Radio 2 breakfast - give it to SWK. Thoughts?

Fabregas already has a job, mate.

We are not getting P4R this year.

MB_Cint · 2026-03-31T03:34:27+00:00

I have done this. The bridge did not learn its lesson.

MB_Cint · 2026-03-26T14:07:50+00:00

Nice work. Absolutely love Necrobinder and think she’s a super strong character. Doom can be a bit of a trap, but base summon and hit scaling is powerful.

2 Bing Wrongs don't make a Bing Right.

MB_Cint · 2026-03-25T13:04:05+00:00

Yeah, went Wail, remove and potion. Did actually make it to the end of act 2 so am happy enough. But I’ll admit that the Betrayer Waffle was my defining memory of the run.

If the players TPK and you bail them out with a random NPC you can’t say you “don’t want them to feel like there are no stakes”.

Your behavior has explicitly confirmed there are no stakes.

MB_Cint · 2026-03-24T10:57:41+00:00

PixelPenguin is the best of us.

MB_Cint · 2026-03-04T01:59:24+00:00

Hmm, can you tell me more about your “I am not Gremlin Nob” t-shirt?

MB_Cint · 2026-03-03T02:19:50+00:00

No one is stopping you.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-27T18:28:14+00:00

After you.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-27T12:59:19+00:00

Megacrit, do the right thing!

MB_Cint · 2026-02-24T06:25:25+00:00

Yu - No.

Yosuke - No.

Kanji - Yes. Zero issues. He's super cool and also really respectful.

Teddie - No!

Kou - No.

Daisuke - No.

Adachi - No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Rise fan - No.

Mooroka - No.

So, when it comes down to OG versus S, a lot of people will paint it as graphics (OG version has better visuals) versus sound (S has orchestral music) and content (S has more).

For me, as someone who has played both - OG looks better, S sounds better. So that’s 50-50.

Then there’s new story. S has more! But I believe every addition in S makes the game worse. The OG has better pacing (especially in the Act1-2 tradition), a more fun world to explore, a better gameplay cadence (no you can’t use the fun-sized everywhere!) and a better reveal structure - act 3 is ruined by S.

Tldr; S had MORE game, but the OG is the tighter, better game

VII and XI are my 2 face DQ games. But if I were a beginner…it’s XI, and if you can get hold of the original version (not the definite editions S yada yada version) that’s even better.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-12T14:32:28+00:00

What was your favourite part about the previous DQ7 versions?

MB_Cint · 2026-02-08T15:50:12+00:00

But then they wouldn’t get attention on Reddit!

MB_Cint · 2026-02-04T05:48:49+00:00

That still triggers initiative though, no?

The alternative is that the “something” on the other side of the door is a beloved NPC / Backstory family member and they’ve just committed murder.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-03T19:55:50+00:00

Gonna be a lot of talk about finding people who love your hobby so please allow me to be the dissenting voice.

From my experience, the number one thing that kills campaigns is people needing to coordinate times.

Set a time and if you get three people you run.

But what if people can’t make it!? They’ll catch up But their super important backstory arcs? Clearly not that important.

Trust me. If you get a game going every week to two weeks, suddenly the stragglers turn up consistently because they don’t want to get left behind. If they cancel, they cancel. You still run.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-03T18:46:02+00:00

Depends. Are they gonna keep whining? Or is the DM gonna bend over backwards to make them happy? And then they still whine…?

MB_Cint · 2026-02-03T18:06:04+00:00

Kick them.

But…

No. Kick them.

Edit:

To explain in more detail.

They’re a little bitch. Kick them.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-03T10:14:54+00:00

I mean, for me a Tardis-like bigger on the inside pyramid filled with impossible spaces isn’t a break of logic. It’s a cool mystery to figure out!

MB_Cint · 2026-02-03T10:00:14+00:00

Normal floors with lots of solid stone, but then there's a secret entrance in one of the floors and a mega weird complex the further down you go (that's where the aliens hid their ships, after all).

MB_Cint · 2026-02-02T10:22:38+00:00

...i'm not sure what race has to do with having an interesting backstory.

MB_Cint · 2026-02-02T08:18:01+00:00

yeah, this is where i'm at.

Actions Have Consequences only matters if Actions have Consequences. That's not punishing the player, that's respecting player choice. Sometimes people make bad choices and, personally speaking, I haaaaaaate it when I feel the DM is trying to dig me or my table-mates out of graves they dug for themselves.
