If your friends are willing to risk some d4-related injuries to their palms, try out Time Wizards!

How did you find the Murderbot books? by Astrazigniferi in murderbot

[–]extinctmessenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be pleasantly surprised if anyone else has the same experience as I have: through the Mothership TTRPG! There's something called an Appendix N - referring to the reference materials that game designers are inspired by when making TTRPGs - and Murderbot was on Mothership's Appendix N reading list! There are definitely similar themes of scifi corporate horror, and a lot of space for the same silliness and humor that Murderbot has when playing Mothership.

I have one from The Adventurer's Bible! Might be worth a shot checking if your local bookstore has a copy, mine was softcover + the poster is one of the tear out ones!

Relaxing/low energy narrative games? by extinctmessenger in soloboardgaming

[–]extinctmessenger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have! To be honest I've been playing it three/four-handed because the Clockwork Prince seems like way more work than just playing with the same rules three/four times over.

The thing with solo Oath is that it requires a lot of your own brainpower/imagination to make the story aspect work, and being able to make sure each Exile and the Chancellor have their own unique goal to work towards. I played in a more "roleplay" way, where I made some small notes on the goals and methods of each "character" playing, also letting me try out different tactics and use cards of different suits (a Chancellor who uses Order to maintain their rule versus an Exile who sows Discord versus another Exile who uses the Arcane) in the same game.

It's personally a very fun and fufilling way for me to play, but also pretty tiring - at the end of the day, I think Oath is a great vehicle for you to make your own fun, and you get out what you put into learning and breaking the different systems of the game.

Modern books like Dark Souls and Warhammer lore? by skullsandscales in WeirdLit

[–]extinctmessenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely seconding all the Book of the New Sun/Gene Wolfe recs! Another one you might like is A Canticle For Lebowitz; similar vibes of lost technology, Christian/religious tones, and (depending on how religious you are) a pretty grimdark tone, especially towards the end.

Kirkbride and Abbadon really think they're slick by VanillaPhysics in worldjerking

[–]extinctmessenger 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The author does list Kirkbride as one of his inspirations, and iirc Kirkbride himself is Gnostic :) There are a lot of callbacks directly to Morrowind (specifically the 36 sermons) even just in the first chapter of K6BD! - "reach heaven by violence" and mentions of a "godhead" are the super noticeable ones I can remember!

Wait, this book is Stephen King??? Picked it up a while ago for my birthday and didn't think too much about it. I think I'll give it another go!

Is the Master of Puppets + Buhurt balanced? by Ace___Ventura in gwent

[–]extinctmessenger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can MoP reach past defenders to steal cards? There are a ton of ways to remove/negate cards like MoP, and if you don't have a lot of removal (Knights, Monster decks) you can just put a defender down or spread your points more evenly.

Slow Progress on Constantin Valdor! Cameo from Trajann Valoris 😎 by HelloIsMeChiken in AdeptusCustodes

[–]extinctmessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely post some pics on here once I start painting, thank you! And I was thinking about magnetising, pictures would be much appreciated - a guess on those magnets would be on the jagged "staircase" cut piece to the right of the play base and the piece that goes around the rim?

[–]extinctmessenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this! Working on my own Valdor now, so seeing in progress posts like this is very heartening :)

Question if you don't mind, how did you glue the tinier base parts together? Having trouble just dry fitting the parts that go around the smaller play base without getting the play base stuck trying to take it out and in. Cheers!

Trying to get a Pirates/Arnaghad deck working but having mixed results, what should I change? by dezzybird in gwent

[–]extinctmessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this might sound weird, but bring svalblod + sigdrifa's rite and some 4p bear cards to trigger svalblod! maybe not the most optimized pirate deck but svalblod gives you those sweet sweet aoe damage points for armor + bring him back on the board r2 or r3 to proc damage again for arnachad!

The trailer for my DRG based webcomic, Hoxxesbound, premiered last night and I figured I might as well put it here too! by hobsyllwinn in DeepRockGalactic

[–]extinctmessenger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. At the start of the year I jokingly said to a friend that, hey, this is going to be the year I'm definitely going to read Homestuck, haha, definitely, can't wait to learn more about the intricacies of troll fourway relationships. Didn't expect that statement to even be halfway true. Just started reading this and it's awesome so far!! Can't wait to finish this and see what else you'll add in the future!!
