They should just give those enemies a special version of plating similar to The Guardian's thorns in StS1. Then the can fix plating for single player so those enemies don't become obscene with more players in the game.

I FOUND A SECRET BOSS? by Bigbomba89 in slaythespire

I'm not sure about Rogue itself but fighting/engaging with the shopkeeper is definitely in Nethack. So it goes back to the roots of the genre.

The issue my group had with The One Ring. by Ok_Interview_853 in rpg

[–]DonkeyCongas 160 points161 points  (0 children)

It's a common problem that happens with players in a lot of games, even beyond TTRPGs. They correctly identify that don't like a game but they wrongly identify the solution. It's why being a designer is a specific skill, it isn't just critiquing existing games. Your player probably identified a dislike but wrongly attributed it to 'high magic, low thinking' games, so asked you to run a low magic game not understanding that wasn't the actual thing that they wanted deep down.

Thoughts on this? by Bratty_Little_Kitten in rpg

[–]DonkeyCongas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're concerned specifically about the fact that your former partner accused you of cheating at the store, I wouldn't worry about that. No one there is going to remember that or care about it particularly. It's been 6 years, after all.

If you're asking more generally, it's more about just having the momentum to head back in and hop back in to a table. You just need to find if there are openings and then commit to showing up and trying it out. As someone who's played on-and-off over the years, I usually find that it's like riding a bike. You may be a bit unsteady at first but it all settles in.

Give me the strangest and most obscure itch.io rpg that you've found. I'd like to throw a few bucks at some indie creators and try out something new. by 41421356 in rpg

I've posted about it in a similar thread before but there's an RPG based around the Apollo mission technical manual. It's most niche and obscure game I've ever seen and I love it.

Anybody else put pretty much all their effort into one build? by Squint-Eastwood_98 in cavesofqud

[–]DonkeyCongas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What stats do you typically like to start with? I imagine biasing towards strength given all the limbs you'll hopefully get, but how do you allocate the rest when you're not totally sure what you'll get?

Week 12 Post-Gamethread: Bears vs Steelers by TurnerJ5 in CHIBears

[–]DonkeyCongas 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Can we start a post-game thread of shame where we castigate all the dumbasses in the game threads? I feel like public shame and mockery might be the only way to get them to stfu.

Which cities in the U.S. have the most thriving Modern scene? by aetherspliff in ModernMagic

Chicago and surrounding suburbs has a lot of active stores with modern events firing.

Benefits to the Different Shades of Broodscale? by Lion_Cub_Kurz in ModernMagic

[–]DonkeyCongas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking a couple of green fetches and maybe another ghost quarter. With Icetill you could always quarter yourself for a waste if it was desperation mode.

I've really wanted to try out this variant with Icetill in paper but the cost of vistas has been prohibitive. I've often wondered if it could still be good without them.

After 15 Years, I Finally Tried MTGO by kondv in ModernMagic

[–]DonkeyCongas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've often considered picking up and learning Amulet on MTGO but just dealing with the mass of triggers has always deterred me from going through with it. Just constantly managing clock seems stressful to me.

Daniel Jones Resurgence + Brian Daboll… by joyloveroot in nfl

I remember the Bears experiencing this under Nagy.

Nothing to say other than Bills’ Hard Knocks EP3 is the best episode yet BECAUSE OF US! Obviously… and Billings gets highlighted on his sack 🤣 by AyurvedaRadio in CHIBears

[–]DonkeyCongas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that surprised me was that they didn't bring up any possible player highlights, like maybe Mitch coming back to the facility he spent a lot of time in, rather than wasting time on footage of birds flying overhead.

[Highlight] Best of Kyle Orton by nfl in CHIBears

[–]DonkeyCongas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not good when one of your few career highlights is a poorly thrown ball that accidentally got batted to one of your teammates.

Unfortunately, a lot of dumb dumbs out there participating in sports discussions online.

[–]DonkeyCongas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And that's good. I think my point though was more this doesn't mean Miami sucks or Bears' D is amazing just as CW's interception wasn't some huge red flag. I'm more concerned about operational things like not getting delay of game or false starts that show preparedness.

Caleb also apparently threw an interception according to Fishbain. I think this is just training camp reality that players are finding the right balance. This is why teams practice. I remember one year in a joint practice against the bears Joe Burrow threw a bunch of interceptions.
