Is destroying the One Ring actually the ethical choice if it means sacrificing countless innocent lives that I could have protected using the ring? I wouldn't even wear it unless absolutely necessary.

Got my first master AP and SSS+ on two 13+ that I have been stuck on 100.4 for a while.

Slowly running out easy 13+ slide songs to boost ratings tho lol

4/10，Extra is not brave enough to commit so it's just half-assed coriander flavor when you first chew it for 1-2 minutes and then it becomes a normal mint chewing gum.

I am looking at Naya Gate lists after the Seeker ban to build the deck, and Green is mainly a splash color for Malevolent Rumble and Writhing Chrysalis. This got me thinking: could there be another way to buiild RWx Gates that also take advantage of Snacker?

Black gives the deck better instant-speed removal and discard spells, while Blue gives us blue blasts and countermagic. Straight-up RW could also work in exchange for a smoother mana base; here is my first draft for RW Gate.

I don't have experience with Naya Gates, so I am not sure how important Rumble and Chrysalis are to the deck but I think there could be something outside of Naya.

My party just reached level 17 (Berserker Barbarian, Life Domain Cleric, Hexblade Warlock, Circle of the Land Druid, and Aberrant Mind Sorcerer), and they are about to have a big fight against the hidden boss of the campaign. I want to pull out the big guns, both to let them play with their new spells and to really challenge them to a massive fight. They are still fairly new players and, on the optimization scale, they are pretty unoptimized, so combat is still somewhat easy.

The main encounter will feature the party facing a Death Knight and the homebrew caster (The Evil Sorcerer) alongside 3 to 4 minions. There will also be a portal on the battlefield that spawns minions in waves every turn cycle, which the party can interact with to close it. I want The Evil Sorcerer to be a glass cannon boss in contrast to the tanky Death Knight. She will be sitting in the far back of the battlefield bombing the party with spells, but she will be easy to kill once the party gets close to her.

Here is the statblock for The Evil Sorcerer

She will have 3 special, fragile minions nearby that act as "spell batteries" to hold her concentration on spells. When one is killed, The Evil Sorcerer will be Incapacitated for one turn.

Her backstory is based on a "coffeelock" going mad, which is why she is a mix of Warlock and Sorcerer. I give her Quicken Spell to reflect that, and it also helps increase her action economy. Regarding spell choices, I mostly avoided "save-or-suck" spells that completely remove a player from combat (like Hold Person or Otto's Irresistible Dance). Instead, I went with spells like Web or Slow, which can still control the party while letting them play the game instead of them doing nothing and hoping they pass the save every turn.

I am also running a homebrew version of Forcecage. Because the Warlock and Sorcerer have backstory ties to this boss, this version of Forcecage will force them to fight their worst nightmare inside it, and the spell will end once that enemy is defeated.

I know the healing in her Legendary Actions feels a bit random, but I think the most evil thing a boss can do is heal mid-combat, especially right in front of the Cleric lol. Her Lair Actions are focused on creating difficult terrain to force movement.

Is this boss too much for the party? Should I tune it down a bit? I don’t really have experience with Tier 4 monster design, so this is a first time for me. I would really appreciate any ideas or feedback to make this boss/encounter more interesting!

 

Imagine fully memorize the slide and struggles on the easy tap part🥲

How do I get a Full Combo+ before a SSS+😭

I locked in when I return to Maimai since last year and finally achieved 14k with probably the most questionable B50 lol.

Now it's time to practice and improve my tap skills so I can play more songs 💪🏻
