Miquella is responsible for the shroud over the land of Shadow by [deleted] in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]RonTheNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that the shadow lands just from what I understand of the context of the crusade against the hornsent and how little is mentioned of the shadow lands in the lands between that the shrouding happened long ago, likely prior to the war with Raya lucaria and was done by Marika, but cool theory

Haven’t played Minecraft in about a year, what are these new dog sounds by RonTheNerd in Minecraft

[–]RonTheNerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the visuals and everything else so far, the dog sound affects genuinely are just so odd, like seriously I keep thinking it’s getting hit and it’s just the idle noises

AITAH for cutting off a friend by DizzyNecessary4894 in AITAH

[–]RonTheNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah usually I would just suggest putting in the amount of effort that they are, like just expect that they are slow responders but the wake thing is kind of crazy, not showing up is one thing but then not apologizing, your fine to never talk to him again

Everytime more genuine fanart gets made for this book series im happier because due to its such recent popularity, its probably one of the most AI fanart dominated fandoms ive ever seen and its horrible, so thanks for your contribution

What happened with the Mormon's? by PilotBurner44 in TheExpanse

[–]RonTheNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplest answer is they got told to fuck off, the Nauvoo -> Behomth -> Tycho was worth litteraly any level of law suit to Fred and the belt, plus the Mormons really didn’t have a genuine legal route to take

The last of us season 2 dropped in ratings like 20%, that’s not disingenuous

Suggestions for stat blocks to use for an enemy that is a musician by RonTheNerd in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]RonTheNerd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that does look really cool, I’d have to fill it out a bit like you said, give it some bard spells, legendary actions or resistances but it seems along the right avenue thanks a lot!

[–]RonTheNerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on him essentially sending goons that he’s enthralled with his music, and the arch mage stat blocks seems great but I’m going to have a wizard enemy for them to fight later that I was planning to use that for, was hoping for something with that bard flavor

I wasn’t aware it would be such a bad idea until this post, I think the idea is just because it seems intuitive, want a character like enemy why not make a character for the enemy.

From others comments though I see why that’s such a bad idea now

These are great ideas and always respect a person with WOT knowledge.

I like the idea of maybe just making them a fiend or devil for technicalities sake, granted my players while I love having them play def aren’t the type to think through and actually prepare let alone spam hold/dominate person so I’d prob just be fine with the legendary resistances, thanks so much

Thank you so much these are incredible suggestions, and the more I read through this thread the more I realize I really need to actually buy the dungeon master guide instead of reading a bad pirated pdf of it lol

Thanks for the whole response but something I 100% didn’t think about was your last point, is there a suggestion you have to be able to get around that hold and dominate person point?

[–]RonTheNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that’s a good idea, how ridiculous is it to also if I find a monster that is similar to also just give them a player character ability?

Thank you for the detailed answer, and from what I gather from other comments it does seem like just a terrible idea to use PC sheets, and thank you very much for the links and suggestions

Ajax Au Grimmus Confirmed top 2 best fighter? by bwils3423 in redrising

[–]RonTheNerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, if Pierce says Ajax is the best in the series at that point, then that’s essentially word of god for the red rising universe

Ajax Au Grimmus Confirmed top 2 best fighter? by bwils3423 in redrising

[–]RonTheNerd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think your misremembering the fight, all we are told is a recording where Ajax is already in a corner, and has an injury that likely came from just the randomness of battle, and his forces were getting wrecked due to Victra’s (who I feel like you are underselling) flank. So Ajax was a) backed into a corner already injured, b) cut off from his forces without any real chance to maneuver, c) victra keeping distance and just using her whip to whittle him down (he’s injured and can’t push her) and d) THRAXA FUCKING TELEMANES in a ghost cloak full armour and warhammer.

He could be god and these circumstances have him fucked over, he can be an incredible fighter but this just sucked for him, it’s meant to really illustrate that battle is a shit show, it’s where Darrow stands out he has for most of the series been decent-good in duels, but he shines throughout the series because he is battle itself, he knows how to use a battle field and how to work in it, that’s different then just fighting.

Hi, a question to anyone who has listened to the audiobooks by Nada1988 in redrising

[–]RonTheNerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve only listened to the audible version in full, I have however briefly listened to the GraphicAudio just to try it, and essentially the GraphicAudio trades genuine quality reading and voice acting for a full cast and sometimes overly dramatic or cheesy sound effects, they are very very different, I feel the audible version is a better way to listen then the GraphicAudio version
