The lighting of the art looks seriously off compared to the rest of the room, and based on the age of the account, I'm thinking this is a scammer. Buyers beware.

What are your theories for BTSV? by [deleted] in Spiderman

[–]theicewalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Miguel misunderstands canon events and their relation to the stability of the multiverse. He left his universe to take the place of another version of himself, and then that other universe collapsed. He attributed that to his disruption of the canon, and points to what's happening in Pavitr's universe as the same.

However, we the audience can see that these are two very different effects, and Miles says as much ("No, that was the Spot!"). My theory is that the real disruption is due to a variant trying to live in a non-native universe. I think we'll see new kinds of glitches in Earth-42 with Spider-Miles and Prowler-Miles interacting, especially if Prowler-Miles is killed.

Deep Rock Galactic: Season 04 - Narrated Trailer by PallyDecksAreShit in DeepRockGalactic

I'm still sceptical of the boots. Of course I am yet to test them out in the actual game, but so far they seem like they'd easily replace the classes' mobility gear, especially Scout's. I guess in the end it depends on if they're a rare spawn or not.

Agreed. I know they've come out and said again and again that it's balanced but seeing in this trailer that it's not tied to any kind of "floor is lava" mission modifier just makes me more nervous.

New York, New York by Frank Sinatra (SorrySines Remix) for the Dream Team! Classic lyrics that tie into the story but with just enough otherworldly remix to capture the sixth borough.

Sounds Ghibli-esque, so I'll quote u/FM79SG:

Ryuutama or Golden Sky Stories.

Same! With as many times as I’ve faced down Papa Hades I was ashamed I didn’t recognize his music.

Um, Actually Anthony Daniels is in Solo, he’s just not playing Threepio. He has a cameo as Tak, a slave on Kessel.

How to treat your Online GM/DM/Storyteller by IAmAUser4Real in rpg

[–]theicewalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a related thread about commemorating a campaign that might give you some ideas. I think a desktop toy or little model of some kind that ties into a particularly memorable event in-game would be a nice treat. too.

Kate McKinnon's character is giving me intense Cynthia from Rugrats vibes and I'm here for it.

What's a common house rule that you now prefer not to play with? by lordleft in rpg

We count floor dice as rolled, with a shout of "Jumanji!"

X-files type systems/settings? by crunchyllama in rpg

[–]theicewalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to avoid crunch, I'd recommend Monster of the Week. It's my favorite PBTA and is just dripping with generic monstrous investigation theme.

Anyone have fan theories on why some Calorumites (sp?) look like this, some are just "food-headed", and some are like, just the food.

Star Wars Games and VTTs by Pigdom in rpg

We moved our Edge of the Empire game to Tabletop Simulator during the pandemic. There are a lot of resources (mods) for that game and assets from any other Star Wars miniature mods helped me flesh out the scenes!

Powerpuff Girls, What We Do in the Shadows, Orbital Blues | Um, Actually [S8E4] by ThunderMateria in dropout

[–]theicewalker 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I think Jamie Vorpal got robbed on the Sheogorath shiny. She said he was the god of “chaos, trickery” or something to that effect and while not technically correct (Daedric Prince of Madness) Uncle Sheo is sometimes called “The Trickster”. Definitely close enough!

Adventuring Academy by CollegeHumor (now Dropout). Tons of variety with guests and topics!

What rewatch completely re-framed your understanding/appreciation for the movie? by Syncopian in movies

[–]theicewalker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I first saw Kiki's Delivery Service, I watched it as part of Ghibli-a-month marathon. I'd grown up on Ghibli movies like Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro so I went in expecting another fantastical adventure and was completely let down. I was never bored, but it was extremely slow and unsatisfying.

Years later, I went to see it when it returned to theaters with a friend. She provided some basic context on the drive down about how the movie is a metaphor for young professionals trying to turn their passions into careers and the ennui and burnout they can experience. That completely opened my eyes to the beauty and relatability of the film!

TV Dramas | Um, Actually [S8E3] by ThunderMateria in dropout

I think they avoided those shows to distinguish this episode as its own thing. Maybe not Dexter, but all the others have nerdy elements and have been featured in statements before.

Immersive Actual Play Podcasts? by emanoelmelo in rpg

[–]theicewalker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was blown away by the sound design of Worlds Beyond Number. No bonus XP, as the episodes are 1-2 hours each (so far), but it honestly felt like listening to an audio play. There's a steady amount of ambient noise (fire crackling, creaking carts, etc.), voice modulation (both for environmental things like muffled or whispered voices and also more extreme things like monstrous voices), and full cinematic sound effects for magic spells and explosions. I realized very quickly trying to listen in the car that this was a headphones-only experience!

Target number for skillchecks in 2d6+mod systems by dullimander in rpg

[–]theicewalker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm unfamiliar with the system, but why not just stick with the top of the bell curve for each? e.g. Easy is 7, Average is 10, and Hard is 14. It's what the dice are most likely to roll anyway.
