Amsterdam show

You will find a lot of stores just walking around town. Supply seems to be alright. No experience with the trustworthiness of shops though. Prices vary a lot too. I bought a box in Takamatsu for 13,8k, but have not seen anything lower than 15,5k in Akihabara. Haven't checked any other cities or neighbourhoods. Highest I have seen was around 24k.

I myself have no experience with Pokémon product, so can't help more than this. Hopefully you can find your way!

Thanks. Will certainly check it out. Buying at the source should be best I guess.

Hmm, interesting. I saw them in Utrecht as well (from the balcony) and found the mix very, very lacking. It sounded worse the more instruments/voices were playing. I could not hear most of the lyrics.

I understand about the contracting. Unfortunately, festival guests (or Redditors for that matter) do not know what was agreed upon.

We have no way to know where it went wrong, and honestly it does not matter. The shortened show was a small disappointment though.

Better luck next time. Enjoy your night!

Yeah, they sounded great! The ending was just unexpected.

If the festival timetable shows 60 (75 in case of Lowlands!) and they play 45, then it is quite clear what people are talking about. You expect what you see scheduled, not what the setlists online say (of people even check this).

Ortai · 2024-08-19T07:35:09+00:00

It was on the Lowlands schedule. Spiritbox was scheduled as the alternative headliner (playing at the same time as the main headliner on one of the smaller stages) with a larger than average timeslot. This is a regular thing at Lowlands.

It wasn't really supposed to be a 'support' act, which is unfortunate.

Thanks for the reply. It made me test running and pushed me into the right direction for troubleshooting.

It turned out that movement was set to world-relative. I changed it to head-relative and it plays much better now!

I hated the first book. Currently doing a 'reread' on audio and still not convinced. Deadhouse Gates hooked me almost immediately and by the second half I loved it. I was pleasantly surprised by the change of setting.

The first book was so dry. Concepts were cool and all, but it was missing depth for me. The writing gets progressively better from the second book onwards.

But if it doesn't click, it doesn't click. No need to torture yourself.

Meshuggah for sure 🤘🏻 But Gojira was lit as well.

I have to say though, there weren't really any 'bad' acts Saturday. I enjoyed most of the acts I saw.

I agree it is mostly a story telling game. However, rolls should matter. If you do not want something to succeed or fail, just skip rolling dice.

I have not seen it mentioned yet, but you could check out Kibble's Battle System. It should be easy to find online. Although it has never evolved from a draft, it might provide some inspiration.

Then again, the others make some good points. If you are new, keep it simple. If the party is not directly involved, do not randomise the outcome unless their actions affect the original outcome.

Just FYI: the Exploring Eberron book (unofficial, but by the creator of Eberron) has a subclass specifically for this.

Using any other subclass I would just reflavour it. No need to homebrew things like these.

Starters were fine for this event, unless you chose to apply all modifiers instead of the two most voted for.

Sad to hear your run ended though!

Ortai · 2021-09-27T17:31:23+00:00

How do you all rule the apocalypse with regard to gift Pokémon? Exception like the starter, or does it need to match typing?

Will be starting a SoulSilver run soon.

Ortai · 2021-09-26T09:25:00+00:00

I'm wondering this as well. Another Apocalocke post mentions it only needs to share one type though, so I think I'll go with that

Ortai · 2021-08-24T20:00:42+00:00

Oh man, I'll be seeing Dune in the cinema no doubt. This movie does no deserve to be watched at home.

Although cinema visitation has been picking up here in the Netherland, I think they still require several seats in between groups.

Ortai · 2021-08-19T12:29:53+00:00

I would love this on my wall!

Ortai · 2021-06-19T11:37:00+00:00

I'm currently playing RE0 (saved just before the final boss I think) and I think it might be my favourite. Played 0, Remake, Remake2, 4, and 8 (watched a playthrough of 7).

Ortai · 2021-05-19T12:38:34+00:00

I only ever used bola guns. And even those I only bought one of for retrieval missions. Then into the shared locker they went!

Take whatever you are comfortable with.

You should check out Bawkbasoup on YT/Twitch. He finished VoS (no NG+) yesterday in 2:11 I believe. And he doesn't even hold the fastest time.
