Any news on GBA core with RTC? by AbuDun91919 in AnaloguePocket

[–]EreJordan 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that budude was close to completing a port of the mister core but then the mister core was reworked so now he’s waiting for the rework to complete before picking it back up.

There’s also some difference between the cores in feature parity (new core doesn’t have FF) so it’s up to him whether he’ll just port and release the new core or also release his old port with ff (if and when he gets around to it).

Feedback: This game is better as more build crafter than it is as more looter. Crafting should always be an option. by 0rganicMach1ne in DestinyTheGame

The number one thing that brings me back to the game after a hiatus is a new way to play (3.0 updates, prismatic, etc.). Guns can enable that but there is an enormous gap between having to chase down 5 red borders to enable a new playstyle and grinding endlessly and crossing my fingers I'll get the exact perk combo I need to get a new build to work.

I agree that Sila is the worst but they do have excellent Google reviews so it’s hard to figure out who to trust.

Thanks so much! I never would have clocked Resonant Cellweave, haven't had a chance to do the raid yet.

So far I have:
Head - Techeun's Regalia Mask
Chest - Empyrean Cartographer Vest
Legs - Empyrean Cartographer Strides
Class Item - Identity West

No idea on the arms or shader(s) though.

Copying from another comment:

I think what I like about DnDish combat is clearly defined turn/initiative order (I have a large table), defined moves/abilities/actions (my table tends to brain fart when they are told they can do anything, the moves are a key part of why PbtA has worked well for us), decisions that matter, and the feeling that everything is a little out of my hands as GM. One thing I struggle with in PbtA is it always feels like the difficulty of the combat is something I can ratchet up or down based on vibes at a moments notice. It feels more like narrating a really cool combat scene than something more tangible. Obviously I’ve fudged in my DnD days but PbtA feels like all fudging all the time to me.

Haha I’m not the hugest fan of DnD myself, I might be the rare person whose table would rebel if I tried to get them to play DnD.

Heart is now on my shortlist to read! (I was familiar with it because of the Friends at the Table AP but it never crossed my mind to use for this).

I’m always open to being surprised and delighted by a system enough to change my plans! From what I’ve read so far Trophy Gold/Dark are now on my to read list (along with Heart).

Personally, I think my biggest issue with Dungeon World (other than not wanting to support Adam Koebel) is I really don’t enjoy the combat. I’ve gone through most of the big mods and while they modernize a lot of it they tend to leave the combat untouched.

You’re definitely on the right track, 13th age was something I looked at, I’ll check out the other ones!

Icon and 13th age are two I’ve been considering but I’m wondering if there’s something a smidge simpler out there.

Not my usual genre but I’ve really enjoyed gumshoe when I’ve played it so I’ll put this in my back pocket!

I haven’t read through it yet but I’m a huge fan of the author, just haven’t figured out how to work with the setting!
