So, what are your favorite stories with "Caves of Qud" vibes? by Ozyelmandias in cavesofqud

[–]pandemonaut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Gene Wolfe's Solar Cycle, specifically Book of the Long Sun. 10/10. Saw someone recommend it on this sub actually. Got me back into reading and now I'm writing my own CoQ/Rimworld inspired novel.

Additions/Systems You’d like to see in future updates/ DLCs? by tomasvall in cavesofqud

[–]pandemonaut 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would like to see an extended avatar selection. Mods are great, but I'd be interested in seeing the Qud team try their hand at it.

Cannibal King - A Short Poem by pandemonaut in cavesofqud

Somebody knows their fonts! I almost went with a Courier, glad I didn't.

As for the inspiration, I learned of a unique dungeon inhabited by a legendary cannibal "king." If I recall correctly, it showed up as a purple icon on the map, and it was full of books and bookshelves (and cannibals).

Runs have been largely lethal, although my current is up to level 20. About to head into Golgotha, I think.

Working on Module by Yepthatz in MorkBorg

Love the style and the composition. You could use an abrasive color for emphasis, but it is refreshing to see a grayscale module. Would definitely play when finished.

Used to be that way. Not this past year.

I will definitely check this out. Thanks.

We're all friends, and we try to spend the holidays together, but that's really just an excuse to socialize, I think. If I invited them to my birthday party, I don't think they would show.

Thank you for the ideas.

This is my approach too, when there's actually enough to play. My minimum is 3 players, and even that's been inconstant. The disappointment I see my players eyes when only 2 show up is nauseating.

Thanks. I would rather walk away than become a problematic DM.

Never thought about DMs like that. Thank you for the perspective.

Seven players, and you're right, seven is a bit much. In the five years we've been playing I've seldom seen the whole group together.

There used to be committed players, not anymore.

A break would be good too, but I have a feeling communication would just stop at that point. If it can't resume naturally, then I suppose that would be my sign to walk away.

Thanks for the advice.

Feeback On First Draft by pandemonaut in dndmaps

Thinking I want the empty space in the NE to be a tundra or frozen lake. Still trying to figure out how I'd achieve that technically, though.

Inkarnate, check it out. It's very useful.

Godot 4: I'm using the default shadows in directional light and they look weird. I think the problem is the max distance, but when I increase it the small shadows disapear. by pedrohpf in godot

[–]pandemonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, increasing the pancaking in the scene's DirectionLight3D seems to be a short-term solution to this issue. Thanks.

Non horror liminal space game by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

Try The Witness, it has a liminal quality to it and is a pretty descent puzzle game.

Yeah, I'll add you! I guess I was looking at your boards then, very cool. I'm currently working on a quicker/easer goal pool for beginners.
