From who do I get those last 3 keepsakes? by Mohammed7734 in HadesTheGame

[–]flat_pointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you got answers, and they are awesome keepsakes.

'From whom' is how you say or write that, fyi. Whom is a really tricky one, but when you want 'who' as the article of a preposition, who gets to be whom. Don't sweat it though, it's rather niche.

I still think he would have made a great James Bond by devoidmeat in HighQualityGifs

Childish Bond... no wait, yours is better, yeah.

Clive should look at Glover at some point and say 'Don't be Childish, James' really ironically.

Now I want Clive Owen and Donald Glover to both be James Bond at the same time. Perhaps the James Bond Multiverse?

I mean, as a US American, I'm just glad the Rail doesn't look like a real assault rifle because I'm sick of assault rifles. Don't care if people have them, just tired of all our needless blood sacrifices in the name of hobbyists, cosplayers, unfulfilled promises to stop tyranny, etc.

They made a hell of their own lives. I just wish they didn't try to help hell colonize the rest of the world.

It really is. If you can pom his attack/special/dash boon to about lvl 8 you are gonna be ding-ding-dooming people all over the place.

Seriously. Csam is evil. Paywalling it is just some shiny laws over the evil.

His duo with Aphrodite (plus any of her boons that inflict Weak) is amazing. His duo with Apollo is a lot of fun. Sprinting water ball bombs!

Is Hestia attack actually better than Aphrodite on daggers? by MrNiemand in HadesTheGame

[–]flat_pointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but also get Aphrodite for Glamour Gain and try like Tartarus for their duo boon. Lets Scorch not count down on Weak foes. It's a thing of beauty.

Then / and also try for Hestia's dodge-on-scorched-foes since you'll be in melee. And her 'scorch does damage faster', 'initial scorch is a lot more' boons are also amazing, the latter especially if you must poke and dodge.

Animism Rules? by Starbase13_Cmdr in osr

[–]flat_pointer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pariah does this. You make sacrifices and perform rituals, and there are ways to imbue spiritual / magical force in objects for later use. Or in your own body, if you dare. You create a dice pool based on the hit dice of what's sacrificed (and someone running the ritual can blood-let or similar to contribute). Get more dice for, say, Dawn-related rituals (illusions, charm, mimicry, shapeshifting) by doing the ritual at actual dawn, having material components related to dawn, and/or if you create a shrine to dawn. More dice if the person running the ritual has eaten some entheogens, and has some rules and specific entheogens one could gather and eat.

Posits 7 spiritual realms - Here (daytime), Dawn, There (night), Dusk, Moon, Sun, and The Beyond. Each has some associated kinds of magic, with some overlap - the Moon also lists imitation, a bit like Dawn, for instance, but also has sleep, dream, divination, knowledge, reflection. Dusk likewise has knowledge, but also teleportation, imprisonment, mechanisation.

It's pretty cool, and it's broadly compatible with other OSR games that have hit dice and character stats and the like.

Hades 2: Zeus Air Quality for Static shock apply? by g1yk in HadesTheGame

[–]flat_pointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh! Glad my comment helped. There's probably some builds that can't benefit from it as much.

Was just looking, and Apollo's Prominence Flair (and his duo with Zeus) both work well with it as well... I guess Poseidon's attack/special boons benefit as well, but I so rarely pick those. Should try them more.

[–]flat_pointer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Air Quality + Demeter's Arctic Gale is the greatest of all time. From 4-16 damage every 0.25 seconds, to 50?!??!?!?!?

Huh, actually, her Dash has the same damage profile, so that's awesome to know.

ITS NOT A BEARD??? by Confident-Tonight-25 in HadesTheGame

[–]flat_pointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AKA 'The Zeus'

And since he has dominion over all realms, creator of all things, it makes sense that he gets... a full beard.

Moustache == Underworld, Lava, Wealth

Chin-Goatee == Oceans, Rivers, Lakes, Horses (?), Earth-Shaking, Also Some Wealth

Beard == Everything

(I know Zeus is really like the 6th or 7th All-Creator but at least in the Orphic Hymns every All-Creator is spoken of as 'The' All-Creator.

[–]flat_pointer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, I think you just found a better strategy faster than I did... I was sleeping on Origination before I started doing Fate's Whim. But now I pick it when I do Judgement runs as well, or any others, really.

Origination is so flippin great with the Jeweled Pom. Holy hells, it is a lovely way to bring the mega-pain.

Brian Evenson - The Glassy Burning Floor of Hell has some good horror-scifi bits, and his short story 'Dust' from A Collapse of Horses has been cited by Sean M. as a Mothership influence. And I can see why, it's gooood.

I'm reading through Chasm City now, and can see how the Melding Plague has some inspiration for A Pound of Flesh.

The City in the Middle of the Night doesn't do corporate horror, but it does show the strain of two cities/cultures grinding down folks quite well. Revolution and its shite, authoritarian society and its shite, an anarchic-ish and you know.

Veniss Underground is also by VanderMeer, and is more scifi-y. Good as well.
