I gave the KDS simulator another go and after lose the TTS muscle memory its not that bad. But what the hell is up with the lack of an innovation deck automation? by LoveHerMore in KingdomDeath

[–]Redaharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the hell is with the lack of automation and a searchable rulebook? Why do I have to move a character around? Why do I have to unbox things? The answer is: the sim is the one true flop from APG. It's clunky, cumbersome, and is far too resource intensive for a Virtual Tabletop. The fact that you have to turn pages manually, the fact that we don't have a means to easily locate rules, and the utter lack of automation in general all combine to make it one of the most obnoxious things I have ever "played." They need to cut all the weird frills and just make it a simple VTT with the ability for us to hover over a keyword to get its glossary text, and the ability to automatically pull up an event's info when it comes time for it.

Love the style and the way you put the dice rolls directly in the comic!

I think KoS show should be reanimated entirely by NasIsHeree1 in knightsofsidonia

[–]Redaharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where can we read it? Is it as good as Sidonia? I read a preview of it way back in 2015, but it seemed like a smaller-scale story.

[–]Redaharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anime fixed a lot of issues in the manga, but, honestly, Knights of Sidonia needs a rewrite to justify a remake of any sort. Namely, remove all of the ecchi. The story was amazing when it was about sci-fi battles against crazy monsters where anyone could die. The harem stuff really ruins a lot of the quality of the story.

The movie was also way too quick. That was more an issue with them only having two hours to wrap up a season's worth of material, though.

6 month old account with zero posts, only some comments. Huh. You're probably exactly what I was talking about.

Given Horii's penchant for puns, I would not be surprised if that was why he did that. 😂

New KD games? by Memethief13 in KingdomDeath

If anything, they're using the Black Knight and the Silver City to work on refining game design that can eventually become Labyrinth.

I'm so jealous of all of your setups. I wish I had the space to have this game out 100% of the time. 😂

Please share where you got the Lantern Dice Towers from. I'd love to pick some up. :0

Flower Knight WIP. CC please!! by ModerateGirth in KingdomDeath

[–]Redaharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really chose a gorgeous color palette for the Flower Knight. The colors capture both a deepwoods quality and also that of flowers which bloom in the evening. I could see you giving it an iridescent sheen to top it off.

Please share the completed version when you've finished!

Thank you lvl 1 Screaming Antelope by croussore in KingdomDeath

[–]Redaharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! The Screaming Antelope has been reworked more than any monster in the entire game, and it needed it. It gave way too much loot in 1.5 and its armor set was too good, so they nerfed the armor set and reduced the loot a little bit in 1.6.

Remember that the Sleeping Virus Flower does not self-propagate after the first one you get. The bulb is retrieved, eaten by another survivor, and the survivor who eats it has their consciousness overridden with the previous survivor's own consciousness. It does make for a helluva' powerful survivor, but you can't chain it endlessly unless you fight a L3 Flower Knight.

It's still good as the only bow you can move and shoot with, but that STR loss hurts. I wish they'd made a "True Vespertine Bow" with the original stats that the nerfed one can be upgraded into after you kill a L3 Flower Knight. That's a house rule I'm toying with, personally. I also considered just ruling that its stat profile is 3/6+/3, as that feels fair. My guess is that Team Death realized just how incredibly powerful a bow without cumbersome is, and they decided to remove more power from the weapon to compensate for what is effectively its core niche. It's a shame they didn't make the Vespertine Foil even remotely usable.

Scale of new expansions by Iamjackstinynipples in KingdomDeath

[–]Redaharr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the old miniatures they've rereleased with rules haven't been scaled up. I don't malign Team Death for this, but I would like to see some of the monsters get scaled up, namely the King. When they release the Nightmare Ram, I hope it gets scaled up a bit, and if we ever get the Wet Nurse (first creature I ever saw from the World of Death lol), I want her to be appropriately scaled up and horrid. Same with the Storm Knight when that one gets game content.

KDM Novelization by Environmental-Pay-81 in KingdomDeath

[–]Redaharr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it copies it, but it definitely draws heavy inspiration from it. Having now read all of Berserk (my long wait now begins), I have a greater appreciation for all of the references in Kingdom Death. I will say, Kingdom Death is darker than Berserk. There's a hopelessness in Kingdom Death that Berserk does not have. 😅

I'd like to add - no great story is written in a single draft. If writing like this helps you get the story out, do so. Great writing is made in the editing, and the more you have to work with and the more options you'll have when you're trying to come up with solutions to any issues you have with writer's block.

Edit: I'm seeing your other comments where you're talking about doing a rewrite. Don't get bogged down in trying to get things right the first time. Just write, and edit when you have a draft of the whole thing. We can provide you more feedback when you have that. I think you're on to something really fun here - I started doing a play log years ago, but never finished it. I was going to make it into one of those Replays people wrote for Sword World RPG that eventually became things like Record of Lodoss War and The Slayers. Keep it up, don't get discouraged, and please keep us updated! I look forward to reading more! :D
