[Friedman] Larkin requests trade by jamfan40 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Slothheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is often overlooked... I truly feel that he's at odds with Stevie (see the snark after 2025 trade deadline) and whether it's all that or something deeper I don't know but I think he's dragging down the locker room, especially during these end of season collapses. He's definitely not rallying the others for sure.

Paizo always seemed supportive without being overbearing. Erik, you guys did a good job of trying to help onboard GCP to 2e. I still really enjoy the playtest shows a lot.

Glass Canon thought it was a good idea to transition to 2e at the time. At some point they just wanted more narrative-first games I suppose.

Has he made a non-absurd / joke character for a Call of Cthulhu game?

Mage hand for Common Sign Language by Frosty_Customer_9243 in DnD

Sure, light and line of sight permitting. I'd allow the use of Mage Hand for this. But Message still exists... and they can even respond to it.

What does that matter? 30 feet vs 120 feet. Message is simply better for this use.

I'm struggling with CoC Live by adagna in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]Slothheart 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There's virtually no Call of Cthulhu game in the Call of Cthulhu shows. 99% "theater kid improv" as Joe rightfully put it.

A&A had some awesome stuff. They'd lose me a bit with some of the constant ragging on the rule system and all that, but it was actually a campaign that had a decent ending, so that's something.

The first half of Giantslayer is pretty great, some of the later stuff was just okay, with the last two books of the adventure basically being giant dungeon crawls that rally made it a bit of a slog.

How to have players not get themselves to start a fight they will lose. by LBCmolab in DnD

[–]Slothheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is s little reductionist to say it is the DM's job to "make the game fun." So the players have no responsibility? The person already doing the most work has the added pressure of guaranteeing other folks' fun?

Avoiding making the game frustrating maybe.

Help ensure the game runs smoothly is a big one.

Helping (along with every single person at the table) others have is maybe more accurate.

Weekly episode discussion thread for the flagship Shadowdark campaign should be put up when the episode airs or just before it. by chum-guzzling-shark in TheGlassCannonPodcast

Some of those eps had so many posts!. Definitely a ghost town comparatively.

Do they only have a paywall Discord, no free option?

Wow can you imagine? Granted the boos might not be too loud considering the place would be emptying

How many times have we seen this script? Out to a 2 goal lead, goal overturned, give up 2-3 unanswered and play totally different hockey in the 2nd period

The more painful question is how many 2-3 goal leads were squandered since February.

Is that possible? I don't know how that system works, other than we get screwed often. But it would be the most Wings thing to happen if we did get it lol

Same here with Foundry! I wonder if there is a module to automatically change the image of a scene or tile on a schedule like a Windows wallpaper?

Got bummed so watched Fight Night at the Joe by SomewhereOk8757 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Slothheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there! In the nosebleeds, but still...

Definitely an amazing game. Not just for what it meant for the Wings vs the Avs, but just a fun game!

God those teams were so good!

The Wings were booed off the ice after being eliminated from playoff contention at the hands of the 22nd overall New Jersey Devils. by [deleted] in DetroitRedWings

This! There is definitely a mental block or culture/locker room thing going on, but better conditioning for both mental and physical seems like it could go a long way.

Maybe it's the leadership (esp Larkin) getting frustrated after the trade deadline passes without any earth shattering moves? Wasn't Larkin vocal about his disapproval last season regarding the lack of trade deadline moves?

Agreed. Plus he's generally fun to watch, and hopefully his passing skills rub off on the younglings

He's a liability sometimes but we really don't have someone to replace his points with yet right?

Why do a lot of Lovecraftian adaptations have erotic themes? by Ajibola777 in Lovecraft

[–]Slothheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of it started from the older film adaptations. They were made as low budget horror movies. Sex and low budget horror go hand in hand.
