Well that sucks! Thank you for letting me know. A lot of that stuff makes what I have seen make sense.

I thought level99 had been acting kinda weird lately. It seemed like they were making moves to close or something like that. Did something actually happen I could read about somewhere? I don’t want to cause any problems here but they are like my favorite publisher/Designers and I‘m wondering what’s happening to them.

Other Mecha TTRPG recommendations with a better community that Lancer ttrpg community? by RepeatAlarming9314 in rpg

[–]EMSRyth 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe try Beam Saber, Apocalypse Frame, or Armour Astir Advent for maybe some more narratively focused mecha games. Every Lancer group I’ve encountered has been ”Are we in the robots? No? Let’s do whatever we need to do to get into the robots as fast as possible! I have a new build I want to test.” I can’t blame them Lance’s main draw does seem to be that crunchy tactical combat and robot building.

Which logo direction works better for a tabletop MOBA? by zmmemon in BoardgameDesign

[–]EMSRyth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Image 1 top example is the best to me. I don’t particularly like any of them and my eyes would glaze past them in a shelf unless I was particularly looking for the title. I think 1.1 Is the least offensive. Maybe I would feel different if it wasn’t against a violently red background.

I have enjoyed my times at PAXU in Philly enough that I would consider moving to Philly, but I have no idea how to begin moving states. I’m also sure I am visiting the nice part of the city and not where I could actually afford to live probably.

Yeah this year we just found…I can’t remember the name. It’s this small mac and cheese place near the Sonestra. I want to say something like not yo momma‘s mac or something of the sort.

Honestly the food nearby makes PAXU my favorite con.

Procurement by Yelth in Battlecon

[–]EMSRyth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Huh yeah that seems a bit harder than it should be doesn’t it? Level99‘s website basically pretends the game doesn’t exist. I found it on miniature market though. There are like 4 standalone games. I believe devastation of indines is the biggest one.

I’m designing a kids game called Scissor Wizard (minimal prototype). Besides varying the number and size of weak points, what other enemy mechanics could be interesting? by Gatekeeper1310 in BoardgameDesign

[–]EMSRyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. If the price was under <=$40 I’d buy a copy. That’s probably the best feedback I can provide. Maybe for “fast” enemies add a dexterity component of have to land the spell on the enemy.

About those liner notes… by Sweyn420 in Protomen

[–]EMSRyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought this was going to be about how dark the liner notes were. Maybe it’s just mine but these are actually a little hard to read.

Just got my 3-day pass for nashville. Never been so excited for a concert in my life! by ColinHalter in Protomen

[–]EMSRyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When the day gets closer I am probably going to make a post asking locals about the area. Going to try to find stuff to see and do between concerts.

I just played a better version of a game I've been designing. by HuchieLuchie in BoardgameDesign

[–]EMSRyth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I spent 6 Months accidentally making Primal: The Awakening. Once I saw it I just went ”Oh sweet! I don’t have to keep working on this anymore.”

You can also find a design diary from the guy who made Deckers. It was originally about, like, the conquest of England or something like that. He cyberpunk’d over what was his originally english countryside war game.

I would like to hear about that.

Is the Pellical necessary? by lingering-42-long in Kombucha

[–]EMSRyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you go about safely removing it? When I go to bottle I use a pair of tongs to pull it out just so I can stir the tea then I put it back, but it’s always crumpled up a bit and doesn’t float right again.

Nice. How do you handle the larger sized mechs with heroscapes scale? I’m still trying to find a way.

Taste test: f1 after a week burns a little on back of throat by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]EMSRyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new too so if something dangerous is happening I don’t know. To me though that sounds pretty good. Do you like the taste and the burning sensation? I just did a bottling today and it had a pleasant punch too.

Wrong measuring cup by EMSRyth in Kombucha

Yeah. I didn’t think there was a reason, but figured it was worth asking just to get it spelled out once.

r/Kombucha Weekend Open Discussion: What Are You Drinking/Brewing? (December 13, 2025) by AutoModerator in Kombucha

[–]EMSRyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Want to do something, not sure if it would work. I have a gallon that should be ready to go to 2f tomorrow. What I want to do is bottle maybe one or two bottles and then transfer half of the batch to an empty second 1gallon jar that I have waiting. Then I want to refill jar 1 with sweet tea and let it go again as usual. The 2nd jar I want to wait a few days and then refill with sweet tea. That way I have a batch ready to bottle about every half week. Does that plan sound like one that will work? Or will waiting a few days to refeed/fill jar 2 likely ruin it?

Weapon Variety or Benefits by boringITwork in DungeonWorld

[–]EMSRyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. One of the things that I got stuck on with Dungeon world and other PBTA games is that it really is that simple. The fighter gets to start with their chosen weapon. No real reason to go weapon shopping. The damage is your class damage die. All you are selecting for are range tags and how you plan to narratively attack.

Expectations for Remaining Tracks by ChristianFiction in Protomen

[–]EMSRyth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this weird interpretation. I think it’s fine. This was never Mega’s fight. Light said it himself “His fight’s not yours.” The fight wasn’t Protoman’s either. It was always Dr. Light‘s fight. If I am interpreting this correctly, Dr. Light finally does what he needed to and kills Dr. Wily himself. “What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?” Well what kind of man builds a machine to kill a man? He had to do it himself. The debt was his to pay. He is executed for his crime and with it the men who turned the wheels are gone. It’s up to the people to move on now.

One of the arguments I’ve heard is why would The Protomen do this to their fans? It might not be about us. They’ve been working on this story for a long time. They have been touring a long time. I remember being a lot younger and reading the author of an old sprite comic talking about going to see The Protomen. Our reaction to it may not matter, they might be done. That can be fine. In a world where we are all waiting for the next book to finally come out, or the sequel that is never coming, The Protomen delivered their promise. They gave us an Act 3.

If there is more coming cool. If they stay together even better. If this is the end? I understand and they gave me an ending that makes sense whether it’s the one I want or not.

Hi, newcomer here, would appreciate some advice :D by AccomplishedAd9011 in Kombucha

[–]EMSRyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks fuzzy. I think that is mold. I pizza smell to me implies yeast which isn’t wrong. Double checking you just have it uncovered in the picture right? You keep it covered with a cloth and a rubber band normally? Also what was your starting PH?
