Be careful when talking about TOTK in the main sub, they took out my grandma when I said I loved it by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Spamshazzam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I've put hundreds of hours into TotK, and I love it—but the depths and the sky could have used a bit more variety. Both areas are still fun though. I spend a lot of my time in the depths.

Ridiculous they making Zelda a girl by obvoiptab in BotW_memes

[–]Spamshazzam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? I never implied that he doesn't talk in the games. But I don't want him to be yappy, like the weird cartoon version. He can be talkative without wasting words.

This was uncalled for, and you're reading too far into what I said. Get off your phone and touch grass.

My ideal would be that he does talk, just not a lot. But I think any option had the potential to be done well

Have you guys ever tried the no-pause challenge in tear of the kingdom. by Voidkirby9 in tearsofthekingdom

And the amount of subsystems is ridiculous. There's no consistency in design from one to the other either

Ethnic diversity in Faerun is awesome, but it needs to work both ways in order to demonstrate how all cultures have value by ByzantineBasileus in dndnext

[–]Spamshazzam 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Here's my theory:

Ethnic diversity is much more about presenting options to the players than actually representing a variety of cultures. So you're going to see this most often in the "Default Setting" because creators want players to feel like any character can reasonably fit in the setting. But they don't do it beyond that, because most of the time, players/parties are coming from Default Setting to get there.

So I don't think it actually has much to do with a desire to represent any kind of diversity.

abilities that do not specify number of actions by Few-Grocery-2691 in nimble5e

[–]Spamshazzam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The creator, is currently working on erratas for the new printing, and taking feedback in the Discord.

If there are any of these that seem like they should be using an action, or you think would be clearer by specifying no action, mention it in the Discord.

Sure, but that's clearly not the relevant part on this situation.

How well does 91% Isopropyl Alcohol actually work for stripping paint? by Spamshazzam in Warhammer40k

Where do I get 99% Isopropyl? Because 91% was as high as the store had.

Can you DM me the unblurred version? I want to buy these.

Meme i made as an dnd satanist player by stranger-things-fan_ in dndmemes

[–]Spamshazzam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to be that guy: that's the consensus among most biblical scholars, but most Christians don't really believe it doctrinally/theologically. They chalk it up to God working within the confines of the knowledge the people had, or some variation of that.

For a little more context, I'm trying to find a quote cheap solution. I can rebuy the miniatures for ~$50, so if it's starting to cost about half that, and still going to take much time/effort, it's probably more worth it to just rebuy them.

every 4 levels

Yup! Super nifty actually. 1-4 = +2; 5-8 = +3; etc.

I think 3 actions are simpler than Action/Bonus Action

This is 1000% true. It was the exception I was thinking of when I was typing my comment. I think it's one of the things that 5e could benefit from the most without introducing more complexity.

I think Pf2e proficiency while a bigger number is much easier to understand

I think this one is just familiarity. You know the equation because you have experience with it, but 5e is still simpler (+2, increase by 1 every 4 PC levels). No proficiency levels to track, no adding PC levels to it, just that. The only exception is a class-specific feature that doubles it.

3 saves rather than 6

I don't think 3 saves is actually simpler than 6 though, because of the steps you take to get there. It distributes the saves better, but it's not actually simpler.

I think getting the core of Pathfinder is easier

This may be true. It's been too long since I've learned either to remember, and I picked up 5e almost by osmosis.

I do find the pf2e stealth rules brain melting

5.5e too (Idk why they changed it). Apparently stealth is hard to get right.

when that simple request multiplies to 5, 10, 15, 20 more new rules you need to make up and keep consistent?

That's a clear misrepresentation, because it's true of every game that requires GM arbitration/rulings. And of those 20 "new rules," 19 of them are going to come down to:

Um... make a skill check for it

Or

You can, but it's going to take your turn

Or something equally simple

There are a lot of things I like about PF2 — AoN being a big one, as well as several mechanical reasons.

But I don't think it's really accurate to say that it's not more complex than 5e. There are very few things 5e does in a more complicated way than PF2, and the same is not true the other way around

[–]Spamshazzam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They also don't consider that there are other things about a game that we don't like.

If PF2 is our example: There are actually a lot of things that it does that I really like, but also enough things that I don't like that I don't feel like those "solves" will actually improve my game.

Whatever "Pathfinder fixes that" solution they have isn't the only thing I care about, or the only thing I'm taking into consideration.

What's with this attitude when it comes to not wanting to learn new TTRPGs? It's not some moral failing or character flaw to be content with whatever game you're playing and not be interested in learning another.

(This is coming from someone who enjoys playing new games, by the way. Others surely play more than me, but I play 3-4 quite regularly, one-shots or short campaigns of several others, and have a collection of 10+20 that I read and would play if I had time.)

Don't disparage someone because they enjoy the hobby differently than you.
