And adding more monsters (Or giving them more attacks) makes for a much more exciting battle than just adding more HP to your monsters

14.02.2026 00:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If I RP a shopping trip its usually for one of two reasons
1. Magic or rare items for things that aren't just a +1 sword
2. To introduce an NPC that's more than just a shop. They offer other services or info that the party can take advantage of
For mundane equipment its usually "Price is in the PHB"
Since they're bringing back so many old video games and franchises. I want a modern remake of Elevator Action
#retrogames
I liked his line later in the scene
We're going back to P
And he managed to say it with a straight face!
I really want to get Basara's VF-19 and the fighters from Frontier. but I've made myself put a hold on buying new kits until I at least put a dent into the kits I already own๐ฑ
About a dozen SD gundams, probably 9? MG Gundams, GaoGaiGar, the YF-19 & 21, Furai Optimus Prime and Kamen Rider Wizard
Very cool. This one is still sitting in my ever growing pile of gunpla shame
I decided to build the YF-19 first. So that's still a work in progress and I really need to get more done with it. Hoping this weekend
The team lost their power armor and the bad guy was winning in his goal to conquer/digitize humanity
Could pick from there with the Power team left having to find one of the rumored other resistance groups
With todays FX it could be awesome, even without a toy tie in where the TV shoots at you
You know with all these nostalgia properties being given reboots I'd love to see them do a even grittier continuation of Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future
I say even grittier because if you watch the original series, that shit got dark. The show ended with Chase sacrificing herself
And then my second group loves to have spellcasters
For me I tend to lean towards rogues when I get to be a player. But did play my first full spell caster since 2e in the last campaign. And its fun, gonna do it some more when I get the chance
In one of the groups I run games for, while they're not against casters, its rare for anyone to play one. Even if they do have magic, more often than not they completely forget they have access to spells
have one player who multiclassed into bard and 3 levels later STILL HAS NOT PICKED THEIR SPELLS

Any time I see pixel art of Fighter, I always flashback to 8bit theater and sword chucks

We missed out on transforming planes AND sun swords
Unfortunately no
The PC he had to meet was a DM PC. So I didn't get to do anything.
Thankfully it wasn't long after that that DM stepped down (There were other issues) and someone else took the big chair
I remember in 2e, it was pretty easy for a lvl 1 wizard to get killed by a house cat
House cat gets 2 attacks that do 1-2 dmg per hit vs a wizard with d4 HP
Giles an Elven Thief who wanted to steal everything
The one time he failed at stealing something it was because the DM needed someone to go to jail to introduce a new PC
real drunk (Poison condition) The sound of violins can be heard when you sneak (Disadvantage on stealth), you belch anytime someone says "I have dark vision"
Major - Larger penalties: You begin sweating profusely DC13 STR save everytime you make a weapon attack or lose your grip on your weapon.
Now I want to make up tables for random effects of potions you find in dungeons. Minor, moderate, major effects
Minor - Cosmetic, humorous changes: Drunk, finger nails change color. The hair on the left side of your body grows 5 inches
Moderate - Inconvenient maybe some mechanical effects
I like it
PC1: We found these potions down in those caverns. I think they're healing potions
PC2: How long have they been there?
PC1: Eh who knows, they're magic they should still be good *downs one* Ahh I feel much better
PC2: Uhm... you're glowing bright pink now
A few months back, I invited a group of friends to play D&D for the first time. While getting them ready, I realized most โbeginnerโ videos are made like theyโre for DMs, not actual beginners.
So I made my own.
New to #DnD? I hope this helps. DMs, I hope it makes onboarding new players easier.
to multiclass into cleric. He has no idea who agreed to save him or what he needs to do as a follower of them, he doesn't know how this religion stuff works
Told the DM that while I'll choose the subclass, but who the deity is will be totally up to him. All he's said so far is "I got ideas" #D&D
So my next character I'll be playing in a Dungeons of #Drakkenheim game is a rogue (probably a smuggler) who gets caught and sentenced to death. In prison he prays "To whoever is listening, get me out of this and i'll follow you for the rest of my life" and some god takes him up on it
So he's going
I'll always remember what John Rogers said about the baddies on Leverage "We based this on a real guy and his crimes. But we had to tone it down a bit because the real crimes just seemed too farfetched even for TV"
04.02.2026 19:45 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I like to look at it more as "If you think your villain's plans are too over the top and weird. Its not. Push it even further. Because when you compare it to the real stuff going on. Having your villain wanting to carve their name on the moon or copyright fish isn't that farfetched"
04.02.2026 19:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I have a bunch of signed comics, books, CCG cards from various games, collect action figures. I learned a long time ago that these things only have a monetary value if you plan on selling them
Which helped me to stop the buying collectibles as investment. I only get the ones I want to keep
Well that gives me a lot to look into ๐
Thanks!
So what are some good non-AAA #JRPGs for the PS4/PS5 out there?
Looking for something new to play that's not one of those huge name JRPGs
I used to be ok at them when I played a lot back when I used to work at an arcade and didn't have to pay to play them.

Then when they say no, go a little smaller, TVs computers, snowblower etc until you get to like What about a pen with your company name on it?
See how far you can get before they get really pissed at you
