Love the addition of “again”.

I mean if you don’t want your yacht sunk then don’t sail it where orcas sink yachts. Sorry but actually not sorry for the casual victimblaming.

How easy it for those speaking the different languages to understand eachother?

Im not just a bog, I’m a poor bog.

TL:DR “Taiwanese voters have chosen William Lai as their president in a historic election, cementing a path that is increasingly divergent from China.”

Larger and/or gamey games 1€/h. Here I put games such as the Tomb Raiders, cRPGs etc.

Narrative experiences 5€/h. Stray Gods and other high quality intense experiences. Often short and with limited replayability. Like seeing a movie a second time.

My Swords of the Serpentine have become absence-cursed. We have had a few weeks now where we haven’t been able to play. Bit sad as it sucks energy and I really want to give a GUMSHOE system a good run for its money.

The ICON game I’m in is marching slowly ahead. Emphasis slowly. We are so very new to it that combats takes just so much time. On the other hand fighting is what it has going for it. And the combat is good, really good. So not complaining too much.

Also playing in a Burning Wheel game where things are marching on. Good group and good play but sometimes wish we would have less roleplay and more rolls to close out scenes. Next session we do start with a Duel of Wits, possibly a three way duel of wits.

Because it hasn’t been posted yet…

So you are saying that isn’t already the case?

Considering it’s the norm when you aren’t doing something genre typical to take two ir more genres and just smoish the names together. This way you get things like blackened death metal (black plus death) or epic gothic power metal (take a guess). Now smoosh those teo examples together and you get something like blackened gothic melodic death metal. See that there, now we get into the transformative properties of metal subgenres. Death metal with a bit more melody and structure, which power metal has in spades, becomes melodic death metal.

Fun isn’t it? Also I may have bullshitted together half of the above. But it is a real thing

Funeral Doom Metal is too occupied walloping in a blacked pit of despair to join the chat

I think that for his next Kickstarter I’ll get all the books printed in one go. Just to fill up the bookshelf.

They are not to my taste, primarily they lack task resolution guidance/rules so it is all dependent on the whims of the GM. I want things like outcome options a la PbtA or task+intent negotiation from Burning Wheel in the rules. Also the systems are very sparse with character abilities, a non-magicuser in combat essentially just attacks. All in all not to my taste. To many others tastes though.

However I get everything he publishes as the word building tools are pretty frakkin awesome. Tools for prepping equally good. His One Page (thing) collections of tables I put to really heavy use. Unlike many other tables the outcomes from his are pretty much immediately useable.

If you have the time just get the free versions and look through them. These free versions aren’t really cut down text only versions, they are the full game. Minus some “extra” material.

And the unofficial patch that fixes the eorst of the bugs.

Not that much. Manners, how they speak and what they are saying are for me much more important than good acting. I’m mostly acting (hehe) as a narrator until something sticks and it becomes easier to do it in first person. But even then the narrator comes in to clarify and emphasize things. Like if there is anger in the voice. If they avoid a topic.

Also narrating things goes so much faster.

It being compatible with PF2E makes this look so much more attractive. Because PF2E is good.

When I ran more impromptu or loosley scheduled stuff I used a site called Doodle. I entered when I could run and potental participants could mark available etc on them. Worked well enough. Would have loved something where sessions could be suggested but that never really became an issue. You could do that with a google calendar. Someone adds a potential session, sends invites to everyone who then can mark their availability. Should work. You could also look into workplace meeting or planning apps.

Nowadays I never ever, not even if bacon flies, reschedule. Cancel sure but never reschedule. I don’t have the time and most of those I play with don’t have the time. To keep things running I recruit to five, have an ideal group size of four and run if three or more are available. Barely ever any cancellations. Only ones if I’m not available or if there is SIGNIFICANT plot development.
