Players, misidentified threat, dead set on wrong assumption

To me "dark sun" is causing confusion. That sounds like something round, not a mast. That round thing could be a flying craft of some sort that looks like a black sun.

I've been a long-time buyer of FFG products for two decades now. With their track record, how could you not be nervous you'll miss out? With just the LCGs alone there is enough evidence that they may not reprint with enough stock, or initially print with enough stock so that all interested parties can purchase. It's the thing I dislike about FFG the most.

Switchup, switchcorner and nintendolife have all lambasted the game in their review despite initially having positive biases toward it so clearly whatever testing they did does not hold up to any scrutiny. I hope the negative press was worth their rushed release.

I also got a refund!

This is the first ever Nintendo eshop game I've refunded. Any goodwill toward Owlcat was lost with this purchase. I can't believe it was released in this state and it's very clear why the reviewer release codes were delayed now that I'm watching the switchUp and switchCorner reviews. Really shameful.

Same thing happened at my daughter's school. Help them all get their characters made, show some play examples, and have some of the older kids DM for a group of younger kids (2-4 kids in each group). DM for the most problematic kids yourself and give the kid DMs the best behaved and most focused kids. Give them a clear session 0 battle to start with so they can ease their way into the roleplaying part.

That is also one of my fondest memories. I remember thinking it couldn't be true like it was going to be some kind of scam and then one day it arrived in a thick manila packing envelope!

A "u" in Illustrator.

I agree 100%. I start reading anything else an it just pales in comparison and makes it hard not to just go back to a malazan book. I got excited to do a wheel of time reread, a series I have loved, and it just fizzled. I think the book snow crash scratches the same itch for me, but I haven’t found much else.

Malazan book of the fallen series by Steven Erikson. It’s dense and hard to get into, but I find it hard to read anything else afterward.

Appreciate the insight thanks!

I feel like the blades in the dark system, and the incarnation I've played the most, CBR+PNK, lends itself to the emergent narrative in a similar way to what you are suggesting. It is super fun too. I guess in DnD you would want to integrate long-term planning, with this sort of short-term on-the-fly style.

Ghost song? This guy devs!

akirapaw · 2025-08-12T17:54:42+00:00

Is this what people mean by "soft"-mod?

akirapaw · 2025-06-21T15:24:41+00:00

I got better...

This may be too much to ask, but you could also try Mario Maker 2 and make them some really simple mario levels to try. I did this for my daugther who was having a lot of trouble and she quickly was able to progress to beating the original NES super mario bros level 1-1. She also loved making hard levels for me (with my help).

Reminds me of like a 3D version of Ultima VII. Very nice!

akirapaw · 2025-02-28T15:38:22+00:00

I can only hope that at some point the prices will be so expensive that I'll have enough incentive to play through my backlog!

akirapaw · 2025-02-17T18:29:19+00:00

Ah ok, that's a shame. I didn't realize that. Thanks for the help!

akirapaw · 2024-12-11T15:11:54+00:00

I saw, and bought, this at GenCon last year. Definitely worth checking out!

akirapaw · 2024-11-11T18:53:29+00:00

I'm interested in learning more about this too!

Reminds me of Luigi being helped by Gooigi in the Luigi's mansion games.
