We were playing blades in the dark, they were sneaking into the back of a warehouse to steal some blood while the rest of the party made a distraction out front, the dog was right there and he didn’t think he’d be able to sneak past it. He could have stabbed it but chose not to I guess. Maybe he thought that would be more cruel?

That was how it worked in the playtest. The sidebar saying “pick a race you really are and pretend to be half the other race” is gone from the 2024 PHB. Rules as written, you can only be fully one race, this of course doesn’t actually matter as the whole thing is imaginary bullshit but in organised play it’ll sometimes come up.

One time I was just trying to do my money laundering restocking in GTA:O (iirc it was money laundering, it was whatever business you got when the game went free on epic games) and a guy on the flying motorbike killed me for no reason and it wasted a ton of time, eventually I killed him back and he spawned in the desert in front of me so I spawn killed him until he apologized.

I’m not saying what I did was right, I did it in the heat of the moment. But man, that game is really good at making you mad at people.

Also be careful of the shield spike, the dwarf in the diagram would have just stabbed himself

That’s almost 100 whole sessions. It’s honestly too long of you ask me.

This has been happening for years. Shadow of war (2017) had orcs in loot boxes, every assassin’s creed since, and including, black flag (2013) has had microtransactions in some form, odyssey (the last one I’ve personally played) had a rotating cash shop in every city. I know it’s another Ubisoft game but farcry 5 had cosmetic microtransactions in a game that is permanently in first person. You could only see your outfit on the change outfit screen. This comment isn’t meant to come across as antagonistic but I do find it strange to be warning about a slippery slope when we’ve all been riding the toboggan for years.

They have their branding which will push people to use their platform. More people using their platform = more content coming from threads. Once they have enough posts from threads that people from other instances are used to seeing mostly threads content they’ll defederate. People will miss the volume of posts and then move to threads.

I know a handful of people who thought it looked like an impending disaster and gave it a wishlist so they could see the early negative reviews pour in

You could probably also throw the fallout ttrpg in there since it has branding of the video game series behind it

Im considering offering +1 crit range as well.

Champion fighters in shambles right now

He should look into starting a religion, you can get a solid few thousand years of people talking about you if it does well.

There are a few on the horizon, look into paralives and life by you

Me

Didn’t that come out years ago?

Does any actually get 7 perception in New Vegas? I always think of doing a high perception run because that one guy on the strip has a perception check but I would rather have the little extra carry weight and luck.

That’s not as long as you’d think anymore, it’s why the bigger studios have massive teams working on multiple games at the same time
