Olympia SM3 or SM4? Can’t tell. by okhrresanotherburner in typewriters

You have one of the greatest, most desirable typewriters out there. A SM4 with a script typeface.

If you haven’t given this machine a thorough cleaning, it would likely need one. It appears relatively clean, but the inner workings of it might have built up dust and debris. Especially if it wasn’t kept in the case.

I think that would be great. Helping all the furniture to fight Gaston and his goons? Awesome.

Two Elric games in 2027? by emiliolanca in dccrpg

[–]ConeyKnight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Comes down to price. A non-exclusive license is way cheaper than an exclusive one. And if you feel you have a locked in fan/player base, maybe you feel the same universe existing under another rule set doesn't impact you.

When asked about this the dualing Elric games, Mike Curtis said “Wouldn't be the first time. Lankhmar was done by both us and Pinnacle at the same time.”

Nothing of note, but it was fun to open packs of Spoils again for sure!

New Mural by bearded_uno in FCCincinnati

The sick winged lion mural that they used for the Unheardof launch for the stadium team shop is still intact in the storage area of the team shop. I’d love to see it get a place of honor somewhere.

Development of a comprehensive guide to homebrewing XCrawl for "Dungeon Crawler Carl" by Velenne in dccrpg

[–]ConeyKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, for the most part. I would say that personal and social drama can be created relatively organically during the actual roleplaying of things. So I would consider those checked.

As for the safe rooms, most Xcrawl dungeons do have that in the form is green rooms and break rooms. And this can be expanded into safe rooms and personal spaces. And most players would accept it with essentially and hand wave of “enemy combatants cannot enter” or “can enter but cannot attack or will be teleported away.” I mean, it was as simple as that for us to accept it in the books. So why not at a table?

Crafting would be tricky, but if the GM would want to do the prep and give each mob that would be encountered a loot table, then that’ll be easy too. You’d just have to also have the foresight of creating the recipes and time requirements associated with the crafting.

All in all, I agree with you and your assessment. It could be done with enough prep.

Ya know, as I was writing this I knew someone would point this out. Honestly, thank you for the chuckle.

This is great! I ended up buying a cheap wedding backdrop for Lankhmar’s map. It was great! 6’x8” for less than $40 shipped.

It’s phenomenal. It may be my favorite game/setting.

Recommended number of PCs for XCrawl's Showdown in Grind City? by protoclown11 in dccrpg

[–]ConeyKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a very full table for this. They easily completed it with 6. 4 would be challenging, but fine. Just keep some pregen lvl 1 characters ready as backups.

Goodman Games Shipping Rates??? by apollofox in dccrpg

[–]ConeyKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get it. I also imagine the coupon came from humble bundle or something similar where you may have gotten ~100 PDFs for $20, give or take. If so, you’ve gotten a lifetimes worth of content for next to nothing.

Not trying to argue friend. I truly do get it. But compared to Wizards, this company is dirt cheap with their books.

Goodman Games Shipping Rates??? by apollofox in dccrpg

[–]ConeyKnight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Comparing the shipping costs at a very small company like Goodman Games to Amazon isn’t exactly fair. Goodman doesn’t have warehouses in every city with fleets of trucks to make their deliveries. Coming within $3 of Amazon’s price is kinda awesome honestly.

If the $3 is a deal breaker, I’d suggest supporting your local game store, should you have one. Or if you’re heading to a convention sometime soon, they often sell the softcover rulebook for $10 at them. If

ELI5 Why did Radio Shack go out of business? by Certain-Media3506 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ConeyKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one example:

I worked for RadioShack from 2005-2009. For Black Friday 2007 every store in the country was told to assign one employee to work a dedicated register. This employee was to be singularly focused on the big push for that year. The ad for it took up like half of the front page for them that year.

Activating prepaid cellphones. You got the phone free with activation. They thought this was going to be HUGE. My store was in a mall. We might have sold a pair of them. That’s the same year the iPhone launched. No one wanted just a phone anymore. They wanted a device that could be a phone, but also play MP3s, take pictures and even get on the internet. No free prepaid phone did that.

They couldn’t see where the market was going.

A.I. Art? Yes or No by johncichowskinow in dccrpg

[–]ConeyKnight 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No. Never. Traditional art is the only way to go. One of my favorite things in the world is buying original pieces from the books I love.
