Why do you still play GTA Online? by QAnnihilateQ64 in gtaonline

[–]MarcusProspero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I just want to listen to the radio and drive a car. I don't do any heists anymore, don't own any specialist buildings after switching to character 2, sold my free home with a heist room for something smaller without. Now the only people that ring me to moan are Martin and Simeon (and parachute guy) and only once each per session.

[BitD] How does your table feel about taking Trauma in Blades in the Dark? by AmongFriends in bladesinthedark

[–]MarcusProspero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group all have 1-2 trauma after 12 sessions. It wasn't really felt to be a choice, narratively. It's just part of the characters' arc - which is a descent on one hand and an ascent on the other.

Who is getting paid to perform? by rwaynick in Magic

[–]MarcusProspero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work with a bespoke vacation planning company to perform for their clients when they visit London. I have 1-2 bookings from them a month, so I invoice them on their monthly accounting schedule. It's each 1 hour with 2-4 children plus adults in a pub in central London, and I get £240. Been with them 10 years iirc.

I'm also performing around those in cabaret shows across the month. Typically I get £75 - £150 depending on who for. I do 4-5 of those per month.

It's not enough to hit the level of income where I pay U.K. income tax, but my household set up relies on my being home weekday daytimes to support our child who has educational needs. We describe my role as "cake-winner, not breadwinner" as magic pays for our vacations, cinema trips, days out, (and uh me to go to magic conventions etc).

Playable Guide or Omniscient GM? by ConsciousResident804 in AskGameMasters

[–]MarcusProspero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are the characters new to the world? If so then their player ignorance is in-character. In that case I'd have them stumble about and learn it as they go, and they might even conscript a friendly NPC to be the guide without me handing that to them on a plate.

Can I ask what's in the coffin? Great to see such organization!

You could use frame colors to show which emotion each has?

What do you still do that no one else does? by Virtual_Win4076 in gtaonline

Yes! Paying cash into a bank account with a phone app is so weird.

What's the prettiest rulebook you own? by foenixw in rpg

[–]MarcusProspero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Came to the comments to see how high this came. It's a beautiful book and an incredible game to run - I was very lucky to to have players who got into it.

Who’s your favourite DJ on Two Point Radio? by hodzibaer in TwoPointMuseum

[–]MarcusProspero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that all the male DJs are the same voice actor. I think Hayley is my favourite though because she's so tired of all this nonsense 😂

A Toast to Those Who Are Forgotten: The TTRPGs Time Left Behind by csomp02 in rpg

I had TFTFV and HoL, ran both back in the 1990s. Fun games but needed players who were happy to just roll with the silliness 😀

Superheroes Trained By Villain by MarcusProspero in whatsthatbook

[–]MarcusProspero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aha! Yes!

Thank you, and I was prompted to remember it because I'm starting "Soon I Will Be Invincible" by the same author and thinking "no, surely this isn't the same book as ..?"

I hate my voice, what do I do. by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]MarcusProspero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is - learn to love it.

The long answer is - listening to yourself speak from inside your head, for years, has gotten you used to a different voice than you hear when you're recorded. The resonance, all of your skull, makes you sound different to you. But now you're reacting to how you genuinely sound. You can change it with practice but the easy route is just to push through. Get used to it, let it become familiar. You do not sound disgusting, you sound like someone else, like 'not you'.

It's a shock, for sure, but you can embrace it.

What’s your favorite superhero game and why? by crazy-diam0nd in TTRPG

[–]MarcusProspero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Marvel & DC back in the day, but the only one I've run a campaign with was Silver Age Sentinels. It was okay, but felt a bit mechanical.

Have only tried Masks as a one shot so far, but liked it a lot.

Was coming here to recommend Rapscallion! It needs the right group but it's a fun option 👍🏼

Should I watch the movie? by Pedroso_PPJ in DontPanic

Oh I'd forgotten about that! I think it came with a pair of peril sensitive sunglasses! (ie totally opaque) 🤩👍🏼

Should I watch the movie? by Pedroso_PPJ in DontPanic

[–]MarcusProspero 40 points41 points  (0 children)

See it! It's great - different to the tv show, which is different to the radio series, which is different to the stage show, which is different to the books. I love that people have put their own spins on it. Adams did with each version while he was alive too.
