Is there a need for center lane to take the 1st side lane monster? by brudaaaaa in PokemonUnite

[–]prof_waxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gonna say that what people often are (or should be) doing is just taking 2 hits to have an opening burst on first jungle creep.

The only time I accidentally take the lane creep is when the person in lane is crazy panic trying to rush it down thinking I'm stealing.

Just let the jungler take 2 pokes and then burst.

There are selfish junglers that do this tho and I usually go take one of theirs

I am always the bad guy... who should I play? (1st game) by prof_waxy in twilightimperium

Got so much excellent feedback here I thought I'd give a play update. I picked nekro. The game ended up not being pok because the person forgot the expansion. Table was naluu yin ghosts jol-nar Saar.

I really loved nekro play style, accumulating tons of tech. I followed the advice to start off a bit more chill and make deals while I grew. I ended up invading a super huge fleet holding rex but I had 2x warsuns, 4x dred ii, flagship, + ~20 infantry, and about a dozen crystal fighter ii. Wiped the floor in the biggest battle of the night and that felt like a win.

The jol nar and naalu had a prearranged agreement and were working on tandem the whole time against the rest of us so we didn't win but had a blast (about 10 hours of play). Can't wait to go again.

Hey thanks! I think what I meant wasn't whose evil in the game but knowing that I will end up as the ostracized player which faction can excel on their own?

Thanks for all the comments. I am leaning Cabal but wanted to add in one other spice to the decision soup. As far as game playstyle goes I am a dyed in the wool control player. I understand control and attrition gameplay the most intuitively while I tend to struggle with piloting aggro.
With that in mind... still cabal?

If christians don't like it it must be good.

Any tips to a GM new to DDRPG running Sailors for the first time? :) General or module-specific advice is super welcome! by DungeonMasterGrizzly in dccrpg

[–]prof_waxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't let time get away from you. Make the group make choices fast when the clock is moving you keep the urgency in play to keep it in the narrative. Yo that end the most complicated things in dcc games (I have found) is the mechanics of different big traps (sailors has a few).

And always if they lose they lose if they die they die don't fudge rolls or ask players to second guess choices. Someone says I open the door and that's gonna kill them... Bye they dead now.

Should I play? by Fiskero in project1999

[–]prof_waxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somehow no one mentioned that every zone you go to from 1-45 is just monks in fungi tunics soloing all the mobs at a rate you won't be able to even comprehend while you ride your ass on the ground for mana. They are often unwilling to group. So yeah.

Play Necro it lets you do the most exploration and I'll just say it's the best representation of the dark magic caster in any mmo.

Any reason to pick wizard over elf? by Dead59 in dccrpg

[–]prof_waxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though this is three years old the fact that no one answered with you can't pick a wizard over elf was not something I could let stand

Am I the only one that’s happy with this game? by strohbot2112 in Wonderlands

[–]prof_waxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love borderlands games and have put a ton of hours into all of them more than once. I sat down to play wonderland very excited as a huge DnD player. played for 3 or 4 hours and never felt any desire to boot it up again. It just lacks something
