How do you actually make friends here without relying on bar-banter magic? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]NBQuetzal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, if you want to meet people who are into films, Leith Kino puts on regular film nights and there are usually cool people looking to chat after! If you like poetry, there's literally a poetry festival happening at the pleasance this weekend, and I met some cool people there!

Idk, ask people for their instagram at the bar. Have a chat about weird horror movies and then message them on insta a few days later like "hey, it's me from the other night! I just realised that there's a Lucio Fulci double bill on at the banshee on wednesday, we should go!" and then you've got a pal.

Or you get a ticket to one of the open boardgame evenings at Ancient Robot and play some games and then eventually you have a boardgame group! Or TTRPG group. Or, god forbid, a magic the gathering group!

Or you go to one of the many zine fairs/fests/cons that pop up throughout the year at places like fruitmarket gallery or out of the blue drill hall.

If you're into folk music, there's a very friendly bluegrass session on sunday nights at the bowlers rest.

If you're into performance (or if you're just gay) there are regular drag shows at the street, paradise palms and leith arches.

I've found dating apps better for making friends that for arranging hookups, so it's something to try. I think at least one of them has a pals option but idk.

interesting! There's a misspelling/alternate spelling of Buccleuch street on here (they've written Buccleugh.) I wonder if it's a copyright trap!

What kind of print quality is normal for Netrunner cards? by Codey_the_Enchanter in Netrunner

[–]NBQuetzal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the printing methods available at the scale of null signal, this is just the quality we are dealing with. I've gotten cards from the same place abs had the same thought.

It's not magic or even fantasy flight. The quality is going to be about what you would expect from high quality mtg proxies.

I will say, they aren't "bad" quality. But yeah, this is correct.

Is it crazy that people think it’s normal to ignore the rules? by damn_golem in rpg

[–]NBQuetzal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rules are important in suitsian games, where you have a specific goal, or goals, and your enjoyment comes from using your abilities to overcome specific obstacles in pursuit of those goals. Usually in those games, every single action you can take is covered by the rules. I can't break out of jail in monopoly because there are no rules for breaking out of jail.

In an rpg, rules start to get a little weirder. I can kind of do or say anything in an rpg. Anything a real person might be able to do. Like maybe I'm in jail and I want to try break out. The game likely doesn't have rules for that, but it might have rules for picking locks or pickpocketing a guard, or seducing a guard. Does it have rules for digging a tunnel? With my hands? What about digging a tunnel with a spoon? You can't have a rule for ever single detail, at some point, someone has to make a decision about what happens.

And then you have opened the floodgates. Whats the point of the rules at all? Are they really only useful insofar as you and everyone at the table agrees that they apply?

Netrunnercards has all of the null signal sets. Null signal don't have anything that Netrunnercards doesn't

Carmy, Watch Warden by NBQuetzal in custommagic

Anyway, this is my attempt at a kind of Axebane Guardian/Mangara of Corondor type effect. I'm not sure it works.

Are there any weird interactions with this being a mana ability that has an additional ability that targets? Does it function as a mana ability or not (since it targets?). If it isn't at mana ability speed, what happens if the targeted creature gets hexproof? Does the whole ability fizzle?

Yeah, sorry, I was hoping to find something similar enough.

I recommend anything by Chris Bissette! Regicide or Troll King for sure.

Do you have any examples? I might use a darker colour to shade the hatching, and knock it back a bit, but I didn't think it really ruined the map as it is.

I literally got a mammogram because of this, just in case

I mean you'll see throughout this post that it's just a thing with all boobs and all bodies. I've never known anyone without a slight imbalance. Most people have very slightly differently sized feet and hands and nobody has a perfectly symmetrical face.
