I’m a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.
Sounds like something that should be dealt with via safety tools, and mentioned in a session zero. I’ve never seen something like that explicitly mentioned in safety tool guides though…
And last session I did start to get (mildly) annoyed in real life at a character who was annoying in-game… so maybe I’ll add this to my list of things to mention pre-game.
I’ve got slugblaster coming in the mail - the character arc mechanic looks awesome
I don’t know most of these - how well does this represent the diversity of mechanics?
Ah, cool! I reckon I’m into that, though it wouldn’t be my primary aim. Thanks!
Cool answer, thanks. I like the way you explore and combine attributes.
What do you mean by “bleed potential”?
This might be a bit more readable as bullet points…
Any comment on why these examples in particular?
I think my players are doing a decent job of most of this. The newer ones perhaps less so with the engaging with NPCs, but that’s also probably substantially my fault as a GM, for not making opportunities more explicit. I/we identified that while reviewing our last session, and discussed with a more experienced player, and I have some ideas for how to improve.
Not homebrew, it’s actually Defenders Almanac (which isn’t really PbtA, but kind of similar mechanics). I asked them what they wanted out of the game, so there’s broader goals that I took notes on. I should try to translate that into specific in-campaign goals (there’s already a broad setting goal - defeat the mechs).
So far they seem to be OK with sticking together. Perhaps more focused on the game progress than actually being their characters.

Oh yeah, I searched for that the other day, then got distracted. I guess this one?

Haven’t come across that channel before. Is it this one?
Great stuff, thanks! I was aware of a few of those (backstory, motivation, character flaws), and had suggested them to players. Some of them already had some backstories that included a few of each, even some of the newbies. The physical flavour thing is cool - a couple of them have something like that, but I could point it out explicitly. A couple have backstories that involve NPCs too, which I could start to work in.
Sounds like that shit with dodgy smoking detection in a hotel from last week…
That problem seems tiny relative to the convenience that symlinks offer…
Sorry, I didn’t follow any of that… What is the plan 9 solution? I searched, but didn’t see anything obvious
What would have been a better solution?
Maybe we should not listen to those people
Does anyone else think that browsers implementing every single feature of an operating system is a dumb idea?
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for explaining in detail what I meant by the very first part of my comment.
Not quite what you want, but in dolphin you can open a terminal with F4, and then just type sudo deb -i <package.deb> and your password. Pretty quick.
Is it just me, or does this seem kinda narrowly focused on D&D-like games? Would be interesting to know how this history interacted with story games more broadly.
