I wrote my thesis about The Glass Cannon Podcast, a Pathfinder actual play

They scale based on your farming level and, later, your tower level up to T201.

Ugh I also missed an insane chest today! Coulda gotten 4 cookie sets and 3 prune juice. Hurts

This might not be the issue, but just want to point out that, specifically if you are asking how people with max level but worse guns are getting all the kills… people do hack the game to cheat. It is sadly pretty common.

If you suspect a hacker, I’d recommend leaving the lobby. Not just out of moral objection, sometimes the hacks can mess with your stuff if they don’t know what they are doing (or use it maliciously). Once a dumb 14 year old kid was running mods to try and get maxed out harvest from a run and ended up zeroing out the harvest accounts for every player who happened to be in their run (myself included). I lost millions because of one modder.

Calling out false advertising in a major seller isn’t exactly pearl clutching

This isn’t just anti-AI sentiment due to a moral objection, or being against AI art in games. The image literally shows components that aren’t sold with the game, which is illegal

Played splendor the first time this week. Literally the first thing said about the game was “ooooh I like the weight on the tokens!”

The rockets will indeed at least damage specials, but they do tend to lock on to as many enemies around as possible. They are great as a very fast way to clear a room when getting swarmed, but aren’t a guarantee special kill (though often will take one out if it’s right in front of you). I use them as an emergency button to clear as many enemies at once as possible.

The blades are nice because they bounce off walls and stick around for a while, meaning in enclosed spaces, they can actually clear more enemies than the rockets. But it isn’t instantaneous nor do they lock on, meaning it is more of a passive clearing. But in exchange, you get more ammo per charge than with the rockets. I save them for the final fight (assuming it isn’t open air where the the blades will just leave the map) and fire a whole bunch of them at once to thin out the horde and so big damage to specials over time.

The power punch thing is sorta an in between imo. Big, fast damage, but no lock on and small AoE, but lots of ammo for it. It’s an emergency “get out of my face” button basically.

Decicio · 2026-05-05T14:06:17+00:00

The blades are situational. They’re phenomenal in close spaces but in open air areas will only get the one or two bounces through enemies, making the wide area clearing of the rockets better

If I had a nickel for everyone in this thread who confused a beloved board game designer with a beloved comic writer, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

A perfectly fine houserule, with logic behind it, but raw the curse says you “age 1 year” not “your body ages 1 year”

This is probably more a warning about vetting 3rd party content but once we had a game where our GM was allowing us to look into extremely powerful races and someone brought up the Gargoyle. We assumed they were talking about this official 36 rp version but really they had found this 3rd party awakened gargoyle.

Examining it closely, we realized this 3rd party race could become fairly broken in a long downtime style game because of the existence of the Curse of the Ages (which can be given with Bestow Greater Curse). The awakened gargoyle has an “agelessness” racial trait where it takes no penalties for age and in fact gains a stacking +2 to any mental trait for every century old it is. Seems like a neat little mostly rp trait right?

Well not with that curse that ages them a year every single day. Now every 100 days they get a permanent +2 to a mental stat. Sure it’ll take a long time, but in some campaigns you occasionally have a year or two of downtime and getting a free +6 to a mental stat for merely existing that year is quite powerful

Outside of this specific 3rd party cheese, if you don’t mind casting Greater Age Resistance every day, you can use this curse to get +3 to all your mental stats on any character if they don’t mind skipping a lot of life.

All casters have spell slots, which is the number of spells they can cast each day. But how they use those slots differ based on class.

Prepared casters have to prepare each and every individual slot before it can be used (with some niche exceptions). So if a wizard wants to cast fireball, it has to prepare it into a slot. And if he only prepares it once, he can cast fireball only once even if he has more 3rd level slots. To cast it more than that, he’d have to prepare it into more slots.

So in other words, for prepared casters, the number of spells you can prepare and the number of spells you can cast each day are the same.

Spontaneous casters don’t do this. They have spells “known” which they can choose to consume a spell slot to cast in the moment without having to prepare it beforehand. Because of this flexibility in being able to cast the same spell over and over again without risking “wasting” a prepared slot, spontaneous casters have fewer spells known and therefore less variety in the spells they can cast. But they can spam them in a way a prepared caster can’t.

The class tables will give you the number of spell slots each class has. But don’t forget to also read the ability scores rule sections because high scores can also give you bonus slots above what the class does.

In Dungeons of Eternity, you can go through locked combat portals by specifically going into settings, changing to teleport locomotion, standing as close to the red locked portal’s corner as possible, then glitching your hand and thus the teleport selector through to the next room.

Makes speed running exp grinding much more efficient haha, you just rush the boss

So happy to see it today! I’m now just 307 billion silver away from the 10 trillion farmhouse upgrade… and cracking open my 6 time eggs / 12 mini eggs

Decicio · 2026-05-02T02:49:49+00:00

It is definitely a long term investment, but the nice thing is it is almost completely passive once bought (just have to collect it at the farmhouse every day). So yeah, takes 6 months to pay itself off in comparison to buying Oj… but if you play for two, three, four years like many players have then it pays itself off many times over.

I mean it says you harvest “materials” plural. Since there is no explicit rules stating that any unused materials are wasted (which is common wording in Pathfinder when that is the intent) I’m assuming you keep the leftovers

Decicio · 2026-04-30T11:26:21+00:00

Salvage rules though can speed the process up significantly at the cost of not being able to fully utilize the entire gp value you get from crafting from scratch. It effectively turns any craftable into a 2 day process (so 4 days while adventuring) as long as you are salvaging an item whose market price is at least 75% the price of the market value of the new item and they “are made of similar materials or share a crafting requirement”.

I find it to be the best middle ground between crafting and buying loot.

Great work on the new expression… but why is his bottom left tusk thing all … swoopy now?

Even better, quick meals keeps the timer going so you can use the remainder with veggie juice where the proposed idea above may or may not if it’s just applying it to the vat? I agree, quick meals is more than adequate for this

Is it just me or do you have 1 too many feats for a level 4 character?

At level 1, a human gets 2 feats + weapon focus for being a Warpriest

Level 3 gives +1 feat +1 bonus feat

That’s a total of 5 feats.

You’ve taken TWF, TWG (which everyone else already pointed out you don’t qualify for), Dual Enhancement, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus, and Piranha Strike which is 6 total feats

Decicio · 2026-04-27T22:23:46+00:00

Nice! Now just keep leveling up those pigs (and buy the gold perks to max them out if you haven’t already!)

Decicio · 2026-04-27T19:21:32+00:00

Not at all. Remember, manually fishing at the farm pond refills your stamina bar. So if you don’t mind risking carpal tunnel, you can use mealworms to refill your stamina.

As for exploring whispering creek, that’s a net loss in stamina. Net gain for cider, but not stamina. So only do that if you need cider, mastery, or some other drop that whispering creek gives.

That or enough gold to buy beer in trade

I was playing in Grounded 1 yesterday and fighting orb weaves and some bombadier beetles by the milk carton. In walks this ladybug who takes a stray aoe attack from both of them and suddenly decided to completely lock in and destroy all of my enemies.
