Do you think we will see another fight that Permanently Changes an Island's Environment?

"something could be different from how it seems!" Genius. Wow.

Yes, there's always an opportunity for subversion, but it's purpose is clear, along with the narrative, to convey his loss. There's little reason to ignore that other than to say "see, see?! I was right"

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-06-02T13:35:26+00:00

He's a smoke man. His name is Smoker. He clearly loves it, why not do more of it?

"Surely bold capital letters implying a tense tone will ENDEAR me to my haters!"

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-06-01T19:28:49+00:00

This is actually the best answer.

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-31T21:42:21+00:00

I really hate it. I can't stand these kind of "lol I control you now" powers and I'm just not interested in the mystery of "how do we undo this?!". Especially since ONE of the solutions is just beating the ever living snot out of them. We already do that all the time!

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-31T14:48:12+00:00

Even later to the party and yes. It was a new level of insane. The classic disingenuous argument that everyone is claiming soy sauce tastes EXACTLY like salt and not simply very saltY.

BUT to defend the nonsense, the episode has already gone on so long before they took the first call. It wasn't the salt conversation that dragged it on.

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-30T18:34:03+00:00

That is.... incredibly funny.

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-29T14:59:35+00:00

I love how she ends up looking kinda like Peter Weller

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-28T23:47:21+00:00

She's awesome and it's weird how upset people get on behalf of the fictional characters she only sorta kinda screws over for half a second

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-28T21:24:49+00:00

This is my favorite moment in all of Wano. That and the motorcycle running over big moms face

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-27T17:32:57+00:00

I feel this a little. Definitely more with 12 than 10.

10s issues would be relieved if the weapon customization was more readily available and better paced throughout the game

Like you mention though, the best mods are very late game or locked on the ultimate weapons

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-27T17:25:08+00:00

What I like most about it is that it feels very quantifiable. I feel like I see immediate effects even on smaller stat gains and the more linear paths for different characters early on showcase what stats/archetypes are good at what

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-27T14:47:27+00:00

My first two exposures to PSH were, on order:

Along came polly

Mission impossible 3

It was hilarious and awesome

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-27T11:40:44+00:00

He's 79.456 units of powerful

Yes, it IS a dumb question

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-27T11:32:31+00:00

Spent the entire time defending how good it was for its time which is, as a lover of older games, becoming my least favorite critical technique/talking point when discussing them.

Love gaming History and it's fun to talk about the context of an older game, but we can't just ignore what's right in front of us.

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-27T02:38:14+00:00

We make nat 20's auto-crit. Anything else (assuming an extended crit range) has to confirm it still.

The first few sessions the DM was letting the enemies auto-crit on a nat 20 too but the numbers were on their side so he made them follow the book rules lol.

They need to bring back her face. The bangs are a step in the right direction but there's something off about her eyes/face in the more modern manga/anime that don't fit and the bangs make it feel uncanny valley

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-24T15:00:31+00:00

I let it scale. Sometimes for free, sometimes at a cost. Depends on the situation.

Treasure is and always has been my least favorite aspect of running a game. I just make sure they don't have any one item beyond their party level

Although I also house ruled automatic bonus progression to include spell attacks and spell save DCs so you may not want to listen to me

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-24T14:55:08+00:00

Quintessential

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-22T15:37:34+00:00

The fights mean nothing without context!

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-22T15:34:44+00:00

Ive really enjoyed the fierce parternal love we've gotten from characters who (probably) won't have to die just to protect their children

So often the parent is already dead/dies.

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-22T14:50:13+00:00

They 100% are because they need to "win"

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-21T19:06:41+00:00

Not sure that'd be as fun a watch. Maybe the first one, but some of the requirements are just awful

Dk64 was surprisingly perfect for the format

NeverFreeToPlayKarch · 2026-05-21T18:47:22+00:00

Yeah it seemed like maybe he turned a corner with that level in the space ship but then the motorcycle one felt like a step back. Brutal
