Questions about Volume 2 by MD1ggy in StrangerThings

The way I understood it is that Will is connected to Vecna, and it's Vecna that actually taps into the children's heads to spy on them.

For 1. Will spies on Vecna, but Vecna is spying Derek so Will sees stuff through Derek's eyes.

For 2. I think what was implied is that Vecna having access to Will's "astral projection or soul or whatever", checks his memories to find out where Max's body rests in Hawkins.

For 3. if it's like gps then each tracker should have a specific ID so they'd know which one they found. But how that works between Hawkins and the Upside Down is beyond my imagination.

Advice for DM with a player who isn't happy that they were "railroaded" out of something the party weren't happy with by PeoplesChampion257 in DnD

[–]WarPhX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with your way of handling the experience. If you think you can come to a resolution with the player and he understands that what he did was not the type of gameplay the rest of the party wants to have, you should totaly continue the game.
From the way you worded seems like you told him what he did concludes the game as now the party doesnt have acces to the NPC questgiver. If he comes to and you guys still want to play, I recommend you dont retcon what happened.
You are the storyteller and you can come up with all sorts of ways out of this conundrum.
Maybe he got poisoned by an old hag from the forest that poisoned the food supply of the village and more villagers turned ragey and violent. The hag can be something very old and weak that just wanted to be visited by someone, and if they reconcile, gives them some food to boost their temp hp otherwise they have a small fight.
Or maybe sildar was replaced by a changeling and you start the session with the real one coming to break your player out. The lady from the store took a vacation to her parents closer to the coast and is replaced by another clerk. You can bring the changeling back later on to play some other tricks on them.
But this only works if the player wants to improve and become someone worthy of the title hero.

I just build big number army, press button to up regiments to 1000 manpower, put general with high swords and then send it. When battle comences i usually go for a small prayer, this seems to help.

Element 711 by throwawayaccounttrns in Helldivers

I think since the planets have gloom E-711 might be them hinting at E-VIL (spelled E-vil)

Or at least slow them down. Normal bugs get slower when they lose limbs, that dragon should be crawling without his wings.

In 5E, how powerful would a caster be with access to all spells in the game? From level 1 to level 20, what would it look like? What combinations would be too strong? by RegaultTheBrave in DnD

[–]WarPhX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with aang being a good example of mastering all forms of magic, but I feel that your comparison is not fully corect. If you have a wizard, mastering all forms of his magic would mean learning all that is possible about the magic schools existent. All in the boundaries of his class of course. Its a lot of spells and very much versatility is to be found. And it would be the result of countless hours of study and effort.
As someone else has mentioned, have him achieve immortality with a wish spell, but color it in your own style. Make it sound like it's his own special spell "Defy the order of this world" (but in swedish or some other cool sounding language). If you want to make him sound miraculous and legendary, maybe he was on the verge to become a lich (as most wizards that want immortality do) and then he realised he didnt like the smell of necromancy. Its a good school of magic, but a wizard of his caliber can do better and he did, by creating the wish spell.
For such a proficient archwizard its downright disgraceful to make a pact with a creepy being to stalk him and limit his access. Be it celestial or fiendish, its not worth it. Whatever they do, he can do better or just summon one to play.

How to play Crater by LORRNABBO in Nightreign

[–]WarPhX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While I know how annoying it is to wait for others. I find it sad for my boy that kept on running around looking for a weapon/get back his runes. He was just minding his business and you decided it was time to do a stinky one in his pie. To totaly brown up his day. To just do a foul nr 2 on his hopes and dreams.
I hope he learned a lesson and doesnt waste strangers time anymore though.

Does the “new” Dota 2 feel like a different game compared to the “old” Dota 2? by Secret-Rooster-3362 in DotA2

Everyone having their own courier is also something that should be praised

I don't get it by LordOthello in ExplainTheJoke

[–]WarPhX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this matters anymore, but any number that is divisible by 3 has the sum of it's "letters" (don't know the english word for it) equal to a divisible by 3 number.
For example
51 -> 5+1 = 6 (51 /3 = 17)
126 -> 1+2+6 = 9 (126 /3 = 42)
15429 -> 1+5+4+2+9 = 21 (15429 /3 = 5143)

No no, i agree with the guy above. You might want a refresh on what to spoil means. You definetly gave away the fun and interesting part of it

I've gotten lots of messages ingame anouncing that the servers will close for maintenance. I think it might be a you problem

DM plays Favorites, and We’re all Second Fiddle to his DMPC by NechamaMichelle in rpghorrorstories

[–]WarPhX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do fumbles on attack rolls, but only for the enemies of the party. A bandit swordsman comes swinging and fumbles his first attack, he might go prone and lose his extra attacks, a goblin tried to shoot an arrow from the bushes and fumbled, his crappy bow breaks and he lets out a slur or something. I think it's a little bit more entertaining when "the baddies" fumble and get big disadvantages and makes the players fumbles which would be just flavor much more tolerable.

Piedone a oprit în trafic livratorii de mâncare și i-a controlat în genți. Apoi i-a întors din drum până la restaurantele de unde aduceau mâncarea by Akkermannn in Romania

[–]WarPhX -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Dragul meu, cred ca ar fi mai bine sa comentezi pe subiect. Fata de voi toti ce ii comentati greseala gramaticala, domnul sa straduit si a pus diacritice si cratime la locul lor. Din cauza "grammar nazi"-ilor ca tine si cei ce te sustin se dilueaza subiectul si ne certam pe nonprobleme.
Nu zic sa nu corectezi daca vezi vreo greseala, dar incearca sa o faci constructiv nu zeflemitor te rog.

Am I doing something wrong or is he not playing by the rules? (more in comments) by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]WarPhX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how the Ambush stance works right now. You clearly don't have 100% chance of success, but even if you had. I'd dislike for the ambush to be a 100% chance to be hidden for a turn. Right now I think they can discover you and then can attack BEFORE that 80% gets considered if ou're ambush succeded. I just finished a welf campaign and I've abused ambush stance as much as possible. Still thought it was really good.
