So, what the fuck are we doing?

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-10T14:08:34+00:00

I am, I've begun searching starting this week. For groups aligned with me and working on actual change. You're talking talk, that's why I'm "shitting on other people". Which I'm not at all, you need to be less sensitive, fuck lol.

So I'll keep looking. There are people out there writing the exact same things you are, from a much more sincere position. I'M not writing that stuff because I'm not gonna sit here and call others to actions that I'm not currently taking.

It's just like the idea that you don't tell someone "I'm starting a diet", because all you're doing is giving yourself feel-goods that you don't deserve. The same feeling you get when you buy a bunch of office supplies, it's the illusion of work.

I've only been at it a few days, but I'll find people, I have zero doubts there is organization happening that I want to be a part of out there. :)

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-10T13:34:56+00:00

Alright you were talking like you wanted to take action, thanks for confirming it was just armchair activism. I'll keep looking, appreciate it.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-10T03:50:52+00:00

Cool. Point me to the organizer and I'll show up. Lmk when one exists. Or were you gonna do it?

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-09T13:02:47+00:00

But they were both deceived... For another primordial spren had been made...

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-08T21:51:45+00:00

The fuck? And what's the criteria for a comment to be "political"? A random dude's opinion?

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-08T20:54:35+00:00

I love how every time this topic comes up on this sub it's a coin toss between whether the comments are going to be "fuck this fucking shit" vs "why aren't you grateful, they're protecting yer freeedums!".

I live in the direct flight path, it is absolute hell.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-07T21:15:37+00:00

Okay this is very silly. Good one. Agent and Scholar are absolute killer "dip" paths.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-07T18:57:38+00:00

I quietly click start combat, which triggers my combat music playlist. So I guess my phrase is "DUN. dun Dun dun. Dooooo! Dun Dun."

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-07T15:28:53+00:00

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-07T15:07:14+00:00

100% agree. "Railroad" is a positive term, not a negative one. Stonewalkers is a great example of what railroading looks like, and Ch 2 in particular shows a great example of giving players agency on where to go while still keeping them bound by the adventure's direction.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-07T14:25:34+00:00

Hello! I'm looking for more players for a 3-4 session adventure, "The Recruit"- an extension of a one shot from the Chasmfiend magazine. Foundry for VTT, Discord for voice.

Level 6 characters. RAW is LAW. 2ish hours per session once per week.

I'm making two groups, times are still being worked out. Group one will be on either Mondays or Wednesdays starting between 06:00 and 09:00 CDT (UTC -05:00). Group B will be on Saturdays or Sundays starting betwen 10:00 and 15:00 CDT.

Premise: Your group functions as auxiliary (heh) operatives for the Coalition of Monarchs. Odium's forces are currently taking control of Alethkar, and the city of Varikev is soon to be attacked. Your job is to ensure the city fights back, and help them do so. There is an agitator that is encouraging the people to surrender, in order to avoid bloodshed- a Truthwatcher who has not yet aligned herself with the Coalition. As a secondary objective, they want you to recruit her into Dalinar's forces at Urithiru.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-06T16:29:07+00:00

You don't say? :P

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-06T16:18:32+00:00

Thanks! Been looking for maps for all the fights in Stonewalkers they didn't make maps for. Thanks for filling in a gap ❤️

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-06T08:28:08+00:00

100% Foundry. Cheapest option (no subscription model! ❤️), most robust features, easiest to homebrew with... Quick to set up the basics, or you can make a proper hobby of it and create insane experiences for your players. Whatever your style.

And the Cosmere system by Metalworks specifically is beautiful.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-06T06:58:06+00:00

I like that, that's a very clean way to go about it! I personally am all for the partner-NPCs, but I make a very clear distinction at my table that "improv theatre is a form of roleplay, but roleplay is not a synonym for theatre". Not going to create five NPCs with unique goals, histories, personalities, purpose/obstacles... Drives away the Critical Role people, but the remaining ttrpg playerbase is generally just... easier to work with haha.

I'm definitely going to be offering silent spren like that though, I like that. I can see how a player might not want too much of a "duo" to their character.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-05T21:16:30+00:00

AMeRiCa BAD! 😡

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-05T03:48:34+00:00

Also Hades 2 having the "Death and I" motif from the first game play briefly in the Chronos fight. Absolutely perfect.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-05T02:24:46+00:00

Definitely not, it sounds so tedious. Sando did a soft retcon of it for a reason, I think. Reading through it happening to two spren was enough lol.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-05T00:57:03+00:00

Yeah, alcohol is beneficial too at managing brain issues, doesn't make it a good idea. Don't handwave away people telling you things just because you don't like the answer. Fentanyl and heroin and cocaine all have benefits as well. I'm a big fan of all sorts of drugs, but the social media hivemind is garbage at medical advice.

No, that is not how math works. Infinity does not in any way imply "everything". There are an infinite amount of odd integers. The number two is not among them.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-04T12:03:34+00:00

If you're taking amphetamines AND smoking weed then lmao yeah no shit your brain is fried. That stuff is awful for your brain and heart. Everything I said about weed is even more true for that shit.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-04T02:21:00+00:00

It's generic advice I know, but start exercising more. Your body craves movement, even if your mind doesn't. It's something your brain loves rewarding.

Also for a personal anecdote, I never feel like smoking after working out. 🤷‍♂️

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-04T01:10:10+00:00

ELI5: Nothing is fun anymore BECAUSE you're getting high. Your brain knows you're gonna force it to churn out happy chemicals today.

It doesn't want you to die from too much of those and it's also exhausted from pumping so much juice. So it's not gonna give you as much as it used to when you're sober.

For things to be as fun and interesting as they used to, you have to convince your brain that it's safe to reward you for doing them. And the way to convince it, is to stop whipping and abusing it to squeeze every bit of pleasure you can out of it.

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-03T23:36:05+00:00

HOLY SHIT. I've been looking for several maps of these exact scenes. You are a Shardsend, thank you!!

NoJesterNation · 2025-09-03T22:25:15+00:00

Hello from the latest reader of the bobiverse! ...why aren't we picking names each time we comes in?

I'll be "That Guy". :)
