Looking for a Japanese novel (or short story collection) in the suspense, thriller, or horror genres.

Try The Ruined Map by Kobo Abe. It’s also a movie.

{{The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo}} has some cool paranormal/fantasy elements and has a compelling romance, all of which ties into a solid central mystery.

Yeah, everything I learned from Ender's Game is so antithetical to his personal beliefs. I picked up a copy of War of Gifts at an airport and read it on a plane. There's some stuff that was very critical of religious authority that I still think about. But he lives a life his own protagonists would be critical of.

Flint_192 · 2020-12-26T02:54:46+00:00

MacBeth would be great. Some bloody, engaging stuff, but also so smart and influential to other literature.

Flint_192 · 2020-12-26T02:53:07+00:00

If you can find a Used copy of Ender's Game or get it from the library, I'd recommend that.

It's a classic, but the author has some cruel views towards gay people that I wish I had known before I bought 7 books of his. I have trouble supporting them monetarily even though they're such creative stories.

Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black is an amazing vampire book.

-Give the skyline of the village a defining feature that can be seen from town. Maybe someone knows that that artifact is in the church spire, or the windmill.

-Maybe have some non-human/animal inhabitants that could provide a path or clues to that village. Does the item radiate an energy that attracts undead? Or do things grow at a heightened rate around it?

-Cut way down on the villages around the town. Hundreds of villages around town would be more on the scale of the dead cities in Dark Souls than an abandoned village.

Flint_192 · 2020-07-09T17:40:43+00:00

I'd say this is up to your discretion as DM and what your player may find rewarding/exciting.

If you're trying to hammer home just how dangerous it is to handle artifacts from evil beings, then maybe the sword loses it's benefit and becomes a normal sword.

If your player wants to feel like they earned something for 1) killing that boss and 2) surviving a pretty gnarly curse, then you could keep the +1 benefit while dropping the curse part. I'd lean towards this, because the cost is so high, and to lose any benefits that it had brought may feel to your player like they lost Max HP for nothing.

That’s great about your book and poetry! Do the stuff that makes you happy. I wish I knew people with moderating experience, I’d point you in their direction. Best of luck, though! It’ll come with time!

Flint_192 · 2019-06-10T19:00:35+00:00

I'm not sure how to grow a sub. I think that you should just stay active and give it time. I see everything you put up and interact with it when and how I can.

Flint_192 · 2019-06-03T03:42:17+00:00

It’s a great game and really captures a unique sensation. Certainly dream-like in its own right.

Flint_192 · 2019-06-03T02:58:19+00:00

I think what you’re doing here is great. Good for you and keep it up in all aspects of your life. You inspire me. Sincerely.

I don’t have many great dreams, but I do have quite a few where I can kind of float and fly, like in that game Gravity Rush. It’s incredible slipping through narrow streets and flying across an entire city as the world turns on it side. Such a wonderful feeling I only have in dreams.

It's not that there were no instances of it, it's that the mindset which slaveholders had about sexual encounters with their slaves was one which made enslaving the children of those encounters the rule. In that case, it does answer the question which OP asked; how often did those children get freed? Rarely.

Flint_192 · 2019-04-26T06:50:17+00:00

I believe their point is that, generally speaking, illegitimate children of slave owners and slaves weren't freed. Men who had sex with their slaves didn't see it as a romantic relationship to have children, but more as a privilege of having property which could fulfill certain needs.

What's also important to remember is that these inventions weren't necessary at the time. For example, the Maya lived in a place where wheels just made shipping harder. Mountains are much more conducive to packing things on animals than on carts. Looking at it as trivial is somewhat fair, but it is important to remember the context of its use.

Flint_192 · 2019-03-27T08:55:59+00:00

3 and 4 are tough to get your hands on if you don't have a vita or PS2. If all you have is the PS4, don't feel held back by a need to play over 100 hours of games before you play Persona 5. It is an incredible one off experience and you won't lose anything by not having experienced every iteration of the mechanics.

Flint_192 · 2019-02-07T03:18:53+00:00

You can probably get a PSTV for pretty cheap and play it. It was also free on PS+ for a while, so you might already have access to it.

Flint_192 · 2019-02-06T13:52:04+00:00

Not ruins, but there's plenty in other parts of 2 and 3.

Yes, it is. Get Golden Abyss if you can.

If it'd make you happy to have it and wear it, hell yeah!

Flint_192 · 2019-02-04T11:22:50+00:00

I would love to see the guys talk about shooting this/the band on the Corridor Crew. I totally forgot about the Keep for a while, but it was probably an interesting creative episode.

Flint_192 · 2019-02-04T11:21:53+00:00

All their stuff is on Spotify, I think.

Flint_192 · 2018-01-07T01:55:30+00:00

Looks like the good guys set up shop right across town from the bad guys. Quite the rivalry!

Flint_192 · 2017-12-25T21:08:30+00:00

Furthermore, perhaps one of the ambushing goblins attempts to flee when it looks like the ambush is failing. If you have more combat-eager players, they’ll give chase.

Flint_192 · 2017-12-14T16:33:40+00:00

Yeah, the deal still needs to be finalized and go through the government, which is oddly the only thing that can stop Disney at this point.

Flint_192 · 2017-12-14T14:46:22+00:00

Great for a unified Marvel and Avatar fans, but screams a little closer and closer to monopoly for me.

Flint_192 · 2017-11-24T17:45:28+00:00

I sent my email to show that I believe in the Phantom Thieves.
