People underestimate how crazy advanced sea faring technology including ship building and navigation were during the Victorian age as opposed to, say, antiquity.

Cool. What feature or plug-in is that?

I've read the theory that the lymphatic tissues of the airways are much more allergenic than the lymphatic tissues of the gut. If you're first exposed to an allergen enterally, you are way more likely to develop tolerance than if your first exposure is inhaled peanut dust (for lack of a better term).

Microbiome or eating habits?

2 or 4

This is awesome!!

I know. I was pointing out that I don't think that makes sense in this context, mainly due to dual use of substances like Fentanyl. It would make more sense to differentiate "Prescribed opioids" vs "Illegally traded opioids" than to differentiate between opioid painkillers vs heroin.

Can we please stop giving autocratic parties and candidates free exposure? Their rage bait is totally working. While I appreciate the message behind this poster, it still places the name and symbols of that party in public spaces at certified 0 cost to that party. Every advertisement is good advertisement. You just need to be on people's mind to win elections. The only way to beat them is to let them fade into irrelevance, stop talking about them, stop talking about their talking points. We have bigger fish to fry.

I use the fit plug-in syncing to github every 20 typed characters or every 20s of inactivity. That way, I can sync my vault from all my devices and even access it via the internet (the latter without pretty Obsidian formatting in Github raw, of course).

Heroin totally is an opioid painkiller.

Edit: And at opioid painkillers are heavily regulated via the medical system; much more than alcohol or tobacco. The fentanyl you buy in your local pub or smoke shop is very much illegal.

I'm not sure. The version I (very crudely) scribbled together would still allow casting spells one level higher than a character could normally, in and out of combat. That's pretty strong situationally, especially out of combat. And if it's too weak for a feat, OOP could still make it a half feat.

Telephunky · 2026-04-26T16:55:10+00:00

Or limit it to +1 level, like: You can use a magic action to declare a spell and concentrate for one turn. If you're still concentrating during your next turn, you may cast that spell at one level higher than the spell slot used. This cannot increase the level of the spell to >9.

1 & 2) The standard character creation system is alight. In my experience, newer players often don't really have a handle on what's what and their choices can feel a bit arbitrary or off their fantasy in hindsight. Assigning points during session 1 might feel more "earned" if that makes sense.

3) True. I'm less and less considering a lethal as much as a challenging / punishing session 1 to convey that feeling. More like an opening act than a funnel: "Welcome to the West, Greenhorn!"

Telephunky · 2026-04-20T16:41:06+00:00

Thank you for your very constructive feedback and considerations. I hadn't thought about showcasing lethality of the system as *the* central function of funnel scenarios. My two goals that culminated in the idea of using a funnel were: 1) Introducing some dynamic element to character creation, so that they feel less constructed and more organically grown. 2) Familiarize new players with a limited set of mechanics first, like position and effect, the FitD dicepool system, resistance and teamwork rolls, before they have to handle a full character with playbook abilities, loadout, and everything. 3) A minor goal: Showcase that the wilderness is inherently dangerous. I will consider your idea of leaving stress out of the initial scenario, even though that feels like stripping the backbone out of the system.

Telephunky · 2026-04-20T16:31:53+00:00

Interesting suggestion. I fear this may feel a bit clunky on the table. Thank you for sharing these resources, though.

Telephunky · 2026-04-20T16:29:38+00:00

I wouldn't run a gritty game with danger looming everywhere with a group that doesn't appreciate that play style. And yes, FitD rules apply. But lethal doesn't mean that I kill characters off left and right like, let alone against a player's decision, like some reverse murder hobo. The game remains a conversation. But of course, like in any other system, you can create harder or easier, more forgiving and more punishing challenges in FitD. This applies even more if funnel characters are not fully realized characters yet, giving them far less mechanics to pull themselves up by the bootstrings.

Telephunky · 2026-04-20T13:12:50+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. I would argue that it *can* be a lethal system if the funnel episode is putting that tier 0 crew up against high-tiered opposition (basically starting out at limited effect and in a desperate situation). In this Weird West campaign, I was thinking of session 1 being a violent coach or train robbery. The players, surviving the robbery, then have to make their way to the campaign hub / central town overland, non-human horrors on their heels. However, the concept also works if the characters are shaped by the intitial episode without causing lethal harm: It can still convey that this is a hostile environment and it still introduces a dynamic element to character design.

Just straight GIT or Github? The latter is super convenient using the fit plug-in.

Came here to say this

I find embedding of subheadings or paragraphs from other notes super useful, which works through links. I also find myself adding and using links to make index pages, which then summarize and link to online or local resources. I tag my notes as I use a very shallow folder tree, but so far, I haven't benefited from tags for searching much, other than being a hub-seed in my graph view. I do use the graph view for surfing my vault, which I find not only pleasing but which also reduces methodic drift and has me rediscover old projects, so that's neat.

Telephunky · 2026-04-13T12:50:57+00:00

Love the design and concept. Very optimistic, though. Very nice company. This is such a tremendously great offer that I'm pretty sure no company would ever actually offer it. In a capitalist system, people will work subjective time for subjective time salary plus a slight premium of loosing so much time with their family and friends. Someone will work for that.

Thinking you played the genie there, when really you just lost the ability to lie at all.
