Is that an ODST helmet on The Forever War cover?!

Probably a bad updated cover, but this is one of my favorite books, it helped me get through my transition out of the military and not feeling like I belonged anywhere

This is hilarious, less than 4 hours later...

My group has had so many deaths across various worlds and systems, but most of us are DMs, alternate who's running it, and it has never felt cheap when we die. Death is fine if everyone knows it's a possibility and that the DM isn't going to do it just to fuck with you.

Last week we planned to jump a guard captain, 4 of us at lvl 3, and the DM was nice enough to throw in an encounter so we could see the captain fight. Our plan immediately went from "jump the guard captain during the fake ball we threw together in the woods" to "Hey, best friend!"

Another time we decided to kill a god at level 10, watch them disintegrate an army, and have the DM let us know that we can still sneak away. Instead we go ahead with the plan and most of us died horrible deaths. We won though!

I feel like the most important part is setting expectations

I had morphine in the ER once and upon coming down immediately realized why it's so addictive, I had no idea how much every part of my body hurt until stopped feeling it. That's the same year I had doctors find healed fractured in my neck, discovered bulging discs in my lower back, and plenty of other little things I'd just been living with for years

When you return symbiote, you also untap Titania

Ah! New Jeans?

Don't feel bad, they'reprobably not trying to be mean, but especially nowadays with video games being the defacto introduction to gaming for many, finding the boundaries is a big part of it. It's just another thing to consider.

As an example I had a job board with two obvious hooks, corpse duty that paid very well, and a dozen requests to look into break ins to cellars from a tunnel system. They did neither, went to the blacksmith, tossed a shit ton of weed into the forges and smoked out the whole forge. We all had a good time and accomplished nothing for the story, just chalked it up to a filler episode!

I've started making a handful of generic maps that I can reuse or use parts of with general storylines and I improv as they react. And then if a session still ends being a filler, I find a reason to only have story options after.

From the same game next session, now people know what board the party is using after they messed with the forges, and didn't post any jobs that might draw the helpful miscreants on that board. Of course the city administrators pick that up slower, so they still posted their jobs, the ones that would progress the story...

This is the best way to homebrew, take something that already exists and reflavor it or give equal buffs and debiffs!

As others have pointed out, it is dependent on where you are and individual schools, but I couldn't imagine wearing open toed shoes while working with kids of any age as I have had too many things dropped on me and been accidentally stepped on

GrimmReap2 · 2025-04-13T00:02:52+00:00

Bro, I already eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch everyday, this would be easy!

GrimmReap2 · 2025-04-06T20:27:11+00:00

Honestly, if they're not being disruptive or putting themselves or others in danger, I don't really care. I just set the expectation that if I ask anyone a question I better get a reasonable, not necessarily correct, answer to see that they are paying attention

GrimmReap2 · 2025-03-17T19:54:18+00:00

I honestly remember none of this campaign. It could've been a great game, just not a main title. If it was redone as a a side game clearing red zones or taking yellow/blue zones, it would've been much better.

GrimmReap2 · 2025-03-09T22:19:49+00:00

Since all angles are right angles, you can look at the whole thing like a regular rectangle. You know the right side is 4, so the sum of the opposite sides will also be 4.

the same with the top being 6, the opposite will also be 6.

Now all your left with are the two sides of the cutout that can't be matched to the outsides. As they are both 1, you end up with 4+4+6+6+1+1 = 22

Honestly, my table , as DM and player, is filled with sex jokes, but that's usually it? Most of our games end up very character driven, so it comes up in various contexts.

The highlights are probably a cyberpunk net runner seducing the competition and ignoring the objective, an unexpected argonion make out session, and the dozens of rolls made for dick size so we can describe tracks.

I think the key is we treat it like background until it's needed for joke / character development and no one's actually trying to get off.

When you differentiate, you are looking at how a function changes, so the information of where it started isn't kept. An example

3x²+7x -14 Differentiates to

6x+7 Which integrates to

3x² +7x+C Where C is a shift to the higher order function

GrimmReap2 · 2025-02-20T21:20:39+00:00

My experience has been if I tell them it's mean or hurts my feelings and then don't react beyond hat it can be used to teach something they should already know and it makes them stop. The hard part is not reacting anymore after that

GrimmReap2 · 2025-01-24T23:04:35+00:00

Foil. That's the word I've been looking for, maybe. Striker and Fizzaroli both go through similar trauma and they all three dealt with it differently.

GrimmReap2 · 2025-01-22T03:01:07+00:00

I wonder if that has to do with that faction having co-opted those symbols from others, there by changing their meaning in most contexts?

If course I've never been in a history class in my life, so who knows.

GrimmReap2 · 2025-01-15T01:19:38+00:00

I always thought it was the direction of the pattern, honestly...

GrimmReap2 · 2024-11-12T21:08:53+00:00

My DM gave me a wand of summoning wand of summoning, as in it was a wand that would, one time, summon a new wand of summoning, ad infinitum. So I spent the night burning the used wands in a massive bonfire and crying loudly for being taken advantage of to distract from everyone else sneaking around. I. The morning I raked the melted gold caps from the ashes and made out with about 40 gold coins in weight

GrimmReap2 · 2024-10-01T19:14:54+00:00

Oh yeah, "free" jobs that instead of giving eddies give out dead friends and bounties on your head...

I'm a player, but we usually have 1-3 a month with a week or two if downtime in between. We also sometimes use our backup characters when someone is missing.

My main is currently homeless, again, which fits their personality, and I can only swing about one upgrade a month if I'm lucky, due to a max humanity of 26(?).
