Re: BTW - Video Series List and Discussion Thread

Go ahead and post them here. I think it's reasonable to keep all discussion regarding videos in one place, but getting the OP organized will help everyone. I just had a thought, what about organizing the op like this? Using Icynewyear as an example again. ----Icynewyear---- Adventures in Icyopolis B...

Re: BTW - Video Series List and Discussion Thread

It's just a place to start, fortunately I can edit it as needed! When you put it that way Rawny I suppose it makes more sense to link to the series rather than the channel. I can make that change easily enough. Maybe linking the playlist page for the BTW videos if one exists would be sensible. Here'...

Re: General BTW "Let's Play"s thread

I kinda like it and if it were to happen, this thread and all new ones would have to be and get locked. The problem is what if the OP'er "disappears" or starts slacking. I can foresee the OP getting out of date and full of discontinued serieseses. There would have to be a set "time&q...

Re: General BTW "Let's Play"s thread

If there is interest, I'd like to start a new thread for everyone to post the LP videos in since it appears Six is too busy to take on the job. I would like to put a channel list in the OP so it's easier to find people. I've discovered a few new let's play series once I noticed this thread, but I kn...

I'll try that out tonight. I don't feel that spamming my thread is appropriate unle...

Re: Better than Wolves videos - Group Multiplayer

I've also got a general question for anyone reading this thread. I currently have a bit of a backlog of videos. I've currently scheduled 3 a week, but would you rather see four to clear it out a bit faster? I'm tentatively thinking (Tues, Thur, Sat, Sun) but only if you don't think it'll be too many...

Re: Better than Wolves videos - Group Multiplayer

Episode 4 of Better than Wolves with Family and Friends is live now. Just continuing to build up our base and food supply. Enjoy! Yeah, building up the early tech goes much faster with a group, but there comes a point where more people doesn't help as much. I expect it'll be especially noticeable w...

Re: Boats and Squids

I've had plenty of good fortune sailing on the open ocean during the day. Not a single squid incident. Rain and night are deadly though, so I just make sure to plan my journey carefully. Usually I stay close to shore and just set up a small base during the night. I've got ideas how I would handle a ...

@Gunnerman21. No worries, it's an honest mistake. To be honest, I completely forget that that was even a thing. :-)

You know, now that you all have mentioned it, I vaguely recall a conversation about temporary mob invulnerability. It might have even been here on this forum somewhere.

Yeah.

Hi Guys! I finally got my act together and organized my friends together to record us starting fresh playing Better than Wolves.

Re: Limit Theory

I actually did pay into Limit Theory through kickstarter. The whole idea of building most of the game proceedurally rather than through fixed art assets appealed to me quite a bit. Enough for me to throw a few dollars his way for a copy of the game. Limit Theory certainly seems to be coming along ni...

Please fire away with comments if you have them, as I'd still very much like people's opinions on this one way or another, and now that they've hopefully had a chance to play around with these prereleases some. Sadly I haven't had time to try out the FAR version, so I won't comment on the merits of...

When faced with a task of the sort you describe, there are a couple things I've done in the past: 1: Break it into manageable chunks. In your case, break creating massive numbers of spells into groups. Same with the skills. An alphabetical list is borderline useless when compared with something brok...

Re: Dungeon Master Help (Dungeons and Dragons v3.5)

I found the concept of proper level to be quite meaningless when DM'ing 3.5. Too many balance issues. Here are a couple tricks I found with crafting encounters in that system: - If you have an item intended for the party as treasure, arm your npc with it instead of it being in a box. Nothing like a ...

I'm pretty impressed with the game, I'm still early but it's quite fun so far. Has quite a few qualities of terraria, especially visually, but there are a number of interface improvements that I prefer already.
