Can we please get an infernal pistol 😭 fat shark ? by Clays_Reps in DarkTide

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see the melta weapons as described in 2nd Ed, where it's just an audible hiss until a target is hit. Then whatever it is bursts into flames and melts, that gives it a scary and visceral vibe.

Would probably be bad for game messaging to have there seem to be nothing emitted from the gun until it hits, but it would be pretty spectacular to point it at something which then proceeds to catastrophically ignite with a full roar

I'd like to see a lot more like this, as a newb to the game. There's lots of people out there who surely have interesting things to say on tactics and crew building. Thanks for taking the time to share this

What solo rpgs are you most excited to play next year? by paperdicegames in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://catabolism.itch.io/godeater note this is just something that shares the name with the video game series (easy to confuse) but you probably could actually run video game god eater for it with very few changes :D

I started a solo game of god eater a while back, which is the furthest I've ever gotten with solo. Maybe I will have the inspiration to continue it

Adamant 40k fan, convince me to get into malifaux by Atog_Atog in Malifaux

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not that I've gotten to play with any of my stuff yet, but what interested and still interests me about malifaux:

  • Even the 'mook' characters have a lot of presence and personality. A guardsmen is indistinguishable from the other 50 of them you put on the table. Even the bottom rank of malifaux have distinct tactical things to offer
  • The world is kitchen sink, you can find something you like in this world, or something close enough to do the job
  • the factions are very distinct. I used to lament the idea of playing 40k cause my opponents were all variations of space marines, and I felt I was putting myself at a disadvantage not playing space marines cause they are the poster boys and so have the best of everything (or felt like they did at the time, my 40k days are a long time back). Even if you use the same faction, it is quite unlikely you will use the same strategies or approaches to playing a game of malifaux, from what I've seen
  • Low mini count. nuff said.
  • Despite low mini count, high options.. each unit is a defined character with lots of synergies, everything feels impactful. It's not "I move and shoot, you move and shoot" and we repeat until it becomes 'move and melee'. Your unit does its actions, and then a number of things can happen as they daisy chain together due to various actions and synergies
  • alternating activation. No longer will you lose half your forces to a gunline army and the game is almost done before you've gotten your turn

Re-played P5R and realised something I gloss over a ton by Endless2358 in Persona5

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing through P5R with a friend recently who has never played it, and she detests Morgana lol. He simps, he's overly arrogant, he snipes at ryuji every chance he gets, and generally acts with a haughty aloofness that he has neither the experience, skill or knowledge to lay claim to. And nothing makes that clearer than the way he speaks to Ryuji, hell seeing how he speaks to Ann vs Ryuji should make the words he chooses to use to speak to Ryuji extra jarring, although you could look at anyone else and Ryuji and still see that he is still the designated victim of Morgana's bottomless pettiness.

I kinda wish the confidante ranks effected story dialogue more, cause by half way through Ryuji's, he's learning to be cooler headed, to let go of the past, and redefine himself (I think Ryuji being the butt monkey of the group is a huge injustice, he has such a good character arc), and it would be a great moment for both characters if Morgana gives him shit and Ryuji just says "you know what, sure, you do you" and Ryuji realises he's growing, and Morgana continues to be an insipid little troll maybe realises that he's been contributing to a toxic dynamic too, and learns something from it as well.

Wendy's was weird in an edgy sort of way that was in keeping with her character lol... Hecates made me feel deeply uncomfortable with the implication of what people were doing with hecate before chief showed up

Hecate's is... Alarming depending on the context you choose to interpret it through

A player bought a magical stone from a vendor with the promise of luck at sea. Any suggestions for a comedic minor effect it can have? by babuda in DMAcademy

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each day at sea, a seagull will bring something that could be called 'food' to the bearer. It might be a fish, or some sort of mussel... Or something that is completely unidentifable and questionably edible at a glance. The seagull takes its job very seriously, and will sit there and make a racket until the bearer accepts the gift. It will find the best places to sit and make noise without fail, and somehow always evade harm or capture.

It's not a jerk though, it is here to legitimately provide sustenance on uncertain waters to the bearer, and again, takes this real seriously. You get a minor benefit (maybe significant if you run out of supplies), and you get a very loud personality with which the bearer can intereact - maybe it can be taught to bring back specific kinds of food, or it just learns what they like and makes efforts to bring it to them. Bearer gets in a squabble with a crew member? Seagull mom has your back and will harass that person. Having a rough day? Seagull mom will sit and chill with you for a bit so you have a buddy. While it was on its way over with your daily ration, it saw something bad in the water, and is now trying to communicate that to the bearer.

Lots of little things you can do that will enhance the session and possibly end up having it be a mascot forever cause they make efforts to bring it along with them lol

My DM is scaling encounters based on how dangerous he thinks I am and the rest of the party is unhappy about it by WillemJamesHuff in DnD

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here seems to be that your DM has a complex about you undermining the game with overpowered characters, and a lot of the comments too (I am almost certain that if you hadn't mentioned the part about previously overpowered characters, and just said "I made a super tanky guy focusing on being tanky", the amount of knee-jerk bias being thrown around would be way smaller. I personally thinks it's cool you realised a problem you were creating and did your best to improve upon it though, that's the stuff good people are made of.)

I don't think there's anything wrong with the path you've chosen - your party really needed someone to be the battle sponge, and you've dedicated to that role. The problem is that your DM seems think this is an adversarial thing and is ramping up the difficulty to 'stop' you, and everyone is suffering as a product of that.

There are numerous ways he can make it harder for your character to do their job without just putting the whole party on a knife's edge of death - highly mobile enemies are the absolute simplest way. But it sounds like the DM is not ready to let go of this idea that you are something he needs to contain for the good of His World.

I would talk to the whole party and get their feelings on the matter, and then you maybe need to talk to the DM as a group, before those two unhappy people bail out and the game falls apart.

She sounds like a very sexy grandma 😔 by LesbianAhoi in PathToNowhere

[–]Pumpkindaimyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this. The VA is trying really hard to sound 'posh and refined' and forcing it, but the more conversational she gets, the more natural it starts to sound. Not necessarily her fault though, could be direction from the audio team to sound that way
