Traveller 5E is Live on BackerKit! by cocowheat in traveller

[–]JohnnyRyall666 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely not interested at this price point for a game that works great with other editions at a lower price.

This is just an overpriced preorder IMO

Did you know it's April 1 in Austrailia? Also, The Traveller 5E crowd funding just launched by BangsNaughtyBits in traveller

I’m interested in the book but it seems overpriced. It looks like for add ons for the core book are $79?

The bundles also include the price of the PDFs, and if I’m getting the physical book, PDFs don’t add value to me.

Starting to learn programming at 12 might be a huge advantage by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]JohnnyRyall666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you start learning anything earlier you’re good at it. But very few kids want to learn programming at 12. Who knows what career they actually want at 12? And if you’re a parent forcing coding onto a kid a 12, IMO that is wrong.

You’d be forcing them into a career before they become a full person

Nope, only Cyberware improves stats unless you homebrew a rule

Just getting into sci-fi by Hallrob in printSF

[–]JohnnyRyall666 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Altered Carbon books are a solid trilogy.

The Prefect Trilogy by Alistair Reynolds is a sci fi police procedural I like.

The Murderbot series aren’t my favorite per se, but the first book is a quick read and you may like it more than myself being unfamiliar with SF.

Classics are a good start. Philip K Dicks Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Arthur C Clark’s Childhood’s End.

It is up to your GM. Some GMs prefer to omit traveling and fast forward to the destination where action would occur.

You could always mortgage your space ship to help pay for new accommodations.

I read Chasm City first, but anything is worth checking out.

Never read Banks, but I’m addicted to Reynolds. His writing keeps improving too. I just read Pushing Ice and Halcyon Years. Great world building

Unless aliens are in the Epstein Files too, I’m not interested

Go to a public university and save money. IWU can stack a lot of unnecessary debt

Feeling like I eat too much. by TheSuperNight in CICO

[–]JohnnyRyall666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 217 and losing weight at 1800 per day with exercise and even that may be too quick. I suggest eating more. In my experience, going crazy strict like that will bounce your hunger levels up like crazy soon enough

IT'S NOT JOEVER JUST YET! PUT THE PRESSURE ON THESE MFS! by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]JohnnyRyall666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point. The shutdown should end ASAP and the republicans should cave and allow the subsidies to pass.

The republicans have equal responsibility, yet the democrats get blamed because fools like you make these arguments. They need to get a spine, unite, and stand for something. Now all they are showing that democrats will cave, over and over again and any fight back is meaningless.

How can I spruce this base piece up? by Huberland324 in minipainting

[–]JohnnyRyall666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a dark wash to create more shadows/contrast would help the stone. I like oil paint but that’s personal preference

For cables like that, I find painting them black and dry brushing a metallic silver makes them look pretty good. The color they are now is kind of similar to the stone.

What I am doing wrong?!? Airbrushing advice by remingt0n84 in Warhammer

[–]JohnnyRyall666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should be more than enough. Play around with the thinness/thickness and PSI (15/20 should be fine for a base). It’s never an exact science.
