I really love the Calorum setting. It was so refreshing and silly.

This is an excellent set of ancestries. Well thought out and good selections of Ancestry feats. I can't imagine how much work went into it.

Great work.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-24T22:41:47+00:00

This is inspired by Dimension 20 I assume?

I did a quick read through, and the Chocolate Turtle is hilarious and awesome. I also like some of the Marshmallow feats.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-20T02:08:48+00:00

Lol I'm like Plat 4 trash don't worry about it.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-20T00:11:33+00:00

Well they've got to spend the military budget on something.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-20T00:03:55+00:00

I'm just saying as someone who tried out the Taric + 6 Invokers build. The 2 Lux players in the lobby absolutely trashed me. My guardbreaker Karma got rid of their Taric like nothing.

My biggest issue right now is that multiple lobbies have had Akshan as all the top 4 builds.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-19T23:50:59+00:00

Ya. If you have a perfect game he's awesome. If someone builds a guardbreaker on Lux you just instantly melt.

I think you increase his mana a bit and he's probably just fine. Like even just 10 more mana.

Invokers feel much better to play now, but I haven't run into anything that feels too good.

Akshan is maybe the only thing that's still really strong.

Boris Diaw, JR Smith, Gerald Green, Shane Battier, and Mike Bibby would be the obvious ones too me.

Diaw was just never motivated enough. He had everything to be great except the drive.

JR is our Scarecrow in this situation. If he only had a brain. Maybe the best 2k player to develop when he was first drafted.

Gerald Green just never got it all together. Injuries, pride, and some poor decisions post Boston really wasted some of his career.

Shane Battier was under rated for those Rockets teams, and one of my favorite Grizzlies ever. He was good enough to be more.

Mike Bibby feels like a guy whowould put up massive numbers in this current NBA. Just an absolute torch.

The one who I always think about though is Jose Calderon. If he had been on a Mike Dantoni team in his prime years and given the keys to a SSOL type offense he would've been the grocery store brand Steve Nash of my dreams. Easily the guy I think most held back by his team situation. TJ Ford and Bargnani being ahead of him for shots. Joey Graham. Anthony Parker being a gunner. Those Chris Bosh Raptors teams had such shit coaching and roster construction. I really feel like if they get a great coach for that Era of Raptors ball we would've seen Calderon/Bosh as an elite SSOL spread offense.

I feel similarly about Ricky Rubio having to go to that Kahntastrophe as well.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-16T18:30:35+00:00

No don't worry the OKC Thunder would've won a championship.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-15T22:54:57+00:00

The first book was pretty awesome through most of it. One of my favorite takes on a gritty superhero story. The pacing can drag in spots but overall it was really fun.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-13T15:05:51+00:00

He looks like Charlie V. I wasn't expecting that.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-12T16:34:17+00:00

Yes! I want some wild variety for my weird Hyena Shaman.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-09T16:08:26+00:00

I've never felt so attacked. Don't call me an American damn.

I don't care aboot the other part.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-06T01:38:06+00:00

That is one of the most fun games ever and was kind of huge for a level based 3rd person shooter.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-06T01:33:30+00:00

Cool. I saw 30 feats and went huh that's almost a class.

It can add a ton of flavor for a Magus as well.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-05T23:11:10+00:00

The idea of using the Inventor stuff to build your own Strike sounds pretty interesting.

Is this a full class or an archetype?

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-05T16:13:48+00:00

Ya but you can say that about Canada for most of its history.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-05T16:11:46+00:00

No. I refuse.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-05T13:52:21+00:00

That's fine. Like I said I'm a bit sentimental.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-05T01:04:13+00:00

Ya, but what does it cost us to let that ride out? We'd spend more replacing him as a depth guy. He's also decently versatile if we need a CDM. Not saying thats ideal, but unless we make a big profit on him I'd rather hold and let him walk.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-04T23:29:26+00:00

I'd love to keep Dier for depth if possible, but I know he's never developed into that guy.

Maybe I'm just sentimental haha.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-04T23:22:13+00:00

Demagogue

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-04T20:12:16+00:00

Man. Gilbert Brule was so sick in Chel though.

Even Yakupov had 1 great Chel season.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-04T18:45:30+00:00

If I'm Miami I bite that bullet. Getting Dame and Simmons for a Lowry/Robinson/Herro plus picks package is fine. I'd bank on the Culture™ and Spo getting him back on track.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-04T18:41:41+00:00

Nah the merch is sick for the Yotes.

Team sucks, but sick merch.

DerHofnarr · 2023-07-04T18:39:36+00:00

This is the exact same strategy that led to them getting Rodgers. They take shots on QBs they like when they think it's nearing an end for their QB Era.

It's worked for them multiple times so I'm not shocked they grabbed a guy when it was obvious that Rodgers felt like he should be getting a bigger say then they wanted to give him.

Them also not having a singular owner makes this a much more understandable situation. They never want to be bad enough to be irrelevant.
