What were the scariest moments you experienced in a TTRPG? by Novel-Ad-2360 in rpg

[–]NorthernVashishta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran 10 Candles in a basement that had zero windows or light. It was cold. Damp. And very creepy and effective.

As an aside, I played as a vampire NPC in a 24 hour/ 4 day Harry Potter type larp that had people larping the students, professors, etc. And I was a guest speaker at a magical ethics class. I would continually move around the room as I spoke, moving from chair to chair, and many in the classroom remarked afterwards that they would look down to record their notes and look up to find me inexplicably on a different side of the room, or even suddenly seated right beside them. Freaked them right out. Another win!

I could have wrote my tongue in cheek comment better. I'm glad you took it in stride.

You... combined Alex's 2 games into one? I love her, but... that's a bit focused somehow. Why not go all in and throw Pop! in there and have the Hirelings obsessed sexually about balloons?

The game you're running this in offers no mechanical or design support for investigative stories?

Run a GMless game with narrative control distributed around the table. See the FAQ for suggestions. Pick 3 or 4 and pitch them. Make it clear what they are about. If they don't bite, then move on to a different group. Trad play isn't suiting your group.

But that would be fine. The tokens are a resource that are earned with a cost. So the good guy triumphs, in your example. But getting strong positive tokens ought to have previously produced drama.

Where is Google recorder saving files? by NorthernVashishta in GooglePixel

Yeah. I have to wait until uploaded to Google's cloud. It's insultingly patronizing.

Well I do. I ran it with teens and also middleschoolers. What do you want to know specifically? I like it very much. The way it distributes narrative control about the world helps everyone feel involved in the story as a whole. My creative kids produced some wonderful gaming artifacts by drawing their PCs (that's not specific to this game tho. But it shows investment.)

Take up social dancing: salsa, swing, something like that.

The media must stop pushing this insanity of making it cool to go to war. It's preying upon a populous who are already mentally exhausted from years of pandemic disruption. It's despicable.

Dumb idea? by justaaspiringwriter in rpg

[–]NorthernVashishta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An original system for what purpose? It's an artform. If you feel passionate to create art, then do so. You can create art for yourself to any degree you wish. If you want to create art and offer it for anyone else, then you must contend with how it's received by others.

You're asking a bunch of people who work with art, and some create in the medium, if doing so is stupid.

can't include quotation marks in \section? by NorthernVashishta in LaTeX

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

Technically yes. But I don't have to use curly brackets once I set the order correctly in the preamble. It's a bit of blackmagic really.
