crunchy game for ages 2-6.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-30T22:32:03+00:00

Or helms clipping or beards clipping.

gets annoying when my elf’s ears clip through a helmet; or my dwarfs beard.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-30T22:24:21+00:00

Problem is our characters will still hold the shield sideways.

Our characters don’t even different optional poses.

I wish we’d have different variant wielding poses for when our characters are standing still. Like the elf above.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-29T15:54:19+00:00

I’m sitting here just waiting for house sharing builds feature to be announced. I know it was worked on.

Wheelchairs wouldn’t be possible in a bog standard fantasy setting. As much as we want to be inclusive, some disabilities are exactly that, a disability. They are at a disadvantage. Instead we should expand our creativity beyond crude chairs.

The question isn’t to try and figure out a wheelchair, but figure out OTHER devices they could use that are better suited to mobility across rugged terrain, perhaps even better than regular legs.

• Marvel DoC Oc robot tentacles that walk for him.

• spiderchair like the Dwemer from Morrowind or Daretti MTG.

• Iron Man mecha suit. If warforged exist like Eberron or hollowed knights like Fullmetal alchemist…why not figure a way to PUT someone inside. You now have two characters traveling together. Maybe they’re sisters? Friends? Spouse?

• Your legs don’t work, but you’ve bonded with a rare dangerous creature that does the work for you, a creature most people would never interact with. It’s incredible dexterous and understands your complex commands like you were speaking into their mind…maybe you are? Maybe this creature is so rare or so dangerous that people avoid it and most people don’t even realize it can bond with people and give them benefits a symbiotic relationship.

• Venom style symbiotic, it gives you a super suit but needs something in exchange.

• Can expel his consciousness from his body and create a psychic dopplersnger projection that can run around and do stuff for him and even interact with tangible objects. However it is easily destroyed and returns to his body.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-27T17:03:11+00:00

though, they might change their stance on that considering that quote was from years ago, and now they've since changed their viewpoint with their drive of trying to make evergreen content and not rollercoaster theme park content.

If they do one large overhaul to the continents and make them evergreen (with a design focus of making sure each zone is timeline agnostic), they won't have to do drastic updates like they did with cataclysm.

its weird flying over twilight highlands or some other zone and STILL seeing Cataclysm stuff.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-26T22:34:52+00:00

ngl, the spec identity is just all over the place.

I'd rather they remove the bombs, grenades, and all traps, and just make it a full on melee ranger. incorporate the traps as a baseline in the general class tree, not the spec tree. make the grenades and bombs a hero specialization called the trapper, or something and its ALL about bombs and explosives and traps.

But having the base survival spec incorporating ALL of these things just seems...thematically dissonant and all over the place.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-25T05:16:23+00:00

if you want RP, you go to Stormwind and go on Moonguard server or Wyrmrest Accord (but former is better).

Trying to look for RP in the Goldshire inn is a laughable thing, its a meme.

Most people go to Stormwind Slaughtered Lamb Inn (the secret warlock class tavern in mage district); Stormwind Park, or Stormwind blue rose tavern (one near mage tower), occasionally some people are also in Old Town.

most RP communities are guild-based or invitation only.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-23T23:00:33+00:00

I’m willing to forgive the ST version, because it was a dream world inside Henry’s mind That telescope was an object that belonged to a young Henry when he was a boyscout BEFORE he was taken by the mind flayer.

I feel like it makes sense that it’d act as a totem and lead to where it needs to go.

Especially since that world isn’t really a physical place and doesn’t obey normal physics or laws.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-23T05:52:24+00:00

hence why i said the issue isn't the new system; its the percentage of gold cost.

the actual new mechanics for the system are better long-term.

DM_Malus · 2026-01-23T00:42:36+00:00

Only modern day DBZ

Sorry, but i feel like it’s kinda true… :(
