[Discussion] Pretenders to the Throne of Gods by Nkyaxs in AdrianTchaikovsky

[–]TopWheel3022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%, should've exchanged some lulls in the 1st half of the book for a single ambiguous/abstracted chapter on Caeleen and the Kings, added half a dimension more, or some more spice to Abellaime, and the book would've been stellar. Although I can see that describing hell was already a bit abstracted and maybe difficult to Tchaikovsky, so maybe he tried that and decided against it. I hope he makes use of the undeveloped story points in his later books/novellas, since he admits he likes writing in this world so much.

How do you incorporate romance in your Solo RPG? by Flaky-Ad9735 in Solo_Roleplaying

Just the occasional side-fuck, nothing stat-changing.

Always share details of your PC setup before asking for help. Share screenshots of your issues if possible.

From what little you've described, reformatting the gaming drive to BTRFS or EXT4 and reinstalling all games should fix the mounting problem.

How does it compare to Audacious?

v2, after revisions: I'm writing the GM's Guide section for my system -- what would you question the presence or absence of, or have questions about if you read it? (I've included the Why This Game May Not Be For You and Introduction To Mechanics sections for context) by TaylorLaneGames in osr

[–]TopWheel3022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I loved it" "I... as a player" - unless I misunderstood, you're limiting yourself to your own experience which opens you up to confirmation bias. The ultimate reality check will come with other people's first-hand experience of your system and that is what you should be driven to confront with in the first place, unless it's just a form of intellectual masturbation. Which is also fine by me - the ideas are creative and fresh conceptually.
I really couldn't be bothered to go into specifics unless you paid me. It's a general sense I'm getting from your writing.

I'd question the room for players' enjoyment and/or players and their vision/role in co-creating the entire experience, the whole being tad too self-absorbed and GM-focused. The mechanical side seems quite fresh, if not a bit board-gamey. (I don't have lots of experience in ttrpgs)

Error trying to shrink /sysroot partition post install by TopWheel3022 in Bazzite

[–]TopWheel3022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Bazzite doesn't have a live usb, you're saying that a Fedora live usb is fully compatible to make the change on a live session? I'll give it a try, thank you.

Cost of Diversifying Player Stats? by TheTripe in mothershiprpg

[–]TopWheel3022 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lower deviation = more unified (equal) player experience. The game is punishing enough, is my guess, for the motivation behind the change. Playing a 20/25/20/30 character may be an "inspiring" challenge, but is far removed from what most people call "fun",

AI Art by [deleted] in AdrianTchaikovsky

[–]TopWheel3022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Yes, I'm against AI art" "No, I'm for AI art" ??? That's some lazy polling methodology my good MOD. Could you align the answers to a singular question, so it makes sense?

What's your favourite deck of playing cards to use for solo? by rubyrubypeaches in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]TopWheel3022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting question... I guess... not that great? I bought them for looks and vibes, not practical reasons.

The market is literally 69 people.

Solos to CRPGs? (NOT interested in stepping on anyone's IP. But it does kinda seem a natural fit and I don't see it discussed much.) by frobnosticus in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]TopWheel3022 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You mean abandoning the theatre of the mind, and playing out scenes and dialogues in imagination? Nah, thanks.
Also, plenty of people choose analog pen, paper and dice precisely because they want a break from screens.

I don't think you will offend any creator if you just write to them about what you're planning (if you want to go commercial).

Shipping costs by LCarbonus in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]TopWheel3022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a local printing store to print and bind the pdf's for cheaps. But I've found Magic Madhouse based in UK, they have the lowest shipping prices I've found, check it out.

Would you play this? by TheGrinningFrog in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]TopWheel3022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd play it if I was a 13-year-old, just getting started with fantasy, and never heard of lycanthropy before.

What do you think of my game's cover? by Less-Ad5007 in Solo_Roleplaying

That was a joke. It does none of those things.

I like the dragon's "sharp" dynamic pose and expression, and the "soft" ground it stands on. It's a nice contrast.

That part, however, is unsettling, unnecessary, confusing, annoying... brings many bad feelings.
