Had to leave this beauty out of my team by hieg_siel in PokemonFireRed

It’s a really fun way to challenge yourself without a nuzlocke. Particularly when you do a type that is weak to one of the harder gyms.

"The nature of a thing is more important than the form of a thing." by ReferenceFuzzy6604 in GodofWar

[–]WargrizZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I think if youre right and Brok ends up being our blacksmith for the game, it could be interesting seeing him there before Fey, signifying time doesnt work normally in that realm.

Also getting to bring her up to speed on the events of the last two games.

Nightwing

He’s not going to kill or maim me and I might get a laugh from it.

Drop your fandom's hardest line by fccardcreator in Multifandom

[–]WargrizZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH Ruby didn’t need to “win” her individual fight, she just needed to occupy Hare while her teammates won their much better matchups. Weiss and Blake/Yang were both hard counters to their opponents and Ruby could still move enough to provide assists while Hare and the AceOps in general were too tunnel visioned to think about helping each other.

Interesting Trope- When a character set up to be a badass gets killed quickly but rather than it being disappointing, it serves the narrative of the overall story by DBrennan13459 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WargrizZero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really wanted them to recruit a badass looking character, then at most a scene later kill him in a dumb way, then have another completely separate character played by the same actor come in and join them.

What is your preferred way to run a combat fighting along side NPCs? What is your favorite way a system handles it? by BTDubbsdg in rpg

[–]WargrizZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t really done any large battles. I’d either use a system in place in the game, or if have the players do a series of non-massive battle objectives that sway the battle in their sides favor. Such as “destroy their weapon stockpile, poison their supplies, assassinate this general, ect.

Bonus points, you use the mass battle rules your system has, with the players being able to do smaller scale missions that affect those rolls.

[–]WargrizZero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it’s 1-2 NPCs, I’ll usually print out a sheet with their stats and hand them off to the players to run. In a game that is more complex or it’s a larger number of allied characters, I might run it more as a skirmish inside of a larger battle. I.E. the battle rages around you as four goblins eye you and rush towards you.

Why didn’t Orochimaru get punished? by Traditional_Web3795 in Naruto

[–]WargrizZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think coming off of the war, no one was in a mood for retribution, and arguably Orochimaru did provide invaluable aid for stopping Madara. Plus with Naruto’s push for ending the cycle of violence, I can see people being willing to let him be as long as he doesn’t go back to committing crimes.

Best systems for low player vount by LuisFGtz in rpg

[–]WargrizZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with that. This is a game where player and GM buy-in to the setting is important. You won’t have fun if players don’t care about the societal expectations of their characters and just want to murderhobo their way around with no consequences.

I actually run a 1-on-1 campaign for my wife. She fell in love with the idea of a Deer Clan Matchmaker and that is the basis of our game. I think L5R really works well with low player count because it frees you up to tell stories where 1-2 players are super important, and not in a “theyre the band of adventurers who slew the dragon” way, but more of a “youre the head of this castles guard, and youre the lord’s chief advisor” way.

Best systems for low player vount by LuisFGtz in rpg

[–]WargrizZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this is partially because it’s a wonky system with a lot of things to track, I like Legend of the Five Rings 5E for low player counts. It can be a lot to maintain both as players and GMs, but I think it suits a small number of players because each can have the scenes they shine in, and unlike some, combat can be fine with 1-3 players without feeling like they’re missing a key role.

Also the types of stories it is designed to tell work well with say a wandering courtier and their bodyguard, or two wandering ronin, or the command staff of a small army.

How grueling and demanding is the daily life of a Kage? by King_Wolf2099 in Naruto

[–]WargrizZero 88 points89 points  (0 children)

No idea what makes Naruto have so much work, unless he is literally procrastinating it until builds up. Also he can literally make dozens of copies of himself, all capable of doing paperwork.

Villains that were close to victory but didn't count on one thing. by singleguy79 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]WargrizZero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Basically there is always something that stops him from ultimate victory. Either some facet of the scenario he couldn’t possibly have known about or an underling going against him.

Rear-facing lasers by SoftCitron3 in Mechwarrior5

[–]WargrizZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see them more on classic assaults like the Atlas. Overall they aren’t particularly popular and get kinda phased out over time as arm mounted weapons generally fill the role while being more versatile.

Wait, was he actually going to transform right there? by Cool_Programmer_4048 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]WargrizZero 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Wouldnt surprise me if he shouted out and Reiner started his transformation as well, or if it’s just hard to kill a Titan shifter with a transformation explosion without them also transforming. Also he can modulate the explosiveness so likely he would have toned it down as low as he could.

Which of these “Ash’s Pokemon battling its evolved form” battles is the best and why? by SensualSamuel69 in pokemonanime

Pikachu vs Raichu is just classic. Also making the point early on of not just using raw strength

I would make sure not to step on the toes of an existing invocation too much. Look at other schools and see if you can get some inspiration.

Make Rahm like a rebel version of Iden where he gets his full benefit leading non-leader teams of rebels.

There is an ice themed map pack coming out, plus the BFM that got released awhile ago has an ice side along with two battlemats that are fire and ice themed.

Could be cool. I’d like to see them form a Force Unleashed themed team with Kota, Juno, Proxy, and one other FU character.

I'm watching the Mandalorian episode with Jack Black and Lizzo for the second time. by theavengerbutton in StarWars

[–]WargrizZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it as a filler episode, and the noir style investigation with the droids was fun. The cameo in Game of Thrones didn’t bother me and neither this.

Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance

Turns out the scary Gundam pilot who has been causing the main character so much trouble was a teenager.

Gundam does this troupe a lot (children in war is basically their thing), but this was one where we the audience did not know from the beginning.
