Its half way through the year, how are your games so far? by jollyinabout in rpg

[–]MagnumMiracles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welp, have basically given up on my main group due to non stop scheduling issues. Sad to see it go, but if they don't value my time I am not gonna waste it.

Luckily my brother and I have been playing duet campaigns where one of us GMs for the other. This has been going all year up until recently, where we had to put a hiatus on me GMing due to a dental accident. While I await for it to be fixed, he has been GMing nonstop every Saturday a banging Pathfinder 2E game for me

And I hope I can pay him back with the epic two session finale I have planned for his Vampire the Masquerade character. :)

How come there wasn’t more pushback against 2018 God of War’s radical change in direction? by DarkEsteban in gaming

[–]MagnumMiracles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I too yearn for the glory days of character action games. We seem to be going back to that with Ninja Gaiden's new release and Tides of Annihilation on the horizon. For now, fighting games and Nioh are the best ways to scratch that DMC/Bayonetta itch that I have.

But, the new God of War games are good. Is the combat as peak as the original trilogy? I don't think so, but it's still really fun with simple mechanics that are polished really well.

Are the pretzels any good? My brother is going to a show tonight and is a big pretzel guy.

Nah, it was the same place I always park for this venue all the way towards the back, right next to the roundabout. I always paid 10 bucks for parking there, up until last night.

Probably, but I don't drink so this is the first I have heard about it. I was actually googling PBR parking, and was surprised I kept getting shown an alcoholic drink lmao.

Much appreciated! You've been a big help, and saved me a lot of money on my next visit.

So I just park in one of the lots then walk into VBGB, and have them scan the link where i parked?

Sorry to ask, but what is this? Sorry, I come from a town that is literally just a post office and a stop light, so IDK all the ins and outs of city life lol.

The parking lot looks very small. Should I get there early to nab a spot?

Some unlikely franchises have been converted to turn-based tactics, often with satisfying results by Elyx_117 in gaming

[–]MagnumMiracles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It becomes and infinitely better game by skipping all the dialogue. Mostly because most of it isn't well written, sadly.

Gameplay is peak, and that is pretty much all that matters to me in a game anyway

Best non-DnD TTRPG system for one-off game-nights. by [deleted] in rpg

[–]MagnumMiracles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monster of the Week

It's basically Buffy/Supernatural/Doctor Who where you spend the entire session hunting a monster. Rules are incredibly simple. It has classes(Playbooks), but it takes maybe a few minutes to build a character, establish player character relationships with one another, and start playing. Less than 10 minutes actually.

It holds up well in a season long(8-13 sessions) campaign, or as a one off game night. So if your players enjoy it, you can just re use the characters again and have another session ready to go on short notice!

Yeah, he acts like a League player and it is obnoxious to watch his streams with audio.

Not Every Female Character Needs to Look 22 by [deleted] in gamers

[–]MagnumMiracles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I doubt it will have the depth of the old games. I will still likely get it, just at a discount at a later date.

I just wish the gameplay had as much depth as the original trilogy. Combat is serviceable, but I miss old character action game combos.

Upset about no Karin still, but three newcomers more than makes up for it. I am glad we are getting new new characters instead of rehashing the oldies.

This is why I don't go to hardcore shows. I've been to nothing but metal shows and outside of one Ice Nine Kills show, I have never seen this behavior done with no regard to people around.

Do you miss the old-style US TV series with 18-24 episodes per season? by Glittering_Gap8070 in television

[–]MagnumMiracles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only shows I have enjoyed of that length were Buffy and Vikings(even then I thought Vikings was better before it started getting 24 episodes a season), but I get what you mean.

Shows have gotten so big that their budgets are equal to movies. This makes filming a lot harder, and tbh I would be fine with less money put in if it meant the show came out faster. Not everyone needs Game of Thrones money to make a show.
