I want Kei Truck in the USA.

*specifically the lords series

I'm not against them trying different continuities or things like that in the future, but I think this series should stay buried.

That kind of storytelling only reduces story possibilities and to me, comes off as lazy.

One of the things I hated most about Castlevania Lords of Shadow was how they wanted Belmonts and Dracula heritage to mix. Hate that concept and its why I didn't like Sonyas' game's ending. Don't get it twisted, I do not agree with Iga and his sexism at all.

It should be noted that my opinion isn't about a specific gm - just my observations from playing in multiple games over the last few years.

And I also find that the math is not great for non combat checks (the most important rolls) as it favors failure to prop up meta currency and, unlike cortex prime, players don't always have a reliable way to generate it.

Generally speaking, I'm not the biggest fan of this rpg. I've played it under several gms and I find that it just doesn't do it for me. I tend to dislike mechanics that let players change the story... I usually find that players don't get the same level of freedom to do this in practice.

I also don't agree with repetitive play patterns being a reason to remove mechanics, especially if the answer is to replace them with nothing.

Fabula Ultima Playtest documents for Feb. Not a fan of losing Heroic Style Skills. From my perspective, anything more a game can do to make characters different from each other mechanically is a good thing, even if some mechanics are fringe.

Yep, it's available via fan translation efforts! But it's also, still a roleplaying game from the early 2000s. So it's likely not what you want either.

It does have a good amount of support, which is nice. And it even has a replay that's been translated which is goofy.

200X also has a good amount of mechanics but it's more human focused. It could be that both games don't fit your playstyle and that's ok!

Are you speaking of Tokyo Conception or are you also including Devil City Tokyo 200X?

Another grueling work day has arrived. At the very least, I have Fantasy Life to look forward to after I get home! #videogames #nintendo

Now that I think about it, It could also be an issue with me and multifactor.

The scary thing is, maybe. I am still logged in on my actual physical phone and can post as normal. I can also log into discord on my pc too. But when I try to validate in some servers that have additional security measures against bots, the authentication always fails.

Discord claims my phone is authenticated to a different discord ID than my own. It also won't let me authenticate with my phone anymore. What happens next week when they force the new rules? I wonder if I will lose access to my current account and I wonder how difficult it will be to get a new one.

Fail forward is great. I think that there are times when it would be preferable to outright fail rather than succeed to suck later, haha. But if I had to choose, I would rather have more situations in games with fail forward mechanics for crucial moments than be the scrappy doo of the team.

It should be obvious that this is my personal opinion. That also may be an unpopular one too given the landscape of modern games. But I just had to get it off my chest.

I think that's why I prefer systems that have some sort of math that actually backs up the character in their path of expertise. I want to see growth, where the character is demonstrative better today than where they begun. Relying solely on metacurrency to shore this up doesn't seem to help me.

In #ttrpgs, there is this notion that failure should be encouraged because a story is more interesting that way. I can see the merits but as someone that fails their dice rolls constantly and consistently, sometimes it would be nice to be able to be counted on when the chips are down.

Championing New Rules Presenting the Marvel Champions: The Card Game Rules Reference v1.7

I am still catching up. I walked stepped away and now I can't finish the xmen campaign boxes as they are out of print (and being scalped on the secondary market).
New era was me talking about their Set Rotation. Set rotation in a living game what a day

Approaching deckbuilding can be challenging when a lot of the better cards are from hero packs you can't find anymore and most deckbuilders tend to have all the cards.

Supposedly, the new era will be better in the long run. I am just worried about a pseudo champions reserved list for old stuff.

I thought to myself when I was dealt 3 encounter cards on one round.

Yesterday I pondered this while our group was pounded by the now out of print Taskmaster, using our stock out of print unmodified Captian America, unmodified Black Widow and unmodified Gamora decks. If the villans weren't all gas all the time, it might make things a bit more pleasant

I have a love hate relationship with #MarvelChampions.

I want an easier mode for the "board game" version of the game. Enemies that can be defeated using unmodified player packs. If we had a "basic encounter set" of about 20-30 cards of slower villan actions, this could do it with less friction.

I did like what they were attempting to do with the game but I definitely agree haha.

Teleportation circle is for Marina not for the enchantments 🙂

It can be yeah. But I suspect some really cool Enchantress shenanigans can be had by this and some flickering. Teleportation circle shenanigans.

Play it. Everyone deserves a good pet deck
