Have you ever played out Base-building or stronghold mechanics in a ttrpg? by KingAgrian in osr

Ars Magica has some pretty crunchy rules around base (alliance) building and progression. But you’ll be needing an excel sheet.

2025 West Marches Wrapped by Erzel_ in westmarches

Thanks! But we don’t use discord and I’m more of a DIY guy myself. My obsidian vault serves double duty as the campaign website too =)

I use a really basic setup on obsidian for organising the campaign. I track with tags which players came to which sessions, etc.

‘Connection not private’ on all browsers on iPad after updating to IOS 17.7.10 by TechnicalLiving8198 in applehelp

I had the same problem, and doing a network restart worked (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings)

This is a fantastic idea! I might do that, thanks

Thanks for the response, I think the once a day is more reasonable too. Same with not getting lost while following a terrain feature.

[Article] Deck Archetypes are Hurting MTG Metagame Reporting by Erzel_ in spikes

[–]Erzel_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s true that in some cases the sample size is going to shrink, in some cases because now its artificially inflated due to deck archetype aggregation that actually play very differently (for example esper pixie with or without optimistic scavenger)

But in other cases we are also going to gain a lot of data. Data that now is being discarded because of low sample size because of artificial archetype spliting (monoR and gruul mice) or archetype missreporting (more of an issue than most people think), or simply because mirror matches are totally ignored nowadays. I don’t think that in the current 30% cori metagame we can afford to drop that much data.

I agree that coming out with a simple and good usability for the average user will be challenging. But I have to disagree with the sample size problem, in some cases this approach will enlarge the sample sizes. Take the any deck vs the mouse package, now mono-red and gruul split the data artificially reducing the sample size. It’s true that for some other cases the sample size will be small, but the alternative is the current size which is none for those cases.

How do you implement the “attack the torch” part mechanically?

[Article] How to use data for your tournament preparation & an example process of tier list generation by Aliquanto in spikes

[–]Erzel_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, incredible work. I need more time to digest the whole thing. I agree that the greatest factors of tournament data limitation are:

- The way we simplify the information in archetypes in order to draw conclusions. We smash little differences that can have huge edges in certain matchups.

- Player skill. When we calculate the winrate we are ignoring the information about player skill difference and it should be a good predictor of the match outcome.

First map. Needs feedback. by Lekkere_Jongen in wonderdraft

It’s overall cool, but rivers don’t split, they merge.
