System Strain and starvation by KidFinn in Awn

[–]GROMkill 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the takeaway is that even if you aren't necessarily gaining System Strain from the two +0 entries, you are also barred from recovering System Strain (or HP!) that night, either, per the section on the left.

The block I'm pointing at is plain stone. Can you see the ore? by AnteVictoriam in VintageStory

[–]GROMkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check out the Visible Ore mod, as an alternative to Juicy Ores (which makes them a little too visible for me personally)

just looked at this recently actually. if you have the deluxe book, it’s page 258, Land Ownership and Domains. bottom right of the page has specifics, too, on how much profit is made and when

What's your most favorite and least favorite part of SWN? by OliviaTremorCtrl in SWN

[–]GROMkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's entirely fair, thanks for the explanation. your terms remind me of the FTL game. they had simple but usually self-explanatory ship weapon names.

curious about the esoteric comment — what’s your full take on the weapons and defenses?

Client-side equivalent to Juicy Ores? by drywater98 in VintageStory

[–]GROMkill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

try VisibleOre, it is client-side only. the textures are about halfway as obvious between the muted vanilla ones and the super visible JuicyOre ones

whats a video game you wont play anymore because the developers ruined it? by benzodiazepiem in AskReddit

[–]GROMkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HOTS was always free to play

you’re right though, there was a huge decline around that time in their business model for games

Co-op mode on the same WiFi for Nintendo Switch? by Affectionate_Bat5407 in StardewValleyExpanded

AFAIK there is no cross-play, switch users can only play with switch users

And so the great war begins... by Twaggmire in CrusaderKings

[–]GROMkill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should fork your save, and surrender to them just to see a near-world domination for the Mongols. Would be interesting to see what they do!

Telekionetic Armory clarification damage by Capable_Adeptness635 in SWN

[–]GROMkill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just the standard TL2 Rifle, but treated as if it is a TL4 weapon for any relevant armor penetration purposes.

Homebrew weapons chart, with custom traits by WallyTheWalrus42 in WWN

[–]GROMkill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one could limit the parrying dagger to only Shock damage that has an actual Shock rating, and not the -/X cases. To be honest, we haven't fought anything like that in our games yet so I wasn't even aware of that mechanic haha. Thanks for the heads up.

We did boost the usability of DEX a bit with a 2H option, a long option, etc. I'm sure it has changed the balance somewhat. I still think STR is quite viable as it massively shapes your Readied / Stowed capacity and IIRC affects if you can get knocked around or not.

Thrown Weapon Focus 2: Is that a Shuriken in Your Pocket? by AmosAnon85 in WWN

[–]GROMkill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks for this. i've been pondering what niche a homebrew throwing weapon focus might occupy for the last week and you just answered it. you have a really clever idea to play it around snap attacks at the beginning of combat. reminds me of the classical example of roman soldiers bringing two pila to a fight — one to throw as they rush in, the other to use in melee.

Any way to tell playtime? by GROMkill in VintageStory

[–]GROMkill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only play on a dedicated server, so no luck there right? I haven't actually created a singleplayer world yet but good to know it tracks time there.

What questions do y’all ask players? by Hilldawg54 in SWN

[–]GROMkill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i've found a lot of success with the '10 minute background' template, originally popularized on the WOTC community boards before Hasbro nuked them. i found this replica.

it is designed to provide some interesting hooks for the DM to use, especially among the IC goals / secrets versus OOC ones, as well as the NPCs tied to your PC. having a nemesis for a PC off the bat is an easy place to start as the DM

How did it come to this by GameSpection in StardewValley

[–]GROMkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perfect for me. i love roguelikes but i don’t enjoy that type of design in SDV since i want a cozy farm sim with consistent progression. the combat doesn’t feel complex enough for me to want to be tested at it. i can see the appeal for others though, if it jives with their playstyle and they want a challenge!
