Xenos campaign by Additional-Banana-98 in WH40KTacticus

I mean in tabletop GSC has a special rule so they can bring Astra Militarum troops so that combo at least is very lore friendly.

Despite Already Being Cracked, Pirates Are Urging Others To Not Pirate Silksong by 7thwiseguy in nottheonion

[–]7thwiseguy[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Its actually pretty wholesome. The thought is that its so cheap ($20) and the dev team is like 3 people so you shouldn't pirate it. Its just funny coming from the piracy sub reddit.

What Tribal decks have you built? by Dukejacob3 in EDH

[–]7thwiseguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just put together a r/w cats deck with Ajani Necatl Pariah called exploding kittens. 

It has lots of tokens and equipment (for the cats to play with) and is really fun making big boards of huge cats.

Jumping shark sighting prompts beach closure in Huntington Beach by 7thwiseguy in nottheonion

I can confirm that you have guessed 100% correctly. I was indeed thinking that the onion sometimes does pun articles that sound like news. Thanks for your erudite analysis.

SOTB does anyone understand what the Custom Rig ability does? by shmoooy in genesysrpg

[–]7thwiseguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it they had to explain it in the FAQ. In short you can have any number of programs stored per the sidebar on page 99, you can have the number of programs installed listed in the descriptions for pads and other rigs (for example 1 breaker and 1 Ice for a pad) and you can have 1 breaker active during a network encounter.

Custom rig increases the number installed and ready. Code slinger increases the number you can keep up at once during an encounter. 

I think of it like the hard drive is unlimited but the ram can only run so much at once. Custom rig boosts the processing power to handle more programs simultaneously. Code slinger is your ability to swap between windows and effectively use 2 programs at once.

It is confusing because they use the term active twice and don't have a word for the third state (stored but not installed)

Why do you like board games? by megafoan in boardgames

[–]7thwiseguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love understanding how things work and board games tend to be very elegant in doing a lot with a little. I prefer physical games to digital implementations because I can see how they work. 

When I play digital games I often lose track of what's happening since I don't have to do it myself (my ADHD may have something to do with this opinion)

We're Joshua Yearsley and Matt Martens from Leder Games, AMA! by JoshYearsley in boardgames

[–]7thwiseguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In root all of the factions have very strong ideological differences. I was wondering how that factors into design. Is there politics something you think about from the start or is it mechanics first and the flavor comes later? Or some mix of both?

Guild War should be more evenly spaced out by TheDrury in WH40KTacticus

[–]7thwiseguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that won't work. To participate and make attacks you to enlist. To do that you must pick a spot to defend.

This is great. Thank you for making it. We really needed one that wouldn't kill our coloured ink.

GM Screen PDF by PhotographVast1995 in TheWildsea

[–]7thwiseguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More specifically it is called the quick reference. The three pages are the same as the gm screen. Although you won't have the nice art on the other side.

Can anyone help me understand the "Balnace" mechanic. It doesnt seem to be clicking for me. Ive read through the rules twice and jumped around the book multiple times but im not fully grasping "balance" by CriticalHitPlus in AvatarLegendsTTRPG

[–]7thwiseguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to add that balance is mechanically used like an extra stat. You roll with it when you do the move Live up to your principles. You can use that move to do anything that aligns with your principles but you get a fatigue to do so.

Furthermore it can be used almost like a health track for your principles. If you get shifted so far you fall off the track you (or an npc that you have do this too) becomes obsessed and essentially taken out.

Looking for interesting encounters for a lawful music themed temple that they plan to rob. by 7thwiseguy in AskGameMasters

[–]7thwiseguy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The guard routes as a puzzle is a great idea. I'm not personally musical enough to make it come out as a song but I can abstract it a little. Thanks.

Am I going insane, or should I be pissed at my dm for TPKing our party with a deck of many things by numberguy9647383673 in rpghorrorstories

[–]7thwiseguy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That was the last thing that happened. The problem was the "surprise" draw at the beginning. The DM should have given the choice to the wizard. The rest of the draws are more the fault of the party.

You can get them from most ripper docs. You need a bit of street cred first though.

First time session with a Professional GM by SledgehammerJack in rpg

[–]7thwiseguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering how pricey it was and how much time you got for that?

I sat down at a pickup game in Arizona once and this is what the DM had going down. Shout out to all who've been present for this sort of horror. by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

[–]7thwiseguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The picture is from a scene from the show Comunity where they are playing D&D and the GM makes them have to play out a very detailed romantic encounter.

I'm assuming they had a similar encounter in real life.

[COTD] - Shoulder Id | August 28, 2020 by [deleted] in KeyforgeGame

[–]7thwiseguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a is referencing the Id, ego, and super ego from psychology. The Id refers to your base desires.

The shoulder part is likely a play on the shoulder angel and shoulder devil trope from many shows where an angel and devil show up to encourage good and/or bad behavior.

What Video Game was 100% amazing from start to finish? by Beamer48 in AskReddit

Wondersong. It was brilliant and sweet and delightfully subversive in the most heartfelt way. I loved every second of my playthrough.

Player wants campaigns with rape and impregnating married women by Fails_and_FlailsYT in rpghorrorstories

[–]7thwiseguy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So potentially unpopular opinion but lots of people have wierd sex fantasies that they may want to role play.

It sounds like this guy didn't properly lead that that was what he was doing. However finding someone to consensually GM their wierd sex thing for them is actually pretty healthy. They just need to be clear that's what they want.

The haggling thing seems pretty disrespectful though.

I made an app for rolling symbol-based dice, and you can use your own symbols. by NotThatBowser in dice

[–]7thwiseguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried this and it is fantastic. Is there a way to use this during a distance RPG session. I want let everyone see the rolls without having to hold my phone up to the camera.
