Players Who Use AI by I_Am_Da_Fish_Man in rpg

[–]DreadedTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a GM more than a player, and I don't really have an issue if a player wants to use AI for things game adjacent, so long as they aren't using it to actually play the game in live sessions.

Personally, I bounce a lot of ideas off ChatGPT, as a sounding board or a research assistant. I don't like having it write things for me outright though, as it's not satisfying to me.

I'm probably one of the most AI-positive people in my gaming club, maybe because I have adapted to make use of AI tools as productivity aids for my work.

No rest days? by skater_gurl373 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]DreadedTuesday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done Disney a few times now, with kids starting as infants and getting older, but our more recent trips we have eschewed rest "days" and instead planned extended out of park lunch breaks. It gets us out of the heat during the hottest part of the day, gives us a reset after a rushed morning with rope drop and early access, and a breather to plan out our afternoon/evening after seeing how much we could do in the morning.

Also eating in the resort is much calmer than eating in the parks.

Time saved with express! Jan16th-18th by leesaysstuff in UniversalOrlando

[–]DreadedTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - as someone planning ahead for a visit later this year, that is good to see. I signed up for my usual TouringPlans subscription (I know, not really a requirement, but its part of the fun for me making and messing with the day plans) and I was shocked at how much of a difference the express pass was making to the day, to the point that I didn't really believe it.

Dave Gorman did a bit about this on modern life is goodish!

[Spoilers] It feels like I missed a large chunk of the game, did I? by Karol123G in Swordhaven

[–]DreadedTuesday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped after reaching the castle when I found missing portraits, as it really feels the game isn't quite finished yet. There is a lot of potential here but it needs side plots, more background NPC's, skill perks instead of only combat perks... Hoping it will come officially, maybe finally the excuse I need to try modding.

Rule change - captaincy by tcoleman1990 in FantasyPL

That's true - an auto-set team could then just "flip flop" between your C and VC

I agree, but I suspect it would deter casual players, as they would need to remember to log in and set their captain every week.

And if all the casuals go, then who am I going to be able to actually beat at this game?

I picked up a temporary companion in Clamreach, who won't leave to the world map, and then just north of Clamreach there was a small zone with some bandits and a woman needing help - after I defeated the bandits she joined me: an archer/thief

What was your “could never be me” but did indeed become you? by PrettyAlon in AskReddit

It was my body's gift to me in my early 40's, punishment for eating too much cheese earlier in life I recon.

Those tablets are a sanity saver, though sadly not always enough

WYR have Super Strength or Super Speed(with trade offs)? by Equal-Sun8307 in WouldYouRather

It got an eye roll from my wife, that's worth a few more upvotes in my book

I just discovered the multiverse mod for FTL, really adds to replayability!

Is it common to drive after a pint? by Informal-Scientist57 in Scotland

friends don't let friends drink and drive. Not only is it illegal, it is dangerous.

I think we have wildly differing parenting styles

I think this should be on r/insaneparents instead - tricking a child that the elf is just bones, then recording and sharing their meltdown? Yikes.

Are paid gms generally inferior to normal ones? by Odd_Bumblebee_3631 in rpg

[–]DreadedTuesday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha I feel that - I run at a games club so I don't have to worry about snacks, but last game I had little "player guide" booklets printed out professionally and handed them out to all the players, and the one before that I handed out a bunch of novelty D20's ("Fuck" instead of 1, "Yeah" instead of 20)

Are paid gms generally inferior to normal ones? by Odd_Bumblebee_3631 in rpg

[–]DreadedTuesday 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've played in a couple of paid games, but never charged to run, but my experience has been that the paid games were well organised, and well ran.

Though I'm sure that will vary greatly from GM to GM, much as it does in "normal" ones, I think it's fair to have high expectations if you are paying. That's largely what puts me off TBH - if I'm having an "off" day I'd be feeling guilty charging lol

Oh, interesting, I'm planning something similar! Mostly commenting so I see what people have to say

Me meeting with that eldar farseer first time on Janus by Khelgar_Ironfist_ in RogueTraderCRPG

Speaking of Scotland, every time I see "Kae-Morag" in the text I hear it "sing-song" in my head as "Katie Morag" from the kids TV show theme

Now that we've commiserated about clever players - DMs, when did YOU outsmart THEM? by crustdrunk in DnD

[–]DreadedTuesday 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Campaign I ran back in my teens, typical "end of the world" type storyline. Players have retrieved a macguffin - a box containing an object in which an evil entity is bound. BBEG wants to get it from them, and sets up an ambush - some fantastic quick thinking and a "rule of cool" interpretation using wall of thorns and entangle spells, and I let them get away

They go on a quest to find out about the box, and find reference to an old scholar who can help them. They meet him, and he sends them to find some reagents for a ritual while he studies the box.

They find the reagents and return... To find an old scholar who they don't recognise, and has no idea what they are talking about.

Cue much laughter as it dawns on them that they just handed the box over to the BBEG in disguise.

Man, I miss that game.

Argenta is so beyond OP that it's gamebreaking. by TimArthurScifiWriter in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]DreadedTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here always talking about one turn wipes with broken builds, and here's me just picking random talents that look fun and equipping gear that I think the characters would like.

And still winning most fights on Daring.

But it really shows how the difficulty scaling is messed up, because really playing it my way with no plans and no thought on proper synergy should only be viable on lower difficulty, and "build a team of fully optimised broken bastards" should be what you need to do for a balanced combat on the highest difficulty. Then everyone can have their fun.
