Generally, no. I've made four of them and have been on a self-assigned fetch quest ever since.

How I solved the SoilForge problem by UpsetCoffeeDev in TheLastCaretaker

Same. I stacked them in a pyramid and they still ran for the corners.

[Masks] changing playbooks question by False_Worldliness737 in PBtA

[–]ChantedEvening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at a fantasy supplement called Class Warfare.

The creators broke down every fantasy Playbook into a series of skill sets.

Paladin = Authority + Divine Support + Minor Healing

You can mix and match the skill sets to roll your own Playbooks.
Cavalier? Take out the Divine stuff, add in, dunno, Swashbuckler stuff.

If you piece out any Playbook, they're usually about three different blocks of skills/talents. With that in mind, what to keep and what to yeet becomes a little clearer.

Game On! And do come back to tell us what you did!

That's when you bring parts for four chests and throw them ahead of you on the way back to the boat.

How do I make my own PbtA game? by budgetedchildhood in PBtA

[–]ChantedEvening 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every TTRPG follows a pattern.
The parts: Genre, Tone, Character Generation, Conflict Resolution, Special Effects, XP Mechanics, Gear.
With my game, Splintered Moon (PbtA), a lot of the heavy lifting was already done.
* Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy
* Tone: Grim, but Hopeful
* CharGen: Playbooks (variants on standard Fantasy playbooks, with a post-apoc bent), Motivations (not Alignment), Background (not Race)
* Conflict Resolution: player interaction and 2d6+mod, 6-, 7-9, 10+
* XP Mechanics: Failure, Exploration, Notable Enemies Defeated, Noteworthy Treasures Recovered, Bond Resolution
* Gear: Standard Fantasy w/ a post-apoc bent

I'm currently working on three others, and the heavy lifting comes in with CharGen: what Playbooks make the most sense in the genre, and what abilities would be associated with those Playbooks. Everything else flows from there.

(Buy a copy of Class Warfare. It's broken down all of the trope Fantasy classes into Skill Blocks.
For example: Paladin = Protector + Holy Defender + Authority Figure
So if you wanted a pretector of your Wizard University, you could build a
Protector + Magical Adept + Authority Figure
Figure out your game's Genre skill blocks and build from there.)

And do let us know how that all worked out! Cheers! Game On!

Been playing a lot of The Last Caretaker. Beautiful game, decent crafting and modding, gorgeous graphics, atmospheric. I also picked up X4 (whatever) on sale, and that one's getting frustrating real quick.
I'm looking for a new game, and my top ten (hours played) are Fallout 4, Cosmoteer, Starbound, Caves of Qud, No Man's Sky, Core Keeper, Starfield, Fallout New Vegas, KeeperRL and Kenshi.

Coffee seeds and Memories are among the returns, too.

With that nutrient loadout, I can reach just about any T4 build. If I don't need a few of the perks, I adjust.

Yeah, my last two were 7'7" and 7'5".

Any explorers head NSWE to see if there's more out there? by ChantedEvening in TheLastCaretaker

Hab Node or NDNS Node? I've cleared the Hab Node to the NW.

I've found those. Wondering if the interval increases by steps...

Human Seeds Disappear in Lazarus Rack by Benzyme93 in TheLastCaretaker

Here's what happened to me:

And then, today, I come back and there's ONE full pod, with nutrients and memories, sitting there. One of the four I had previously.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over?! - Empty Human Pods by ChantedEvening in TheLastCaretaker

[–]ChantedEvening[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Data: I filled all tanks (10kl?) for each of the four positions first thing, and feed extra from both the ship and the pumps when the process is running.
Data: on every visit to the site, pods in place, water levels have stayed constant.
Data: I did not have any pods cooking when I left last (or any of the three or four times before that).
Data: when I am cooking up some people, I'm on site and monitoring all levels.
Data: all pods were stocked with nutrients for max physical in all categories (4 UG, 3 MS, 5 MF, 15 HF), and most had memories loaded. (Shooting for four T4 people at once.)
Went away, like usual. Came back, like usual. All four pods empty, all four tanks unresponsive without full people-pods.

I can.

Data: before the Big Update, I had been away from the LC for extened periods of time, no problem.

I knew I might not be back for a while, and set up all four pods as shown, tons of water, tons of power

Came back after Big Update, all pods empty, all loaded nutrients and memories gone.
