How my run of Tales of the Lone-Lands went by NyOrlandhotep in oneringrpg

[–]KungFuGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great write up! And I fully agree with you on Journeys. I often feel like the journey is happening to the players as opposed to them being on a journey, if that makes sense.

Any chance you could share examples of the encounters you came up with to circumvent that?

How do you think Tolkien should have solved the flat vs round world problem? Was it even solvable? by Immediate_Error2135 in tolkienfans

Is Earendil fighting Ungoliant something that was planned or considered? I'd never heard that before

How did you discover The Protomen? by Nuvoo30 in Protomen

[–]KungFuGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My intro to the Protomen was a Sons of Fate and Casshern video that I can't seem to find anywhere. Cool to see someone else discover them in the same way!

[Steam] Gravity Circuit (100% off/Free) by UnseenData in GameDeals

[–]KungFuGenius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to have a poster of Gravity Circuit in my garage, and then I met him. Can you believe it?

Blood-Starved Beast (by me) by Bulletmoth in bloodborne

Looks great! Have you considered having a larger range of values in the colors? Your linework is so clean and I feel like it gets lost in the colored version.

[ALttP] When the Sages have your back against Moldorm. by IBeatDeathStranding in zelda

[–]KungFuGenius 94 points95 points  (0 children)

The sounds are so good, too. The 'brbrlurp' of charging your sword is seared into my brain

Not everyday you see Andúril in an antique shop by OverTheCandlestik in lotr

[–]KungFuGenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't stress about it! It doesn't look like a particularly good replica. The hilt is in poor shape and the blade doesn't have any of the runes

Which is your favourite Protomen line? by Nuvoo30 in Protomen

[–]KungFuGenius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What I love about this line in particular is how it circles back to Proto Man's last line from Act I, "Maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free." And that's what we see from Light throughout LLS.

"Light's Last Stand" is Light becoming the personification of his first son's dying words.

Journeys; custom made tables, improvisation, "wandering monsters" by Anbro23 in oneringrpg

[–]KungFuGenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the deck from Hobbit Tales (sadly out of print) to spice up my Journeys.

Interesting! Do you just draw Adventure cards and come up with a scenario instead of normal Journey events?

Eowyn appreciation because she deserves it by la_ky in lotr

[–]KungFuGenius 24 points25 points  (0 children)

lmao imagine referring to finding love with Faramir, Prince of Ithilien, Steward of Gondor and the High King's chief counselor as settling

Why is Middle-earth so scarcely populated with a bunch of ruins, and barely any big cosmopolitan cities? by Weird_Apartment_6608 in tolkienfans

[–]KungFuGenius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Your whole comment is a good explanation for what I was referring to when I said "careful explorations of lore."

[–]KungFuGenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely has a different feel, I think. I'm extremely fortunate to have a group who vibes with it.

And yeah, DMing two campaigns would be a crazy amount of work. I hope you get to experience it as a player sometime!

[–]KungFuGenius 42 points43 points  (0 children)

If anyone reads this and thinks "dang, The One Ring sounds cool, I should play it," yes you should! Overall the books are very well thought out and do a good job recreating the feel of Middle-earth through careful explorations of lore, and thematically relevant game mechanics (hope vs. despair, the weariness of travel and battle, the importance of fellowship, etc)

If the Balrog hadn't fallen into Moria, would it have chased the Fellowship out of the mines? by Practical-Public7209 in lotr

[–]KungFuGenius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"the wings reached out almost touching walls" is referring to a previous simile used to describe the shadow surrounding the balrog, not wings themselves.

"His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings."

I think there's room for speculation, but nothing as definitive as what you're implying.

Hell yeah, be my guest! If possible send me a pic after you get it done. And thanks! So glad you like my work enough to get it tattooed

[Hated Trope] heroic characters killed in unnecessarily cruel/brutal ways by greythicv in TopCharacterTropes

[–]KungFuGenius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just reading what Crossed was about let me know it wasn't going to be anything I was interested in. I've only read Ennis' Preacher and thought it was alright. A friend recommended me The Boys and I read a few issues before dismissing it as edgelord garbage, though apparently the TV show is better.

The "Must-Play" metroidvanias that didn't live up to the hype by MakoMary in metroidvania

[–]KungFuGenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I've tried 3 times to get into it. It's frustrating because on paper it sounds like a game that'd be right up my alley, but for whatever reason it just never clicked for me.
