Ritiki gazed up at the towering cliff face. "Let us be hoping the other team is having better luck, eh?"

Aid Arioch's Perception check. +3 on his check if successful.

Oh hey, That Wolf got banned.

...wtf took so long?

Gonna go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra tonight! Quite simply the best Christmasy wintery music in existence.

((So what does the land look like, highmax?))

*A space 4x where you don't start with FTL and it isn't the first thing on the tech tree either

Distant Worlds, if you start in the Age of Shadows. Not only do you not have FTL at the start of the game, but you cannot actually research it at all until you find some ruins or derelict ships that you can reverse-engineer.

: "Let's see...sword, throwing knife...also this thing I stole from one of those knights we fought. Looks like it should be worth a decent amount of gold if I were to sell it."

: "...why don't you just sell it? I don't think anyone else in the team can use this stuff, except maybe you."

Good lord. Debuffs upon debuffs upon debuffs.

This bears repeating, I think. Did Rend For The Old Gods really need to add a stress-increasing debuff on top of its bleed effect, when you consider how often Cultist Brawlers are found in combination with enemies that already induce massive amounts of stress? Or did Blanket Fire, already an annoying party-wide damage dealer, need to become even more annoying with party-wide debuffs as well? A character can potentially be knocked into Death's Door from a single critical attack, does it really need to punish the player further with debuffs that persist until you return to the Hamlet?

I'm definitely getting that dick-kicking feeling right now, is what I'm saying. Just lost a promising party (thankfully none of my main heroes) to some of these new mechanics.
