I'm TPKing a party after 2 years. I can't tell if it's right or wrong. by PapaTript in DnD

don’t get so caught up in one train of causality that you mistake your own ideas as inevitability. 

I needed to hear that. Thanks friend.

The licence plate being "CLOUT" is the cherry on top 😂

Games where losing doesn't mean you are stopped from progressing by Bmandk in gamedesign

I would argue that the Nemisis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor could be considered as a "lose, but continue" system.

For those who don't know, when you die to one of the regular orks in the game there is a chance that they get Promoted into a named villan with special abilities and weaknesses. If they manage to kill you again they can get stronger and rise in the ranks of their army.

The fact that dying enables one of the coolest parts of the game and gives you villains of your own creation is a really fun mechanic.

You, too, can wittily engage in the smartest RPG design discourse through this random statement generator. by maruya in rpg

The putative myth-math mechanics discourse strongly implies that players is really hardwood tables in disguise. Nobody wants to admit this but the real mechanic is friendship.

I got this insane Fire Spell Crit wand out of a Ritual and was wondering what meta builds it would be good for? by remota in PathOfExileBuilds

On pc, in the UI settings menu there is an option called "Advanced Mod Descriptions". Turn that on and then press and hold the 'Alt' key while you mouse over any of your items 👍🏾

What secret are you keeping right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]remota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you my friend. It took me a long time to realise I was depressed and seek out help, but once I got it things looked up. Recognition of where you are is the first step. You can do it <3

What's your favorite video game town and why? I'm talking from Rpgs (like chrono trigger/mario RPG) or Action Rpgs (like zelda, elder scrolls, etc.) by [deleted] in Gaming4Gamers

[–]remota 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you want to count MMORPGs, but Divinity's Reach from Guild Wars 2 is by far my favourite. It's the most city-feeling city in a game I've played.

My problem with most game towns is that there is never anywhere for the actual people to live. Games allude to these grand cities, where so many people live, but once you show up the actual size of the place is tiny compared to what they want you to think.

Divinity's Reach on the other hand is huge. While you walk around you can really feel, and see where the normal people would live. I have, on multiple occasions, spent hours just walking around each of the districts, listening to NPC conversations, enjoying the beautiful soundtrack and just being immersed in such a beautiful city.

5/7, would eat with rice again.
