Re: Annoying Game Questions You Want Answered

I've played a bunch of 5e and I'm not updating to 5.5, but that's mostly because I've gotten bored of the system and a few quality of life changes aren't going to change that for me.

I'm lurking, and happy to provide a third view to keep play going.

2 resurrections and 1 boost seems most sporting to me.

Use the silk cloth for the patch. Take the flyer to Incus. Use the Warhammer unless an opponent has 10 skill or higher. (11 skill or higher is we recover or missing skill point.)

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 69 – Crystal of Storms

Name: Icarus Morningstar, riffng on famous winged falls

I vote for Altos, Island of water. I think cumulus will be better when we have some money.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 51 - Island of the Undead (Take 2)

I also found this fun! I'm glad we finished it, because I was wondering about the details of this one. The bickering wizard backstory made a nice mystery framing, I think.

Re: [Let’s Play] Fighting Fantasy 65 – Blood of the Zombies

Walk quickly over to the skylight.

Also, I think our stamina should be 9, so I vote for eating a big medkit.

(Climbing down the drain pipe puts is in the courtyard with the zombies if I understand right.)

Half vote for climb the clocktower. That sounds like the most fun.

(Definitely don't shoot it, that won't put out the dynamite!)

Re: [Let’s Play] Fighting Fantasy 65 – Blood of the Zombies

Can we use a small medkit and a large medkit to get back off of deaths door?

Take everything, left is fine.

We should, though I worry that we're nearly in a lost state if we keep bleeding resources at very low stamina.

Re: [Let's Play] Fighting Fantasy 63 - Stormslayer

From the peanut gallery: This might be an ok time to pop the potion of giant strength

Edit: Though, upon reflection, it's not one of our two items. Ignore me!
