Holy god, I never thought I’d see someone else mention DCSS in the wild!! I used to play that a bunch about a year or so ago. Truth be told, I kind of miss it once in a while. Devilishly hard, but I did manage to break into Hell once. Even killed one of the pandemonium lords.
Shit… I might start playing again.
Same. I made a post to my local subreddit, and felt that hesitation creep in. I don’t get so much on Lemmy. Also, I had to laugh because it was immediately downvoted into oblivion.
You know, that’s a good point. Facebook may be littered with ads, but at least they are relevant to my lifestyle. My wife has purchased a fair few things she saw from Facebook ads. Reddit ads pretty much are universally uninteresting garbage.
Lol, yes. I was typing while dealing with a kid. :)
I’ve been on that discord server a few times… Didn’t realize they actually got anything done. All the APs I watched were darn near dormant.
How’s conversation coming? I’ve heard great things about that AP, and might suggest it be the next one our group plays
I also did abp and free archetype for frozen flame. Worked out very well! Everyone liked it. :)
Oh man… PLEASE go for Frozen Flame. I ran the first half of book 2 of that campaign while my group was in between games. It’s perhaps one of the most coveted experiences I’ve had yet. I absolutely adore what we did in book 2, and from what I’ve read, book 1 is just as great. The AP is dripping with flavor, and really embraces its setting. I look forward to the day that I get to experience the whole thing!
I’ve done a whole bunch of 2e stuff. I’ve run a couple one shots, I’ve been running Age of Ashes for 2 groups for about 3 years, I’ve done some off-the-rails homebrew as a result of player choices in those games, and I’m playing in a 2e conversion of Strange Aeons at the moment.
If you’re looking to start a new 2e game, I very much recommend getting all of your players at the table together for session 0 to discuss group buy in and rough character themes. Once you have character themes, only THEN dive into mechanics. Unlike 1e, it’s much more difficult to build an objectively garbage character in 2e, which means the system is FAR MORE welcoming to building out an idea. 1e (in all of its glory) was so wrought with pitfalls, that if you tried to build from an idea, you had about a 80% chance you’d end that journey with a garbage character. 2e doesn’t do that. It’s lovely!
Thanks for the link! Didn’t know that was there. Subbed!
How far along are you with AoA? I’m just about to finish book 4 with my crew. I really haven’t been drinking the kool-aid with this AP. Book 5 looks decent, and 6 looks fantastic, but MAN it feels like they just forgot to tell the PCs what the actual plot is, throughout like… the entire story.
I have been playing Pathfinder 2e for the last few years. We just finished a Starfinder campaign, and are starting up a Lancer game in it’s place. I’ve wanted to try Lancer for years, so I’m pretty excited for it! :D
That’s the big one, to me. It’s a huge source of water for damn near all of Crimea. Russia destroying the thing has dramatic implications both to their campaign in Ukraine as well as their perceived ability to withstand the Ukrainian counter offensive in Crimea. This is both terrible and very interesting…
The planes are sticking around, actually. Just character alignment is going away. :)
Really? I’m surprised to hear that take. I’ve only been excited for the removal of alignment! Why do you think apartment should stay?
Hard agree. I love having an EV. Charging at home is so easy, and the vast majority of my driving is well within half of it’s range.
I am all for this. I absolutely cannot wait for it to be released!!! Super Mario RPG was absolutely one of my favorite games as a kid. I’ve been jonesing to pull in back out lately… This will be so much fun!
