Quick dumb aside...

Ah I see, the game definitely doesn’t reward that play-style. I’m very task oriented in video games, and Odyssey certainly dishes up a lot of tasks.

Really? I’m genuinely curious how you spent those 138 hours if you didn’t hit max level. I finished all of the main story quests within about 80 hours (I did not buy the XP booster, to be clear). The only real readjustment I made was giving up on those...I don’t know how the game refers to them, but black-and-white…

I seem to recall a giant Magic the Gathering Card, where you would drop it on the table and whatever it touched was instantly destroyed.

From first-hand experience, it can take years to change corporate culture. There are no quick fixes, and dismissals and resignations sometimes just end up being band-aids that make everyone feel like they’ve made meaningful change before they fall back into old habits

As a young man, Snake Eater made we weep hideously

Kobold Press makes these little splat books called PREPARED that are basically just very small adventures you can slot into your campaign. One of the best things in that first Prepared book is an adventure about a gang of wrestling goblins that have converted an overturned wagon into a roadside fortress. While the…

This is a bad way to learn about Nex Machina for the first time, which looks like the sort of game I enjoy

You’re looking for his Insight, not his Perception actually. They’re both wisdom based skills so I understand your confusion

Any good resources for those of us trying to do this stuff right in our homebrew settings?

Friends don’t let friends play half-orcs? I don’t think that’s a thing. In fact, googling only leads me back to this very story, so stop trying to make it a thing!

I don’t want them to Stop watching. I want them to keep handing over their ad dollars so that we can keep hiring women and minorities and we can keep infuriating these dumb fucks

As someone who was playing Street Fighter Alpha 3, like 4 days ago, all of this seems very dramatic to me

Well, that guy sounds like a lunatic, frankly.
