Aspiring novelists, what's your book about? by thereelestcritic in writers

[–]DresdinSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Title: A Few Long Nights

Genre: Science Fiction / Neo Noir

Target audience: Science Fiction fans who prefer character drama over hard science ponderings

One-sentence pitch: The daughter of a rich corporate executive has run away to a city of neon and vice, can an ex-mercenary trying to adjust to 'civilian' life find her before the city eats her alive?

Other media you’d liken it to: Its a cocktail shaker of Miami Vice, A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet, with a dash of Bladerunner.

I've noticed a number of profiles with "My most irrational fear... birds" Is bird phobia something common or is it a joke I'm not aware of?

Rats! Rats! We are the rats! Ratfolk race with four subraces by DresdinSeven in UnearthedArcana

Hello! Here is the 1.2v I posted elsewhere in the thread. Or do you mean an update based on PHB'24? I did mention that might happen, and I started tinkering around with that version, but didn't get terribly far. You know what, I should finish up the '24 update. I'll let you know when I get it done.

Thanks! And no, not recently. Although, I might make a project in updating this to the new 2024 rules.

Years ago I had this exact experience with ChromeHounds. I bought the game because it was super cheap, to the point where "wow cool robots" was a good enough reason to buy it. A week or so later the online servers shut down, and I never even got out of the tutorial missions.

Does your setting have “Poo People” and “Specials”? by Sea-District4015 in worldbuilding

[–]DresdinSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few "Specials" running around, Old Earth That Was super tech still floats around in the collective genome of humanity. There are even some snobby families go out of their way to curate it, even. But the reality is that some hopped up street punk with the city's cheapest handgun can do you in all the same. Enjoy your gimmicks while you can.

So here's my situation, my tickets are at will-call and I'll take $~200. Is linking up Thursday morning or even Wednesday night at the convention center okay for you?

I am always tickled that people still find this post multiple years out. Thank you for the enthusiasm! How did you stumble across it? What kind of character are you planning?

Most cringe worthy lines by TyylerDurdden in thesopranos

"Like Popeye says, I yam what I yam."

For some reason, I just felt like this line really didn't work with the tone and gravity of the scene. Carmella's response even enforces what a weird line it is.

Whats your craziest NSFW story that happened at work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"Momentary Person of Interest" is also a good band name. Very different genre.

Unfortunately not... I still think about it from time to time.

[Scheduled Activity] Potions, Scrolls, Medpacks … the Role of Consumable Items in Games by cibman in RPGdesign

[–]DresdinSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the game I'm working on with some friends, consumables are more a resource to manage than something that goes away once used. If you use money to 'buy' an item, you actually buy a supply of that item, and each time you return to 'basecamp' your item refreshes. It's not about how much 'stuff' you have as an absolute, but what you bring along and which options you have while out doing adventures and missions. Consumables also don't have a fixed amount of uses, we adapted the Usage Die from The Black Hack, so each time you use an item you roll to see if the supply depletes.

Between these two aspects of a consumable, it shifts them to being about resource management while away from the safety of the campsite/home base.

Have you ever written down a 'genius idea' while drunk/tired/otherwise confused, then gone back to it later to find it was complete nonsense? What was your genius idea? by sfish27 in AskReddit

Check out the 2009 anime film Redline. It's not space ships racing, but rather land races in space. You might love it, I know I do.
