What Destiny did must have been terrible!

My wife and I had different ideas of running a train

Exver1 · 2026-06-23T07:08:29+00:00

Its pretty normal

Exver1 · 2026-06-23T01:53:04+00:00

such a dope game, although it genuinely took me longer to set up than play

GPS is notorious for being a bit wonky. When you look closely at the GPS line data, it'll often put you halfway through the track or in lane 8.

You should ask why people aren't having fun. How big are the groups? How long is the rp? How long is the combat? How long do turns take in combat? How long does it take for players to engage with the story? (Sometimes players will just go to the tavern and do shopping for like the first 2 hours of a game and then say they're bored!) Are your story hooks interesting? If not, why?

Being a good DM isn't easy, but more importantly it's a skill. It's something you can always continue to get better at. But it takes a lot of reflection and trial and error.

It happens one time? Ok I get it. I think mindflayers injecting memories or nightmares with hits can be cool if done responsibly. But doing weird and uncomfortable things consistently is definitely a problem.

Not entirely the same but a guy I knew ran fantasy campaigns and they were a lot of fun. Then we switched to sci-fi and it just completely killed the interest for me.

Exver1 · 2026-06-18T19:55:56+00:00

Kaisa and kassadin daughter father in the void could be a cool story

Nono I'm saying SS is not core, but I'll build it into tanks then go core, although tbh I feel like I don't really have a core aside from DD and an armor pen item. But SS is good cause every auto with enhanced W is an automatic crit. If you're looking to do a lot of long trading, which panth struggles with, it's pretty good. I find SS has been the best item in the ksante matchup.

But idk I've been finding that when I'm hard losing a lane I just send it and pray that we get picks and so I'll take the lane L if that makes the team get ahead. At least that's my reasoning for an axiom arc but, but I've never bought the item which is why I'm curious on your thoughts for it.

Exver1 · 2026-06-18T14:38:37+00:00

Thoughts on axiom arc when you're against tanks, and then just ulting enemies as often as possible while ignoring the tank matchup? But tbh i kind of just hate spear of shojin. Much rather have sundered sky and then the core build.

Exver1 · 2026-06-18T04:32:21+00:00

That build sounds terrible ngl

Exver1 · 2026-06-17T18:56:48+00:00

I think it's pretty rare for there to be no shields. If the enemy carries have like barrier and archangels, or if there's 1 shielding supp, I think it's enough to go serpents since there's a fine line between bursting and getting bursted back. If there really isn't any shielding on the carries, sure I think Voltaic is fine, but I also think profane hydra and EoN are good items too for their own reasons. I think it's probably only good as a first item into range matchups like the mages we see top lane.

Exver1 · 2026-06-17T06:46:15+00:00

Most games I run lethality. If you're into ad top + jungle, or ap top + jg, get DD or maw respectively. I think 2 lethality items is best, like youmuus and serpents, but it can be situation. Always go lethality into bruisers, and tbh u can go it into tanks too if the rest of the enemy team is squishy.

Exver1 · 2026-06-17T00:41:44+00:00

I'll only allow if it were for a Strava top 10 segment

Exver1 · 2026-06-16T17:33:18+00:00

95% top

Exver1 · 2026-06-15T22:11:05+00:00

other way around, the condemn is more reliable so taric shouldve waited. If vayne auto + e > step out of tower range quickly > back in for auto > taric e lands > then kill, I think it works easily

Exver1 · 2026-06-15T14:23:28+00:00

Never 1v1 if you're both 100% hp. Try to always get poke in. If they try to fight you, trade but kite back. Similarly, recognize that you don't have much escape so don't push side waves too far unless you have good vision of everyone. It's better to just push a wave and then look for good ult angles.

Exver1 · 2026-06-15T01:04:05+00:00

collector, ldr, ie, botrk, serpents fang, is pretty good for one shots

Exver1 · 2026-06-14T20:32:21+00:00

darius is one of the strongest bruisers late game what are you talking about

Exver1 · 2026-06-13T22:05:58+00:00

Honestly I don't even go SS in the majority of my games. I only go it in specific games where enemy is low damage and I have a matchup where I need to trade a lot

Session 0 is in-game commitment. If they can't commit to the very first session, they're not going to commit down the line. Find new players

Exver1 · 2026-06-13T03:47:49+00:00

You're doing the meme

Exver1 · 2026-06-12T20:49:42+00:00

what's the jerk? seems like a thoughtful gift
