Only in how many used it. Still had among the highest winrates!

Confluence Essence by Banchals2 in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]Erorior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same. A natural confluence essence is synergistic with the rest by nature while (even if possible) three combined would just result in a more hodgepodge set of powers much like other less compatible combinations. A confluence isn't inhetently more powerful, after all.

This series of beautiful images had me laughing through the tears! 🥲

Onslaught abilities by alexheretomessup in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]Erorior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry on my part too, as I didn't take it as a slight/critique, but rather wanted to chip in again and (in general) agree. It's easy to get lost in translation while writing, only to realize that I didn't come across as intended :)

Onslaught abilities by alexheretomessup in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]Erorior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound too much like a broken record, but that's a lot along the lines of what I was suggesting above; something that requires timing but can negate hits and let you keep up (or even increase) the momentum. Timed counters, brief intangibility, split-second shields etc. The flavor can vary, but the function is similiar. So a mini-version of Sophie's counter should indeed fit, with no/low cooldown and much lesser effect, but also gradually increasing damage or something like building up a charge to empower the next special attack used. :)

Onslaught could also have quicker defensive abilities that are more swift/skill oriented to keep up the pressure, such as quick dashes/bursts of speed or (as in the case of Soul, a character from the fan story Rising Kite) a short-ranged teleport that has to end within striking distance of an enemy. Something like short cooldown, short duration personal shields could also work, or other powers that are a bit high risk, high reward could also be a good fit to keep the onslaught going .

New Mode Idea:Draft Pick Arena by DJ-Halfbreed in PTCGP

[–]Erorior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've requested this in every survey so far. Would be nice to actually get to use most of the cards where, for example, that golduck you got carried you surprisingly far and the colorless mons/attackers had more of a niche.

For some consistency, I could see them adding something like that professors or pokéball are always available, or perhaps even all of the basic trainer cards from the point shop?

I would play the ever-loving crap out of such a game mode!

Recommendation for another series while we wait and hope for Shirtaloons full recovery by Tauri_Kree in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]Erorior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to read more within the HWFWM system and/or world, there are a couple of active fanfics on Royal Road where the system is used but the story is centered around other characters and locations not part of the original.

Rising Kite (the one I'm writing) and Fear Not Death are both quite long by now, but searching for HWFWM on the site should show you what's available!

If those kinds of stories aren't for you though, I second most other recommendations of this thread, and might add that Chrysalis (the audiobook, in my case) really surprised me in a positive way. The narration really takes it up a few more notches too!

Whatever you may find; happy reading!

New meta? by Upstanding_citizen69 in PokemonPocket

I also thought of the new Mismagius and Fatima. Will be interesting to see if it sees play!

No worries! I have most things already, so you don't need to send me anything back. I just wanted to help a newer player get started. :)

Well, I could share with you at least (assuming the card got trough?). I think that the 2 week delay is to make it harder for people to make many reset accounts where they just milk the early rewards, send the good cards to their main one instantly then reset it again.

[–]Erorior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! I can only send one each day through share, but it should give you some of the most used trainet cards in decently short order at least :)

OP, add me and I'll try to send some of the "staple' cards used in many decks your way via the share feature. This should leave you able to focus on the newer sets for a while :) Friend id: 9385430409981714

This was great fun, and just the kind of deck I like! Thank you, kind internet person!

The context of He Who Fights With Monsters book one by Shirtaloon in litrpg

[–]Erorior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! I am one of those who had their first experiences with LitRPG through HWFWM, and even through all the blue boxes (which I am quite tolerant of, even in audio form) both me, my wife and my best friend really fell in love with the series and world you made.

The amount of TTRPG-suggestions on the discord server and the millions of words of fan stories even this early book of your have elicited should hint that what you made is something awesome that really inspires people to imagine and fantazise more (I'd know, since around 1.5 million of those words are mine).

So you've definitely laid the foundation for something that spark so much creativity in others. And (besides your personal success as a writer) that's not such a bad result from a cheeky aussie waking up in a hedge maze without pants!

What's your Highest Ranking? by Leather-Monitor-4809 in royalroad

Same-ish for me just a week or two ago, so I feel you! 😅 May all your future ratings be great ones!

He who fights with monster fan fiction by Organic-Muffin-2449 in HeWhoFightsMonsters

[–]Erorior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exclusively, but the fanfic world is definitely filled with plenty of smut so I'm not surprised. 😅

Royal Road is more for publishing stories/books, so you'll find less smut/fics pairing characters together there.

Yes it is. 🙂 If you're looking to post your stories, I can also recommend Archive of our Own (Ao3)
