  • Ooh, also changing your post after you’ve already replied, into something completely different. Real classy. Definitely real stable genius kind of behavior.

    I’m going to say this once, nice and loud and slow for you and everyone else in the back seats : Repeating a lie over and over again does not make it true. Doubling down on a lie when called out also does not make it true.

    Now I’m going to do the intelligent thing, that I should have done the first time we had this exact same argument: Enjoy your block, we won’t be interacting again.




  • Same, I haven’t even slightly enjoyed any other MOBA I’ve played except for Smite, but I’ve fallen in with Deadlock like it’s an old friend. And we’ve come back and won from a couple really depressing looking matches. Just the other day I was at 0/12 running Bebop with a 25k team soul deficit and once I actually got my head in the game, and got a little lane assist, we came back and won it and I finished with a 10/14 K/d.

    The comeback isn’t easy, and it shouldn’t be, but it’s doable. Especially so if your opponents get cocky. I’ve been on the other side of that coin as well, going 10/0 with Vindicta and fly out to snipe without a care in the world, to discover that every enemy is suddenly paying attention to where I am.

    The poster you are replying to is a hexbear user, you have filtered out content from hexbear. This is a kludgy way to implement that but it beats having to read most of their content.

    For what it’s worth, this particular comment is polite and simply states that bone grows in to the spaces left behind.



  • One of my favorite bits about Shadowrun in particular is that directly alongside this futuristic world of cyberdecks and prosthetics and automatic weapons, are fully fledged hauntings by things like bug ghosts and big fuck-off actual dragons (one of which owns a corporation) and other mystical crazy shit.

    I’ve played a bunch of Cyberpunk 2077 but I haven’t gotten my hands on RED, so I don’t know if it has something comparable. But it sounds like you’re describing an Invae nest. Notably, bug totems are the only sort of spirit in Shadowrun that requires a sacrificial host to manifest, and bug shamans will capture people in order to infest them with bug ghosts which will gestate like xenomorph babies.

    The hivemind behind these Invae are pretty much a perfect slot-in for your gestalt locust swarm if you wanted, and they’re only interested in one thing: breeding grounds. Would be an interesting moral choice for your party. It’s a powerful entity and it can do or offer many things but its price is always going to be several corpses. Not necessarily your own, or corpses of innocents, it doesn’t care about that, but it wants live bodies that will then suffer greatly and then die. And then after they die they will release many little bug ghosts, which are a nuisance at best and highly deadly at worst. The bugs ate Chicago back in 2055.




  • I mean credit to the cleric here, when stumbling on a bodak by surprise, Pillar of Fire is a pretty good reflex. That’s one of those monsters where you open the fight with your secret weapon, we do NOT want to turn this into an extended battle.

    Shame about the location though.

    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a music focused game and god damn but it is funky. State of Mind and Condensed Milk are my favorites but the range is wide and excellent. No two songs really share the same style.

    If you’re a metalhead, Metal: Hellsinger won a bunch of best music awards with such offerings as Stygia and This Devastation. It’s not instrumental, but it’s worth a listen and if you like what you hear it’s worth a play as well. Think if Doom was a rhythm game.

    Generally speaking, all of the Persona soundtracks are also top tier ambient chill tracks, especially so if you’ve actually played the games and have an emotional connection to these songs like myself. Persona 5 is a little more generally upbeat but I like it the best, but P4 and P3 have plenty of low key jazzfunk. I don’t have specifics to recommend here but know that all three of the P3/4/5 soundtracks come with my seal of approval. EDIT: I have specifics to recommend here. Persona 5 - Rivers in the Desert Persona 4 - The Poem for Everyone’s Souls ( <- This one appears in all three games with minor differences and is close to what I expect you’re actually looking for from this thread) Persona 3 - Living With Determination





  • A player having access to counterspell is need-to-know DM information just like a player having access to flight is. It can and should be planned around.

    Also, if the player and DM are into it, escalate the arms race, start having enemies prepare counterspells. Lots of interesting casters have it on their lists but DMs are afraid to use it to its full potential. Players would do it to enemies all day long but when the tables are turned, nobody ever forgets what it’s like to have the enemy lich counterspell their heal.
