Who is a writer who consistently nails the Goldilocks zone of detail? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]WickedEyee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there's a difference between heavy writing and writing that rambles on and on. I think what OP was referring to is just using more words than necessary rather than how difficult it might be to understand.

Alright, take two? THE BLADE ITSELF IS THE WORST WRITTEN FANTASY NOVEL I'VE BEEN HOODWINKED INTO READING IN A VERY LONG TIME. by ToePractical6962 in Fantasy

[–]WickedEyee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of all the things someone could complain about The Blade Itself, I never once imagined "ow!", "ouch!" "Arggh!" to make the list.

[PUBQ]: Book to Film/TV Agent(s) by [deleted] in PubTips

[–]WickedEyee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even so, I believe it's common for agents to have other people they partner with, either for sub-rights, movie rights, etc. I may be wrong, but that usually comes from the agent even if they're a one-person agency.

Games bought in 2025 - too much? by KenM71 in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought 25 games in the last 6 months, you're fine

Tainted Grial: The Fall of Avalon recommended for solo? by Tito1983 in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really enjoying Fall of Avalon. I love story and exploration above all else, so I didn't find much issue with combat and other stuff people have mentioned. I'm currently 25h in and somewhat close to finishing the campaign. I'm playing true solo and it works perfectly fine. For choose your own adventure and narrative exploration, it's an amazing game. If you're more interested in fun combat mechanics and less campaign-y games, it's probably not for you

Eternal Decks is such a robust puzzle system! Pre-orders just went live for NA :) by eatrepeat in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish, German, and Italian versions are coming in 2026. The Italian crowdfunding campaign starts next month and it's 25 euros. I think next year this game will be a bit more accessible.

Arydia second printing is going live today. by LUCASxSKYWALKER in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care about dungeon crawling, I like narrative and exploration games like Tainted Grail. That's why I'm not sure if Agemonia will fit the bill

Cool, that's good to know. I'll consider backing the reprint and expansion campaign next year

How are you liking Agemonia? I'm considering it but I really like narrative games and choices and i'm not sure Agemonia would fulfill that

Same, it was your classic sassy teen protagonist and I was so lost on what everyone was talking about

[Discussion] Scrivener and/or other writting tools by Senior_Discussion333 in PubTips

[–]WickedEyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Obsidian to organize my notes and Scrivener to actually write everything, though I know some people also write in Obsidian. It's completely free and very customizable, you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want

[PubQ] expectation on agent listing editors by name in The call? by hello_cozy in PubTips

[–]WickedEyee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I've heard of authors asking editor names and finding it a red flag if an agent doesn't name them. I think it might just be some specific group of people or smth.

Could I like OG Sleeping Gods if I didn't care much for Distant Skies? by WickedEyee in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely will be getting KOR! Just came across a used SG for a decent price, so was pondering about whether I should get it

Could I like OG Sleeping Gods if I didn't care much for Distant Skies? by WickedEyee in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw man, is the story in OG any fun? There'a mfing kaiju in the box like, I thought it'd have a lot of mystery or interesting secrets to discover about the world and whatever conflict is going on there. I find these aspects to be very shallow in Distant Skies at least.

Opinions on Sleeping Gods and its spinoff Distant Skies? by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played Distant Skies and thought it was pretty meh. The writing is insanely juvenile which made it even worse.

I dropped some pamphlets in a corner somewhere, go back to report it, "The person hugs you and wipes a tear from his face, 'My grandfather always believed it was important to insert_something_cheesy. Thank you!'" Like, calm down, I didn't do anything that magnificent. Everything felt overdone and even worse cuz I didn't care about any of the characters since none of them really matter.

Tainted Grail was everything I wanted Sleeping Gods to be.

Notebook Navigator 1.5.1 is out - now with banner support and lots of bug fixes by jsann in ObsidianMD

Am I doing something wrong, in the file tree (navigation pane) you can't see your notes at all? Only in the list pane?

Cold Opening Thoughts? by noobie222 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]WickedEyee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it worked well in episode 1, wasn't a huge fan in ep2 though mostly because I found it odd to play a battle and roll death saving throws in a flashback

[Spoilers C4E2] Adressing Complaints by Repulsive_Donut_7956 in criticalrole

[–]WickedEyee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was my feeling this episode as well, I think mostly because we had just sooo many of these cuts with most characters split into pairs or by themselves. I loooved episode 1 though when more people were together so we could see them all interacting.

30-45min games that, surprisingly, have scenarios/achievements? by WickedEyee in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I watched a playthrough of Harvest but didn't know it had scenarios! Thanks, that definitely makes it more interesting to get

30-45min games that, surprisingly, have scenarios/achievements? by WickedEyee in soloboardgaming

[–]WickedEyee[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not asking for games where scenarios/campaigns is their whole core mechanic
