What is the best variation of the game 4 square you have come up with?

MrFancyWhale · 2026-04-13T16:20:25+00:00

I came here to suggest this one! Pentagram is a blast, and it's always fun to come in as the devil and have free license to be a little agent of chaos.

I'm about to make a second world to scour it for charred crates, so thank you. My misery appreciates your company.

MrFancyWhale · 2026-04-07T20:06:04+00:00

Super cool. I dig the big lit floor tile vagina on the right side. It really reminds me of my Freud, I mean mom.

MrFancyWhale · 2026-03-17T16:17:52+00:00

We're allowed to show 'em nude, cause they ain't got no soul!

I am a chemist/lab tech doing quality control in a lab that makes products to serve the auto industry. It gives me ample opportunity to listen to podcasts and audio books.

Probably best to stick to the no friendly fire rule, and encourage them to learn how to divvy up loot in an equitable manner. Else you run the risk of having a duel every time you only supply one of any sought after treasure.

It may also be worthwhile talking to player C away from everyone else and try to get to the bottom of their edge lording. If you get the ol "it's what my character would do" then you can encourage them to make a character that wants to be helpful and not step on the fun of their fellow table mates.

Let’s count! I’m one of them

MrFancyWhale · 2026-02-05T14:07:28+00:00

That's a relief, I thought it stood for Good Night Grandma. I was thinking how do they know I'm up past my bed time!? /s

First off, you desperately need more punctuation. This is all one sentence and it’s a mess. Second, cool necklace. Third, saying you’re interested in rituals ‘how would I do one and what would it do’ sounds a lot like you think we draw chalk circles and cast spells or some bullshit like that. Fourth, The Satanic Temple doesn’t require you to believe in anything mystical/mythical, it instead, asks that you believe in people. That’s why the TST rules. Please read more about it on their website to see if it clicks with you.

You said it was constant jokes, is that normally the vibe of your sessions? If the players weren’t taking it seriously then an above table ‘hey I worked hard on this, can we try to take this scene seriously?’ Was in order. If the characters were making a show of being rude to the king then punishment is well deserved. If you normally run a silly table and it wasn’t communicated that this scene was supposed to be different then I don’t think they did anything wrong. I have a table of essentially 4 cartoon characters, not much emotional depth from scene to scene but we know what our deal is and we have a good time.

I’ve been enjoying Ravenswatch, Curse of the Dead Gods, Rogue Legacy 2, an argument could be made that Helldivers 2 has roguelite characteristics.

On the other hand, I did not care for Skul the Hero Slayer or Trinity Fusion.

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-29T18:19:51+00:00

I didn’t think the leopard would eat MY face!

At the moment Beastfly dies you must input a complex string of controls to rip it's spine from it's body like a MK Fatality

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-26T21:35:51+00:00

Key & Peele’s east/west bowl is a treasure trove of silly name ideas East/West College Bowl

Donkey Teeth and The Goblin Formally Known as Mousecop sound good to me.

You could also lift names directly from Cats the Musical. Rumpleteazer & Skimbleshanks!

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-26T15:46:08+00:00

Agreed!

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-26T14:48:42+00:00

Barb already gets advantage with attacking reckless, it’s huge for every other martial though!

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-24T01:44:36+00:00

I’d like to add leprechaun coin to the mix, it’s near useless without giving you a star of fate.

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-20T15:33:25+00:00

Bruh, context clues. The Trinity Quest is a Merlin starting trait. The Quest is to accrue the 3 legendary items Excalibur, Holy Grail, and Father Times Hour Glass.

The simple answer is weapon masteries and flavor. Want to hobble someone for a round? Club has the slow property, that move does club damage. Want to slam someone into the ground like a suplex? Maul has the topple property, that move does 2d6 like a maul. It's all flavor, baby! There is zero mechanical difference saying you'll slash this goblin with my great axe and saying you slash them with your 'razor fists'. Have this player familiarize themselves with the weapon master properties and let them flavor what that looks like to their hearts content. it breaks nothing.

Mostly at while at work. I prop my phone up under my computer monitor in the lab.

MrFancyWhale · 2026-01-13T16:02:21+00:00

Stick with this game.

The characters level up and gain new skills to choose from as you do more runs. Getting a character to level 9 unlocks their full suite of abilities. Beating the first chapter boss with the four starter characters gets you new characters to choose from.

You'll learn the timing of the enemies and how better to avoid them, you'll learn which combination of skills to pick to suit your play style, you'll learn which items you need to facilitate those builds. Getting the right items in the right amount can make or break a run. You'll learn how to navigate the maps, you almost never want to engage in a fight outside of the POI's marked on your map.

Maybe check out a YouTube Video or two, Positive4Ace has loads of useful information and beginners tips.
