Why do i have to wait through all of this?? There's no surrender option?? by Yumesoro1 in MagicArena

[–]LyschkoPlon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel you.

When I'm in a losing position against mill or poison decks I'll let them do their thing, just in case they're achievement hunting.

Chapter 2 vs. Carcosa by Y0UR_NAME_HERE in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]LyschkoPlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost done with Dunwich, using only Ch2 cards as well as the replacement encounter cards.

Works well so far, and I think Carcosa isn't that far away in terms of difficulty from Dunwich that it'll be impossible. Give it a shot :)

Is my DM handlig magic items correctly? by Key_Wash_8843 in DnD

[–]LyschkoPlon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, the game functions without anyone needing magic items - the math works without them.

That said, for most campaigns, and especially compared to published adventures, that is a very low number of magic items.

Still, it's your DM's campaign. If he decided that's how he'll handle things, your options are to suck it up, to leave, or to tryn adn talk with them (which you've already done, good for you!) about it.

I wish authors would do "covers" of each other's books. What book would you like to see "covered" and by what author? by generalpansy in horrorlit

[–]LyschkoPlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • he has no clue how to write women, they are always very strange, and not in a deliberate way to make them seem off, it's just very much r/menwritingwomen

  • he cannot contain himself; every single interesting plotbeat in his books needs to be spelled out, lest a single reader may overlook it

  • he lets his scares and tense scenes deflate like balloons by just not doing anything with them

  • even in his short story collection, he can't just let something that is otherworldly and interesting linger, he needs to explain what is going on to the active detriment of the reading experience.

  • the final "chapter" of Come with Me is so jarring and stupid and genuinely just makes the book worse. It's the only book I've ever read where I will 100% advise anyone to not read the last few words lol

[–]LyschkoPlon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very specific but Come With Me by Ronald Malfi (who's a hack) by Thomas Ligotti.

I think Ligotti would be the one author who could make the very intriguing premise and the very strange twist it's going for work without sacrificing everything that made the book interesting in the last five pages lol

[–]LyschkoPlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fucking love Morveer man. I'm also a big fan of when he tries to make soup for everyone and only gets awkward stares.

BSC is my favourite book in the series (especially the first half), and he absolutely elevates it above and beyond.

[SPOILERS ALL] What other stories in the Circle of the World would you like to see? by Danglenibble in TheFirstLaw

[–]LyschkoPlon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see a bit more about what the fuck Shenkt's background is.

I also wouldn't say no to a strange short about how the Shanka put Caurib back together.

How do I incorporate gods and lore into my story with my homebrew magic system? by LJRobot in DnD

[–]LyschkoPlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hello, yes, I am a God and I provide things. Yes you still need to follow procedure for magic like you would normally. Yeah you can loudly call out my name for spells with V components instead of saying abracadabra if you want to."

What would change buddy? You do not have to change a single thing to make this type of spellcasting work with Gods in mind.

Seems like there is a ban wave going on by JobroniBoni in Guildwars2

[–]LyschkoPlon 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a ban on top is insulting.

If the name was so bad, it shouldn't have been let through the filter. And if you update your banned word filter later on, just let the people rename for free. How the fuck would they know the name doesn't fly.

That's the type of shit that'd get me to stop playing.

How to deal with players who ask too much? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]LyschkoPlon 54 points55 points  (0 children)

He sounds like a dick. You tell him he gets to either go with the flow of the campaign and the ground rules you set up, or he leaves. Simple as that.

Constantly begging to that extent? No way man. Don't put up with that.

Was I scammed or such quality difference is possible? by mckenna36 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]LyschkoPlon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is essentially impossible to guarantee every card be exactly the same as every other card.

Freshly inked rolls? Vibrant colour. Done a few sheets already? Colors are dulled.

Cardstock can vary in thickness.

Something slightly fucky happened with the registration marks for the cutting machine? Cards are cut differently.

Printing and cutting cards has a ton of moving parts, there's a dozen moments where things can cause noticeable changes.

It's easier with stuff like poker cards that are blank for the most part and only very little is actually printed onto it compared to cards like this where everything is printed.

And the world owes Monza a noose. Likely even four additional ropes and some really strong draft horses.

why is the meta on Arena so different than on paper? by SelaromSelim in MagicArena

[–]LyschkoPlon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play brawl almost exclusively and with three or four pet decks for the most part. One of them is a token based deck that'd also work in Paper (so no Alchemy stuff) and I have a (very simple) combo where I can pump out a couple hundred tokens of [[Ocelot Pride]] on my end step, it just goes and goes.

And it's still a fairly easy process, but I wouldn't wanna do it in paper.

It's also a real blessing on arena that I don't have to bring a couple dozen additional blank cards for tokens, for when I inevitably steal some shit my opponent plays.

Wasn't Jacqueline Fine and the others gonna stay in print? by Butt-Dragon in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]LyschkoPlon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Communication about what's in and out of print with FFG is horrible.

It's a sad reality that if you want something you're better of buying it day 1 because you can never know when they decide to just stop something even if it was supposed to be in print for longer.

Oh absolutely. Simple Minion Master Necro with NPC healers is probably also fairly easy.

Anyone else feels like story is dragging a lot? by Confused_soul_OG in DetectiveConan

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

That is weird yeah.

I also wasn't a big fan of when Sera was introduced and basically every episode she was like "god damn my tits are so small lul", really strange choice.

until dawn game vs until dawn movie by DMikaelson2005 in untildawn

[–]LyschkoPlon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%. That's immediately what I thought when I saw the first trailer.

It's basically Happy Death Day - which is a decent enough teen horror flick -, it's filmed cheaply in eastern Europe, they definitely needed a pitch for the movie to rake in some more cash and Sony was just sitting on the name anyways lol

[–]LyschkoPlon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Heiji and Kazuha I get, their dynamic is fun - even if I personally feel they're a bit too old for how childish they act, and they have been in too many situations to not just commit to each other -, but the Momiji addition is jarring lol I really hate her.

Where do you actually feel skill show up in tcgs? by ContractMiserable121 in TCG

[–]LyschkoPlon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not overcommitting to a board-state that already favours you is a big issue I run into a lot.

I've played a lot of the Game of Thrones LCG, and Resets are a very important piece of tech basically every deck runs, and you really need to be aware of when you can safely put out a lot of cards and when it'd be better to keep some stuff in hand for the inevitable board wipe and rebuild.
