Miserable game design for something that is trying to get players to come back every few months for content releases. "You can't play the new hero until you grind for it until you burn out or pay" is just not a compelling pitch to get people to resume playing your game.
It's only going to get worse over time as the proportion of premium characters grows... ๐
Great idea! I subscribed.
This YouTube creator has published several quality videos what's going on in Wizard Games lately, which is a quick way to catch up on the genre: https://youtu.be/quPKQIVEX5A
Yep! It's free real estate.
Thanks for sharing this post! Doctorow has a lot of useful things to say about the current moment we find ourselves in with the Fediverse.
I'm not seeing Doctor Who on your list yet! You could give that a shot. Many of the series have the world-of-the-week feeling.
The ice storms this year were so bad in Ann Arbor that when DTE was announced as the sponsor of a musical I was in the orchestra for, the whole crowd booed.
Absolutely a good idea to focus on Lemmy's gains. A viable competitor is up and running now, so Reddit will have to compete or perish.
And now that there is enough to infinite-scroll, that's enough to satisfy any one user. Of course, it's true that having more content will allow for a larger number of high quality posts and the ability to serve more niche communities, but at least there is a viable alternative for that Reddit itch now. It's so much easier to uninstall Reddit apps than it was a month ago.
In my Call of Cthulhu campaign, a character received a cathartic, romantic love letter from his long-distance sweetheart NPC. And then the PC was killed in one shot by a sniper in the next episode before being able to write back.
It's a lot. The dice are cruel sometimes in high-lethality systems but it's made a great tragedy for the other party members- they have to share the bad news when they get back to town, and that's some juicy horror/drama roleplaying.
