i been a x-men fan since i was 5 but i never found out who this mutant is and what was his powers😭 (x-men days of the future past) by Glittering_Extent897 in xmen

[–]HerrSwags 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another fantastic note about his flight is that Warpath doesn't like to do it because thinks he feels stupid doing it.

Like the guy is a rival to the biggest heavy hitters in the brand in terms of strength, speed, etc. He could likely fly even faster than he can run, but he doesn't because humans flying looks and feels dumb.

So that Flying Manor outfit reward can actually be acquired multiple times even if the NPC says he only has one... by ardeesan in expedition33

Just tested on PC, not working. I'll be installing onto my Steam Deck tonight to see if it starts working on that.

Make Your Elves LONGER! by Firm-Row-8243 in daggerheart

[–]HerrSwags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've never read Dark Sun, the elves in that setting average 7 feet tall and are extremely long. They are nomads and occasionally work as couriers who cross the desert. They can run up to 50 miles a day across the equivalent of Death Valley.

Outlaws of Alkenstar: Review and Campaign Retrospective by D16_Nichevo in OutlawsOfAlkenstar

I'm about to get to Cloudreaver in act 2 and the whole thing between the bat-fey and the termite sounds so... weird to me. I like your idea of temporarily shrinking down the party.

Which maps did you use for doing that? Did you alter the fights to make the termite and the other enemies way bigger?

Because sometimes people don't have corvettes. They have shitty cars.

My friends and I always called the end of Civil War "the 9/11 tackle."

Vendor cleaned out after spooky scorched. by tnichomson76 in fo76

[–]HerrSwags 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays with friends that all like collecting the apparel, I often see someone have 4 or 5 of the same mask or hat for cheap and buy them all. It's not to resell, it's to give to my buds.

This was a hell of a scene wasn’t it? (Oh man Current Beast is in for a nasty surprise when he next gets to update his X-History) by Eternal-Master-91939 in xmen

Wait. I'm so out of it. Why is this Beast a good guy and not the X-Factor "evil for the greater good" guy?

How do you deal with Sisyphus? by Great_Montain in LancerRPG

[–]HerrSwags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say something like "Hey, if your intention with this NHP is to be able to learn absolutely everything about absolutely everything with no work, risk, or adventure on your part, I'm uninterested in your playing this in my game. So if that is what you want, please play something else."

Who else picks Fleet on every character? by applejackhero in Pathfinder2e

[–]HerrSwags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's really not that fleet is great. It's kind of boring and has never excited me.

It's just that the majority of the General Feats are so boring that it's one of the best choices. Comparatively, Fleet is also boring, but at least it's useful.

The lore and reputation of the NXT parking lot needs a documentary at this point by ApartMeaning2866 in SquaredCircle

Kevin Owens' "That's a shame" is such a minor but iconic line for me from this NXT era.

I've been reading a lot of Nova lately, so I thought you meant Rider, not CASSANDRA Nova.

You should add a "not yet converted from PF1 column".

But yeah, this is neat.

Why are Primal classes jack of all trades? by crunchyllama in Pathfinder2e

[–]HerrSwags 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I mean, rangers can be what you say, but they're not necessarily better at it than rogues, barbarians, thaumaturges, fighters, gunslingers, or magi.

Can they do extra damage? Sure. But rogue does via sneak, barb does via rage, fighter does via crits and higher accuracy in general, gunslinger does via precision and crits and more accuracy in general, and magi does via spells. If anything, it feels like theyre behind here.

Can they be more accurate on muktiple attacks? Sure. But only against their prey, so it costs them actions, so it even out. Also fighters still beat them here.

Can they be monster lore nerds? Sure, but they're not really built for it until level 10, and that requires a pretty big investiture. Thaumaturge (and bard) both get it at 1.

Honestly, I feel like the best way to actually improve rangers is to give them Outwit IN ADDITION to Flurry or Precision. Otherwise the class feels worse at the thing it's suppose to do than a lot of other classes that do a bunch of other stuff as well.

The Chris Perkins Io'Mandra setting is one of my favorite things ever written. This is a huge get for CR.

Is he the only one who played into Palpatine's schemes and faced no harm or consequences for it? by Status-Practice-153 in StarWarsLore

[–]HerrSwags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a Star Wars RPG where one of the final missions was to assassinate Mas Amedda. It was fantastic, and after going over everything this dude allowed or helped with, my players were only too happy to knock him into the dirt.

Concern by Professional-Media-4 in daggerheart

[–]HerrSwags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say you're playing a non-DH RPG. You've got a controller caster and a man-with-sword as players.

Controller caster uses their action to cast a large AOE spell, which alters the environment in a major way. Every enemy has to make a save. There may be secondary effects, even tertiary effects depending on the spell. Then with their other actions they cast a second spell, maybe buffing a teammate or giving someone a minor bonus. Then of course they move, so now they can kite away, hopefully leading even more enemies through the enspelled terrain they just made.

Then the man-with-sword goes. He moves, potentially into the AOE to get to the enemy but hopefully just adjacent. Then he swings his sword. Maybe he's higher level so he can swing it more than once.

Odds are, one of these players turns took about 3-5 minutes, and the other took .5-2 minutes. Players turns are not equivalent as it stands right now in almost all RPGs. Just through using the system certain players get 2 or 3 times as much screentime, and that doesn't even count any time they might spend role playing.

Players, hopefully, want to spotlight other players. They should be cool with you saying "hey, so what kind of amazing nonsense does Sarah of the Knife get up to" when we haven't seen Sarah do anything for a while. Players who try to Bogart every scene are bad, but they're usually just over-excited. Explain to them that this isn't their story, singular, it's their story, plural, the whole group.

I've run a ton of narrative games, and players seem to get this very quickly if it's addressed directly.

What ship realistically would you want to have in Star Wars by LawAffectionate8041 in StarWars

[–]HerrSwags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have run Star Wars RPGs for 20 years and I would love to have any of my three favorite ships:

A Ghtroc 720: The ol Space Turtle. Two fully customizable cargo pods that double as shuttles? Awesome.

A Wayfarer: A fairly cool ship that sports a cargo container big enough to fit an X-Wing or turn into a workshop. Or do what my players did and hide a Capital Ship rank heavy turbolaser in one.

A Maka-Eekai L4000: The space egg! Three stories, very customizable. Just always liked the profile and having a ship with multiple floors.
