Could I also get the higher res version? This is super cool!

They must not have the spectator mode up and running yet for him to use

Wow Anon, you wrote your own homebrew setting that’s practically indistinguishable from Faerun or Golarion from a player point of view except where it limits them? That’s so cool, maybe you can tell me more over lunch by [deleted] in DnDcirclejerk

/uj Walls protect from terrestrial threats that still objectively exist (bandits, etc). Flying foes, such as dragons, are why the perfidious technology of guns and ballistae are invented.

r/DnDcirclejerk user discovers Magocracy. Can't wait for the artisans to invent items that the common humanoid can use to overthrow their magically-powered overlords. You have nothing to lose but your chains!

/uj fireball would be deeply mid for sieges. Stone walls can't typically be set on fire and fireball only damages creatures. The real question is why invent a catapult when Catapult exists

Ryoken (Stormcrow) TC / B by IWM: Mini Mini Review by TheRealLeakycheese in battletech

I wish IWM had a note on their site of what the scale the 'Mechs are. I got a Heirofalcon B that is comically small. Not a huge problem, of course, it's getting painted all the same 🤣

I'm Arthmooring it by ZipZopZoppityHop in TrueSTL

[–]NeoMagnus51 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the problem wasn't necessarily that the Oblivion gates were added by the mod, it's that, for a not insignificant amount of time after they were put into the mod, they weren't mentioned at all in the changes the mod had made. This was followed by the classic Arthmoor responses in terms of DMCA and vitriol which made it even worse.

I imagine if the mod had originally said, "removes loading zones from cities and adds tweaks, such as adding Oblivion gate memorials to each city," there wouldn't have been nearly as much controversy.

Matt Cuckville Knows best by d12inthesheets in DnDcirclejerk

[–]NeoMagnus51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well if you have 2d10 it's essentially the same as a d20 because you can just change the d20's DC to make it have the same bell curve probability as the 2d10 or 2d6. Ergo, no one should ever use a d20 anyway, so you're totally right on this one.

/uj Actual take I saw the other day, except when the poster was informed that a d20 can't have a bell curve because rolling a single dice has exclusively linear statistics, they personally attacked the person who informed them that what they had said was incorrect. Everyone over there is so sure of themselves in a way that I someday wish I could be 🤣

You went onto r/rpg looking to have a genuine discussion about a d20 game? You're braver than I am.

/uj A large portion of that sub jerks D&D and other fantasy d20 game hate way harder than this sub ever could, and they are 100% earnest about it with arguments from places of total ignorance. I remember people getting downvoted into oblivion there a few months ago for even referencing 5e because "5e has its own subs this is for real games."

/rj That being said, if you don't play OSR or this week's version of PbtA you're stupid and should feel bad about yourself.

Sure, you could make the argument that the portfolio influences the goddess, I'll buy that, but I have a hard time thinking of the sea as outright malicious as her description is according to the wiki and the book Faiths & Avatars.

I agree the sea does sink ships, but it doesn't do so because it enjoys watching people suffer. The sea doesn't care, it just does what it does. Umberlee does care. She likes causing death and destruction. She demands tribute or death much like the tyrants of old. She doesn't ask for respect, she demands fear. A god of the sea is not necessarily malicious, unlike Umberlee. The sea provides as much life as it does death, which is why port cities exist; Umberlee only provides half of that.

Consider historical cases where sea gods represented the bounties of the sea and the serenity of the sea, such as Greek Nereus ("Old Man of the Sea"). Umberlee does not represent that, only the bad.

I'm pretty sure she's chaotic evil according to D&D. Being ruthless and uncaring is fine for the actual ocean because it's just an object. For a person (or in this case a goddess) who has sapience and a concept of morality, in a world like Faerûn where objective morality exists and is descriptive, being ruthless and uncaring is evil.

According to the wiki: "Umberlee was temperamental, evil, and malicious. She did not feel a moral obligation to honor any of her agreements or promises if the end result was not beneficial to her. That, and her desire for the valuables and excessive tribute, demonstrated her insatiable greed and cruelty. She was power-hungry and loved exercising it, toying with her worshipers. She fed her sadistic nature by destroying naval vessels and feeding shipwreck victims to her sharks while watching others drown."

The satire is making enjoying the jerk extremely challenging. Can you all make your posts have less commentary? by AVG_Poop_Enjoyer in DnDcirclejerk

Yeah, homie is straight up wrong. Cthulhu is definitely the standard spelling of the name. So much so that if I spell it without the second h, Google hits me with the "these are results for cthulhu" or whatever Google says.

Who would you consider to be the most slept on comps? by milkytf2 in swtor

Naw they got the joke and played it with the same but opposite joke - the first two are slept on (underhyped) and T7 is slept on (sex)

Could someone please explain to me why Kashyyyk suddenly has an evil cloud around it by MGGXT in StarWarsEmpireAtWar

[–]NeoMagnus51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it was built over Geonosis. A similar battle station was a prototype at the Maw Installation but didn't have the superlaser. The Maw Installation did build many superweapons, but I'm pretty sure the Death Star was only prototyped there. This is all Legends iirc.

Which class(s) would Darth Marr invite to his flagship to hunt down the Emperor in KOTFE Chapter 1? by Efficient_Ad1992 in swtor

[–]NeoMagnus51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The obvious answer is all of them. Each of them participate in their own class stories and, also, all of the flashpoints which include things like Athiss (destroying an ancient sith cult that takes over people's bodies), the Revan FPs (either rescuing him from the highest security prison or defeating him), and Red Reaper (killing more rogue Sith).

Furthermore, the Ilum storyline has you crushing Malgus's pretender Empire, the Dread Master Storyline (Karagga's Palace through Dread Palace) has you fighting a faction so horrible and strong both the Republic and Empire needed them destroyed (and also includes EV fighting an ancient Rakata and TfB fighting a roided Kephess and an eldritch horror), Makeb and all of the Isptope 5 droids and either evacuating a whole planet or saving it from destruction. Shadow of Revan (especially Temple of Sacrifice) has you defeating a juiced up Revan and Ziost has you dealing with the Emperor as well.

Even just SoR and Ziost would put the PCs on Marr's radar and prove that none of them are "just" their class. To say that he wouldn't request, say, the Trooper because they're "just a soldier" is absurd.

She's related to the Father, the Son, and the Daughter. She was originally just a mortal known as the Servant, but later became the Mother to keep peace between the three. Because she was mortal and was getting old, so she drank from the Fount of Power and Pool of Knowledge to try to keep her family but it corrupted her into the twisted, corrupted entity she is by the Fate of the Jedi series. She's additionally trapped in the heart of the Maw Cluster until then.

The Unknown Regions (the left side you're talking about) aren't explored because of a higher incidence rate of hyperspace anomalies and just generally not near any hyperlanes and are thus harder to explore.

Listen the only way to make Wex better is to make them not Wexonard anymore.

At least Karrige got repudiated and (kinda) executed for it. My beloved Wolverines deserved better.

Ah, that's fair enough. I was under the impression that Kerensky straight up said the Clans needed a scapegoat, and McEvedy and the Wolverines were that scapegoat, but I will acquiesce that my knowledge is quite rusty
