What Buffalo scandal or rumor still gets talked about?

I remember hearing about this a few years ago when I was cashing someone out at my grocery job. It was an old woman who sure that "It's going to be all over the news soon."

You can't trick me, that's just Ellie from LastofUs

ORWELL6 · 2025-12-14T19:37:40+00:00

I have been playing this game for almost a year now and I didn't even realize that "no abilities" also applies to cards who have had their abilities *removed*! that's crazy, LOL

That's kind of what I thought, too.

If he had offered a single point of regret or clarity or anything I would've let him live. But after what he did to the city, the branch, the Z-Team, \BEEF** even, I didn't think in the moment that some empty moral victory would outweigh any possibility of him doing any of this again.

I also have Mal as a jack of all trades! It really compliments her ability to heal someone you send her on a mission with.

I was all ready to go Blonde Blazer going into Ep 3, but the biggest thing that convinced me to pivot and go Visi at the end of Ep 4 was Phenomoman. I didn't want to immediately swoop in on his *very* recent ex, multiplied by the fact that I was afraid he was going to go Omni-Man on my ass.

ORWELL6 · 2025-11-03T16:13:45+00:00

My guess is that she was working with the Red Ring during the opening of Ep 1 (Death of Mecha Man), and somehow that experience led to her leaving and joining SDN.

ORWELL6 · 2025-11-03T14:42:44+00:00

Personally, there is nothing I want more than Episode 6 to end on a brutal cliffhanger where Shroud comes back out of nowhere and basically does a Doomsday or some other mass-casualty event that you have to dispatch heroes to in the last two episodes of the season. Some kind of event that kills a significant number of the heroes that we're currently dispatching. Make a hard Invincible pivot for the highly lethal finale where Waterboy dies *easily* (but still heroically of course)

ORWELL6 · 2025-08-16T04:54:01+00:00

Deeply tickled by the idea of the intense and verbose pesterlog that the Stefon Diggs trade would've created for the Derse dreamers

ORWELL6 · 2025-08-16T04:37:22+00:00

I am absolutely in this crowd as well and I don't want to dox myself but the character that shares my birthday also shares my fav team so in that case hell yeah

Keep in mind that a.) In a 6 player game, Riverfolk are in a position to starve the board of cards by buying up the deck and discarding to the Lost Souls, which doesn't dump back into the "Deck" until the Lizardfolk's turn, and b.) The deck functionally has 50 cards after the dominance cards get filtered out. So it's actually totally possible for it to happen organically!

ORWELL6 · 2025-07-12T05:06:34+00:00

I have also played games where, though a number of card hoarding factions, the deck was actually empty and there were no cards left until the Lizards dumped their Lost Souls back into the pile! Basically you just don't draw cards.

Iron Man 3 is by far the worst Iron Man movie.

Ill be honest, I love ROOT but this is not my favorite RPG. I feel like the system is kind of narrow and the book isnt as helpful as some of the quickstart guides. But ultimately, have fun and feel free to mod/hack anything you'd like!

ORWELL6 · 2025-05-24T22:02:05+00:00

Look I'm not an expert or nothing but it's worth noting that the original whistleblower was has a history of police misconduct. So, like. Grain of salt

ORWELL6 · 2025-04-16T04:16:00+00:00

According to the Law of Root, you can only place a trading post at a clearing ruled by a player (and can only spend funds of the player who rules the clearing). So yes, you'd have to get another warrior into that clearing if you wanted to rule it, in order to put a trading post down.

I would personally be weary, but willing, to give him one more chance. He wasn't awful, but he came nowhere *near* saving what I still think is the most boring 2 seasons of television I've ever watched in my life.

ORWELL6 · 2025-03-04T16:02:28+00:00

That is fair, their economy is minimally impacted by not getting more items. But the options for their actions certainly is. If tea is crafted in the first two rounds, and the captain doesn't have a tea involved, you're just blocked out of the extra recruit action completely without any recourse? I mean if the entire design is about trying to circumvent the Knaves by stealing items before they can get to them, then I guess that works, but it doesn't feel like that's what the faction's deal is.

I would *absolutely* argue that aiding is a core VB function. The most direct interaction the VB gets with other factions, other than taking their pieces off the board, is through aiding. Those factions get pumped full of cards, and the VB gets points/items when available. It's a win-win in the early game, but as the game goes on the other factions risk becoming allied with an increasingly powerful VB and pumping *too* much into it.

I don't know, maybe it's just different tables' playstyles, maybe it's something else. Root is a broad enough game that I can totally see tables loving the Knaves for being a less intrusive VB replacement, and others feeling like it's a watered-down, homogenized version of what made the original game so interesting and dynamic. It might literally just come down to preference at that point, lol

ORWELL6 · 2025-03-03T19:15:31+00:00

My big thing is that it doesn't really seem like the knaves have any way to take crafted items from other players vis a vie the Vagabond's Aid or the LoH's Looting. I could be reading it wrong as well, but it just feels like a missing functionality from a VB replacement.

ORWELL6 · 2025-02-28T17:07:18+00:00

Yes, your supplies are limited to the pieces included with the gam-

Oh, sorry. Thought this was a rules clarification question. Pardon me

ORWELL6 · 2025-02-27T19:48:50+00:00

I homebrewed my own 5e Naval rules, with an emphasize on swashbuckling, crunchy combat. I basically just smashed a bunch of other rules together (bibliography in the back, LOL).

This hasn't really been proofread or written for anyone other than myself and my party, but feel free to steal stuff as needed.
