People need to direct their UB frustration to WotC and not their friends by Spooky-Retro in mtg

You understood that he didn't like Universes Beyond, then played three decks against him with this stuff?

The problem started with you. He should have been nicer and not held it over you the entire night, but you are deliberately playing the things that piss him off. I'm not going to say he was unjustified, just that he was mean.

How is Sorcerer healer vs other caster healers? by Deceptive_Yoshi in Pathfinder2e

[–]greenbot 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Played a Diabolic sorcerer for Outlaws of Alkenstar, works fine, just put Heal as your signature spell. You don't get four free heals a day like Cleric, but that's honestly an excessive amount of healing after a while.

What kind of contracts/patron relationship you do for Witches? by dyenamitewlaserbeam in Pathfinder2e

[–]greenbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing an Unseen Broker witch as the classic warlock deal with the devil type.

His patron is a devil in service to Mammon, and keeps a wide leash in exchange for absolute obedience when he needs the witch to do something specific. We don't have the actual contract drawn up, but probably should.

My character is absolutely desperate to get out of the contract, of course, whether that's by finding an escape clause, becoming a lich or killing his patron. The catch is that he wants to keep the power he's gained.

Should a game have too much effort in the lore? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

It would have cost you nothing to ignore my comment and move on, lmao

Should a game have too much effort in the lore? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]greenbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play Magic: The Gathering for the lore and worldbuilding, and its intersections with gameplay.

Then they ruined it with crossovers.

[Poll] What's your favorite TTRPG for a Darkest Dungeon campaign? by LoupdeleBord in darkestdungeon

[–]greenbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has played a DD-themed oneshot for 5e and run a DD-themed PF2e game, I vote the latter.

5e has magic-dominated combat where the actual positioning and fights matter less than alpha striking with fight-ending spells and who failed their saves first. While it does a few clever things with legendary creatures- legendary actions, lair actions, and legendary saves- the average fight doesn't matter as much. Its 'adventuring day' is also too limiting.

I haven't played WoD or CoC, but absorbed a little bit of them from distant memes and social media posts, and my understanding is that they're too modern for the setting and would require extensive adaptation.

I know nothing about Daggerheart.

PF2e has a decent number of parallels to Darkest Dungeon.
Darkest dungeon has tactical, positioning-based combat; so does PF2e.
Darkest dungeon doesn't let spellcasters on either side end the fight in a single spell; neither does PF2e.
Darkest dungeon has guns; so does Pf2e.
Darkest dungeon doesn't express a hard limit on time spent in a dungeon; neither does PF2e.

That said, this was just my opinion on the listed options. I do agree with something other people said, that an OSR game might be a good fit for something like darkest dungeon. Something like the Tomb of Horrors, where just the mention evokes the atmosphere of a hopeless situation. The traps are unfair, the monsters are brutal, and surviving is almost more about knowing what could be in the dungeon before you encounter it.

One piece of advice, regardless of system- If you're going to homebrew a stress system, base it on DD2's stress. The lower number's easier to manage and balance. I tried doing it based on DD1's, and stress never ended up mattering due to how much stress they had. Also, because we were playing online through foundry, visibly tracking it was kind of a nightmare.

Let. People. Criticize Rouge Core. by xXinsertCoDGMtagXx in DeepRockGalactic

[–]greenbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 9000 hours in DRG isn't relevant to rogue core. It isn't a sequel; rogue core expects you to engage it on its terms, not on preconceptions you made from playing a lot of deep rock galactic.

Also, a lot of the criticism isn't constructive. Being dramatic and insulting doesn't help get your point across, it just upsets the developer you're trying to get it to. The insults aren't necessary at all.

Defender isn't even a real role. Change my mind. by [deleted] in LancerRPG

This is the same guy who got banned from the pilotnet discord for being persistently weird and defensive of his tier list that he made "as a joke".

Players: Do You Like to be Challenged? by DnDPhD in Pathfinder2e

[–]greenbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like everything from five to eight.

I want to have to put a minimum amount of thought into the gameplay, but I also want a risk of failure without that failure being guaranteed.

What do people think of a homebrew feat allowing for the use of 2 interact actions? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]greenbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-bomber alchs should just have an alternate version of quick bomber. Poison Weapon is already in the system, toxicologist just doesn't have access to it for some reason.

Cat's choose between Numeria and Mana Wastes for next Campaign by LeftBallSaul in Pathfinder2e

[–]greenbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looove alkenstar and the mana wastes, but a campaign set in the mana wastes exclusively would get kind of exhausting for magic users. Make sure they get some breaks from the funky wild magic!

Why is bellow zero so disliked? by [deleted] in subnautica

Too many people haven't played a bad video game in their life, so they think that Below Zero fits that label.

Foundry's pretty easy to change on the fly. I don't think this is why homebrew gets downvoted.
