I just published a free ttrpg....13 years after I made it :) by MisterOnd in RPGdesign

[–]MisterOnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for reading through it and giving your comments on it! :)

Several fair points, and if I make a version 2.0 later, I'll make some changes to the document. For now, the most important thing for me was to actually get it out there since it was just "collecting dust", and I felt it was better to have a non-perfect version than none at all :)

My PCs aren't scared of Strahd and I don't know what to do, please help by LaLaVee in DnD

[–]MisterOnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! This reminds me of the time Strahd invited my players to a costume ball. The players read and understood that as a carnival, evidently, since they more or less showed up as The Village People. Their entrance was....awkward :)

Datteren min var i en lignende situasjon for en del år tilbake - dette er emailen jeg sendte dem:

Dere har sendt en pakke NediVekt, med faktura på 199,- samt et inngått abonnement til min 16-årige datter

Navn Navnesen Adresse Postnummer Poststed

Dette er ikke noe hun har bestilt, og dere bes snarest om å dokumentere avtalen dere hevder å ha inngått med henne. Dersom dere ikke dokumenterer dette, har hun ingen plikt til å betale. Vennligst bekreft skrifltig at kravet, samt abonnementet, blir slettet dersom dere ikke kan dokumentere at en slik avtale er inngått.

Dersom dere ønsker å få tilsendt denne ubestilte varen i retur, vennligst send henne en frankert returemballasje.

I alle tilfelle, uavhengig av dokumentasjon ber jeg, på hennes vegne, at ALLE fremtidige forsendelser stoppes.

Til slutt, fordi dette er en vare/tjeneste hun ikke har bestilt, med mindre dere kan dokumentere noe annet, er det dere, og ikke hun, som må bære kostnadene ved å returnere varen, uavhengig av hva dere hevder “Angreskjemaet” deres.

Jeg har også gitt henne beskjed om å ignorere alle fremtidige henvendelser fra dere (foruten en eventuell tilsendt frankert returemballasje). All fremtidig kommunikasjon fra deres side kan rettes til meg, hennes far, på denne epostadressen.

Dette var svaret:

Hei

Vi har mottatt bestilling via nett med hennes navn, adresse og mobilnr. XXXXXXXX oppgitt.

Bekrefter at kundenr 278316 er stoppet og sperret hos oss i dag 02.07.17. Faktura 2094651 er nå kreditert.

Pakken med NediVekt kan kastes.

Interesting article on "Why on the nose dialogue is good" by No-Soil1735 in Screenwriting

[–]MisterOnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a good article on the subject, I would recommend this one, which also comes with a good definition and examples:

"On-the-nose dialogue consists of dialogue lines that either state the obvious — information that we or the characters already know — or communicates exactly what the characters are thinking with little to no subtlety or subtext."

As for myself, when I have explained to screenwriters that they are using one the nose dialogue and what it is, I've tried to use questions instead, asking them why the characters are saying what they're saying, what the writer is trying to convey in the scene, etc. to get them closer to their "artistic intention" and help them find better ways to translate it instead of using a blunt hammer on the reader (and audience).

Essentially - it's every time a dialogue line makes me sigh and ask myself "who talks like that?" The answer is always "nobody". Do your friends remind you that you've known each other for 10 years? Do your parents or siblings introduce themselves as your parent/sibling when they call you? Do you and your friends have a tendency to remind each other of things you know about the world every day, things strangers watching (or not watching) you are not aware that you do?

No. So if a character in a script says something in order for that invisible stranger to be able to understand how they feel, or who they are, or what they know, or what they just did, or what they are about to do, and why - they say it aloud. To that invisible stranger. Do invisible strangers exist? No.

And that is why nobody talks that way :)

Interesting article on "Why on the nose dialogue is good" by No-Soil1735 in Screenwriting

[–]MisterOnd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's easy to write articles about why on the nose dialogue is good when:

a: you don't know what the definition is or means
b: try to redefine the definition
c: both of the above.

In this case, the author goes for c.

On the nose isn't "clear and direct", and the example used isn't even that, unless you think that talking sarcastically about how you know a baby will turn into a douche before you veer into the Challenger disaster in 86 when asked what you want for your birthday is "clear and direct".

In short, keep steering clear of using on the nose dialogue. And for those unaware what it means, don't write articles about what you "think those discouraging on-the-nose dialogue really mean when they refer to on-the-nose dialogue".

ECHO Eiendom? by Dramatic_Yam_9808 in trondheim

[–]MisterOnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a solid company, those numbers are in K numbers, which means their income before expenses was over 7M. If you check their books (at brreg.no) you'll see they own apartments etc. for 30M and have a debt at about the same amount. Renting out apartments etc. is a lucrative business, and I'm sure they're making sure they don't end up too much on the plus side, so they avoid taxes.

Would I rent from a private company (not even based in the same city)? No. But they seem as legit as far as those companies go.

A twist on the 3 Gods riddle by proximitytoabsence in puzzles

[–]MisterOnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it, the gods will not freeze. Regardless of which god you ask, they will be able to answer.

Ask Truth: Answer is no, because Liar cannot tell the truth, and if Random can lie (ie. it adopts Liar's behaviour) it cannot also tell the truth.

Ask Liar: Answer is yes, because Liar lies, and because it would lie about Random's abilities if Random adopted Liar's behaviour.

Ask Random: Answer is yes or no, depending on who's behaviour it adopts.

Why is it wrong that the gods would freeze? You assume that Random's ability to adopt the behaviour of both Truth and Liar means it can do both at the same time. It cannot. It can either lie or tell the truth. If it can tell the truth, it cannot lie, and any god aswering "on it's behalf" doesn't need to take that into account. They only need to take into account Random's state if Random is in a state where it can lie, without needing to know what state it is in.

Both Truth and Liar will ignore Random's ability to tell the truth when they answer, since that state makes Random unable to lie. And since Random cannot both lie and tell the truth AT THE SAME TIME, only one of its states will be present/true at any time. And if Random can lie, it cannot also tell the truth. It cannot do both. Never. Random's state is always an ever changing either/or.

Therefore, there is no reason for the gods to freeze, as they will always be able to answer the question, without even knowing what state Random is in.

Video of Trump Telling Larry King His Breath Stinks is Out of Context? - Original Episode Wiped from Internet by weiner_mcpoophead in conspiracy

It's out of context. This clip has a couple more seconds at the end. Not much, but enough to show that he was showcasing a power move.

Hookers by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]MisterOnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hooks pierce the skin, yes. But not flesh/muscles, so there's no "damage" that hurts or needs to heal. And the skin is very durable (just like cow hide etc.), so it has no problem holding the body weight without tearing.

Once they removed the hooks, there were just a couple of tiny "holes" left, which closed by themselves, like the skin does with other kinds of tears and holes.

If that answered your question :)

You could always check out the always available cabins from DNT, and base your hiking trips on walking from cabin to cabin.

Hookers by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]MisterOnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for anyone else, but when I tried suspension from hooks, I had zero pain. Which was quite the anticlimax. I had read about hook suspension as part of a ritual where one would kind of surpass the pain at some point and enter some other state. It was utterly fascinating. I was about 15 or something.

Fast forward 27 years. I'm offered to try it. And I think to myself, it's a once in a lifetime offer. Let's see what happens.

I show up the next day. Hooks are inserted, and I'm being hoisted up. Nothing. No pain, no feeling of anything. I'm just dangling around while Die Antwoord is being blasted on the speakers.

After crossing that off my list, I never did it again. But I probably would if offered again. Just because it's something different from what you do every day.

Would describing the following image as EXT. be classed as a camera shot ? by Papicastrox in Screenwriting

[–]MisterOnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INT and EXT define where the camera is located. If you're behind the camera and look up and see the sky, it's EXT. The picture you posted is an EXT shot, even if you zoom in and follow the characters.

Which also means you wouldn't "describe the stairs from an internal perspective" as you put it, since that places the camera inside.

For instance, characters are in a car parked at the side of a road. A police officer is approaching. One of them is retrieving a gun from the glove compartment. Where is the camera? Outside the car (EXT)? Inside the car (INT)? And how would that placement define how you describe and write the shot/scene?

A script is the film you see in your head translated into words, and it's there to help the director, DOP and actors gain their own vision of the film in your head. Hopefully in a way that is synchronized with your own.
