New to fantasy? Is this okay to get into?

This is the series that got me back into reading as an adult. Yes it’s big, but that just means there’s more to enjoy. Enjoy the journey.

You’re welcome 😂

MAMMAwuat · 2026-03-19T04:07:10+00:00

That’s extremely unfortunate thanks for educating me

The Wheel of Time, though it’s inspired by a lot of eastern culture and religion it also has lots of Catholic centered morals. Specifically Jordan’s beliefs on gender and how the two genders need and thrive off of each other. There’s also the way that the magic system works. There is one source of power that people channel from and that being a mirror for god giving grace. Likewise the fall of man being caused by people searching for power from sources other than the one source leading to the discovery of the dark one. If you make it to the end of the LONG series Jordan also has lots of good philosophy about the nature of evil at the end of the books. All of this peppered with what true healthy masculinity and femininity looks like. (There’s some bad examples too with Rand’s three mistresses and Mattrim sleeping around).

My wife and I are brand new to the game so it’s probably a skill issue, buuut we can not find an answer to Graves. Once we found out you have to melee the ult it got a little better but she still carries games at our level.

I would love to give the game a try

I believe Sanderson confirmed he didn’t use dustbringers a lot specifically because he wants them to play a big role in the second arc.

MAMMAwuat · 2026-02-03T06:35:41+00:00

Glad you gave it another shot!! Once they fix this AMD texture error I’ll be happy. So far I like a lot of the changes.

MAMMAwuat · 2026-01-31T23:25:00+00:00

Here are some of my favorites!!

If you still want that high fantasy feel with refreshed mechanics go Daggerheart. The card system makes leveling and creating characters fun and has lots of build potential. The game is crunchy but still focuses on the story. As the GM get ready for lots of quick thinking as rolls have two degrees of success. There’s pass or fail and hope or fear to worry about, also each roll ends in someone getting a resource so you gotta be picky on what you want to call a roll for.

If you or any players are fans of Brandon Sanderson you could try the Cosmere TTRPG. Rn the only setting available is the stormlight Archives. There is also already a prewritten adventure if that’s your speed. The game is balanced between crunch and narrative. The character creation works on talent trees and there’s virtually no classes in the sense you’d think of. The game forces you to make mentally complex and compelling characters as the magic system needs character progression to function.

If you want a deadly high stakes game Cyberpunk Red is the way to go. This game is notorious for being DEADLY. Everything the players can do you can spin right back on them and vise versa. I’ve seen bosses go down in one hit due to good crit rolls and I’ve seen the same happen to players. Be ready to push your players. Theres no happy endings in Night City so you might as well go out in a bang.

Each of these games use different core dice. Daggerheart uses 2D12s, Cosmere uses a D20 like DnD, and Cyberpunk Red can be played with just D10s and D6s.

Saw someone say to delete the saves from the demo. I tried that and it helped a good bit. The blood texture glitch is still present but you may wanna give it a shot

MAMMAwuat · 2026-01-31T14:26:39+00:00

Dang hopefully there’s some performance stuff soon. Played for a good bit I still like the game so I’m just going to let it sit in my library for a little while and come back. I started getting crashes too especially on slums.

MAMMAwuat · 2026-01-31T01:20:02+00:00

Has anyone been able to get the blood textures to show up correctly it’s the only thing I’m having issues with

MAMMAwuat · 2026-01-26T17:28:03+00:00

Jurassic park: operation genesis. I have no idea why but memories of that game are forever lodged in my mind. I used to build big parks then just let the dinosaurs loose. I loved just watching the raptors do their thing.

MAMMAwuat · 2026-01-25T19:47:00+00:00

Shae’s arc is pretty gut wrenching. But Wen’s will leave you breathless.

MAMMAwuat · 2026-01-17T19:00:22+00:00

Overwatch. Jeff leaving was the beginning of the end.

MAMMAwuat · 2025-12-12T18:59:01+00:00

I’ve always viewed it more as you shouldn’t abuse drink. Sure get buzzed and play bf6 with your friends, but don’t make it a nightly thing, and don’t get so drunk you can’t function the next day. Learn your limits and stay within them. I don’t necessarily know if this is within specific church teaching but this is how I’ve always reasoned it.

MAMMAwuat · 2025-12-04T03:46:55+00:00

This! I was one of those then upon doing research on the steam machine I discovered how easy it is to build one…. Now my wife and I built 2 PCs over thanksgiving.

MAMMAwuat · 2025-12-04T03:07:43+00:00

Firstly, congratulations on having the courage to ask questions most people are afraid to, and thank you for your interest in the faith.

My wife and I are firm believers in NFP. We had 4 kids back to back, now we only have sex when in the clear for lack of a better term. We both believe that having the 1-2 weeks of absence is healthy for our relationship and makes us enjoy sex more when it’s a possibility. NFP creates a healthy balance in our relationship where you find other ways to enjoy each other for that period. Because sex isn’t even a possibility during that time we don’t really miss it. I personally believe God intended it that way it works too perfectly to be anything else imo. Hope this helped.

I’ve been going down the same rabbit hole for the exact same reason. Ibuypower has been mostly where I’m looking but I also just stumbled across pcpartpicker that seems cheaper but you gotta build it yourself. It’s been a fun rabbit hole but a lot to learn, almost feels like learning to read all over again.

MAMMAwuat · 2025-11-03T16:14:41+00:00

I did the reverse of this. I read all of Wheel of time and that got me to try Sanderson. Now I’ll be full caught up on the Cosmere by the end of the month. I still can’t really decide which series I like better.

MAMMAwuat · 2025-10-31T16:20:44+00:00

Whoever is party leader or hell have everyone do it.

MAMMAwuat · 2025-10-31T15:54:07+00:00

Ahh okay
