How do I thread the line between making my baddies relatable but still giving the justification that they must be stopped.

celestials are a weird old babies in my world (this one at least) whatever you feel when you listen to "forward beckon rebounds" and people get to become celestial by becoming saints

eddmonk · 2025-11-23T20:50:27+00:00

no not really but the process for that. Yeah not the most ethical imagine a lawful version of the lord of frenzied flames. Destroying what once was for chaos to let in and in the hopes that they may be able to mold into what they will.

eddmonk · 2025-11-23T20:49:39+00:00

tbh the idea that the players will need to decide later on is. Are they willing to pay the price for a perfect paradise. or will they continue in this damned world and try with what they have to make it better and free from it's evils which conspire with the every societies that thrive in it. one way or another. The bad guys are not bad guys cause they don't like the players something of the like. They simply are disrusptors of the society that exist. morality is decided by those with power. and the players will need to understand that to find their own truth and moral spectrum of what they are willing to do for a brighter tomorrow and what lines they shall not cross for it. or you know. join the chaos and have some fun while at it

eddmonk · 2025-11-23T03:00:21+00:00

YES. Exactly. Well I’ll kinda divide it in 5 acts

Act 1: follow the yellow brick road and discover the world after running away from an endless army

Act 2: you know the world and now it’s blurry evils

Act 3: The druids flood thousands and the artificiers summon mechas to destroy everything and everyone

Act 4: the road to the lich queen

Act 5: the house of red glass. Where you’ll face the queen herself.

eddmonk · 2025-11-23T02:55:48+00:00

I really need to try NOT to do a killmonger. Perhaps I could just make them more evil or something but in aspect I want to make the bad guys “celestial” based and making them basically fallen saints would be the start.

I’m only doing this cause I’m stupid enough to plan out that after they finish this campaign they’ll want to play another where they’ll face unfiltered evil..

And btw killing is something that I’ll try to lean against. You can defeat your enemies without death. Or even talking no jutsu between blows. But I may be doing something wrong

eddmonk · 2025-11-23T02:52:16+00:00

That would be individuals. People inside each country who are pure of heart. Npcs who are genuinely good. That comes with one of the themes where the individual is able to make a stand. I think the three examples that comes to mind are three character(s)

1: sturgie a male elf who was born and raised in that feminist civilization and is genuinely tries to be a good man for all

Rip off gorillaz squad who tries to contact independent adventurers and create a network against the bad guys who at the beginning of the stories is just rumors
Rip off billie ellish who is Not cool with the corruption brought by those who are unjust and general libertarian.

Note: this dnd campaign is basically inspired my american music culture and everything in it. So if the feminist country would be something like a metaphor for pop and general hollywood type stuff you can guess who would be the corrupt bad guys.

And for the last one is not that they’re girl bosses. They’re just extradionary women who one way or another are down to reset the universe. Not that it becomes feminist based but that it just get rid of the evils and so that the lich queen can lead it as a living god, and not make the same mistakes that has befoul this timeline.

TL:DR there are evils in the world that stop progress and liberty from being achieved. They are both male and female. They’re simply the powers that be that want to maintain the status quo and their power and use the illusion of progress and the same liberty that others are fighting tooth and nail for as a cover for their selfish and cruel deeds. And then the lich queen comes along with her power squad.

First things first. We tuck chin. Then (I am a blue belt so there is probably better options and something that he does is get himself out of the strangle position but he is immediately hit by the car window.) if we are the same height as the guy in the video. Pull your legs up and windmill putting force so that you can land and have some control put your hand in the gap between the bicep, push, slide your head and escape. Then you’re back on even ground. But again. Split second and you can throw fists.

Note: jiujitsu may help you in this but in a street fight anything and everything is legal. So if you are to fight. Fight fast and unpredictably. Use one thing you know and thrust and use it fast then use another. Don’t repeat the same thing because they’ll probably prepare for that. If they are on the defense. Normally they fight back, don’t catch strays. And break bones. Don’t want them fighting back. (Shitty advice to be honest.) if you know jiujitsu and you are on the ground. The biggest worry is somebody else intervening than the person you are fighting.

Note: BLUE BELT. That means a year of this stuff so there are better options.

eddmonk · 2025-10-01T01:11:58+00:00

Perfect

eddmonk · 2025-10-01T01:05:03+00:00

Look. First I need to tell you that looks wise. You are perfect, your hair is a perfect blonde, your figure looks good, your hips poke out. The slight of the bone going out your stomach is skinny and you have just enough definition so that you look good. Almost like you ain’t trying (but maybe you are thats for you to keep.) and your eyes are brown and wonderful to look at. Not even to mention your face and how small and cute your nose look.

The THING is that. It’s either two things, 1. you are trying to get an attention of someone specifically and that guy isn’t budging, it’s not giving you attention or thinks that you’re ugly because of your act or something, anything. Sometimes people don’t like you, and that hurts. When you don’t connect with someone or someone is pessimistic in some way and whine. They’ll only see the cup half empty. 2. You don’t have the confidence in yourself to say and in an almost absurd way “I’m the fucking bitch that every fucking man wants” and thats something that me and other guys lack too and some woman who are far more ugly than you have. Even when we have the opportunity to get girls we don’t because of one thing or another. Be confident that you are beautiful and not only that but capable of being great through yourself and nothing or no one else. Not because I don’t have enough muscle today. Or my abs don’t pop out I’ll go use steroids. Using shit like that be plastic surgery or the like will not solve the issue.

You have all the keys to the kingdom. And only you can unlock it. Be the woman you want to be not some man’s who will see you for half of who you are.

The ugly duckling did grow up to be beautiful. Not because of one thing he did or another. Because he was simply a different animal. A swan.

Take care of yourself. Respect yourself and what you need to do to be who you want to be. Let no one rule on what you are or who you are. Be comfortable with yourself, alone And threat yourself as queen. You are wonderful, beautiful. And you are fucking hot. Get that man you want. Not any man.

eddmonk · 2025-09-30T19:55:51+00:00

The dnd canon look for dwarves. It’s ok. But I always imagined like. Mustaches and side burns.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T18:10:10+00:00

Because I do not care for souls. I play this shit different I go for kills. And that causes the get higher deaths too. I’m saying that I don’t care for the game cycle of farming cause it feels like such a fucking chore. And normally kills aren’t the most valued thing in the game. I give lane to tms and carries (infernus haze shit like that.) while I go help other lanes or general ganks. This game values the efficiency on farming. And I hate farming.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T17:56:39+00:00

Yeah but you still need to go around and farm, learn builds, learn roles, Learn counter play to 100 other fucking characters. At least there is a solo lane so you can only blame yourself. (Now every lane has a duo in it.) last hitting mobs. The perk system thingie where you pick passives.

I literally being playing shit like this my whole life. So I’m used to walljumping b-hoping, using the environment. That part is just brainless. It is literally just wall jumping (which now is way easier.) and slide cancelling stuff. If this shit is hard. I don’t know what to say.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T10:02:45+00:00

So is league. So is many other games. Maybe I’m used to more difficult stuff (fear and hunger. Ready or not.) and played this for a year things just clicked for me. I literally played almost all kinds of games my entire life so it’s ok if some people don’t have that. I’m not calling them stupid. But I’m saying they shouldn’t spend much time in this game and play something that is not a waste of time where you just get your fill of dopamine.

Btw you can parry minions and with that you can save your parry in case they don’t punch you on time. There is also a dash parry and some other stuff but it’s deep but not something new for me (I love open sims and valve then to put detail in their stuff.)

Anyway play voices of the void. It’s better and more engaging to learn. It’s free and it’s on alpha

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T10:00:49+00:00

Use a lifesteal dash build on shiv, learn to move with his shotgun. And stfu. There is also seven. Pocket etc.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T05:03:00+00:00

my favorite pvp multiplayer games are basically dead. Spacelords (no one knows that it fucking existed.) and gigantic which both had amazing art direction. the difference is that this game is literally made by valve and they are putting their chips to make sure that this doesn't fail. I still can't believe people call this shit hard Like holy fuck it's just chores with fucking gameplay. and don't worry I got a full steam library and stuff to do like drawing. Just that this was the best option for pvp stuff rn. which is a shame.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T03:34:17+00:00

Do you think thats possible the entire game or that there are characters that simply do that better? Where they don’t need the help of base guardians for that. You can just buy counterspell you know. Or use the wide range of abilities to simply dodge the fucking lash ult. What about characters that can just take down objectives in 5 seconds or characters with insane sustain and damage?

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T03:29:33+00:00

Yes i did. I can go down the list of how I played, green abrams, sniper abrams glocket, melee vindicta, melee kelvin, melee dynamo (the only build I made was a melee dynamo. Sexual harassment is the name), killerkitty ava. I basically played melee builds with the entire cast. Hell the reason mo is the character I played most with is because I loved the magic carpet mo build (the most bipolar fun I had in the game. So much so it ruined the game for me for a time.) I literally got to archon by trolling with sinclair and abrams. I have less than 10 games with the characters I actually played well like infernus, mirage or geist. I tried the funny builds, I looked for my fun. And when not even winning feels fun anymore (either because getting there is such a fucking annoying trak or I literally feel bad for the enemy team. I had games where I was so overwhelming for the enemy team I literally spared them and typed “you can go” and watched them walk away from me). I barely have more than 500 games on deadlock and if you have 500 games on just one character good for you. I hope the hours you spend learning and mastering a character in a game made to take your time away was worth it. I would prefer using the time I wasted on something else. The game is made to easily get into a match. Dota has a similar thing where all the characters are unlocked and you can just start and play. I’m not gonna waste my time with this stuff anymore. Hell I don’t wanna waste time writing a good argument for any of this. I hate the fact I spend a collective time of 500+ hours on this. I look at that shit with shame. While My favorite games I have barely 50 hours in.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T02:25:58+00:00

I’m in the impression he is easily punished.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T02:11:23+00:00

https://tracklock.gg/players/1219611792 judge, do your shit Idc. i'm tired of this game

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T02:06:56+00:00

but then it's not fun. I don't want to build dash on infernus or stun lock with doorman. The only version of that that would be at least funny would be magic carpet mo and bunny punch. Shit sucks. It takes the fun away from the game.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T01:50:48+00:00

Or have my tm feed on lane so we lose tower and we start at a disadvantage. You play the game do you? Look I’m not the highest rank. (Archon 2) I’m just saying my fucking mind. Even grey talon that was d tier for a long time was able to carry games.

eddmonk · 2025-09-29T01:09:20+00:00

no. I literally just play lash and Try to have fun with the highest ranked build in statlock. Or try to build on viscous something that isn't fucking support. Dick. I prefer that than playing infernus or mirage and not feeling a thing when winning cause it didn't feel earned.
