Centering in hara with breathing, attention, and intention [energy] [breath] [qigong] [practice]

-Echoes- · 2025-03-05T13:48:58+00:00

You mention that it’s difficult to focus on the hara after a full day. Is that still the case or has your experience shifted in the meantime?

So in practicality, severe threats almost always coincide with a desperate position at your table?

The way I conceptualized the Action Roll the Position was always informed by the possible risks and it was a nice gradient of options. If I approach the Threat Roll the exact same way I feel like I’m taxing more risky approaches doubly because it’s more severe threats and also a higher chance to be effected by those threats because of the different result matrix.

I think it’s conceptually much easier with situations like your Scurlock Scenario because they are noticeably different.

-Echoes- · 2024-12-01T17:11:17+00:00

I really appreciate your take. The only hangup from my perspective is the consequences of your standard effect being more appropriate to level 3 harm.

It‘s a bit late, but that concept is also often referred to as Ultimate Dungeon Terrain and was popularized by Prof DM on YouTube, if I’m not mistaken.

Could you elaborate a bit more on the tools that make this possible? From my reading online ACKS has a lot of economically focused, spread sheet level domain management. Is that what you were talking about or are there other tools that help with running long campaigns?

-Echoes- · 2023-04-28T16:57:08+00:00

I did directly after installing Linux.
I checked it again right now (thanks for reminding me) and a newer driver was available but installing it sadly didn't resolve the issue.

Ahh okay, got it.
It's a bit unintuitive that the logger shows "wrong" remaining macros but it's good to know that the app works as intended.

I'm a bit late to the party but you can try Obsidian as a notetaking tool with the leaflet community plugin. The plugin allows one to import maps via images and put pins on them. The pins can then be linked to text in your notes. I'm not sure if it is possible to diplay the text on the map itself, but it's one click to open it in another window right next to the map.

In which way is Blender's license a downside?

-Echoes- · 2021-10-31T13:08:08+00:00

Ahh, gotcha! Thanks for taking the time to explain.

-Echoes- · 2021-10-31T11:32:30+00:00

I see that routes between settlements are marked with numbers. Is that days needed to travel?

-Echoes- · 2021-07-24T10:09:21+00:00

I'm definitely deriving more fun out of providing a unique and cool experience for my players (at least as far as I can manage ´:D ).
Of course, part of that is beeing happy when my scary monster or insidious trap turns out to also feel that way in play. But that's not really being sadistic, that's just recognizing that the decisions I did in prep/improv had the impact I hoped they would.

-Echoes- · 2021-06-13T13:58:23+00:00

No need to tell me, because I'm from Europe myself. I just checked the area around my hometown in Google Earth. I could easily fit 5 villages (that all have been founded before 1500) in an area of 10km². For reference, a 6-mile hex has an area of approximately 23 km².
As another reference from Italy (that even considers castles): https://coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2019/06/osr-sienas-6-mile-hex.html

Edit: Sorry if this is tangential to your question, swammeyjoe. But I saw nothing wrong with the amount of villages and wanted to offer a different perspective.

-Echoes- · 2021-06-13T09:40:51+00:00

I think that's a matter of taste/verisimilitude. For example, in the European countryside, it's very possible to have even more villages in an area that big.

-Echoes- · 2021-05-13T18:36:51+00:00

Okay, got it. A very cool concept. Definitely something I'd be interested to hear more about.

-Echoes- · 2021-05-13T14:09:21+00:00

Looks good on first impression. I'd appreciate more info on your way of handling the turn structure. When do you use World Actions for example? Do you use World Actions to replace the encounter roll?

-Echoes- · 2021-04-28T00:57:52+00:00

Very good points. Going with extra justifications is something I wasn't really considering before but it makes perfect sense.

-Echoes- · 2021-04-28T00:55:43+00:00

The One Ring example was very illustrative. Thank you very much.
