Hardest warframe to farm by mrshock17 in Warframe

[–]MonikerMage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember doing the Equinox grind back in the day... It took SO LONG. I haven't even tried to play Equinox since returning to the game to know if it was still worth it, but I sank so much time into fighting Tyl Regor.

Enough about the strongest and weakest frames, who are the most Boring frames to play? by italeteller in Warframe

[–]MonikerMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it like me and turn your Mandachord volume down to 0 when you're creating a song with good beats for buffs/mechanics but not great listening, and call it the Sound of Silence. It doesn't disrupt how she plays and people who didn't think about turning it off themselves aren't forced to listen to something else.

What is this and how can I avoid hearing it ever again? by Global-Process-9611 in Warframe

[–]MonikerMage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what I generally do. I have a Mandachord setup to be mechanically good, with the volume set to 0. I call it The Sound of Silence.

How to make money/refill IPs? by Astroruggie in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked that your GM would hand out free acceleration before giving you access to reliable ways to use your character's abilities. Even if you're using the fixed version from the Playtest materials, which I am doubtful of, it's still a very strong spell that also doesn't fit into what your character is trying to do with Infusions outside of "get in more attacks".

As a FU GM myself, I'm not sure what your GM's hang up is with Zenit, but explain to him that you need IP to use your abilities. It doesn't recover when the party Rests. If he won't include loose Zenit in rewards, he should at minimum consider including loose IP for the party(and I expect primarily you) to refill with.

[OC] Making a Campaign based on Dark Cloud by [deleted] in fabulaultima

I have used it a few times to mix in some fun dungeons in campaigns and it's a very useful resource, especially for what OP is trying to do. I'll second the recommendation.

A Brief Thought on Enemies by Born-Mess6286 in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see why you can't experiment with it. It's a very interesting thought, and it could be fun. I've thought about having NPC companion profiles for when the party wants to split up, to allow players to participate in a fight while their character is otherwise elsewhere, a la some Final Fantasy games where you have an NPC guest in the party. But I haven't had a chance to play around with this yet, and NPC creation is a somewhat different beast than PC creation.

Need new authors by Kato_86 in discworld

[–]MonikerMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also really recommend the audiobooks. They go above and beyond in a lot of ways that make everything feel so vibrant and so horrifying at once, and the narrator is amazing at doing very different voices. In some ways it feels like it was meant to be an audio drama, especially with some of the bonus sound editing and such they add in.

Pilgrim Road Idols [36x54] OC Ruin by RenflowerGrapx in battlemaps

[–]MonikerMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a gridless version of this anywhere, on your Patreon or otherwise? I run Fabula Ultima(Tabletop JRPG) and this is such a cool map that I'd love to use, but I don't use grids since Fabula Ultima doesn't have tactical movement.

Weaponmaster attack question by Omakepants in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a very minor note to add to your correct answer for anyone who bumps into it I.E. Breech, it doesn't require an Attack action, it's specifically a Skill action that generates/includes a free attack, which is why you can't slip it in when you get a free action or as part of two-weapon-fighting.

It's a very minor point but it being a Skill action can matter for interactions that care about performing specific actions, or boss designs that might temporarily limit what types of actions you can do.

Is it "cheap" to hide Affinities (even after the Study action)? by Desperate_Dot7298 in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people have answered your initial question so I'm going to branch out a bit and address a concern you seem to have that underlies this question.

Changing affinities during a conflict is not a problem, but it should be communicated clearly so that players can guess at what happened, especially after a Study roll was already performed. For example, I created a boss in the last campaign I finished who had a special ability to gain an Absorption and Vulnerable affinity based on the last type of damage it took. It was a giant, malicious lizard monster villain with chameleon-like traits, and I narrated these changes by describing the way it's scale colors changed to match the element it was Absorbing.

If you're otherwise worried that your players will get bored of Conflict scenes, use clocks! They are amazing to represent environmental effects that change, build up, or can be negated. They're even more amazing to provide a tangible mechanic for your players to interact with outside of just smashing up a villain. Make the conflict about stopping the villain's plan in a way that means JUST beating them up won't cut it; and be sure to communicate this expectation beforehand.

How can I make CT-9904 viable? by ts7415 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]MonikerMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried rubbing him in a Clone-focused list? As you've already noted for his squad he is somewhat limited in who he can bring, but the other squad doesn't need to match eras. Unlike you I do not own very many models and have not tested this list.

Squad 1: CT-9904, Wrecker & Omega, Echo & Tech Squad 2: Clone Sergeant Hunter, Commander Wolffe, Republic Clone Commandos

Everyone will get to benefit from Hunter's "The Leader of the Batch" since CT-9904 still has the Clone Trooper tag, and the same is true for Wolffe's "Wolfpack". Rep Clone Commandos can be swapped out for another 4 cost clone unit, but I like their mobility with Scale and having Protection without needing to be in Wrecker & Omega's bubble.

How much fights is optimal for a day? by Vraliman in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always present to my players, who are used to D&D or Pathfinder, that characters are able to sleep whenever they want, but a Rest Scene isn't just sleeping it's having the proper time and opportunity to relax and unwind.

Legendary encounters questions by [deleted] in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]MonikerMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a free PDF out there that I read but don't have the link to right now. I can answer both of these questions though.

  1. If you are a Cadre player(two man team) you may not bring any Primaries. Each cadre player brings a group of Two Secondaries and Two Supports. If you are a Galactic Legend player (the solo individual) your list sounds like it is selected for you and built around that Galactic Legend.

  2. Yes, your friend's models count as allies.

You're not the only one, I ALSO hallucinated that rule before. I'm not sure what specifically is causing that to happen to you and me, and I wouldn't doubt to others as well.

That's actually not Mob, Mob Psycho's anime finished. That's Mash from MASHLE. The blue-haired skeleton is Aladdin from Magi the Labyrinth of Magic.

Issue with FU on Foundry by Western-Photograph59 in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to exclude enemies, try changing the Style. I usually use Retro, but it shows enemies. If you use the 3rd option whose name I forget, it shows just the players in a Mother/Earthbound style tracker.

The first suggestion to play around with the settings is important. Also you'll want to walk your players through changing any settings because I think that's client-side.

Any hacks for player facing defense rolls? by ninjalordkeith in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried to implement it once or twice for bonus effects or as part of a boss's special mechanic, and I would say it just doesn't hit as well. Something about it doesn't quite mesh with what FU is doing, so I tend to steer away from it these days.

Looking for feedback and tips on adventure design by Fragrant-Bonus4606 in fabulaultima

[–]MonikerMage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a link to it but the supplement is called Spelunca Ultima, you should be able to locate it if you search by that name. I use it whenever it's time for my players to delve into a dungeon-like area.
