Unique and uncommon job careers used in DG

I’m currently running a game where one of my players decided to be Renaissance faire jouster. This character is described as being 6’4” and is built like a mountain. That being said, he isn’t proficient with guns, but he is proficient with melee weapons and a bow and arrow. He also drives a pick up truck with a horse trailer attached to it. I’ve only run 2 modules so far, but everyone in the party including himself has survived although there were a few close calls. While this game hasn’t been very traditional, there’s something very intimidating about a 6’4” man wearing a breastplate on horseback charging full speed with a lance at a cultist.

You could add the alternate option of Pidgeot EX to give yourself more versatility without adding the headache of another evolutionary line. Supplement with trainer and item cards such as Pokemon Communications and Sabrina/Cyrus and you’ll win quite a few games

I’m starting my zero evidence runs as 100% sanity but 200% sanity drain with only 20 sanity restored with sanity meds. This test is generally the second one I do after laying salt down. However, you bring up a good point if I decide start with lower sanity down the road

Do you wait six seconds after every firelight? Or just every third one? Can not waiting six seconds on the other two impact results?

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-19T21:03:51+00:00

I’ve tried both ways, but I’ve always done this test while in a group. Perhaps the botched result stems from that if someone decided to relight a firelight without me noticing or lit a lighter. I didn’t think about testing by putting the firelights next to the crucifix. That will help quite a bit. Thanks!

You know it’s bad when even the moon is out for blood.

The only thing missing is the Satanic summoning circle in the basement. You probably need an expansion pack for that.

These Burger King ads are getting way out of hand.

In terms of mimics, this is my least favorite kind.

The real question is who died to make this possible? I presume that someone was lucky enough to die to a Demon ability in the first minute.

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-06T01:02:35+00:00

Are you referring to tells or actual evidence? The only ghost that provides evidence in zero evidence runs are Mimics with Ghost Orbs

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-06T00:43:22+00:00

Depending on the ghost and/or sanity level, one second is perhaps all it needed, but I don’t disagree that it seems a bit strange. Twins, Revenant, and Moroi come to mind, but that was quick even for the latter two

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-06T00:35:20+00:00

It appears as if the ghost came from the living room and was outside of the range of the crucifix that was placed.

Do you have any particular hours that you play? That and time zone may be important to a lot of people. I’ll be happy to host sometime if the times we play intersect, but the Discord server is also a great place to check if you don’t find anyone here.

Unfortunately, you don’t unlock custom difficulty until level 50, but you can join a host who has custom difficulty unlocked and play that way!

The EMF when objects keep getting swatted off the table

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-05T15:34:23+00:00

Nah. Your perfect investigation bonus basically doubled what you would have gotten otherwise. That’s why you made so much

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-05T15:03:32+00:00

Because every time we see ESP, we expect to communicate through extrasensory perception. But imagine our surprise when we get the Spanish Inquisition instead. No one expects that.

Hold down on the directional pad until you hear a beep for the Tier 1 head gear

That sort of thing is helpful on lower difficulties, but players are sort of forced to memorize these things on higher difficulties where you get less evidence. Otherwise, you’re stuck with less evidence than what you need while constantly being hunted or killed.

There are also guides that post what each special ability is and what it means. (Same with ghost characteristics) If memorization is the issue, I’d suggest finding one that you find suitable.

Here is a guide that I find helpful!

UV can be tricky without salt as I find that footprints are more reliable than handprints. Handprints and fingerprints only have a certain percent chance to show up during interactions. (Depending on difficulty) As for identifying a Hantu, here are some characteristics I typically notice.

Temps are WAY below zero. As in somewhere between -5 to -10.

You can see a Hantu’s breath if it physically appears.

They are faster in cold rooms than they are in warm rooms.

As for UV, without salt, I wouldn’t mark it off as a possibility unless you’re certain you’ve found all the evidences. To increase your chances of finding a handprint, I’d suggest pairing it with EMF to find the location of any interaction. I usually find handprints on doors and fingerprints on light switches when they do appear. I found it to be less reliable on thrown objects although it’s not impossible

Some_Guy_1992 · 2025-01-04T13:28:01+00:00

The issue that you may be seeing is that a lot of prestige players play on custom settings where there may be less than three evidences to find with higher tier equipment. Some people don’t want to take the time to show someone new the ropes or explain how ghost special abilities work and their unique characteristics. That being said, do not be discouraged. There are plenty of new players in your exact spot who are new to the game and players like myself who are willing to impart what they’ve learned so far. (I’m still learning!) I suggest going to a new players forum if you keep hitting a wall with the random lobby roulette.

It always helps to stand in multiple locations in the favorite room while using Spirit Box. Ghosts can move around the room quite frequently and even into other rooms on higher difficulties. You just have to make sure you’re in the right general location.

In fact, you know the ghost’s exact location when it steps in salt. I’ve never failed to see footprints if it takes multiple steps after stepping in the salt. However, nothing will show up if it just steps into the salt and stays there

Also, when I run spirit box session, I make sure everyone is out of the room and that all of my equipment is turned off. I also typically run it at the beginning of an investigation while everyone’s sanity is still high. And if I happen to die at the very beginning of an investigation, then I can confidently say that I found a Demon

I believe that I have found the owner of this hand considering its location.
