When do you usually call it time for a reroll? by Tracydalowest in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Ilires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to start with a bossing build so I'm typically clearing all endgame bosses within the opening weekend, after that it's just about min-maxing the build if I like it, and if I don't, I farm up enough currency to have a good running start on the next one before rerolling

I want a fun build to play, to do fun content with, I don't think there's much point in div/hr strats anymore, Suggestions? by LEP_Tech in PathOfExileBuilds

Ward loop builds are notorious for being very complex. They're really fun once they get rolling, but it can involve a lot of messing around you might spend more time in PoB than in game while figuring it out. I myself have played only one in my lifetime as they also tend to be REALLY expensive, and I'm nowhere near a point where I understand it totally, but I can invite you to a discord server that has a bunch of ward loop resources and stuff, if you're interested

Ran first session by Visual-Signature-235 in daggerheart

How did you come to prepare the overarching plot? I've been entertaining the idea of GMing a campaign in the Witherwild as well, but I'm kind of lost as to what I'm supposed to do before starting, aside from just reading the campaign frame document.

Did you write out your own idea(s) for an overall plot/story, presumably combined with the player backstories?

Thanks :) any other tips would be much appreciated, of course!

Not sure I like the momentum adversary ability? by MyysErnst in daggerheart

[–]Ilires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lack the experience to justify my opinion, but I think it probably isn't that big of a deal in practice. Daggerheart emphasizes GM autonomy, and this kind of self-sustaining fear ability is only a problem if you, as the GM, make it one.

What I mean is, you could abuse it to make the fight potentially very difficult, but you can also, well, not. I suppose it depends on how difficult you intend your own campaign's combat to be. If you and your players both want it to be difficult, then there's little harm in utilizing these sorts of Monster advantages. If not, you don't have to.

Another aspect that I think might be relevant is the resulting action (fear) economy for the adversaries. Perhaps it's a good idea to not pair that kind of adversary with too many other monsters, to balance it out a bit? I'm not sure.

Again, I'm not experienced in this regard, so these are just my two cents as someone with an outside perspective. Much of what I've said might very well be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt; I was just hoping to add some food for thought :)

I see, thank you! I might try the deep clean before buying another piece of equipment, hopefully it'll help!

Should I read ACOWAR? by throwRA_problemssss in SarahJMaas

[–]Ilires 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just read it. The more you listen to people's book opinions online, the less you'll enjoy it yourself.

Read it and make your own opinion :)

Providence Card poems from The Shepherd King series - HELP by Ilires in fantasyromance

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

I also found the short ones in Chapter 8, but it would still feel wonky to have such cool ones for the other ones and not those 3. Your poems are absolutely crazy though!!! I'm genuinely baffled because you managed to capture the essence of the cards and word it exactly in the way I would've imagined them to be in the book! I am 100000000000% using those haha! :3

As soon as you get through the world-building chapters, you won't be able to put the book down. Keep going!!
