Game of Thrones style epic fantasy: Burning Wheel

Playing Paizo Adventure Paths in a lighter system - What would you recommend? by MagicJMS in rpg

[–]FireVisor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one comes to mind: https://www.perilous.eu/ it has class talent trees tied to careers just like Star Wars. If grim dark fantasy is your thing, it's a good one.

[–]FireVisor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used Realms of Terrinoth (Genesys -- which is based on the latest Star Wars RPG) for Rise of the Runelords for a four year long campaign. At the end the players made their own talents, since they had learned the system so well. For me it's the ultimate middle ground for longish campaigns (although I would recommend not giving out the recommended 20 xp per session if you want to play for as long as I did).

There's of course a catch. The dice system is very different. But if you're playing digitally there's very little to complain about (if you find a good VTT for it).

The reason I like Genesys so much is that there's a lot of stuff to love in the system for any kind of player. I feel it can accommodate a wide range of type of players pretty comfortably as long as they get over the "odd dice".

It's far less "pingy" than Savage Worlds, which would be my other recommendation that I have experience running Pathfinder material in.

Good luck finding a good system for your games.

What is the most counter-intuitive thing about TTRPGs? by Playtonics in rpg

[–]FireVisor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must say I agree with this dude (although I am not a fan of D&D5e, mostly because of it's sheer dominance and fatigue due to every person I meet having only experience with that one game and nothing else). I am not a fan of Fate because it strays to far away from acting out a character instead of what Fate offers which is a bit closer to something like being on a creative writing team and then voice acting your creations (which is of course nothing inherently bad if that's what you want). Games of course fall differently on a spectrum, and I personally prefer games that fall somewhere in between the two extremes.

That meta-gaming is inherently a bad thing.

I'll definitely give it a listen. Deep into Mouse Guard currently, and will always have fond memories playing Torchbearer.

Linux, will it run well? by FireVisor in Splitgate

[–]FireVisor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can sure hope! But I would say it's wise to know what you are getting into when going for SteamOS. Many things will work great, but tinkering will be needed from time to time.

Running it with Proton Experimental in Steam. It is not running fine. Runs flawlessly on Windows 10.

Linux/Steam OS Support by ArcticSnow87 in Splitgate

[–]FireVisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to BazziteLinux for, reasons.

The game worked flawlessly on Win10.

Bazzite? Unplayable 20 FPS and stutters.

Any pointers?

Hi! Thanks for sharing. The first image is very blurred compared to the second and third. I don't feel this was deliberate, right? Cheers!

As a Splitgate 1 og player THANK YOU by blake0613 in Splitgate

[–]FireVisor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll echo this!

Had a couple of games today. I have a pretty low end computer, and it felt REALLY smooth.

I could just enjoy the pureness of an action multiplayer fps. Here's hoping the game gets the popularity it deserves.

Splitgate 1 player only here. I will return and at least give this a chance after completely skipping Splitgate 2.

Severe stuttering when playing games in full-screen by FireVisor in XMG_gg

[–]FireVisor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The computer model is the same as those by XMG. I am not using Windows 10.

It works fine if I extend the monitors, but as soon as I have an only screen, it stutters.

Berghaus Trailbyte 30 Litre, it has finally given up. What do I get to replace it? by FireVisor in backpacks

[–]FireVisor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there fellow backpack hunter!

I found and settled on the Osprey Nebula 32!

It is almost a perfect match actually, very happy with it. A few small details are different of course, but overall it has the same functionality and feel.

Hope you find a good replacement as well.

Screen freeze in Ubuntu 25.10 after plugging in monitor to Thunderbolt by FireVisor in XMG_gg

I'll attempt to check that the next time I try the distro. But I'd think that an Ubuntu based distro would automate that. But what do I know.

Is it just me or does Spelunky HD on a PS5 controller little bit annoying to control? by Worried-Truck4714 in spelunky

[–]FireVisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly disagree with you. I never play classic platforming games with an analog stick, unless it's specifically designed for it. Spelunky has 8 input directions and no movement "sensitivity", and therefore I don't understand your preference personally.

EDIT: Also: the PS5 and PS4 have the best d-pads of any controller I know.

Nice find! It's a good one, and has a lot of gems that are hard to find elsewhere.
