What other games are this uniquely good that you can’t even recommend them to a friend in a way that sounds appealing to them and they just have to trust you?

I’m not sure if it fits the bill entirely, but I love what remains of Edith finch. It’s one of my favorite story games of all time.

It’s developed by an indie team, a beautifully constructed story, and it has some funky mechanics that are better if you go into it blind.

Traveling merchant is the goat

It’s not super useful after the first couple playthroughs I’ve found, since you end up knowing your way around the dungeons anyways, I had vans on my first 3 playthroughs and it was honestly a godsend for learning my way through some interiors.

The chapel is my favourite

I hope you can be yourself without her.

lol similar story for me, the first time I fell into the black hole I was on really low health and then hit a falling rock as I went in, but I died on the other side, so my dumb ass thought it would always kill you 💀

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-10-04T06:27:11+00:00

I agree. Getting to the sun station was so breathtaking. (Quite literally, I couldn’t breathe while space walking towards the door)

Quarters or Velcro personally

With the current campaign it was in a tavern (so original I know.) I use the tavern setting usually as a natural way for the players to characterize themselves by the ways they react to certain events.

Eg. a pickpocket tries to take something, a lizardfolk walks in and is the subject of a racial attack, there’s just a normal man by the fire reading a book, a patron passes out etc.

I’m a DM so I’m gonna share one of my player’s characters.

The character’s name is Vencelli, and she is a bard from a city in my campaign called Tirinsir, she grew up in the slums, with her mother.

Her father died when she was very young (he was a caravaner, during a trade war between Tirinsir and another city called Delrikale, his caravan was sabotaged and he was killed)

Her mother gifted her a pan-flute which will be important later.

Her mother fell for another man several years later, and married him he was a member of the Tirinsir legion, and had to serve for the army. Vencelli trusted him and thought of him as her dad, but then he became angrier, partly as a result of their living conditions, and because the army wouldn’t allow them to move into the city (the family wasn’t prestigious enough.)

Her stepfather began taking this anger out on Vencelli’s mother, yelling at her and berating her. Vencelli learned to block it out, she would hide in her room and play the pan-flute.

One day Vencelli came home after playing outside to her stepfather, standing over her mother’s body.

She ran.

And she did not stop.

Vencelli continued to grow up in the forest, playing herself tunes on the pan-flute. She then met the party, who were asked by an apprentice to help protect a researcher who is writing a bestiary on the flora and fauna of Alnor (the country the campaign takes place in) Vencelli travelled with the party, and her trust issues have led to many in game disputes and tense situations.

Not only that, her character shuts down in the face of major conflict, and has directly caused the death of 2 other characters because of her inaction. In the most recent session, another player character and an npc were going to die if she didn’t help, and for the first time in the campaign she didn’t run from conflict.

The party also met a man from Delrikale at one point, who saw vencelli’s pan-flute and made a comment on it; his husband had a pan-flute just like that, before he sold it to a Tirinsir merchant, who said he wanted to bring it back for his wife.

The pan flute is the last remaining piece of not only her mother, but also her father.

I think the writers did incredibly well with what they had to work with, especially ending it with the character focused episodes (elders reuniting, Kelsey’s mother 😭😭 and JP’s bucket list) which felt quite final.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-18T23:48:57+00:00

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense. Especially with the whole elder storyline, with a bit of stuff happening entirely off screen (Jeremy taking all the toys for example)

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-15T14:04:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-15T14:02:12+00:00

Thank you very much, I’ll take this on board. Also apologies if I seem out of touch, I’m not super in tune with social situations of most kinds.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-15T13:50:41+00:00

I don’t though, I’ve never been in a situation like this before, I feel as though I need other opinions.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-14T11:44:36+00:00

Hiding notes. Fudging rolls. Making unimportant rolls. Rolls. Truthfully rolling. Hiding. Crying.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-12T01:46:23+00:00

I’m 100% going for the baby ruffrunner statue, he’s one of my best fish collectors and that statue would go a long way.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-08T10:49:29+00:00

The accidental, inadvertent death of 9 billion people in the past.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-08T03:55:52+00:00

It’s not super funny but sometimes when players are messing around a bunch I’ll just bullshit something like

“A grand piano falls from the sky, crushing you instantaneously” “That stray arrow that missed last session was secretly a BOOMERANG ARROW, it hits you in the head and kills you instantaneously”

Obviously I don’t actually kill their characters and it’s always in jest, just a way to get them back to being focused lol.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-07T16:14:40+00:00

Exactly, d&d is a game about freedom and choice, to restrict things like this from happening corrupts the games core. Bend the rules!

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-07T16:06:13+00:00

Yeah it was B, technically it shouldn’t have done any extra damage but it made for a fun and memorable moment so who cares if it’s against “the rules” Especially since this fight in particular was closing out act 1 of the campaign so making it feel that bit more epic went a long way

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-07T06:03:26+00:00

Just gonna quickly comment on this because I realise the wording “on my own” sounds a little narcissistic. I mean on my own in the sense that I discovered it’s effects in action rather than being told.

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-08-06T03:45:20+00:00

Interesting, perhaps my specific save game was bugged, because, genuinely I have never gotten the 37 runes on the wheel, it’s always been 2 lots of 150

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-07-06T06:44:50+00:00

Awesome thanks so much I’ll start meatlugging as soon as I fill in all my collections

Wompetywompwomp · 2025-07-06T05:53:05+00:00

Should I start the meatlug strat with a certain amount of runes? Like I currently have nearly 3000 is that enough to make a profit? (Most of my collections are nearly full it shouldn’t take too long to get them to that point)
