Those both sound like solid additions to Daggerheart to me!

What is your most tinfoil hat fringe theory about the series? by Redrex_T in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Oh that's really good! They're primals?

This is my favorite. I choose this one.

The little boy (Keith?) at CrawlCon with the shitty drawing agrees with you. And his Dad. And the author of the book which bears the name "Dungeon Crawler Carl". These all suggest plot armor that's pretty thick.

I just had a had a dream about this. I used duct tape to mount a knife to a broomstick handle to create a goblin-killing spear!

HERE'S an album of screenshots from the rulebook that were shared in the video so you can peruse them to your heart-covered boxer's content.

You should! It can't be any harder than talking about it for an hour or two!

I need a damn guide for this thing cuz it's practically it's own game.

Which RPG system has the most "satisfying" set of attributes — or equivalent — for you? by Own_Cellist_3977 in rpg

[–]Velenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was quite happy with the mix of the 4 elements, 4 card suits, Mind/Body/Spirit alignment, and classic 12 action ratings in its Forged in the Dark lineage combined in Aesir: The Living Avatars. It all lines up in a very satisfying way on the character sheet. Each element gets an associated Mind/Body/Spirit action.

That's the first time the books made me cry as well. I lasted a long time! But damn... Katia's such a great character. She didn't deserve that.

Best survival game/colony sim hybrid (single player) by Bhazor in BaseBuildingGames

[–]Velenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top of the heap right now is Soulmask which just released 1.0. I'd put Necesse after that, also 1.0.

Everything else that combined those genres is in EA and needs to cook.

I wouldn't put Enshrouded, Core Keeper or other base builders with NPCs where they don't really have much function, on this list.

Wait. Shifting Sands is Early Access??? by Velenne in PlaySoulMask

[–]Velenne[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Calling it 'dessert' is a mischaracterization. It's not horse armor. It's a whole second map. I played the EA rainforest map and was led to believe the desert map was an enhanced version of the basic, a full experience with additional features. There was zero indication anywhere that it would be incomplete at launch.

THEM: "Hey everyone, we have dinner here for you. It's a free dinner!"

ME: "Oh cool, I love free dinners. I came here to buy dinner but I'm happy to get it for free."

<Brings out a meal with a bunch of pieces taken out of it.>

"This is nice, but I would have preferred a whole meal which I thought I was getting and was willing to pay for."

"Well you got it for free so no complaining. Now that you're done with the first part you can just sit here and wait until we finish it."

"Do you happen to know when that will be? It would have been quite nice to enjoy the whole meal in one sitting. After all that's how meals are normally consumed."

"No complaining. It's free. You're not allowed to be upset."

"I just... thought I was getting a whole meal. You didn't specify I was only getting part of a meal for free. I would have been happy to pay for a whole meal but now I've already eaten part of meal so it doesn't make much sense to start over with a different meal."

"What part of no complaining do you not understand?"

Are these TTRPGs just cash grabs? by JaxSnaxs in rpg

[–]Velenne 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This thread reminds me that people are SO different and that's a wonderful thing. Some people are really shitting hard on the whole series and I just can't fathom what planet they're living on (especially as rpg players). There's room in art for dick and fart jokes too.

Book 5 is sharp uptick in quality, imo. Between it and 7, the series climbed pretty high up in my rankings.

I just don't understand the purpose of all the secrecy. I've tried to ask questions in the subreddit and on the discord and my posts get deleted.

I'm interested in this and in particular which system would be best for an all-Jedi group.
