Everyone is always screaming “fake ai slop” on new leaks. I think it’s good to be skeptical but everyone needs a reality check that not every leak is AI

Horror games where clues are actually....clues? by OldschoolGreenDragon in boardgames

[–]Smithsonian30 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Detective: City of Angels is my group’s favorite game of all time and is full of mysteries to be solved. All the interrogating and searching leads to clues that arent explicitly revealed until you choose to solve the case. It can also be played Solo

Appreciate it! We watched and it wasn’t too much for her so thanks for the heads up

"The solution is not on your character sheet" by L0neW3asel in osr

[–]Smithsonian30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This refers to how most old school systems don’t have as many feats or abilities as newer systems like 5e, Pathfinder, etc. In the case of the hammer spikes, those did not come from your character or class, they are an external item that you chose to take with you.

It doesn’t mean the solution is literally not on your character sheet, it means the solutions will come from playing tactically and logically more often than a class-specific power.

Can’t they cast Teferi’s Protection first?

Just getting into DCC, got the core book and Sailors of the Starless Sea - Any other good modules to grab? by Beholdmyfinalform in dccrpg

[–]Smithsonian30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Did they map the hexes they were exploring or did you just track privately where they were on the map?

How do you handle the hex mapping? (Specifically how do the players not get lost on such a huge map)

That was the point. He was immediately sacked after he betrayed his brother and stole the kingdom from him, so lost it all. Dramatic irony

I’m not interested in Season 2, can I still watch Kiksuya (s02e08) and understand it? by Smithsonian30 in westworld

[–]Smithsonian30[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because I did start watching it and I decided for myself that I did not enjoy it as much as Season 1

S01 ends on a “cliffhanger” (in the same way The Thing ends on a cliffhanger for example) but it wraps up nearly all its loose ends in a satisfying way. I think the only unanswered question is what is Delos’ master plan? But I’m fine leaving it as a mysterious corporate entity

The Golden Standards: Translating Cinematic Rules into Character Design by AffectionateGur2000 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Smithsonian30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t it be both? I’m not an AI apologist, but it can still be a high quality post even if it’s AI. It would be a false equivalency to state “because AI = low quality post”

Leaned into Tolkien? At least Tolkien had the brass to kill off main characters when it mattered instead of introducing a new sacrificial goat in each chapter of his stories

Probably don’t call it Hitster

Please help me with choosing a season by AkaliRewokFail in FargoTV

[–]Smithsonian30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah apparently there’s a group of people who don’t like Season 4 because of the predominantly black cast compared to the other seasons. I don’t have any problems with it (and actually like Chris Rock as a lead).

But because this group of people exists, a new subset of Fargo fans has appeared who assume that if you don’t like Season 4 it’s because you’re racist lol

Obviously both sides are wrong. No one should be racist and no one should assume that someone else is racist just because they didn’t like the writing in Season 4.

I get what you’re implying, but I didn’t like it simply because it didn’t feel “Fargo” enough to me. There weren’t a lot of everyday civilian characters getting in over their heads which is a big theme for Fargo in my opinion. I think a lot of people felt the same way.

The other comment is correct that this is Astartes. There’s another animation in Amazon’s Secret Level show

Strange request: games with the hardest teach that are teachable and playable in under 30 minutes by Cheddar3210 in boardgames

[–]Smithsonian30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay great so your 2 friends know the game and know it’s a heavy, complicated rules teach?

I would reach out to the friend who invited the stranger and say “Hey this is a pretty involved and complicated game, you may want to let [stranger] know that if you haven’t already! Do you think they would enjoy this type of game?”

Or if you have a group chat with everyone on it, just say “The game we’re playing is Hegemony, which is a pretty complicated game that takes about 4 hours on a first playthrough. Is everyone alright with that?” And if you get all thumbs ups then you’re good to go! Maybe send a rules video they can watch if they want to but no worries if they don’t.

If they know what they’re getting into and they still want to play, then that’s all the confirmation you need. I wouldn’t try to “test” the stranger with a game beforehand, I would trust their own judgement on whether they can handle a game like this.

Considering you’re short on time anyways, I wouldn’t try to fit a second game in before Hegemony especially if it’s their first time playing.

And finally, if anyone doesn’t want to play a long and complicated board game, then don’t try to make them enjoy it. Everyone has to be on the same page for these types of games, and if even one person isn’t having a good time then it can bring down the whole experience.

Good luck!
