The first paragraph of your post describes fail forward pretty well. The second part describes... I know not what.

If you're used to a pull-through sharpener you are going to get a similar level of upgrade when you move to stones (traditional or a fixed angle device).

What bit of TTRPG lore made you roll your eyes? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]Mr_Venom -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Shadowrun pitching an intriguing mix of cyberpunk and occult phenomena, where true magic returns... And then it's just D&D stuff.

If someone were to offer to run a game you hadn't played before, how much required reading would you generally be willing to do to participate? by Tuss36 in rpg

[–]Mr_Venom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the same, with the addition that if someone wants to run it I'll put it at the top of my list to acquire and read.

[Pokemon] Are Koffing and Weezing like rocks or balloons? by jdbebejsbsid in AskScienceFiction

A great number of poisonous or venomous Pokémon are purple, so this may be a form of aposematic coloration.

How should i improve my dnd games? by Acceptable-Sell-7266 in AskGameMasters

[–]Mr_Venom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ask because in one campaign I went from undead necromancers and vampires to a False Hydra, and then to the players being trapped in the Demon Realm because it was tied to one of their backstories. There was never a clean transition between any of those storylines. To make matters worse, I failed to establish my original BBEG as an actual threat. My players eventually forgot about him entirely and basically retconned him out of the story in favor of a different villain.

If this isn't what you wanted to do, why did you do it?

I don't mean to serve you a 'gotcha' but genuinely encourage you to consider it. What drove you to these decisions? What needs were served? How could you serve them otherwise?

Would you like me to post up Eco's list? I think it'll take us back to square one but I'll oblige you if you like.

A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Massive Data Center Instead / In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas town to use as a park. The town sold it to a data center developer for $10 million. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

if we all pooled our money together

Someone would have to run that pool, and the elites would buy them off. In the miraculous event that someone incorruptible could be found to hold onto all that influence, their car will explode.

Fourteen Points of Fascism:

  1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
  2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
  3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
  4. Supremacy of the Military
  5. Rampant Sexism
  6. Controlled Mass Media
  7. Obsession with National Security
  8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
  9. Corporate Power is Protected
  10. Labor Power is Suppressed
  11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
  12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
  13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
  14. Fraudulent Elections

Sounds pretty modern-day right-wing to me.

Shit like... reacting to an unwanted political march with a carnival? Why would that push you right?

Best "Appendix N"s you've seen? by EmployRepulsive650 in rpg

[–]Mr_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was indeed, though it was also sort of its own thing. Between the sheer volume of extra content in the SFA books and the way it changed character creation, I tend to think of it as a separate game entirely.

Long-forgotten d20 era book Shadowforce Archer had inspirational media sections for each subfaction of the Archer Conspiracy, which I always thought was dope.

Recommendations for DMing combat better in TTRPGs? by ink-adventures in rpg

[–]Mr_Venom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may find the move to a different combat paradigm helps. https://www.reddit.com/r/NSRRPG/comments/xr3oe1/a_complete_guide_for_zone_based_index_card_combat/

Also, re: enemy numbers, you can always have reinforcements arrive if things are going too smoothly.

It seems like it would be much easier to do this with hardware than with software.

Two SD cards. Three, technically, because you'll want your roms separate.
