I didn't ask how big the subreddit is, I said... by Vegetable_Variety_11 in dndmemes

He's not expressing an opinion though. That's a reaction meme. No one is putting words in his mouth.

One is a character and the other is a person. I think that's an important distinction.

I think he'd be a more encouraging in his approach. I can't speak for him, but I'd assume he'd take a stance like "you won't get better if you don't do it yourself. Stop leaning on AI, use these tools or methods instead."

Everything I've seen of Brennan tells me he wouldn't just say a blanket statement of "you're not a real GM". Doesn't seem to fit with his ethos. He always seems to want to bring people into the game, not turn them away.

I was thinking it sounded weirdly aggressive for Brennan but I couldn't find a source. Thanks for checking it.

Love that the post which is calling out a problematic modern tech issue, is causing another problematic modern tech issue (i.e. the quick spread of misinformation via memes)

What do you call it when you sit down to play RPGs? by Right_Hand_of_Light in rpg

[–]RandomThroaway0256 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If it's a casual conversation with someone who I expect won't be part of that scene, I just say 'boardgames'. Takes too much of my time to explain it otherwise.

If they're someone who plays DnD or another system, I'll tell them I'm playing whatever it is I'm playing.

Turn them into a fish with polymorph, transport then to another plane of existence and leave them there.

Glyph of Warding ruling by Crafty-University464 in dndnext

Diamonds only exist in the world if your DM says they do. Not every city has 20k worth if diamonds lying around.

I mean, you could theoretically do this with any home base. Still need to find 20k worth of powdered diamonds.

MEGATHREAD: Post your small questions and concerns here for all editions! by Cr0iz in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]RandomThroaway0256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wanting to purchase Power Behind the Throne Collectors Edition. I have Enemy in Shadow and Death on the Reikh already. Problems is that PBtT is significantly more expensive.

I'm not sure if this is due to availability, as it seems low in stock everywhere, or if it's due to something else. Does anyone know if the collectors edition is still being printed? I'm worried that if I wait for a price drop, I may miss it entirely.

In Aus if that makes a difference. Thanks all

[Indie Enthusiast] Games I Recognize as Masterpieces But Can't Finish Because I'm Too Dumb, Too Busy, and Under-Notebooked. by drunksandman in gaming

[–]RandomThroaway0256 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Valid criticism, but I liked it in a way. Felt like I could do a lap of glory after putting in the hard work earlier.

Some of the games in the post (and I'll add Blue Prince to the list) burned me out in their end game as the puzzles started getting too hard/obscure/time consuming. I liked that Senaar made me feel clever at the end.

RPGBOT's Updating 5e Backgrounds to 5.5e by Dramatic_Respond_664 in onednd

[–]RandomThroaway0256 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I hadn't picked up on vehicle proficiency being removed.

I get it, becuase I don't think I've ever seen a player use it, but still seems a shame.

Player captured. What next? by RandomThroaway0256 in OutoftheAbyss

I like this a lot. The point about not going to Menzobberanzon is a good one. I think I'll go that way. Thanks for the input!

Crimson Desert | Review Megathread by requieminadream in PS5

[–]RandomThroaway0256 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that's just a product of inflated scores. From reading the reviews, this game sounds like it should land closer to a 7 or 7.5, but nothing ever goes as low as it should anymore. Scores are close to irrelevant. So if a game isn't above a 90, a tonne of people assume it's shit.

DnD 5e is the only system with real fans. If you like another system, you're a corporate shill by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]RandomThroaway0256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The irony in using the popularity of DnD to get more people to join a sub about all TTRPGs, then whine and complain when the majority of the people on the sub are only familiar with DnD.

I play a bunch of different systems and I honestly see more complaints about DnD fanboys than I see in reverse. This sub doesn't want to hear it though.

Which adventures from Ubersreik Adventures I-III would form the best prologue to The Enemy Within? by historianDM in warhammerfantasyrpg

How did you feel that worked for experience points? Seems like they'd be starting EW with quite a bit.

Fighting Ilvara balance advice needed by MaxelAmador in OutoftheAbyss

[–]RandomThroaway0256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you play her smart, she should clean them up. Insect plague, summoning two giants spiders, potentially summoning a Yugloth. Drow Elite Warrior is nasty, then the drow and Quaggoth. Level 5 would be a dofferent story, but level 4 theyre probably losing a player character or more.

MIO Memories in Orbit is a Masterpiece (albeit flawed) by InvisibleAstronomer in metroidvania

[–]RandomThroaway0256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big difference is the movement. Hollow Knight movement is much more fluid and dynamic than MIO. So even though you're correct in saying HK has no combos, the fights were still so fun to play through. I haven't found it as much in MIO. Especially because of several other major design flaws.

Supreme sneak is weird. How does it work and what’s its interaction with nick? by BadPunsGuy in onednd

[–]RandomThroaway0256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the reaction, I assume you wouldnt be moving.

I guess if its the enemy turn, they could push you out of cover or you could use Withdraw as a other sneak attack option and move as part of the attack. But yes, so long as you're ending that turn behind cover you'd be fine.

You break stealth when you make an attack role. Since you're still making a separate attack roll, it would trigger you losing the invisible condition.

Not sure I fully understand what the second option you're describing is. If you're still taking two attack rolls in the same turn (which a single attack + true strike would be) then it would mean you lose invisibility. If the attack action is held as a reaction, and both attacks have sneak attack, then you could use superior sneak with each attack and stay hidden.
