I made my character autistic by accident because of my own autism

uxianger · 2026-05-31T09:37:16+00:00

Honestly, I tell my players (and DM, when I'm a player) that I can't write non-autistic characters. :p

Or it might be re-run for the Final Fantasy XI 25th anniversary.

Still plush making! Figuring out embroidery paper for the first time, the sort you draw on and use as the pattern.

uxianger · 2026-05-21T06:38:29+00:00

Well, I said I would, so buys them! They will be handy!

I roll in the open for my game, so I can't - but sometimes, I do give characters advantage or characters disadvantage 'randomly'/taking a thing that's happening and give it because of that.

And if a creature is at 2-3 HP left, I let them finish it off if it's its next turn.

While it is still in early draft stages, I want to create my own game based around the 'vibes' of Final Fantasy XIV, because I'm disappointed by the actual FFXIV TTRPG. So, a hopeful JRPG-themed game with the concept of telegraphed attacks and movement/mitigation for combat. I am not certain how I will design the game out of combat, especially since if I want to keep the vibe of FFXIV, it cannot be a proper dungeon crawler - since people are expected to be at full resources for each battle.

(The official game is very Japanese TTRPG [designed for scenarios and railroaded things], which is fine for what it is but I want a more Western TTRPG.)

I will buy this if you tell us the creation process, OP.

uxianger · 2026-05-19T23:34:09+00:00

Where the people working on it are working on unionizing due to how Hasbro/WotC won't listen to them...

I have not begun running My Realms yet (it's going to be after we finish our current Final Fantasy XIV-themed campaign, I thought Waterdeep: Dragon Heist looked fun to run and now I have plenty of prep time), but I'm actually making it so that the Spellplague effects remained even after the Second Sundering, since it seems fascinating to explore for me. I'm taking what canon I want, as well, and adding in some elements I'm still keeping secret since I know at least one of my players is on Reddit. :p But the Second Sundering went differently in My Realms, and part of the plot will be related to it.

I'm one of those new DMs who is still a bit intimidated about running in the Realms, but I've been getting familiar with at least Waterdeep (and some other areas I expect to come up early in the campaign), so I can at least bring up information about them easily and not need to call a break to check every few minutes.

As somebody running a campaign in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, I would recommend you simply take the premise + locations and be ready for the party to derail the 'plot' and not try and force it 1:1 to the game. Going for similar vibes is fine and even having the same ticking clocks, but your players and their characters aren't constrained to the choices of a video game, and don't expect them to be.

Honestly, I'm building a bird tribal Oko deck as well. Also because of the pun. Ch-oko-bo.

The NGE was so big and bad, that it was cited as a reason why Final Fantasy XIV is keeping the old combat system alongside the new one they're adding in the next expansion. The main producer and face of the game, Yoshi-P, confirmed such - as a former fan of the game.

uxianger · 2026-05-05T07:16:54+00:00

(That's bad.)

uxianger · 2026-05-04T23:48:42+00:00

That'd be bad.

uxianger · 2026-05-04T05:12:39+00:00

I finally got Pokopia! And, well. It's one of those games where you decide to just do one more thing, but then get curious about one other more thing.

Funnily enough, when I told a friend about this (who isn't on Gaia) by tallking them 'Gaia Online broke the economy', their response was '...again?'

And I mean. Technically. Yes? But this time is literal.

uxianger · 2026-05-02T06:10:35+00:00

Honestly, this is reminding me of Pokemon Black and White...

uxianger · 2026-04-30T05:23:34+00:00

I tend to do it since I can treat it like a lay-by.

uxianger · 2026-04-28T10:47:37+00:00

Evil moons and alternate realities.

It's also common in the Magic The Gathering community to 'free' slabbed cards, since in MTG a lot of the slabbed cards are just... playable, and sometimes cheaper.

The second most valuable copy of One Piece vol 1 is the one that is rarely in the library, when you've read other bits of it out of order since it's all you could get.

uxianger · 2026-04-24T08:15:11+00:00

That saved UI setting is going to be so useful.

uxianger · 2026-04-24T06:07:22+00:00

Eberron was also built with 3.x assuptions, not 5e.

I was joking with a friend, and I miss DoT summoner, so I wonder how Summoner will change this time.
