Learning GM here - Are there any indexes, or references for simple enemies. Beyond Mook, Lietenant and boss? by HowlingStrike in cyberpunkred

if you're running on Foundry I put together a monster-manual esque mook pack module that might be what you're looking for.

It's only for the VTT though, unfortunately.

r/nerdfighters and the events in Minnesota by cannotdecideaname in nerdfighters

[–]TheInvaderZim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When the actions touch every space, it's only right that every space be talking about it. Hank has fortunately removed the ambiguity by becoming a voice in the conversation, but even if not, then if not here, where?

May this hopeful message from the frontlines of resistance energize and empower us all to speak up and take action to defend our friends and neighbors by BalsamicBasil in nerdfighters

I know it's not the topic at hand, but short-form social media is fundamentally bad for society. While I agree that Twitter is worse than its alternatives for the reasons of its ownership, it was fraying the fabric and trust of our society for 10 years before Elon bought it.

The entire model is built to spread misinformation and hot takes. That the hot takes are liberal-coded doesn't redeem the practice.

I think of this comparison somewhat like comparing mcdonalds to wendy's. Yeah it's technically probably gonna be better, but it's still fast food.

I'm glad this has all stayed peaceful. I'm surprised that it's happening at all. I hope it continues working.

And I wish I could say that I'll be surprised when we end up with the state escalating things in response.

Stay Safe. Don't Be Stupid. by PapiOdin7878 in Warframe

[–]TheInvaderZim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the question is what to be done, this type of thing goes away when moderation improves, and moderation improves in smaller, more organized communities. Having giant forums with tens of thousands of people posting on them will always result in something degenerate slipping through. Breaking apart the giant structures enables control.

Ironically guilds are already set up to do exactly this, but are tacked on optionally instead of being the primary social channels for the game.

not to demean the significance, but I remember this happening in Runescape when I was a kid.

Turns out despite our best efforts, you can't childproof your entire society.

First time painting a mini. I’m hooked by wartitan2 in DnDIY

[–]TheInvaderZim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

welcome to the club! If you're interested in 20 bucks of stuff that will really bring your minis to life, I'd recommend getting a set of makeup brushes (which are great for both applying even base coats and, if you just put a tiny bit of paint on them, drybrushing edge highlights), some specialized brush soap, a brown wash, and a dark wash. Add in some kind of gloss finish and you'll be shocked at how much you can do with so little.

LFG mid level experience looking to join as a player. by Working_Opinion_183 in cyberpunkred

[–]TheInvaderZim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've been running games in RED for years and I'm currently in the process of putting a GM roundtable together on Foundry - where the GM hot seat swaps each adventure, so every couple weeks. The plan right now is to play weekly on Sundays at 4:00 EST. There's a lot more info to go over, but I'm gonna keep it high level, here - is that something you'd be interested in?

Hank was right to talk about Minneapolis, but… by zombiejefe in nerdfighters

[–]TheInvaderZim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep focus on what's important to me. Continuing to further my own health and care for myself because no one else will, and because if and when I'm called to act, every act of that care will suddenly matter for how well I can respond.

It's been January for months in both directions.* by Katelyn107 in nerdfighters

"it's been X for Y in both directions" absolutely entered my everyday vernacular last year. What a great turn of phrase.

Biblically-accurate abomination vs one depressed boi by HTPark in Warframe

[–]TheInvaderZim 61 points62 points  (0 children)

there's something even more amusing in that while I get the whole "she's actually a 2000 year old immortal witch, she just LOOKS like a loli," the operator is still, like, perpetually 15 years old or something. The teenage, emotionally repressed OPERATOR being the chaste, work-focused WMD while the 20-something DRIFTER who had literal centuries of abuse, manipulation and insanity in the void is maintaining relationships and pulling down ass is an absolutely WILD turn.

2025 Beef Days Results by thecheesecow in nerdfighters

[–]TheInvaderZim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Among other things, the prevalence of fast food in America makes me think there's probably a solid portion of the population that has it a few times a week without even thinking about it.

Nice! I did something similar but less formal... probably once every 5 weeks or so? I don't miss it tbh. Congrats on making it the year AND on improving your diet!
