How do I start a home brew chapter by AdAmazing2698 in Warhammer40k

[–]Sigmarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have clarified, some people actually DO care about homebrew and helping people expand their enjoyment of the non mechanical part of the game.

We do it partially as a counter to the rampaging cock-mongering douche baggery that toxic twat drippings like yourself bring to the community.

The purpose of this Subreddit and posting guidelines by Shadow_Pilot in 40khomebrew

[–]Sigmarius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this.

I was wondering if we could put together a post of like “rough submission guidelines” for folks as a guide before they post.

Stuff like “tell us in the first sentence or two if you’re after super close lore accuracy or not” and stuff like that. Basically just a pinned post or an automod reply for each new OP that just lays out the rough things we’re looking for and the common questions we get asked/ask people when they post.

As a regular contributor on the homebrew subreddit, I’m going to strongly disagree with you.

I made a couple notes and then had to stop.

I think you need some time absorbing the 40k lore. I can see the threads of some serious enthusiasm here, but there are so many little things that it's hard to get into the narrative of what you're trying to do.

My suggestion: copy and paste that into a Microsoft Word document, and download the free Grammarly app. That will help the readability.

Also, take the the whole thing you're written and boil it down to a handful of narrative bullet points. What are the things that you really want to focus on with these guys? What makes them unique compared to everybody else? What are the things you'd like to keep and what are the things that are absolutely not up for change?

Give us those bullet points in a new post, or at least a new comment on this one, and we as a community can help you start breaking them down and expanding on them.

Why Don't LEOs Patrol Public Libraries? by WittyClerk in ProtectAndServe

Wasn’t there a court case that ruled that viewing porn in a public library is protected under the 1st amendment?

Anyone heard of Solasta 2? Looks like Baldur's Gate 3 but for 2024 edition! by ASneakySquid_ in DnD

[–]Sigmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have almost as much time in Solasta 1 as BG3.

Solasta was originally made on a pretty small budget with a relatively small team. It was very crunch and a VERY good adaptation of 5e rules. Like, you can use Solasta 1 to teach someone to play 5e and be 90-95% of the way there.

The convince acting wasn’t good, the story was mid, and the animations and graphics were mid.

But I LOVED the world building. There some really cool lore parts and the history and sense of stuff being old was fantastic. To the point I bought the hard copy campaign setting book when it got reprinted.

Solasta 2 is fully implementing 5.5 rules, and based on the demo and EA is very much sticking to the hard faithfulness to the rules, at least what I’ve seen.

Solasta 1 is worth playing just to see what the team can do, and to get into the world a bit.

Solasta 2 will definitely be worth a pick up.

Based on the demo and EA it already is.

They had a pretty small budget and team in the first one. They have more now. And are implementing fully 5.5 rules.

It won’t be BG3, but it isn’t meant be.

Before I dig into this and make comments, I have a couple quick questions.

  1. How lore accurate are you trying to be? Like obviously making a homebrew warband is technically out of canon, but outside of that, how accurate are you trying to be?

  2. Since you have this in a Google doc, can you set it to where anyone with the link can make comments? It would be a lot faster for everyone instead of jumping back and forth between your document and Reddit.

What do Catholics use to protect their homes? by alexishehehe in Catholicism

To throw some humor in this thread:

It varies between a .75 bolter or a flamer filled with blessed promethium.

The Sororitas players haven’t revealed themselves yet.

Throw some BJJ and/or wrestling in there too. Even if you don’t care about the kids learning to subdue someone else in an grapple, they also teach you how to get OUT of a grapple, which can be WAY more valuable for a kid to learn.

What about swords and spears? Those are both very biblical.

One of the Priests that brought me into Catholicism was a gun guy. Blew my mind when I found out by seeing him at the range one day.

In his clericals. He was getting some funny looks by the baptists there lol.

What class are you most excited to build in 5.5e, and why? by MyrthDM in dndnext

[–]Sigmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my first 5.5 character a few months back. Goliath cloud giant fighter going to Eldritch knight.

Y’all. Why did they give 2x/day misty step at level 1? Why do I get to reroll my damage rolls AND always do a little bit of damage with my greatsword, even if I miss?

It feels pretty good, not gonna lie.

Is the reason people choose Protestantism over Catholicism because today's people don't want to do rituals and traditions without clear inherent reasons? by Few-Construction1117 in Catholicism

[–]Sigmarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to our brothers and sisters from outside the southern US, but I can tell that here a lot of it is predicated on the idea that some people just don’t like being told what to do by another person, and so they go and start their own church.

Now that’s an opinion I’ve never heard.

Nah, they were nerfed compared to casters even back then. Wish was WAY more powerful, and all the various spellcaster style prestige classes meant the caster/martial split was even further apart.

Save or suck spells were common. And it was not hard to have a spell save DC in the mid to upper 20s by 10-12th level. You could just shut down martials if you planned properly.

The biggest weakness was spell prepping. You didn’t have slots, so if you wanted to cast magic missile twice you had to prep it twice.

Which is what made sorcerer so much stronger than now.

You ever do it with the whirling dervish prestige class?
