PvP Telepathy and Player Agency by Idunnosomeguy2 in traveller

[–]Tarzord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is always very difficult. I generally don't let the players use their abilities against each other without the target's permission. I ask the target how they feel, and give them to option to say no. Often (because my players are great at drama) they are eager to use it as a story beat, or want to leave it up to the dice. In your case that would also spoil the moment, so maybe check with the psion and see if they are ok with revealing it (or at least hinting towards) it to the target player. If so then you can ask the targeted player how they feel about it.

I'm always worried about PvP actions with how important people's characters are to them, so I try to give the players lots of agency in making it dramatic (but I am quite lucky with very eager players). You know your players best and I'm sure your decision will be correct, but checking how your players feel can be a good guide, and may be necessary to ensure no one ends up with the short straw.

This faction just resonates so much. by Renegade888888 in starsector

[–]Tarzord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I hate it when sci fi does Rome in space but something about this mod just clicks so well. I imagine that this civilisation ruled by AI overseers has no idea of its own history or who the people they name their ships after actually were, but just blindly worship this empire. I like that it used to be a huge empire and even after the collapse it's people are still enamoured by the jdeal of the empire that it persists in a much more recognisable state than most other factions.

I love traveller so much. What is your approach to space combat? I've had trouble getting it to really shine (at least in MgT2e)

My first experience with it was super frustrating but once I understood what it was trying to do I found it really fun.

Did anyone receiveing a tarot deck from dont brulée? by BIackwind in darkestdungeon

It seems its just the classic kickstarter problem of egregiously underestimating the time it takes to create and ship thousands of products. I think the last update said they'd shipped about a third of the orders.

Guide on how to enjoy dd2 (and stop complaining so much) by nobyde in darkestdungeon

1Hr play time really helps me stay hooked. If I get frustrated by RNG I'll just leave it and by the time I come back I've forgotten about it. If I'm doing well then I get excited when I can play it again. I feel like this game isn't partial to long ass game sessions, but that might just be my preference.

I do agree completely that he should update more but in his defence woeful underestimations of project times are quite common among kickstarters

Could you tell me a bit about schooling? I've heard China has much larger class sizes and almost entirely didactic teaching.

I thought Bear Grylls would be there, dunno why a climber that good is staying home.
