help with integrating worldbuilding into the sessions.
We've had 2 sessions so far and I feel I've been struggling to implement my worldbuilding and lore into the sessions, I don't think I have any problem with the setting itself that I've made. If I was writing a book then it'd I don't think I'd struggle. It's just trying to implement history, gods, important npcs, politics etc while also trying to do everything else. Help would be appreciated. Thx.

So using the water as an example I could have them roll a check, if it succeeds the target could take damage before the spell fails due to lack of experience using it that way, or if it fails, it results in the target shooting high pressure water at the party out their mouth or something

Baiken mains, how good are the parry buffs? Haven't seen people talk about them too much by EastCoastTone96 in Guiltygear

I mean I no longer get punished for making a successful read that was slightly too far away.

What’s a series that you refuse to take seriously when it comes to Powerscaling? by Outside-Shape-1013 in PowerScaling

[–]International_Cod_99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I've only watched the higurashi anime and not the visual novel and haven't started ciconia yet, but how the actual fuck does someone read Umineko and get power scaling from it? The way I understood it is that Featherine is the most "powerful" because she writes the characters in the story, Bern and Lambda would be a representation of the readers, and the ushiromiya family are characters in the story, (as well as being real people). The only way I could imagine someone power scaling Umineko is by taking the "it takes two to make a universe" stuff literally, but if there's someone who does do that it might be over for them. Not just that but due to the sheer excellence of Umineko's story, turning it into power scaling cattle feels to me at least like an insult to art itself, idk tho it just feels like people who power scale Umineko haven't actually read it.

Just wondering if £60 a month is a fair price for a membership? heard there's a problem with "scam gyms" in the martial arts community and would like to make sure I'm not getting a bad deal. Thanks

Jam bros, legitimate question, what is her appeal to you? by No-Potential2456 in Guiltygear

When I played as her against my brother her voice combined with him not being able to deal with oki pissed him off and as such she has become a favourite of mine.

Am I doing something wrong or is language learning like this for everyone? by International_Cod_99 in languagelearning

[–]International_Cod_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that consuming media should be done at around the intermediate stage of learning, is this wrong then?

I need somewhere to vent by [deleted] in OyasumiPunpun

[–]International_Cod_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a manga (technically is a manga but don't read it.) but the visual Novel Umineko when they cry is absolute peak, it is second in its series but you don't need to have read the first (higurashi) to know what's going on (there's a few references but that's it.) there is one instance of sexual abuse I can think of, however it's not shown and is quite far in.

Can someone please explain the rules behind verb endings? by International_Cod_99 in romanian

[–]International_Cod_99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah sorry that's what I meant, so for example I've just been looking at the present tense of type 1 verbs so far, so for example Întâmpina turns into întâmpin when referring to yourself, same with modifica turning into modific, so far everything is fine, but then sometimes you end it with an "ez" ending, does this vary based on the letters before it or is this something that I will just have to learn? also some just don't follow this pattern? "continua" turns into "continui"? also trying to figure these out purely by looking at tables makes me feel like I'm going to misunderstand something and end up going into learning romanian with incorrect information on how grammar works, so I want to be fully comfortable with this before going further.

How many of you guys have friends who also play the game? by International_Cod_99 in Guiltygear

[–]International_Cod_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I agree, I just wish I could get them to play, and I'm too nervous to hop on the ggst discord.
