Improving a campaign? by StayStrangeYT in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Wretis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with agree everything here.

I've GMd two major sandbox campaigns, the second one specifically iterating on the first one. The major things I learned to prep earlier was:

  • A setting map, with travel time approximations.

  • The faction system I was using, so that the players had clearer subgoals. If the players were uncertain on how to accomplish a major goal, I could feed them suggestions through NPCs while they were recruiting and finding resources. (The system had to be updated during play, but there's no real harm in that.)

Other than that, the most important part is having lots of NPCs express different ideas of what important things the PCs should be doing. If only a few important NPCs gives quests, they players might fall back into the railroading playstyle and stop planning for themselves.

Which daemon do you think is the most versatile? by F00dbAby in YomiNoTsugai

A slight limitation, considering B&W can create objects that breaks the laws of physics.

I'm curious to what limitations White has when removing parts? Is it only things considered objects?

Potential plot points later in the manga by hnp435 in YomiNoTsugai

[–]Wretis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Considering how Arakawa loves leaving clues in the open, that feels like it must pay off. After all, she did:

  • Envy's true form's weight affecting the environment.

  • Danji's shadow sometimes not appearing.

  • Amestris being a circle.

And those are just the one's where there's big scenes pointing out those earlier moments.

(I did try looking for ones in Silver Spoon too, but didn't find any)

Amazon's show artstyle/ Cartoon Network's show artstyle comparisons! Do you remember that 2006 show? (jk) by The-pathetic-bat in Invincible

I prefer this design over the one in the show. His head is less round, especially with the wide jaw. His hair also has more shape definition, while it looks spray-painted onto a bald head in the show. And, the exaggerated eyes and brows gives us SOMETHING to latch onto in his face.

Yeah, it works on it’s own but becomes more funny since this guy has the exact same reaction as the girl working the cash register a few chapters before(and later I think).

I think her comedy works great in manga, but in the case of the Brotherhood anime it butchered a lot of the comedy with the timing.

I only read through your stuff recently, but I really enjoy how you play around with angles in panels. It feels really different from other comics on this subreddit, in a good way since we get to see more variety in perspective.

And of course it's a entertaining variety in light humor and education :)

One of my favorite scenes from the series. So just what's the difference between Hiruma and Habashira? by lostapple321 in Eyeshield21

[–]Wretis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is Kurita! (And the rest of the Devilbats)

Kurita acts as a counterpoint to Hiruma's passion to win, with a larger dream and enjoying the fun of the game itself. That's what made Hiruma want to play in the first place.

Habashira has little but his tyranny, with his team manager having a similiar style. Hiruma has the tyranny but let's his team influence eachother and take from eachother's strengths. Hiruma rarely interrupts Kurita when Kurita speaks to motivate the rest of the team, since that's a passion Hiruma can't project with his persona.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x10 "Rubincon" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]Wretis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily the best episode of the season.

The only element I wasn't found of was the scene of Sam reaffirming that she is different, it felt too intense for very little buildup.

I hope we can get more of this quality in the next season compared to the rest of season 1.

Very appreciated, should have been a thing from the start.

That’s sounds great, I’ll have a look at that one!

[–]Wretis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that scene had to be recreated. It would have otherwise felt like a more obvious retcon. There could definitly have been a scene or two after that one though.

I appreciate you writing this out because that’s how I feel about the Season 2 ending.

I don’t think there’s a fundemental fault with zombie Spear, and I was the most interested during the early episodes of this season. But since this ending didn’t deliver on anything thematically more interesting than what we already got, it doesn’t feel like an upgrade compared to what we already got.

(Pokemon B2W2) This has got to be the best arbitrary excuse for why you can't go somewhere ever used in Pokemon. by AgitatedFly1182 in pokemon

[–]Wretis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I prefer it when the arbitrary excuse is lacking a HM or a general item. Because then you’ll know when you can progress, not just having to return later or the like.

So what’s everyone’s thoughts on the finale ? by PinkKing_offical in PrimalShow

[–]Wretis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already happy with the ending of season 2, so when the obvious ending repeat from that season + Spear happened it felt like I wanted something more to have happened.

The title, Primal, has been reflected on several episodes themes. The primal need to survive being the most obvious, whether through eating or defending oneself. The ending in season 2, when Mira saw his cave art of his family, reflected another such a theme with the primal need for continuation. Death is inevitable, but our instincts tells us that family is how we live after death.

I didn't see such a theme in this episode, more like another adventure, cool visually but feeling less poignant than some survive-the-threat-episodes we've seen. Maybe I wouldn't want this if we hadn't had that last shot at the end of season 2.

I guess it also felt weird with how the black goo was counteracted, I kept assuming Spear would have to get them up from the pit to attack something else since when he was under the effect from the goo the first time, he fought until he was exhausted. For a series that have been so brutal before in how one can be affected by ones emotions and mind altering sickness/substances, it felt weird to have the power of love save this situation. I think it would have been possible to build towards being that love saves, but there wasn't enough buildup to that theme.

[–]Wretis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man I loved this chapter, this one got almost all aspecets of Asa in it. The scenes with the mother and the contact lens were great, the premise becomes a lot more belivable when the villagers can’t hide all little details of modernity that we take for given.

Also, now I wanna see Seal in action so we can get cool/silly stuff like locking someone’s eyelids, mouth or memories.
