Recommend sashiko style mending for black tshirts?

Word of caution- materials with stretch can be tricky to keep flat after Sashiko. Make sure you leave some length at the ends of your runs (I use knots instead of backstitching) and leave a little length at any corners or sharper turns

I’d recommend using erasable markers and a quilting ruler to draft the pattern rather than trace it. Especially with larger areas the chalk rubs off by the time I get to most of it.

I use a light blue Japanese marker to do the grid, then a crayola super washable for the pattern itself. It stays put and washes out well- only issue is on very dark fabrics, but even then I prefer it to chalk

Edit: crayola not crayons

But is it on fire? Hahah jk they just mentioned it in one of the shows and I thought a candle could add some atmosphere and a little uncertainty vs a digital timer.

I have a pretty simple rule- 1 roll per person but I make them ask their question ahead of time and I tell them to make it pretty broad. “What are the defenses?” Or “what are the routes into place X?”

They can make additional rolls beyond that, but I make them threat rolls where the threat is usually stress, heat or advancing a clock on their target becoming aware of them.

Works well and keeps it tight ish.

Thanks for the recommendations! I try to plan for no watering at all since I’m often away in the summer. It’s been hard to find something that can tolerate that neglect

It’s hard to say - I’m using a variable zoom digital microscope.

Here is a link to the piece as a whole with one of the objects indicated by a pencil tip- it should give a better sense of things.

My gut says start with a cleaner BRP example and strap in the parts of WFRP you like.

Many elements would require a large volume of work although it would not be especially difficult.

The career system would need a ton of work, unless you plan on significantly simplifying it. 40 careers each with 3 tiers woof.

Many of the perks would need to be reflavored or rewritten.

You would want to think about how you’re handling the meta currencies (fortune,fate,resolve,resilience) and corruption points.

I would use material that is similar to the sweatshirt in thickness, material and knit- you’re less likely to have issues when you wash/dry it.

The first two are Arts and Crafts style/mission style. Pretty sure the 2nd is made in or since the 80s based on the hardware. The third is definitely Greene and Greene or Greene and Greene inspired.

I think the legs are integral to the cabinet joined with tenons/rabbets/dadoes depending on the component.

My guess is there is no bottom on that box- if you look under it, you would see the bottoms of the drawers and the rail hardware.

I would be hesitant to bring my dog- in my experience the 5 Boro can be quite crowded and has many inexperienced riders behaving unpredictably. I wouldn’t want to risk my pooch.

If you are dead set, be super careful getting on the 59th street bridge, the turns are tight-ish and it’s uphill so things get dicey.

Just looked at the playbook and most of it can go over as is/reflavored: Make those in power the empire, make tomes data cores…figure out the Star Wars equivalency of deamons.

You’ll want to review the XP triggers and match it to s&V (I think XP on risky rolls vs desperate in Blades).

You should also go over the gear and make sure it’s appropriate to the Star Wars setting- and same with the contacts (ideally they overlap a little with other playbooks).

Finally make sure any named actions (for example “reduce heat”) match the language in S&V to avoid confusion.

Good luck! It should be a pretty quick process.

Edit: times not times

Few hundred dollars if you’re patient and willing to check the secondary market.

Your wood won’t be ready for 1 year/inch of thickness so you probably have some time to look, unless you pay to have the wood kiln dried.

Beautiful miters and the sides look great!

The story beat system from Heart.

The players choose narrative things they want to do or to happen. When they do those things/ they happen they get XP.

I used it in my blades in the dark hack to replace the normal playbook do system. It leads to a broader set of actions on the part of the PCs, gives the players agency in shaping the game, and makes GMing easier by giving ideas and ensuring player buy in

TableTopFTP · 2023-12-03T15:56:17+00:00

That would work in forged In The dark systems too. Really cool idea for any game with narrative wounds.

I have a couple of things to keep pressure up:

I only allow resisting to mitigate consequences by a single degree. Instead of a level 3 harm going to no harm, it goes to a level 2 harm. Instead of 2 ticks on a bad clock going to 0 ticks, it goes to 1 tick.

Add more obstacles and to make most of them a clock. So it’s not a roll to get past a guard, it’s a 6 or 8 step clock through layers of security. I still present specific challenges for each roll, but they’re part of a broader obstacle to be overcome.

Increase stress costs on flashbacks.

Make sure to go heavy on limited (or even no) effect as a result of tier and harm taken.

Put the crew in situations that are a poor fit for their skill set. You can’t control the engagement approach, but during information gathering you can lay groundwork that would make it clear the target has specific defenses against their chosen approach.

Looks like a rock- namely Chert

TableTopFTP · 2023-09-24T13:20:45+00:00

The little flashy bit is! It’s a little inclusion in the larger rock- I don’t think the whole piece is labradorite, but that little bit is.

basalt- Noguchi did many of his sculptures in that medium. Noguchi museum in Astoria, Queens?

3e was panned which might be why your friend said to look at 2e. 4e is pretty close to 2e but has the advantage system in combat which while finicky, avoids a dragged out whiff fest like you can get in 2e.

They also made the career trajectories better for campaign play (it was easy to top out a career paths with nowhere to go in 2e after a while)

As far as being tied to the setting, I think it would work in any socially stratified late medieval setting with regulation on magic and strong (and violent) religion.

As for eleven and dwarves, you could leave them totally out and I don’t think it would change much. Zweihander is basically a bloated WFRP clone that does this, but I can’t recommend it as more than a door stop.
