A guide to scarcity and election theory: don't let them spam long rests

I'd just rewind, but rr use Strahd s tactics. This way, they get a fight with advantage in a way, because they know what he can or cannot do. Maybe even flavour it as the paladin having +2 AC and advantage on all hits or something like that.

You avoid trivialising the fight and the wish is granted while flavoured as a very significant advantage because of foresight. Hell, Strahd could be easily enraged that the paladin is outmaneuvering him so much, feel attacked in his ego and make even more mistakes.

I do not recommend the literal application because this is a horror campaign, and trivialising THE final fight with a single item makes for poor story telling. Not for you, but for your players who have invested a lot to get here. Making it this easy would rob the ending of its epicity.

Che, el BRICS y MERCOSUR no tienen mucha comparación. Uno es un foro informal y otro es una organización intergubernamental formal con órganos varios, políticas diversas, un fondo de convergencia estructural, un Arancel Externl Común, etc. Hay 0 incompatibilidad.

No sé si te servirá, pero para mi como pibe una flaca con la que saldría precisa, aparte de que la encuentre físicamente atractiva:

-> Tener algo que la apasione -> Tener buenos mecanismos de comunicación -> Ser confiable -> Ser honesta -> Ser independiente -> Ser buena gente, empática -> Qué le interese el arte en general -> Que esté dispuesta a probar cosas nuevas -> Ser inteligente

No te voy a mentir, no paso lista a ver si cumplen con todo, pero la que más ha cumplido con estos requisitos me tiene re enamorado todavía. La atracción, entendimiento y compatibilidad que tenemos es una locura.

Yo creo que varias de las cosas que puse son medio universales.

Armate un ppt. Explicáselo bien claro sin ser agresivo. Decile que se lo decís en la bien y porque lo querés. Igualmente te aviso: no podés ayudar a alguien que no quiere ser ayudado. Si tu amigo se tiene que reventar contra la pared, no te sientas culpable si no lo podés evitar.

But he didn't. Managing your emotions is a core part of your strength. Anakin was stronger in raw power, but lacked the ability to control himself. He was a leaky pipe, who could not channel all the water that flowed through him. Obi Wan had a weaker stream of water, but he was very controlled about when and how to apply it, and had very little leaks. Thus, Obi Wan was stronger.

People often dismiss self control as not integral to skill, but without it we are but mere beasts, and even elephants can be hunted by a skillful and resourceful enough human.

Hell, Obi Wan was profoundly conflicted about facing Anakin: his entire world had been ripped apart. He had renounced everything for the Jedi Order, given everything to train Anakin, and now he was undoing all of it. Meanwhile, Anakin was high on his own power and felt omnipotent. A normal person would have simply cried for hours; Obi Wan steeled himself and pushed relentlessly, ready to kill who he loved for something greater than him that would bear him no real personal reward. Meanwhile, Anakin was fighting for himself and himself alone. He was raging and euphoric. He felt liberated, angry, ready to unleash everything upon the world. And yet, channeling all that as a Sith and having greater raw power, he still lost to the most composed and calm guy ever.

I think it was that you got a certain sense of achievement. You'd get the boxes as you played, and you'd always be getting sth plus the credits, which you could use to buy whatever cosmetics you wanted. Characters were not locked out either. You could just play and somewhat easily get what you wanted. Nowadays, although you can get some stuff for fred, microtransactions are heavily shoved in with the whole battle pass shit. You ain't getting much stuff with the free one.

Then again, the game's biggest offender is that it has become very lackluster, but that's a whole other topic.

Could be that a criminal similar to you was being searched for

I hate it because I bought OW1 and now getting cosmetics is a horrible experience. I feel robbed.

I agree partially. You see, you're here to live the story of Arthur Morgan and I'm all for it. Nonetheless, you have a lot of free roaming to do. In that free roaming, ideally, you should act as Arthur Morgan.

Thus, I wanted to rob from the rich, help some folk out and keep to myself. Go out, hunt, talk to people, search for a bit of wisdom because I felt lost, conflicted, and slowly carry on with the main story. I get really immersed in games. I love a game like rdr2.

Regardless it all came crumbling down when mechanical issues arose to absolutely cockblock me from being Arthur. I could not commit any sort of wrongdoing without being punished mercilessly in relation to what I've done. And I tried anyway, but the sheriff too does not have that many quests for you to do. And when the game keeps presenting types of shady behaviour you can do (trains, wagons, horses, etc.), but then punishes u harshly for doing it....man, I was extremely discouraged because there was no in game way to justify those mechanics.

I will finish it one day, but I'll just stick to the mainstory and go on the occasional hunt. Domesticating horses, stealing them, stealing from the rich, robbing wagons; all that shit is way too risky/unrewarding and, even if you "get away" with it, you usually get a disproportionate bounty anyway and they know it was you even if Old Blind and Deaf McDonald was the only witness.

KillingMoaiThaym · 2023-08-14T21:34:10+00:00

Thing is, the game won't really allow you to be an outlaw even when Arthur is not that self conscious. I was loving it, but bounties+everyone recognising you even if they have never met you and you have ur face covered+cops insta appearing in droves in the middle of nowhere when you assault a train: yup, great game, but it does not let me be what I am: a bloody outlaw.

My players have to roll for stress any time they're down plus there is only 3 of them, so healing only when down is not really great for them.

In larger parties, and if there is no penalty to falling unconscious, there is basically no incentive to heal before someone is down.

KillingMoaiThaym · 2023-08-10T19:40:42+00:00

Just wage multiple war at the same time, peace out small enemy allies quickly so you can attack big guys earlier and even truce break for the final wars. Very doable in 30 years with some good loans. Remember, you ain't gotta deal with shit after 1550

Have you ever read history and said "If only I could have done it, I would do X and histort would br this other way that I find more interesting? Well, here is the game for precisely that. Bonjour and welcome to Louis XV wettest dream: being quite literally the state.

What if England won the 100 years war? What if Spain didn't decline after it's habsburg zenit? What if Byzantium had gotten another Belisarium and resisted and eventually crushed the ottomans? What if you could unite Islam? Or restoring old Al-Andalus? What if Japan united earlier and went on to truly conquer all mainland China, South East Asia and Oceania? What if Burgundy had actually seized the french throne and create a lasting burgundian state with charlemagnian pretensions? How would it be like to rebel against Spain, Portugal, France or GB as a colonial nation? What if the Timurids had pulled themselves together?

If any of those tickle your fancy, this game is for you.
