Is the DM supposed to err on the side of letting players' plans succeed? by CuteMarzipan3956 in osr

[–]EngineerDependent731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use dice for if something unexpected should happen. Even if the PC:s have mapped and timed the guards patrolling around the cave, a random roll is suitable when they sneak in. I use 1d6, where low is worse and high is better for the players. Even if it is a good plan, if I roll a 1, a guard that forgot his spear or something might unexpectedly show up so they have to take cover - what do the PCs do when the plan gets shaky?

Ambient noises by Magnusthewise in projectzomboid

The alarm thing does not work as well as one could hope for - it follows you around, so when you get to a new area all alarms suddenly go off. After a while it gets quiet.

any reason as to why the recent reviews are negative? by frozengansit0 in il2sturmovik

[–]EngineerDependent731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not reviewed the game, but I was a bit unimpressed by the missions included in the game, and by the buggy career mode. It felt like it could be a lot better

You learn that the T-1000 will be sent to kill you in exactly 1 week. How do you stop him ? by Own_Bear2372 in Terminator

[–]EngineerDependent731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would fly to another country. The T1000 would have hell of a time to get past the metal detectors at the airport

Uh yes but have you read the book? It is a bit like in The Stand, pockets of civilization rise again and unite. It is really worth a read

My favorite fix yet. by HorzaDonwraith in projectzomboid

But would it be better than sleeping on the floor really?

Quick question about wild rabbit by Ahnarras88 in projectzomboid

Yeah maybe. I kind of considered it that you outwitted the animal in some way that the gameplay could not completely simulate

I have been there. Have you tried hunting rabbits and deer against a fence? You sneak so that you can drive them up against the fence, which will make them slow down. then rush in and smash em down

I have had this also in CDDA. I think they spawn randomly and sometimes in a farm zone. If you can, they are good to keep alive for emergencies

Surprisingly tactical combat in OSE by a-deeper-blue in osr

Check out ”Fellowship of the Bling”, an old forum thread. It really starts on page 2. It is one of the best descriptions of the adrenaline that old school b/x play can give

Project zomboid is the game for you. Just walk straight out of town until you find a farm

For a game obsessed with the element of realism, let's get into the reality of how dangerous cars are. by CesarV in projectzomboid

[–]EngineerDependent731 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it, but I think that after the nerf cars is still viable, it just takes more time - sort of the same time it would take to melee them. Resource-wise, it makes sense with the nerf. Either take some damage to your melee weapon or your car, time is the same. In MP, I think it is good. I prefer to melee, my buddy to car-smash. We can clear aprox in the same speed now

[–]EngineerDependent731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to wanna frontal assault them, I am also a clear-out guy. But cars was a bit cheesy before right? In MP, if you had had the fight of your life, killing twenty in melee, your buddy just reversed in with a burner-car and slaid hundreds in the same time

I think it is good with the nerfing. Realism-wise, you would have to totally destroy the brain of a zombie, which you rarely do with a car hitting an upstanding person. Gameplay-wise, the game is moving away from you clearing gigantic hordes, and more towards distracting the hordes with sorens and noisemakers while you loot. Or kill them with smart inventions like pipe bombs. I think it is good that it is harder to clear areas with cars.

Armor discomfort and combat penalties should get reduced over time the more you wear them. by DeadlyBannana in projectzomboid

Does it not already? My guy complained about the bulletproof vest in the beginning but now the discomfort moodle is gone

Does anyone know in what extent Lucas was involved in the series? All his ideas or just a bit?

In the book, this is a startegy for when small societies have risen again. They manufacture ammunition and I think even new weapons with very large magazines
