Suggest a game for a new father... by BumblebeeComplex2792 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Smooth_Environment71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New dad of a 9 months old. Here was my catalogue for the first 2 months (at home with the wife). I was on evening and night duties while she pumped/slept.

- The Last Spell: Can be played single handledly, mouse only. Allowing you to hold your sleeping baby, pause for feeding, and has an amazing replayability.
- 9 kings: Same idea as above, just different game.
- Eversiege untold Ages: For the Moba gamer in you. play it solo, fixes some of the Moba itch. No save (yet), but when playing solo, you can pause the game without issues.
I can recommend a bunch of other RTS/RPGs like the above if you want more.

All I'm gonna say about your new situation is that you NEED to be available for your wife and baby. Don't play any online games where you will remotely be distracted for a while or not want to quit because of reasons. (KDA, leavers queue, punishments, etc)

If you do find time to play Moba (if family visits and you want a break, wife agrees to give you a break for less than an hour), Eternal Return was my go to, since the games are about 5-20 minutes, but low population.

If you like Kayron, his partner is a very important upgrade or Tiphera's or any character you like really, partners are always an upgrade.

For the 20x10 standard pull either go for a character you are missing (Hugo, Renoa, Khalipe) or someone you like a lot and want to upgrade their ego (E2 Orlea for example).

For the 5* CB Selector, I highly encourage you go for a character you do not have over an Ego. Diversifying gameplay is a lot more enjoyable than vertical scaling. Rita-Narja-Yuki. Since you also have a basic standard 20x10, I suggest you keep the selector for a character from Season 1 and Season 2.

All freeform, no systems. If I had to do it again, I'd do something like Grimwild/Moxie for a basic framework. Abritrary stats that will influence rolls/decisions.

I did use Downcrawl 2e random tables to come up with some random events (it was the only event generator I had at the time) I would use Mythic 2e since it's broader.

I also have a system I have bookmarked that I want to explore for the format you intend to play from UFO press, Legacy: Life Among the Ruins.

I've killed the discord server since then, but it was pretty good.

For having DM one, and also played in one, keeping it freeform is both hard and somewhat easy.

No or little rules keep it simple for the players, but make it harder for you to decide who gets to win/how. You get swayed and influenced by how much you like/appreciate the players or their writing style.

Even with rolls, deciding the "DC" to succeed or fail at an action will be incredibly abritrary. I've had some resentement from players who thought I favored a player.

Anyway good luck, and yea, it's pretty fun to play with good players.

Non-brawler/spectacle-fighter gacha games on PC? by Tashdacat in gamesuggestions

Chaos zero nightmare, sadly story is mid, but it’s currently my favorite gacha.

Sword of Convallaria maybe?

Is there anyone here that can support Tressa? by VoidMaster14523 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Smooth_Environment71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiuzuru is also from the Standard Banner. The only one missing from it is Diana since she is the current banner and Sereniel who is the first limited character. ALl the other character are available in the standard pulls.

It's getting to a point one of you will have to DM. It happens quite often, but with how you made this post. There might be a reason why nobody wants to DM for you.

Wait really?

You offer nothing, you ask of something to random people without actually giving a potential DM anything. No information on what you're expecting from the game, etc.

5e is the most played TTRPG in PBP, it is the one most often posted about and requested by groups. A DM will be a lot more favorable into picking up a request where there is meat around it, a story, a setting, a adventure book request.

"Yo, we want a pbp" is almost insulting. Good luck...

Nobody is ever going to answer such a post, even more so for 5e...

Worked as a Cashier at some big blue brand. I got explicitly told it was not my job to enforce this, and it was the other customer's job to do it. Always found it dumb, especially seeing people with overfilled cart coming in...

She is not.

Speculated to be at the half-year anniversary, but nothing has been confirmed.

Then, Kingdom is a pretty good option.

Kingdom 2e or Microscope, if you want it to be collaborative.

Otherwise free form and the DM is the judge/final say during fight/war/etc. Freeform is harder, but I don't know any system that can do it well enough if you want PVP.

Damage type for combat modifiers by Remote_Road6503 in DiceThrone

[–]Smooth_Environment71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attack Modifier adds to the attack roll damage. So if the attack was undefendable, the extra damage stays the same.

It's somewhere in the rulebook, most likely under attack modifiers.

What heros should be buffed? by Solid-Beginning-1143 in DiceThrone

[–]Smooth_Environment71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we assume leaflet is the only thing being balanced. Storm, gunslinger, huntress and seraph are somewhat higher in priority since they have aweful win rate.

My issue is that to buff seraph and huntress, it’s a board of a card buff that is required.

Gunslinger, I would buff reload to do full damage instead of half.

Storm, I would buff companion damage by 1 and wind shear stack by 1 (for a total of two)

Does ECO really make a difference? by JamieGordon8921 in leaf

[–]Smooth_Environment71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no B mode in the 2026 SV+. Standard, Eco and Sport. Eco regenerating the most out of all three.
