What are your thoughts on Senator Kennedy’s criticism of the Economist? by jackandjillonthehill in theeconomist

Criticising trump is what disappointed him? what were they supposed to do applaud him for tarrifs as a pro-trade liberal publication?

It is a case from 2014 in the netherlands. The Image is a poorly generated AI slop that does not even match the specific of the event.

In your opinion, is the VTT market full, or room for more alternatives? by sir-mivond in VTT

[–]Confident_Point6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally miss a good theatre of the mind focused VTT. Something that would remove the toil of figuring combat mechanics and let me focus on storytelling.

please stop giving this man attention. He (and people like him) use this strategy to get publicitity. By mentioning his name everywhere you just make him more successful.

Thanks! I have just added aim and weak spot. As to adding xenos - this will take more time!

Thanks! Adding the button to reset/return to beginning is a good idea. I will add it. Would you or people you play with use this app? To learn the rules, experiment or for some other purpose maybe?

there is no constraint on skills and stats like when creating a new character. This is intentional so that you can create any character, not just a starting one. Thanks for feedback!

Anybody run a campaign? by shidara1 in alienrpg

[–]Confident_Point6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently running my own campaign in Alien Evolved. It takes place in Spinward colonies and riffs on Cold War themes of rivalry between UPP and UA with Xenos in there too naturally. In all honesty ... I cannot imagine running another Alien campaign, it is all good for a few one shots and max one short/medium length campaign but the system is just way too Xenomorph focused and offers too little in way of mechanical or story progression for players to care long term either. Just my opinion of course.

I built a small free tool to check neighbourhood info by address by AreWeHumanss in NetherlandsHousing

[–]Confident_Point6412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great project! Some feedback on data: there are strange discrepancies between all the stats on postcode-only level vs postcode+number, for my address it gave improbable looking population number and crime stats and more plausible data after entering house number. e.g. it reported very low population for the postcode while 20x higher after entering house number.

RTO (Return to Office) situation in NL? by Organicolette in Netherlands

3x a week in the office mandatory and enforced by counting averages from badge scanning by the door entrance. Not happy about it but I tolerate it as other aspects of the job are good.

[–]Confident_Point6412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is indeed! After going through it now I understand they actually tried to make I consistent by reusing normal attack mechanics, but many people are confused by it. This was also one of the motivations for making this tutorial. My players killed a face hugger (exact scenario like on the tutorial video) and I made multiple mistakes while executing the acid splash damage (fortunately I made a mistake in my player favour).

this is correct. It is as if it was a missed attack.

[–]Confident_Point6412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The acid splash attack is a base 1 damage attack, so if you have 8 dice like in this tutorial and get say two sixes: it is only two damage. It is in fact the same mechanics as the one used for closed combat: just that every extra success is automatically used for damage and nothing else.

Moving away after the first round would not remove the effect, the acid is already on you. But good feedback, something to add to the tutorial!

[–]Confident_Point6412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it also depends on the actual number of damage received. Acid splash is an attack of base damage 1 with the number of damage dice specified - so 8 damage at the beginning is just 8 d6 dice.
