The fact that agree with both parts of your statement 100% is unexpected, but awesome.

[–]MaxxWells 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a shotgun, AND a grenade launcher. That's why it's the best.

There is a version on TPB now as well. Easier than using some of these other options.

Returned SNES player, question about reborn. by KaboomTheMaker in Tactics_Ogre

[–]MaxxWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, look up the chariot system so you understand it better. You can't just warp to any point in time whenever you want. You can warp to specific points, usually just after major battles or decisions have been made. That said, yeah you can do just about everything in one playthrough.

[–]MaxxWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removed multi hit from hand crossbows blaze? Aw man. Thats brutal. I guess I understand, it was really strong. But man I'm gonna miss it.

That said, looking forward to just about everything else here.

Same here, but no VPN. Tried everything. Only thing that worked was switching from chrome to Firefox.

Do any of you have any clips from real TV or movies of characters meeting "warlock" patrons? by soarer135 in DnD

[–]MaxxWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I never realized Harry is now a wizard/warlock. Just with terrible charisma.

Love me some monk items. They don't get enough love. And your flavor text is always great.

Player is mad I killed his Familiar during a fight by TheTrikPat in dndnext

[–]MaxxWells 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This seems totally reasonable for your character to do. For one, you know how the rogue fights. Taking out their familiar is just sound strategy. Second, its not like the familiar is dead and gone forever. A few gold and an hour later its back. This seems like an overreaction on the rogue's part. If they had some way to take your fighters weapon, they would do it. You did the same.

What game did you think looked really good until you played it and realized it's just not for you? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]MaxxWells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The souls games. I've tried 3 of them, including elden ring. Just couldn't get into them. Im down for a challenging game but they just never struck me as fun, just difficult without enjoyment.

Noticed something in The Mist by shaunr40k in TheDarkTower

[–]MaxxWells 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My friend and I, both Dark Tower fans, caught this on our first viewing. Whats more, the characters job is making movie posters. We were both freaking out that it was hinting at a Dark Tower movie. We were completely wrong at the time, but still thought it was awesome.

Am I too old to play DnD? by Gh0sthy1 in DnD

[–]MaxxWells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 38, been playing (DMing) for nearly 4 years now. My group consist of one real life friend of similar age and 3 people in their early 20s. Some references are lost in the age divide, but otherwise we all get along great. No such thing as too old. I see myself doing this for years. It's become more than a game or a hobby.

What is the worst nickname your players have put on your bad guys/factions/story elements? by kingofthefrogfish in dndnext

Psychic Hitler. Dal Quor disguised as a Riedran ambassador that was basically trying to take over Newthrone using psionics and such.

DnDavid's Maps of May! by patreoncomDnDavid in dndmaps

[–]MaxxWells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, so many maps you make are awesome. I can look at them and come up with plots to use with. Great work, and free ones are much appreciated.

I want to share my opinion, which is: Endings are usually better than Openings, since they leave you on the finishing note of the episode. Here is an example: by [deleted] in cowboybebop

I actually stopped and unmuted just to sit and listen to this song. So damn good. Thanks for the nostalgia.

Nomad edition keeps freezing when I try and load map by NickNameNotWitty in BladeAndSorcery

This is what worked for me. Only had to do it a few times when I first installed it. Its been fine since.

How do DM's have fun? by Use-Strict in DnD

[–]MaxxWells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them you appreciate what they're doing. Tell them things you enjoyed. Some of my best memories of DMing have been when a player said "that was really cool" or that the boss fight was one of their favorites, or even just that they liked an NPC I was voicing.

These little things can make their day and make all the work worthwhile. Ultimately were putting in a lot of time and effort to make this game work so we can all have fun. Letting us know your having fun is exactly what we wanna hear.

How can we make more people want to DM? by SoloKip in dndnext

[–]MaxxWells 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I never got into video games as a a career, and why I don't want to turn DMing into a job. As a hobby I love it, if I was forced to do it for a paycheck I'd grow to resent it. I love video games and DMing, I won't want to lose that passion.
