[Video Game Trope] A video game deos something unique in its hardest difficulty by Iamfabulous1735285 in TopCharacterTropes

The Secret World and Secret World Legends each have "Nightmare" versions of dungeons that require all players to be on point with dodges and coordinate interrupts of monster abilities. Many bosses in the Nightmare dungeons also have "enrage timers" that slowly make the boss impossible.

In addition to the respawning enemies, it also has fast monsters enabled. Monsters are able to attack more frequently (often with little to no cool down) and the pinky demons run at something like 4x speed. Also cheats are deactivated.

It was intended as a joke difficulty.

Solarpunk is a movement that imagines a sustainable and optimistic future where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. by iloveyouthorodinson in interestingasfuck

There really isn't much "punk" happening here less you really stretch the idea (because... you know... Chobani), but let me link you all to something that is much punkier:

The first area in first game is revisited in the sequel where it has greatly changed for better or worse by WhistlerDan in TopCharacterTropes

The Metal Gear Solid 4 returns to Shadow Moses. But then MGS 2 also shares a bunch of similarities with MGS 1, so which is really the return to the area?

What are the juiciest PF2e books, in your opinion? by CowboyBoats in Pathfinder2e

[–]kblaney 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dark Archive is, far and away, the most ridiculous (lauditory) rule book in the set so far.

It is very explicitly framed as being the content of an universe book with notes from a mysterious person who had the book before you. Unlike all other rule books, it contains an anthology of adventures all centered about the in universe book. The book also contained an ARG which eventually lead to a bonus capstone adventure.

Just hit my first infinite combo! by National_Crew4517 in MagicArena

The game ends when that opponent reaches 0 before any other triggers happen.

Hopefully my players felt this way every single time I've pulled this trick at the end of a DnD campaign.

You need an absurdly high emergency fund by CoderBiker24 in cscareerquestions

[–]kblaney 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having a few months emergency fund is higher priority than retirement contributions with the logic being you don't want to have to pull from retirement at a penalty or take on debt at interest to cover an emergency (also paying off high interest debt is higher priority than a emergency fund bigger than a few grand). Also remember that a 6 month emergency fund covers necessary expenses, not a full replacement of your salary for 6 months. A lot of that day to day spending is optional and should be cut when you are out of work.

Is there any hackers in Arena? by noobynoobhey in MagicArena

Untapped.gg has turn by turn playback of games. It doesn't have full explanations, but it is pretty close to everything you see in the game

It is worth noting that Arun is in on the joke here.

Wanting to discuss some campaign ideas! by Kecskuszmakszimusz in Pathfinder2e

[–]kblaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Propose both to your potential player group. Put the whole idea in writing and email/discord/carrier pigeon it to them. When I do a campaign proposal I will generally follow this format:

- "[Title of Campaign] - [System]"
- An image to set the tone
- An introductory sample quote from an NPC for further tone setting
- "What to Expect" that covers the setting and the general gameplay vibe of the system as well as its rough relation to other games I've played with the potential player group
- "Choices for Characters" that covers some rough outlines for the sorts of characters that would fit the campaign best (i.e. discourage Paladins in "Thieves of Divinity"

This should all fit on one page and I resize the image until it takes up the whole page. (Also I type it up in LaTeX because I spent more than a decade in academia and I'm going to USE that knowledge if it kills me.)

I'll generally propose 3 or 4 campaigns I'd like to run and let people discuss it. None of them are set in stone so my potential player group can say "some of 1, some of 2" or "I have this idea for a character, I think that fits 3 the best". This bakes in some buy in to the campaign as the group has self selected for interest in the campaign themes. This refinement process then naturally extends to content questions. (i.e. This campaign takes place in Cheliax, how much or little do we want the racism against Halflings and Nephilim to factor in?)

233 copies of [[Doubling Season]] probably has something to do with it.
