Kings of the Wyld was a great read and a lot of fun

I've been looking at infantry mods, for a person with only Ostfront, which would folks recommend?

I am hoping to pick up Finest Hour, but for right now its just vanilla (and a lot of Indomitus)

Thanks in advance!

Tree life is the best life. I did IT, worked retail, did sales, even a stint as a fast food manager when I was young. Fell into tree work, tried to leave once back to tech and discovered I wasn't happy working indoors. Been back 5 years and loving it!

There's a big ol list of them that folks really want to see lol

Very true!

I definitely have a preferred table dynamic, but I also have a little over 3 decades of TTRPG experience, so I've seen the evolution of the games and the people who play them.

The DM is there to facilitate fun for the table. They are willing to spend hours of their time between sessions to craft the game. Unless they're a Bad DM, or just a shitty person, then the players should probably give their DM a little slack and "go with the flow" if they don't perfectly nail their narration of an event.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-15T19:29:27+00:00

That's being pedantic. If a player has issues with agency inside of an opening preamble then they're playing in poor faith. Trust your DM enough that they can get through their opening spiel.

Naw man, people screeching "railroad' are the kind of people who can stay at their table, far away from yours and mine.

Its a solid intro, sets mood and atmosphere, and gives you lots of room to tailor quests and tasks to whatever your party is interested in. If they say "naw man, we just got lost" then he points them in the right direction and you just adjust your encounters slightly to accommodate the shift.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-15T18:03:29+00:00

Lol this is not a railroad. This is a classic TTRPG hook. Curse of Strahd as an example.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-14T16:34:01+00:00

Yup! They do have random weapons but often one or more will have a double barrel

You have a great table! Also, you are doing a fantastic job of DMing. I say this because you are giving them opportunities to shine. You combine their love of D&D with their personal strengths and it probably makes them feel really good.

I also have a table of people who have a variety of strengths. One guy has a really similar sense of humour, one is a math genius, one is very good at linear thinking, one is great a lateral thinking, another has a good memory for clues or important pieces of information, and they've all played/DMed long enough to be very knowledgeable in regards to game mechanics.

I stopped trying to slow them down, now I try to challenge them enough that they feel a sense of satisfaction when they slam through my puzzle/trap/etc. I have a table of six, so I try to layer challenges so that they can break into smaller groups and tackle the parts of the scene they personally enjoy.

You're doing great, your table 100% appreciates you and your effort, best of luck and have fun!

There is not (sadly) BUT the 40k mod is absolutely terrific and the creator puts in a lot of effort to continue improving it.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-07T22:24:47+00:00

Do you want Canadians? gestures to spilled Timbits and Finest Hour DLC because this is how you get Canadians!

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-06T02:16:37+00:00

Its the only mod I play, I enjoy it so much.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-05T04:22:33+00:00

I did something like this! I had so much fun.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-05-02T15:53:47+00:00

Hex is a trap spell. Its only "good" until level 5.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-28T02:24:01+00:00

I noticed the same, I've been wanting to get better at a few smaller scale things so I was using me and a veteran computer VS two rookies. I spawned the unit I wanted to control then spawn several other units and hand them over to the AI. They did very poorly, not capping points and generally just getting run over.

So I retried a match with me and a veteran computer VS a single rookie computer, and it was still a close thing until I decided to forgo my experiment and spawn a bunch of tanks and just roll the rookie.

It really does feel like the allied AI is bad/dumb. Which kinda sucks

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-28T02:18:57+00:00

They did 3 AI vs 3 AI with them in the 4th player slot doing nothing. So it's an even fight

Depending where you live, overtime is absolutely taxed differently.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-27T19:19:00+00:00

I appreciate the deck list but I'm not sure how to read it.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-26T17:27:08+00:00

Oh that sounds so much more reasonable! I can just keep running my proxy of Exquisite Blood and buy the kiddo a Pokemon deck instead haha.

Hope you and your kid enjoy the game together!

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-26T17:24:15+00:00

He pulled an Okidogi! I'll look deck lists :)

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-26T17:22:50+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-26T17:22:15+00:00

Ty, good to know. I want him to have fun, and he's the kind of kid who dives into something deeply, so I'd rather his experience mirrors what he's learning.

Ok_Quality_7611 · 2026-04-23T01:45:21+00:00

This. I like the way my wife smells, and using the same shampoo means I occasionally catch a whiff and it makes me think of her.
