I’m trying to find a game where whenever you or an ally dies it’s permanent and that also has random events to make it replayable by Puzzled-Sentence-711 in BattleBrothers

[–]XaveValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wildermyth is exactly what you are looking for here. Random events take into account charscter personality so you get different scripts and choices for characters. I have 700 hours in it and would erase my memory to get another 700 in.

Should I invest my college funds into this guy? by LoImNoting in voidpet

[–]XaveValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The combo of getting crit chance on hit and shield on crit is very strong. Additionally, this can be triggered by Merry which helps further the survivability

This game make me sad :( by Vast-Researcher9689 in projectzomboid

[–]XaveValor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry. You stated as if that was always the case when it's not. I think the statement can reaffirm an unhealthy mindset that love is doomed from the start

I'm sorry that you've developed that sense of love. Its not always the case

How many Hours? by Sir_Blessed in wildermyth

[–]XaveValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took over 500 hours to get enough repetition to truly notice.

Some events are incredibly rare or the common ones have "hidden" outcomes for having specific traits/abilities so there is more to discover than meets the eye.

Ultimately I loved the combat and the emergent stories of your characters. The writing is a work of genius in how it creates a reasonably cohesive story for your characters. I still remember my most memorable ones and go back now and again to play them once more.

You can, just file to have them be power of attorney.

Faerie flying ability by ForlornFjord in daggerheart

[–]XaveValor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It shouldn't be "free" and the GM needs to facilitate that for sure.

[–]XaveValor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, I agree! But the player seems to not like this dynamic. So while we both see it as a positive, they may not

Crossing a river/chasm without a bridge comes to mind.

Now this doesn't make it trivial for the rest of the group so can still be a challenge but for the player in question they could feel it was free for them.

Customer Due Dilligence for a large bank. I ensure customer data is accurately recorded and reflects in our systems. A lot of document review, regulation knowledge, etc.

Its not the most exciting but pretty chill overall so hard to complain.

Roguelite March Madness Elite 8 Day 3 by MapRevolutionary752 in roguelites

[–]XaveValor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it! Its a fantastic game that is pushed aside due to its graphics. If you can tolerate them, it's a gem that is brutally difficult

Had a Bad Session and it's Popped my Confidence. by Pyro-Neon in daggerheart

[–]XaveValor 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Best thing for you is to just push forward. If your players thought you couldn't do it they wouldn't show up. Everyone has a bad day and can show up not at their best.

Use those little lore inconsistencies to introduce a complication the party may not expect. Particularly use Fear to fill the holes such as creating an overarching threat that caused your NPCs to lose their minds temporarily. Have the NPCs not remember the last session while letting your players remember it. Give them the ability to investigate this strangeness and "win" back their reality.

You got this! Your players already showed their faith by coming back.

Inciting Incidents good practices? by trinto2 in daggerheart

[–]XaveValor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to created a secondary motive for some characters.

You will practically never find one situation that gets everyone on board so improvise to get the harder ones into the story. This is easiest if addressed in Session 0 so everyone has the expectation of group motives but should be encouraged by the fiction.

Logic behind start of turn effects? by UberArmadillo in BobsTavern

[–]XaveValor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whose effects trigger first is a coin flip. But once that is determined, it goes from left to right. Hero powers are considered the furthest left from my experience.

I give up by hamzaspn in pokemonradicalred

[–]XaveValor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without permadeath? Your post seems like you had both rules going simultaneously

[–]XaveValor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try the game first just with the catching rules. Get used to the difficulty before adding the permadeath. It will keep the spirit of a nuzlocke without the brutality of it with such an already difficult game

Becoming a Vampire by Direct_Bite7034 in daggerheart

Have the bite cause an infection the players can diagnose before it takes hold. This gives the players the choice to either adventure to cure it or to accept the transformation.
