  • My group are currently fighting the BBEG in our PF2e Agents of Edgewatch Campaign. We've taken our characters from level 1-20 (a few deaths or departures along the way) It's been about 2-2.5 years that we've been running the game, so it's a bit sad to see it ending, but also exciting that we've made it this far.

    Mild spoilers are marked below, nothing major plotwise. My character is currently the party member that wields the maguffin. Its a ::: spoiler spoiler level 25 artifact that can cast a 10th level Dominate spell unlimited number of times/day, with a DC 49 Will save. Downside is that my character is the only one who can wield it safely, due to not having the Good alignment (I'm a LN Rogue focused on Dual Weapon Warrior, so using the super magic artifact is an interesting change).

    :::

    Shenanigans have been had. ::: spoiler spoiler During a single fight, there was one boss monster and 4 demons. I ended up permanently dominating 3 of the demons, and had them carry my other party members around, lifting them up near the flying boss, so the melee fighters could smack him. :::

  • I'll second the recommendation for ITAD. It's nice that it shows me the various store prices for a game I'm already looking to pick up. As a nice secondary bonus, it's my understanding that all the sites listed in ITAD are verified to not be sketchy in regard to grey market keys, which I go to great lengths to not support.

  • My first experience with Dark Souls 1 was a real test of patience. I hadn't realized how helpful the roll mechanic was. So there I was, from the start to the finish of the game, either blocking attacks with a shield, or just tanking them.

    Once I got to Anor Londo, I remember kitting myself out in the Giants Armor, with a paired Giants Shield, and a Black Knight Sword that had been carrying me through the rest of the game. I was at something like 99.8% equip load, just enough that if I equipped a longbow, it put me in the over-encumbered slow walk.

    And that's how I beat the game. Just tanking everything that came my way. I got up to Quelaag in NG+ before I had to call it quits.

    During the run, the rooftop Gargoyles gave me enough grief that I had to put the game down for a couple weeks. Had I decided to just give up then, I imagine my opinion of the Souls-like genre would be quite different today.

  • A portion of the feed was made up from a user posting articles to this feed from one of the other instances. They generated a bit of discussion, but mostly it was lower effort links.

  • we are not out to build a space that grows at any cost. we want a better space

    Fully agreed. I'd personally rather have less overall content, if it means that the sense of community remains strong.
