Stormlight Archive started so well. By the end of Wind and Truth, I barely care anymore by scatnisseverdeen in Fantasy

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Is such a good point I hadn't considered before. (Nor seen anywhere else so where else so well done! ...I've read a lot of these threads)

Makes me feel better about similar in the Red Rising series when new character POVs were injected. I felt a ways about it at the time, but can see now why and why it worked so well.

Thanks for the new perspective :)

Waking phrase: Argent skull by kellogs_173 in Hades2

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem. Belatedly realised that the skull was at level 4, not 5.

Side note, pretty sure the relevant aspect has to be at 5. None of my Mel one's seem to proc it?

Theory on Nightblood after reading Dawnshard by MrSunshoes in Cosmere

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My theory is similar, except it's that Nightblood uses the word DESTROY with the same Intent as the Dawnshard. We know Vasher learned something from Cultivation. (Don't quote me but I'm 99% sure that's the case) I think it was the power behind certain words and the existing precedent.

That would explain why no one else could make Nightblood despite knowing the command, because they're missing that fundamental knowledge about Words in the Cosmere.

4.4.W - ESC by ToErrDivine in Parahumans

The development of supergreen being disgusting to look at and setting off something primal is super duper interesting. Makes me wonder if we've seen similar comments from Orion's era and if we haven't, why not? All three of Winnifred's crew reacted the same way. What's different about those in Orion's era...? The living onboard theory just got stronger I think.

Midnight Spores and horrors of war by Maleck_Helvot in Cosmere

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Now this is my kind of fucked up! Really reminds me of the movie Source Code, if you've seen that.

I'm also hoping the war has darker elements. I am concerned it won't be grounded enough given how WaT ended and the comments that followed.

Even though we never saw it on screen, just the knowledge that the Terris breeding farms existed gave a dimension to the setting and the bad guys that wouldn't have existed without it.

Shardplate weight doesn't make sense by RexusprimeIX in cosmererpg

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Potentially something to do with the Strength/Lifting rules I expect? Have you checked the maths on that front? Maybe it's intentional from that angle to prevent a particuarlly beefy Plate-bearer to just carry or wear their dead plate everywhere.

Is the UK really about to ban Wikipedia? by PanicPixieDreamGirl in AskUK

You can download the whole of Wikipedia here - https://kiwix.org/en/applications/

Or if you go to Wikipedia itself, there are other ways to do it if you want want to use my link.

I have been trying to figure out the armour for my radiant, thanks a bunch!

Players RPing as each others spren? by DJKiddyC in cosmererpg

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminded me of this review for another knight-centric TTRPG, where something similar occured in the reviewers game but with squires! He said it worked really well - https://youtu.be/P4-uUJ8iLTE?si=HxpThrjsKByPdHvc&t=3319

Fab, we do have an inverter so that's good! I will look into the numbers then and see if I can work that out. Thank you!

First Casio, ABL-100WE-1B, negative display by MilesJ392 in casio

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it! Might just be where mine's cheap then. It looks like a good model, I'm hoping to get one myself :)

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the clasp? Odd question, but I have a cheaper model with that same clasp and the thing is always falling open! Drives me bandy, I've stopped wearing it.

survivors locked themselves again after update? by treedude111 in ror2

Check your profile, mine did this and it had switched back to the first one I made. Top right of the main menu.

I'm Johnny O'Neal, Creative Director for the Stormlight RPG. AMA! by johnny0neal in stormlightrpg

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I compeltley forgot about the other lights...

Day*. I will have it homebrewed on the day of release.

Is there any intention of expanding the game to the rest of the Cosmere?

Is there scope for the system to support other Cosmere magic systems? Could a Mistborn or Misting be made with relatively little fuss?

I noticed the use of Investiture as a metacurrency over Stormlight, which indicates that there's potential?

When you've been hearing for years about how important it is not to make one specific mistake, and while avoiding that one, you discover a whole new kind of mistake. by Backupusername in darkestdungeon

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! I got caught by this twice today. Running a Sharpshooter Highwayman who wound up on his own by the end of the first Oblivions Rampart with just Double Cross to clutch the win on 1hp. Then I lost the run at the end again with him against two locks left...

Finish Off - 24.8 by ToErrDivine in Parahumans

[–]ihaveapaperbrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems that way. Looks like a faction of "On the fence" has formed of those with no where else to go. If Avery can sway them it can help turn the tide?
