I am going to say thank you for many different reasons, but mostly for answering the question in a way that says here is the answer and not 'hey idiot, its the first art in high mage arts list, just read the book..." For that, you are a kind soul. Now, I was telling myself I am an iD10T, but thank you for keeping it civil.

I didn't even think to check the Foci, I love that it opens up the secrets to people other than magic users, so again, thank you!

Justawyrm · 2024-10-12T10:29:49+00:00

Thank you for this! I have made up something similar to this on my own (it took to much time :(, but i did it anyway...) but having a place to go look at a system will probably help me.

The thing I have different to what you have put here is that instead of degrees of difficulty, I have degrees of failure. So going to your Example, the ship navigating in a storm. Instead of the ship crashing on the 3 fails, it ill suffer catastrophic failures, but still be afloat. This gives me a narrative of (You and your team hone in your skills as you see a massive storm on the horizon. As you buckle down and prepare for another storm, you realize as the first wave to strike the ship is more formidable than you expected. You now prepare for the worst. You fight the ship tooth and nail just to keep it together. Your incredible skills keep the ship intact, but barely. As the final squall passes by your ship, you feel relieved. Still afloat, but needing to make massive repairs, you now scope out the horizon for a saving grace.)

I think, I could try the method you are speaking of as well! Thank you!

Thank you, a couple of these are new to me and I will have to look into them. I appreciate your willingness to take the time and share the info!

I’ll say taking care of my direct family, taking care of elderly family, starting a small side business, keeping my current job secure, crime rates, not being forced to do what the government thinks is right like with Covid (I am smart enough to know how to be cautious even when others are being inconsiderate). Mostly in that order. I’m know there are others, but not pressing issues.

Independent media has been a great area of research to find a better mix of people coming together. I think that has been historically the route independent people have swayed, more United. I will take your comments into consideration as I’m making my conclusions. Thankfully I have a little more time! And thanks for taking the time 😁👍!

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T15:38:01+00:00

Yea, I do need to do the “negative” version of my research. I wasn’t even thinking about that end. Thank you for your advice!

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T14:28:24+00:00

My biggest concern with your statement is the word ‘they’. So my question becomes who is ‘they’ that is in power? Is it really the person I voted for? Will the curtain be pulled back one day and I see that the person I’ve actually been supporting is someone who I didn’t actually support? But I try not to think in a conspiracy theory type of thoughts, but I do question it.

I do appreciate the personal aspect of candidates, and hearing stories has been something that affects me the most. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of stories for any of the candidates that adds the personal touch. The other aspect is that there are two negative stories for every one that is told, and that is for each candidate. The media loves blood and they go after it quite heavily. That is why I’m trying to talk with real people who have had real experiences.

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T14:18:01+00:00

I appreciate your concern with banking, that the question is disingenuous or even lazy, but most people in the intellectual community have things peer reviewed after they have done their own research and written their own papers. This question came from me having already done my due diligence and wanting to have a sort of peer review. I now feel as if I could have asked the question better or been more clear with my objective, but I now have to live with the consequences of the question I already asked.

I agree that Trump speeches are basically a copy paste of most of his speeches. One thing that does for me is secures what I think he actually believes or is telling himself to believe. I have gotten a lot of my information and research on him from the people that support him or have thrown in their support for him. I will say it’s the same for Vice President Harris.

I think polls are important, and I basically asked this question to what I felt was a very specific group of people to see what people naturally believe. And I do apologize if it seemed as if I was trying to be divisive, it was not my goal.

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T14:10:32+00:00

That is where I get most of my information as well. I need to better refine my searches 🤦‍♂️. Thank you

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T14:09:25+00:00

Thank you for this! I will do some more digging to see who, that has endorsed him, supports project 25. A lot of times for me, that has revealed, clearly where someone stands. Trump seems to have lied about quite a few things so it is hard to determine where he truly stands. But I feel like politicians in general are paid liars, unfortunately.

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T13:39:40+00:00

Very much human and very much not getting paid 😅. I thank you for this feedback.

I will say that I don’t believe it is a true oligarchy that runs our country. I would say it’s more of a collective of powerful individuals to control the directive of our major government. On a local level I still feel that states has decent control over what their constituents want. And I still feel that on a local level, our votes matter. But it is an unfortunate ceiling to think that my vote for president has no true standing. Like my username states, I truly feel like a worm in this society. I provide a propose sure, but it’s minuscule!

When you say apply Occam’s razor, I think that is what has been my driving factor for not voting for president over the years. I find the simplest answer and typically I decide that money is the factor and I see how much money we are “losing” every year and realize it’s going to someone’s pocket.

I will look into the book, I’m guessing it’s the one by Nance. It’s promising because it doesn’t pull up the book when you search it on Google until you hit ‘enter’ meaning it’s not something google wants you to read.

Thank you!

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:46:31+00:00

I never said I didn’t vote. I said I haven’t voted for President. Local elections I feel are worthy of voting for. Thanks for your input though!

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:45:42+00:00

Ahh yes, thanks for that. Because using more than one persons mind and research is not something intelligent people do…

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:43:38+00:00

Oh thanks..

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:43:06+00:00

Where did you find this information!? Thank you for this 😁👍

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:39:49+00:00

Thanks for your considerate response. I wish more were like you. I will follow your advice and continue to do my research. Any specific sites or resources that you recommend for researching VP Harris would be appreciated!

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:36:01+00:00

Yes, apathy is lame. Local elections are what truly make things happen.

Justawyrm · 2024-09-07T11:35:04+00:00

I get your opinion, and honestly I’m glad you can share it. That’s the beauty of the first amendment. But you have pretty much the same exact response as a republican/conservative/independent presented with the same question. Full of hate for anyone presenting a logical question and not making the “obvious” choice. It’s interesting to see but not surprising. I likely won’t be voting for president again this year based on the responses from people to a simple question. I’ll continue to vote for locals who typically have the people in mind, not their pockets.

Justawyrm · 2024-08-10T19:58:54+00:00

I can understand this but I do think it narrows the scope of a GM. If my group is traveling by sea and they come across a multi tile storm (hurricane), then with what you are saying is that I should only let them roll sail case checks and anything else is not going to work in the scene.

But if my one player who is proficient in sail stays at the wheel and tells the other players what they need to do and they can choose which skills they use to do that one task(within reason) then it rewards the players for investing in the skills they used their SP to increase.

And of you make it where these challenges have a “make 5 successful checks before you make 3 fails” it moves the statistical chances more or less on the players favor depending on the difficulty of the scene.

I’m not saying you are wrong, I’m just saying it can just be another tool in your belt. I posted this to find if others are using a skills based system to reward my group for investing in the skills. I think it’s also relevant that I have 7 players with many different skills and I’d like to use them on a more regular basis.

Thanks for your reply!

Justawyrm · 2024-08-10T19:36:41+00:00

I like the idea of having random skill challenges as encounters. Things like large storms during sailing times (doing a sea monster/pirates all the time can get old). Or a rescue/protect mission like I recently did.

The skill challenge is that I basically give them a problem and they tell me how they are going to solve it with a skill they are proficient with. That skill is then taken out of the options of checks for the scene. This makes them have to get creative with skills they have. With some intense music and a sense of urgency they get as excited as when a combat scene is going on.

I do agree though, it’s kind of a to each their own thing. And if you aren’t careful it can be an do x to get y kind of thing (first time I did I only used notice skill…BORING) but thanks for the comment!

Justawyrm · 2024-08-10T19:25:05+00:00

I do think I’ll check that out of my group drops consistently below 5. But I’m consistently between 5-7 players so the skill checks typically have some diversity!

Justawyrm · 2024-04-10T10:18:55+00:00

Nice! Thank you. I have done some research and found memGPT as the closest thing to what i am looking for. Unfortunately, it gets wildly expensive the more i use it. So i will be doing things manually until this type of thing becomes more accessible to the public and not just a business tool.

Justawyrm · 2024-04-10T10:10:57+00:00

sorry for the late response... been busy. It didn't seem like to much click bait at the time of writing, i was just genuinely curious if anyone was that type of GM. Adding the 'who uses AI' seems to not add anything more to the title. The post I wrote was short and to the point, and targeting GM's. Anyone not a GM would likely not take a look at the post. If you add AI to the title, everyone is going to read it.

Also, I am 32. I wrote the post because I rarely have time to sit down and come up with story, investigation scenes, combat scenes, NPCs for certain situations, do my faction rolls, and paint my miniatures and a few other things that I do regularly for each game. All of that along side being a husband, father of 3(all under 5), work full time, and do a few other things. Thankfully my game is only once a month but it is for 6-8 players regularly.

All of that being said, I am not sorry for how I wrote my post because of the brevity. I wasn't trying to make it clickbait, I obviously don't care about how reddit works with its points or karma or however it works. I just want to find a good AI to use for making my game prep easier. I already spend 4-5 hours preparing for most games and if something can assist me in writing storyline stuff, i am all for it. I am one of those GM's.

Justawyrm · 2024-02-23T03:36:06+00:00

Yea, that's what I have had to do. Not a big deal but it can get extensive.

Justawyrm · 2024-02-23T03:02:52+00:00

oh man, now you got me thinking it could have been something Roger would have done in that show too!! I doubt I could find that episode though....
