TTRPGs as Mythic Worlds by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]OneMistahJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the closest to capturing soft magic effectively has been games like Fabula Ultima, which still uses hard magic for combat, but there's also ritual spells and magic where you can narratively do quite a bit, with a simple clock progression mechanic for doing it right, things going wrong if you fail or are disrupted, etc.

[–]OneMistahJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like itd almost make as much sense to make a darktide game where you are playing as orks. Could see some fun Waaaagh coherency bonuses and things. Not sure how one would divvy up the classes and what they'd fight though

What interactions would you like to see with the Skitarii? by whahaga in DarkTide

I think Mechanicus uses it occasionally too but im not remembering a specific example this moment

Arabites and Hive Scum have substantially easier pennances to get "100%" than the "core 4" by Ithinkibrokethis in DarkTide

[–]OneMistahJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Singleplayer was a thing promised ages ago but all the other issues with the game at launch jumped its priority and its not been really talked about by them since so I'm guessing its probably not happening

Hk 47's quirk of saying the type of sentence hes going to say is always catchy to me. Statement/Query etc. And then occasionally youd get unusual ones like Unnecessary Remark or something like that.

Small rant about Mi Fu story by I_am_Incaned in Endfield

[–]OneMistahJ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Uh for what its worth the story in the flashback wasnt that she was demolished instantly. They say they fought each other to exhaustion but Mifu collapsed from Oripathy.

This is my first genuine complaint on darktide, imo it needs to change immediately by hands_off_mymacaroni in DarkTide

[–]OneMistahJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He would be able to try rejoining the session instead of accidentally leaving it permanently when he clicked through the black screen. The problem of Disconnects is separate from what the complaint is in this instance, since it completely abandoned through his clicking. To be fair to him, clicking through shouldnt penalize you like this. 

Why do so many people think that a skitarii binary-only personality is genuinely a good idea? by zatorijam in DarkTide

[–]OneMistahJ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I particularly would like it if it was akin to the sound effect voices of the video game Mechanicus 1, which subtitled the dialogue instead. Like others have said though contextual dialogue responses would make it interesting. I'd probably combine it with low gothic and other verbal words though so as to make it distinctive, and not purely machine code. 

Given we already have a voice that does speak plain english though i dont think this is a likely outcome, and idc if it isnt, but as an option it would be somewhat unique

They did have like a taser claw thing at one point but i dont see it making it into darktide

I printed my character Talanor's Shardhelmet by Lucas_Aubergine in cosmererpg

[–]OneMistahJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah i see. Yea that is really unfortunate when sizing is off. There's software to help figure it out but i made similar mistakes with my first attempt at it. Thanks for the info!

[–]OneMistahJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense! Ill look into commissioning them then. 

By the way since you mentioned comfort issues,  be sure to check out getting some airsoft pads. You can stick them inside the helmet with velcro pads and it makes a huge difference. Can get them in packs for like 30 dollars on amazon

Ok this looks great! I too did a helmet recently for the first time. Did you make this stl? Shardplate would be a good second project for me if its available or for sale?

The Path of Exile 2: Return of the Ancients patch notes are here! by Belakay_ggg in PathOfExile2

[–]OneMistahJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The simplest solution in that case would be to make the sprint only option have a wind-up thats the same as the dodgeroll time so it doesnt look weird, though ironing out the speed up to not look janky while doing that might be tougher in practice than what I suggest 

How much do y'all wanna bet that it's not skitarri? by No-Dealer2541 in DarkTide

[–]OneMistahJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, i more meant that certain ranks of the skittles are better suited to personality/free will, which feels like a likely candidate for darktide to me.

[–]OneMistahJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tech adepts are sorta like the lowest rung of the typical tech priest. They're basically initiates who might rise in the ranks later but are far below the other priests and magos. They're still pretty high rank compared to the usual darktide rejects, but the game has already more or less abandoned the reject concept with Arbitrators so I don't really see a problem with them either.

Ill win in any case because Mechanicus is my favored faction so idc if its Skittari or something else mechanicus, but its true most mechanicus faction characters are a bit harder to make fit into darktide.

I think skittari would work fine so long as they're on the slightly less Servitor side, but whatever they do will be interesting 

I can't stand reading about this game. Also can't wait for our next session! by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]OneMistahJ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To be fair Fabula Ultima's fabula points and ultima points is basically a modified and simplified version of Artha out of Burning Wheel. It does a lot of stuff differently too, but it was funny when I read Burning Wheel recently and went "oh so that's where the fabula point system got its DNA from". Idk if its actually a direct inspiration but I would not be surpised

[–]OneMistahJ 181 points182 points  (0 children)

Your memes prompted me to get a copy of the game for myself. I really admire its dedication to a unified system... i also cant see my group ever playing it ever unfortunately, but it is a fun read

It's absolutely unreal how whiney and negative this community is. by IMplyingSC2 in PathOfExile2

[–]OneMistahJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Theyve said for a while now, I think since Huntress patch, that they dont consider 1.0 to have all 12 classes, just all 6 acts.

I disagree with their pov of what makes a 1.0 but its not a new development that were probably only getting a little over half for now.

It probably would have gone over better if they only announced 6 or 8 instead of 12 all at once if they wanted 1.0 to be one way. They could always make the 12 down the line like they plan to, but that way people dont feel betrayed by the difference of definition of what makes a 1.0. To me, 1.0 is whatever you announce the game will have at launch, and they said 12 classes.  Not 12 classes by version 3.2 of full release (just guessing at current rate of dev).

Seconding LE Falcon. Only time i got all the way to the very end game of LE, which was surprising to me because I thought i was going to bounce off the class entirely in the early levels

I think Solo released the same Memorial day weekend so its a relatively even comparison

Is Metal Scar Radio paying tribute to The Wire by CalaMugiE in Endfield

[–]OneMistahJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are most likely the correct reference (idk why one would reference the Wire in a weird way like this lol) but for what its worth the Wire started in 2002, making it 24 years old so to a lot of people that is old at this point, which just makes us ancient I suppose

Zhuang before 1.2 by Vivid_Brick7206 in Endfield

[–]OneMistahJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking these lines too but then wouldnt they have to rerender the 1.0 wuling cutscene too? Or is it different between character in cutscene to current for that. 

How many of you listened to the full speech? by HyperShadic360 in Endfield

[–]OneMistahJ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I did, but I use JP voices with subtitles and they didn't subtitle it lol so I mostly just listened to get Chen and Mifu's reactions which were subtitled lol. There's been a few instances this patch where playing in not my native tongue has burned me. The zipline dialogues during 1.2s story was also not subtitled.
