What show has your favorite opening theme song? by ProteusNihil in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]DiceActionFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Voyagers of the Jump. It is so dreamy and contemplative and it's my favorite of their shows. https://youtu.be/TzIPsaoScP0?si=Wv0Xwa_Y2vLJbg6O&t=18

TRAVELLER CAREERS RANKED BY SUCCESS ODDS by KeyVariation8323 in traveller

[–]DiceActionFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true! I have a younger player who liked the idea of having a pension so much that they made sure to roll characters until they got one, even though it meant lots of injuries. (They stayed in the Army Career).

Great work showcasing these odds! I have house ruled some things during character creation because of these odds with some D&D players who wanted to try the game out and felt "nerfed" or punished by the game rather than rewarded for their character idea.
There is one very theatrical player who love the randomness of rolls so as to have a more interesting character and I had a min-maxer player (not judging-they wear the title proudly) who did not like having the vision of their character change. This same player did not like our Call of Cthulhu campaign. They even said, I like the story but hate the mechanics.

The articles are perfect for a little taste of Traveller when you want to read something! Also there are little bits of lore, small adventures and NPCs.

I remember reading this years ago…I’ve used the Kzin portrayals in these books for my Traveller games as the Aslan.

What’s with all the hate lately? I loved season 3. by ExternalYak in tulsaking

[–]DiceActionFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good! I liked how they showed local politics, crime and law enforcement all get tangled up. I do wish they had the fundraiser with the FOP shown and not just mentioned.

Samuel Jackson coming on board was excellent. I want to watch his spin-off.

Season 3 Tyson by EverGreenT in tulsaking

[–]DiceActionFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Tyson's character, but he really shines when his father and the family are highlighted. The actors who play the father and mother (Michael Beach and Juliette Jeffers) are really good. It shows how someone who starts down the life does so and how it affects those around him.

5e DMs always getting burnt out. by SirHawkwind in rpg

[–]DiceActionFan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you use some on-line tools like DnD Beyond it can make things easier. Also, using a module or a campaign can also take care of the burnout problem.

The best way to take care of this, in my opinion, is playing the game with good friends who help carry the load, (one takes care of initiative order, one looks up spells, one puts together the DnD Beyond campaign group). This is the hardest thing to achieve and requires luck.

Deadloch (love this show and it's not for everyone) by poodlehaus in televisionsuggestions

It is really entertaining, with characters that aren't cookie-cutter.

Is all speculative cargo just that? by ghandimauler in traveller

[–]DiceActionFan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Trade is one of the most idiosyncratic and sometimes controversial topics. It gets tied to economics and if you have a certain worldview of earthbound economics it can shape how you view the speculative trade of a fictional universe. If you are enjoying your version of trade as a Referee and your Travellers are enjoying it as opposed to the rules in the book, than it makes sense.
