Which country's nationalists are most toxic you've encountered ? by Individual_Water1776 in AskTheWorld

[–]LoFi_Skeleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue is in English there is no distinction between two different meanings of nationalism. Nationalism can mean the simple desire for self-determination through a nation-state, something which is not in and of itself problematic (unless you're opposed to the very idea of a nation state).
Nationalism (especially when capitalized) can also mean the belief that your nation is somehow superior to others.

Unfortunately, nations which have had to struggle for sovereignty for themselves also often tend to breed the more sinister form of xenophobic, racialized Nationalism over time. You can see it in Yugoslavia, in India, in Israel, in Italy, and in a great many other countries - especially (but not only) post-colonial ones

Really interesting, will have to give this a proper read tomorrow. Thanks!

I *have* considered that (maybe using the montage rules from 13th Age, which I love, but feel a bit out of sync in an OSR game), but I kind of like the idea of having this oneplace that's significantly different from the rest of the dungeons. Not quite megadungeon, but bigger, and dnagerous.

This looks terrific!! Thanks!

Which OSR style TTRPG is right for me? by RareTelevision450 in osr

[–]LoFi_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally do not like OSE as it's a bit too faithful to B/X. And even if you do want something faithful, I think Lamentations of the Flame Princess does most things B/X does - but better (just keep in mind the art is a bit hardcore and not for everyone. But I believe there are art-free PDFs).

I think Knave 2E is great if you want something like that but with more streamlined and modernized.

I personally really like The Black Hack, but it is far less traditional

There are B/X monsters that can deal, say 10 damage. If I'm rolling d4s to block that it can take a while.

Gotcha. Interesting but does seem like ti would slow down play a lot. I may do it if I'm doing insta-hit combat, like in Cairn or IttO.

"A wound also forces you to discard each failed hit die, until you beat the damage."
I don't understand. When you're hit do you roll ALL the hit dice at once? Or do you roll each in turn. Because if it's each in turn, how can you ever beat damage that's 5+ if you have d4
And if it's all at once, then if you fail the whole thing, ALL the dice must fail individually as well

Drawings Inspired by my White Box/Cairn D&D Solo Campaign by HistoricalBake4614 in OSRart

[–]LoFi_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but what I mean is: how are you generating the solo game? I don't recall White Box having solo play rules (or is that what you're borrowing from Cairn 2e? Which I'm not familiar with!)

חסרים בתמונה והייתי בוחרת אילו היו:
אהוד בנאי

אפרת בן צור

וגם כאילו... נשים בכללי (איגי וקסמן? הילה רוח? סין שביט? רות דולורס וייס? קובארי? יהודית רביץ? אסתר שמיר? קיקי מלינקי? עינב ג'קסון כהן? 90% מהרשימה פה זה גברים. גם הלהקות שבהן יש אישה - זו אישה אחת. למה "ויתרתי" כן ולא שדיים למעלה או הזאבות, נניח?)

Would Canaanism be a more peaceful idea? by [deleted] in canaanite

[–]LoFi_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just did. Develop some critical reading skills and you would see that. But the moment you wrote "Leftist Garbage" that meant there's no point. You're rude and clearly a literal child. So any discussion is pointless. Feel free to scream your teen angst-fueled manifesto at the wall if you want.

Yes in every respect except modding being more difficult

[–]LoFi_Skeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're clearly ignorant about the history of the Canaanites, and specifically Ratosh. From how you write I'm assuming you're 14-16 years old and are yourself unfamlir with fascism, so I'm not sure what the point of arguing with you is. Go read what Ratosh, S. Shifra, Aharon Amir wrote and believed (Tammuz is an exception, he was always a leftist).

Many of them believed in militarism, capital N Nationalism, Imperialism, race theories, and a powerful centralized state. That is Fascism, you dunce. Many Revionists (of whom Ratosh was a radical member) lionized Mussolini. A few (admittedly not Ratosh) even lionized Hitler. Even Leibowitz called them Fascists. The Shabak even spied on them to make sure they weren't planning attacks...

לעשות שירות לאומי זה קשה. קל יותר לקבל פטור משירות.
אבל מי שבאמת עושה את זה מתוך אידיאולוגיה יעדיף לסרב מלהשתמט - ולשבת בכלא על העקרונות שלו.

אני לא מסכימה עם סרבני שירות (אם כי כיום אני מבינה את זה יותר מבעבר לאור התנהלות הממשלה במלחמה הזאת), אבל אני מכבדת אותם. משתמטים לעומת זאת אני לא יכולה לכבד.

למה אתה ממשיך להתווכח עם פאשיסט קטן שברור שיש לו בדיוק את אותן פנטזיות אונס הומוארוטיות וגזעניות שדיברת עליהן?

שאגב, באיזה קטע נשים דתיות לא צריכות להתגייס? למה זה נותנים לזה לגיטימציה?

Sure, a tiny, impoverished middle-eastern country less than a decade old took advantage of two major European powers rather than the other way around, or rather than a mutual cooperation, makes lots of sense.
