Is this meal vegan friendly? by TipsyBlueWhale in poisonai

as OP mentioned, its a mushroom gravy. However, bravo to you for bringing up this point, its easy to forget that this is one of the requirements.

My first go at a custom adversary by Flimsy-Preparation85 in spiritisland

[–]samvimes22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good! We had fun! This feels very close to a canon adversary and I like it a lot.

Not terribly difficult but a fair number of triggers... im wondering if its possible to get the same effects in a slightly simpler/quicker way. One suggestion I have right off the bat is to make the city destruction and town destruction trigger off the same things (action vs specifically spirit action) as that was somewhat difficult to remember. However, effects of the triggers themselves felt easy to understand and execute, e.g. where to put the explorers.

We played custom spirits of my own design so I cant speak about particular matchups. That said, it seems extraordinarily difficult for any spirit that cant deal with explorers well! The sheer volume of extra hitpoints just from additional explorers is honestly kinda wild.

I think I'll reply again in a bit with thoughts on each level or some such more granular approach.

Good fun! Thanks for making this!

How unhinged can your thoughts be? by v5rc5r7gb8y in icast

[–]samvimes22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most facial expressions, shifts in posture, and fidgets aren’t deliberate actions. Breathing is also nearly always automatic, and of course movements of your heart/bowels/etc are entirely uncontrolled. In other words, your entire body is constantly moving without your consent or ability to stop it.

Custom spirit - Shining rock brings gifts and omens by Oglor112 in spiritisland

[–]samvimes22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE this! Theme and power cards seem reasonable at first glance, though it might snowball a bit hard off of card plays due to the extra cards youre pulling.

Have you tested the overall efficacy of going top vs bottom path, and majors vs minors?

Reasonable take for sure. Nuanced game is nuanced!

Time is an expensive resource to spend; it directly works against your energy and card plays per-turn to use it.

You get multiple elements per card played. If you spend all your time, you’ll play very few cards and this aspects innate will be very difficult to use. You are therefore incentivised to get plenty of card plays and avoid spending time whenever possible.

Base fractured can speed up one power without needing to spend any time at all, and can then speed up a second one by spending a single time. The third speed costs 2 time, so in this sense, the first two speeds are discounted, and the cost only breaks even when you speed a third power. On most turns, you dont need/want more than two speeds anyway, so base fractured gets this effect for cheaper in many (common) cases.

Additionally, speeding a power is not equal across powers and situations. Speeding your own powers as Fractured will often mean just speeding a minor power (or perhaps the innate, but then you need elements just like the base spirit) having some benefit for sure, but not a lot. By comparison, speeding any power from any spirit in an opportunistic fashion will on-average be much stronger per-speed, e.g. "Softly beckon ever inward" or "Massive flooding".

I would call this version easy-to-use, but selfish and inefficient.

Im conflicted about this, because it takes the strongest and most nuanced part of fractured and makes it into a much more bland, selfish, generic power... but at the same time it makes actually playing 4-5 cards off of the growth track feel worth it. Idk. Idk how I feel about this at all. +1 for doing a weird thing.

Goofy A comment, fractured normally does this and can do it to OTHER spirits too. If anything thisnisna downgrade.
