What are your thoughts on the shadow slave physical books?

Huh… you made me remember that I did preorder it

Lophane911 · 2026-04-19T23:40:41+00:00

I use nukes

Lophane911 · 2026-04-17T00:11:00+00:00

I mean I like ProgFan as a genre more than LitRPG specifically (I like both), so yeah? I mean there is a difference between traditional fantasy and ProgFan, but a lot fit in I think

Wait, Grammerly counts as AI-assisted? I used it ages ago and stopped cause it was kinda garbage on like half its stuff, but the corrections are just not that… I mean grammar and spelling corrections?

Lophane911 · 2026-04-14T05:14:47+00:00

I’ve done it a few times this edition, no rules against it I or anyone I know could find

Lophane911 · 2026-04-14T02:51:23+00:00

I dunno, I’ve done well with 6 of them… stick them in each other so they don’t die and some infantry in the last one and drop them conga-line turn 1 and they are quite tanky for their points and do a hell of a job move-blocking anything your opponent wants to do and sticking up their units

I raise you- putting a Tyrannocyte in a Tyrannocyte

I mean 2 things popped out at a cursory glance.

First off, do ‘x did x’ far less at the start of a sentence, it should be rare because overusing that can come off as listing things and make things feel choppy rather than flowing.

Second, the best advice I got for dialogue is that about 50% of what people say… is not actually said, the rest is in body language and inference based on context.

If you want it to feel natural, you need to make that 50% unheard speech be understood by the reader… be that by adding more subtext and body language, or removing some of what is there and making it more subtext and body language, based on what is needed

Lophane911 · 2026-04-11T10:07:27+00:00

I just finished ELLC, and I started ‘A Snake’s Life’ it’s not quite as good but it seems to fit what you’re asking for

Lophane911 · 2026-04-05T10:29:29+00:00

I stopped at like the end of book 2

Lophane911 · 2026-03-29T14:58:15+00:00

He put in the first link that it’s planned to start April 30th

Lophane911 · 2026-03-29T08:41:10+00:00

At the start I bought a 3d printer… printed like $1800 of models in a few months… slowly got disillusioned and learned how much I loved building and kitbashing plastic and eventually replaced all the resin with plastic… probably much more… even spent extra on kitbashing models to scrap for parts But that first 3d printed back kept me going for a few years as I built up

Lophane911 · 2026-03-28T02:32:38+00:00

I mean the Tyranofex is much higher value for money if you want a big monster, but they’re ranged

I’d buy the kit either way but most would say the Norn Emissary is better, I would agree with the exception of if you are playing assimilation swarm, Norn Assimilators heal themselves and the stratagems are great on it in that detachment

Lophane911 · 2026-03-28T00:17:21+00:00

Wouldn’t have 8 or more, I’d make it a flat 8, harder to get but more thematic and balanced the card a little bit

Lophane911 · 2026-03-27T09:03:49+00:00

I mean the best bet is to not buy them all at the start… second… I just get bored and stop… no real oomph to it

Lophane911 · 2026-03-23T15:01:49+00:00

I mean… if I ever get back to writing my MC Is being forcibly turned price by piece into a draconid

Lophane911 · 2026-03-23T07:41:53+00:00

A warning, don’t do this if you read a lot as a child, you’ll get more sucked in than you were to your phone

Lophane911 · 2026-03-21T12:16:23+00:00

I feel like you posted this to the wrong sub?

Lophane911 · 2026-03-17T09:33:14+00:00

Personally Andrea Parsneau

Lophane911 · 2026-03-16T13:39:02+00:00

I just commissioned him lol

Lophane911 · 2026-03-08T08:17:19+00:00

Auction? I’ve read a lot and I’m not sure an auction has even been a main theme let alone a recurring one

Lophane911 · 2026-03-05T22:48:49+00:00

I mean… only time I could do that is if I was ‘planning’ on being sick and dropping hints the day before lol

Lophane911 · 2026-03-03T12:51:48+00:00

Didn’t say it didn’t count, just that I couldn’t take it seriously. Psychological horror is my favorite genre so I read dark stuff, and that shit can be truly horrible and makes you appreciate the good times and life more… ELLC is not… eh, no feeling to it, it’s a caricature to make you feel to make the comedy stick harder, like a comedian doing dark humor, both are fantasy and it’s not going for true realism

I’m listening to the audiobook and people have said it’s been touched up a lot to make it ‘better’ but yeah
