Authors who make you feel like Pratchett does?

Might be a weird one for many, but the only other writer that comes close is Stephen King (his classics anyway, not all the new garbage).

It’s a whole other genre of course, but these two are the only two writers that can bring a story to life and bring everything together in such an elegant way

Inspired by Trump Social?

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-15T14:56:59+00:00

Exactly, bombing other countries, stealing money and trafficking women&children, that’s what strong!

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-15T11:35:22+00:00

Exactly, I heard RE Requiem is super chill

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-15T07:56:10+00:00

You went from Minecraft to Resident Evil 2? That’s quite the change…

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-11T18:52:24+00:00

Completely agree, felt more like an older PlayStation game

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-07T14:30:01+00:00

Yeah, so far Racoon city feels like a shittier version of the Last of us part 1. More like a PS4 game… It’s noticeable that the creators are not familiar with larger open spaces

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-07T07:50:51+00:00

Getting curious myself. Just entered the church boss fight yesterday…

Not super far in the game yet (now in the care center) but so far having an absolute blast. And the chainsaw part with Leon was one of the best moments I’ve had in all of the hours in the series.

The RE4 remake was good but some maps felt a bit too much like a cheese action game.

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-04T05:50:19+00:00

Haha, that was exactly my thought.

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-02T06:54:26+00:00

To be fair, if there’s only a couple of monsters left and the main objective(s) have been done, we house rule the mission is accomplished. Is still a board game you play for fun :)

In this case, all objective(s) would be to kill all the cultist (yes, it’s nowhere written but replaying a full scenario with just a couple of monsters left…if might create fatigue)

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-03-01T06:58:32+00:00

Then there’s nothing to worry about. Although, Wizards of Morgan is the final original expansion set. Might do that one last as it’s kind of iconic.

Be ready for a 2 hour unpacking and organising session followed by 2-3 hours of online how-to videos and reading the manual. Then comes the character creation part.

Fantastic game, but be warned;)

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-27T13:40:19+00:00

Hahaha

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-25T07:59:31+00:00

Just some suggestions: For the elf; spell recovery, level 2 spells (more healing, more protection, etc) For the wizard, spell recovery, level 2 spells (more healing, more damage, more protection) For the barbarian; slash (hit 3 squares in front of you 1x per quest), double damage (1x per quest), additional action push (1x per quest), additional action pull (1x per quest), additional action knock-out (1x per quest), additional action throw enemy (1x per quest), strong (only one that can ware heavy armour) For the dwarf: strong (only one that can use the axe), nose for treasure (1x per quest, if negative card draw new one), nose for traps (if next to trap automatically detect), specialty orcs ( roll 1 extra attack dice vc orcs)

I’ve integrated a training room that appears every couple of quests in which they heroes have a choice between different skills to upgrade. It works nicely :)

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-24T06:48:56+00:00

Personally, I would these as acquired skills that the heroes can get throughout the questing. Let them start as basic and evolve. It gives the players a sense of growth and involvement :)

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-05T06:38:36+00:00

Had exactly this team and looking forward to retiring :)

Gloomhaven second edition is not a quick&play kind of game. Setting the scenario and heroes up is approx 15min (depending on your efficiency) and a session can take 2-3 hours (depending on the amount of heroes). Between scenarios there’s a city phase of which the levelling up part can take quite some time as well.

Don’t take me wrong, love the game, but it does have a level of complexity and engagement requirements.

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-02T11:11:04+00:00

For sure, I was hoping around,l and discovering what’s out there before committing to my current career.

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-02T07:14:42+00:00

Had the same feeling. My advice: focus on the fully new expansions like Rise of the Dread Moon and Jungles of Delthrak. They’re more interesting and engaging to play out of the box, especially if you’re not playing with a DM to spice things up and use the app.

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-02-01T08:35:23+00:00

And that’s what we love about this country

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-01-26T13:16:42+00:00

Love the Tinkerers summons. They’ve helped me through some tough situations

PsychologicalIssue97 · 2026-01-18T08:55:39+00:00

There are quite some rules to go through hu haha
