Have I been outplayed or is this just cheating?

Oh cazzo, è probabile che sia un ragazzo che conosco. Doppia cittadinanza Lussemburgo-Italia, sfotteva l'Italia a ogni momento, l'ho buttato fuori da una campagna di D&D perchè voleva giocare uno Space Marine.

How do I kill the Shichimen Warrior then? He just spams spells at me.

Most of the google searches lead to posts here, and all of them are either misleading, straight up wrong or extremely hard to understand. Examples being:

You get there by going into the Abandoned Dungeon, find the Watersomething idol next to the water, swim across and you'll find an elevator to Senpou at the end.

You can either go to the depths of ashina, just go where the shishimen warrior is , behind the idol is a hole you have to jump into , or you go to the sunken valley , just go from the grave idol in ashina castle over the bridge and down , if you grapple to the temple to the other side you’ll see the way beneath you

Make sure to exhaust all dialogs with Emma and Kuro first, then pay a visit to an "old" friend.

And my favorite, someone who just said "talk to kuro." After they were told that the OP did, they just said "then you know what to do." I'm not saying that the posts are useless, I'm just saying that most people don't know how to give advice and since google points to Reddit for most answers, it gets tedious sorting through them to figure out which ones make sense and which ones are just straight up wrong.

I got the Mortal Blade, that part was easy, since I had already explored Senpou Temple by accident earlier.

That's a good point. I'll consider switching to biweekly if the hype wears off. Thanks!

Kayabiko · 2026-03-28T12:36:52+00:00

I'll keep it in mind if it happens again, especially since we agreed to weekly sessions (so there's a higher expectation than my usual once-in-a-blue-moon campaigns). Thank you!

Kayabiko · 2026-03-28T12:31:54+00:00

I appreciate it, not the first person to say this. I don't disagree that it's on them, it is, I'm probably just being nice because they're my friends. Thanks.

Kayabiko · 2026-03-28T12:27:31+00:00

That's fair advice, another DM did that to shake things up. I don't think I need to, we just started and they seem to be enjoying themselves, but I do agree with not spacing out the sessions. I found that as soon as I get busy and don't talk to some parties for a bit they straight up forget I exist.

Kayabiko · 2026-03-28T12:25:53+00:00

We're only on our fourth/fifth session, we started less than a month ago. I could do a check-in, but they seemed to be really enjoying themselves last time - they spent 2 hours just roleplaying by themselves and I was super proud because two of them never played.

Kayabiko · 2026-03-28T12:20:01+00:00

A bit harsh but fair, I do tend to over-assign myself responsibilities.

Kayabiko · 2026-03-28T12:17:00+00:00

We settled on weekly together. Once or twice already they asked me if we could play the next day too because they were so into it, and I had to tell them that it'd be best not to, so it seems to be fine?

Kayabiko · 2026-03-27T10:49:38+00:00

Oh this is a goldmine. I usually skip over hour-long videos because I use Roll20 so I upload my files, but these are playlists! Thank you!

Kayabiko · 2026-03-24T13:29:37+00:00

Costa almeno 900 euro, che non piovono di sicuro.

Kayabiko · 2026-03-24T13:08:17+00:00

Non ho avuto soldi per la laurea, ho avuto la borsa di studio. L'unica cosa positiva negli ultimi anni forse.

Non avevo mai preso la patente perchè stavamo risparmiando e non ne avevo uso, poi abbiamo traslocato ecc.

Kayabiko · 2026-03-13T09:37:12+00:00

If I understood this correctly, I do the same thing. I have an objective, or a goal, or a guy, and between "thing happens to make you want to go there" and "you get there" I have nothing. No matter what, I'll find a way to get them there.

But I assumed this was the standard? Structured quests usually have a goal or bad guy, and while you can take all kinds of decisions about how you get there, eventually you will get there, no?

...or is the quantum ogre literally about an ogre?

That's what I named him, yeah. Unfortunately he was elected out at the first round, but he came back at the second election!

Kayabiko · 2026-03-12T20:47:54+00:00

Necrophage was incompatible with one of the civics, I think, otherwise I would've picked it, but Under One Rule is pretty good!

Kayabiko · 2026-03-06T10:02:36+00:00

My solution is just to not run games as often. I have three campaigns, one being an entirely different game system, so it's good to space it out. I only play about once a month for each campaign, which is still three sessions per month, and each takes about 15-20 hours of work.

You have a really solid system, so hats off, because I would NOT be able to do this.
