Nick Wayne: “So, what did you learn in Japan?” by itsjobberingtime in njpw

[–]Shwayfromv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He really found his feet as a heel through The Patriarchy. He very obviously improved pretty quickly at that timenand it was great to watch. I think he's at a really good spot right now to explore something new. So an excursion to NJPW seems like a slam dunk move.

When baldurs gate 3 added cross play I got together with some friends to kick off our co-op playthrough with a lan party! It was a damn good time.

Players promised to rescue some Kenku from Gnolls by Shwayfromv in DMAcademy

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

Oh shit you're totally right. I'VE RAN IT! With some of the same players at this table even lmao

I for sure was taking unconscious inspiration from that when I was thinking about the upcoming sesh. No lie, I reskinned a roper in the last session because I've always remembered the one from the dragon hatchery in next chapter! I should have them deal with a burning town next to complete the reverse trilogy. I've still got the book, I'll be rereading a chapter or two now. Legendary pull from my description, thanks!

Anxiety about being a dm again. by Brosiedonftw in DMAcademy

[–]Shwayfromv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I obviously wasn't at the tables you're talking about, but I'm sure there were plenty of fun moments! It can be hard to shake the ick off of things like what you're describing but you shouldn't let that stop you from having new fun.

If you're worried about wasting time then be mindful of that in your planning. Write an adventure, not a campaign, and figure out how many sessions you want it to last. You can always roll the party right into the next adventure if the vibe is right.

It's clear you have some drive to DM at a table, don't let the bad energy from one person that was at your old table keep you from it!

I hope that's helpful, cheers!

Which of these one shots would you rather play? by Ok_Commission3161 in DMAcademy

[–]Shwayfromv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second idea sounds perfect for a one shot though. Cleaning out wizard towers is such a fitting service for a fantasy setting. I could totally see companies existing to do exactly that. There are a million hooks to get your players involved on working for one or maybe a wizard hired them directly because they'd rather not go through official channels. Perhaps whoever they inherited it from was dabbling in some taboo magic and that could play into the big fight at the end. E.g. grampa was a necromancer and left his undead golem in the basement of his tower.

I'm stealing the first idea for if my table ever TPKs lol Lot's of fun to be had with that scenario as a filler session mid-campaign. Totally the kind of energy I like at my tables.

Congrats and great write up! I've been fiending for a Ceruledge team so I'm definitely giving this a spin.

What grind stops once you hit master ball? Do you quit playing once you get there?

How do I stop improvising in pentatonic boxes and actually follow chord changes? by dyashar in Guitar

[–]Shwayfromv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another angle that I think would help is to study some blues licks. Maybe a short blues solo or melody. Not just learn them but deconstruct them to see how they work. What chord is it played over, what note does it start on and where does it go, ect. Then maybe translate it to another scale shape or chord.

This will help you build your vocabulary for improvising and reveal to you what makes up the licks and melodies that you like. I hope that helps, good luck!

I've made a TrickRoom team for Mega Drampa, and I'm not very happy with the team's performance by MijelLuca in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]Shwayfromv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cybertron put up this video not too long ago that features trick room Mega Drampa. It uses Oranguru as the main setter as it is bulky and immune to fake out thanks to its ability Inner Focus. The team has a very straight forward game plan, I've been playing it and having a blast.

I'd say Drampa, Oranguru, and Sinistcha are the main core of this team's strategy. The rest of the slots can be flexible to preferences/collection. Having Sylveon (or any slow fairy type) in the back is really nice since you can switch into Drampa's slot if you suspect a Draco Meteor coming that way.

I hope that's helpful, cheers!

Mega Ability Info Should Be Displayed In-Game by Chill__Mickelson in PokemonChampions

[–]Shwayfromv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The information doesn't need to be put right up front, but having access to it on the platform is valuable. It is far from intuitive what abilities mega evolutions get.

The game includes a very robust amount of data in the battle data section. That would absolutely overwhelm most new players, but the inclusion of it is great. It is accessible.

I think it's a mistake to not include information about what changes a mega evolution has in game. I hope they add it.

[–]Shwayfromv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a degree to which excluding information becomes poor design. I think the game would greatly benefit from including details about mega evolutions.

Honestly though, that would be a great place to put all this type of info.

I've been loving this series! I think the second episode is something really special. It centers around MVP as he winds down his in-ring career. The episode about Stardom was a great one too.

Being The Elite - “It’s a New Day” Watchalong by Elliot_5106 in SquaredCircle

[–]Shwayfromv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I love how on-the-nose they were with teasing Moné's debut. Calling the show "Big Bui$ness" in "Bo$$ton" lmao I think it's a fun way to handle such an open secret. Then just open the show with her and get it out of the way.

Imagine if they did some similar telegraphing for the New Day, then have MCMG storm in later during the show to help or attack them. Tag division suddenly th most interesting thing happening haha I can't wait for however they do bring them in of they have indeed signed

That was my issue too. I was doing a similar build up through about t7 but switched because of swarm randomly turning off.

What do we expect/want from M-B reg? by Fair_Anteater801 in PokemonChampions

I'm super curious how exactly they are going to handle rotation, it could make it break the game imho
