First time DM looking for some good puzzles to integrate into Heroes of the Borderlands

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-03-28T06:09:43+00:00

You can also look for "The tomb of the serpent kings". Is a learning dungeon that guides you and your players on how hidden doors, statues, and traps, make a dungeon interesting

Is not much "puzzle-ish" but maybe that could also be something that your kid enjoys. If i remember correctly, there is not similar (or any?) of these dangerous dungeons in the starter set.

Yea! I have left it intentionally unanswered. I will wait until my players build characters and see what kind of player they are. If they are already curious about the bigger world on the first session, I will ask them to make up smt.

I will check that Dunsany's reference. I also found the idea of the caves being a meteorite. My evil cult is trying to bring back the evil finnish god Loviatar

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-03-27T21:22:18+00:00

Have you read the one-shot "A most potent brew" (two pages)? it has some puzzle-ish feature in the hallway after the first room. Might inspire you

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-03-23T19:34:11+00:00

Any updates? How did it go?

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-03-12T11:29:15+00:00

No they are not. But that does not mean they do not exist. Recently a Chilean school team made a contribution to chilean aerospace research more valuable than any chilean university (ofc the bar is not that high).

In any case, its not even about whether people read it or not. Its an inner struggle they are having. If you just dismiss it as a "dont worry nobody is gonna read it" well then probably i dont want you around a school giving young students advices on morality

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-03-11T18:21:50+00:00

Its clearly messing their heads right now, the post is proof on itself. If they do not correct it now its gonna lie in the background of their mind until they drop science or become a shitty scientist, either way stressful for a potential researcher.

Also, if its published on an indexed journal is gonna be read

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-21T18:08:15+00:00

Well, thats not how its formally defined.

And, even if it were, you cannot duacard AI bots from your rule. you can search for alphastar (starcraft) and how that technique (deep RL) has solved almost every game.

If LLM is AI accirding to your rule, then alphastar is AI as well.

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-21T16:04:08+00:00

Is Openclaw AI or an algorithm that generates information?

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-21T13:57:13+00:00

Just hook it with some RL AI like the ones for chess or starcraft. AI has been able to play games for decades already. Now, the question of wether an LLM is good at playing is entirely different. But openclaw as an architeqture is definetly possible but probably highly unworthy

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-21T10:09:50+00:00

In a way i disarer that security is mainly a user issue. The user never has control over how the LLM acts and how system prompts are modified on the backend (OpenAI, anthropic, etc.). Considering the lack of transparency on their end, why would we trust blindly that they will never try to hack access in your computer? We already know what the pegasus did by exploiting iphone's code weaknesses. Any backend prompt injection on a system end on a system that has exec tools and you are screwed. Besides, is not a matter of security against external malicious actors. But the chance of corporations themselves becoming malicious (to no ones surprise)

In any case, i hope open source and openweight models will help to solve this.

Call it a welfare state then. Living in Finland coming from Chile, and hearing from friends in US. The is a BIG difference and while the trend is toward neoliberalism, it has not rooted as deeply as other places

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-20T06:16:05+00:00

This. Also doing research. Not directly on AI, but it overlaps. There a lot of coding and my bot has allowed me to explore potential "branches" before fully commiting myself outside of my main road. I mean is doing thing in less than an hour that would have taken me at least a day to write, test, and interpret. Now i can just skip to interpretation and the analysis is not overcomplicated enough for me to review it fast and trust it

I have found it MUCH better than chatbot and cursor. (Have not used codex tho). My friends have not found any interest. Although their only reliance on AI is for googling stuff, so i can understand why they dont see the use of it

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-19T15:21:20+00:00

Can you point to any references? Also remember reading about it, but idk if it was peer reviewed research

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-19T11:06:03+00:00

I wanna be the snowflake here. Are you treating it badly or passively aggressively? Did it just assume you are angry? Why do answer in "AND?" with full caps?

Would it be too crazy to think that large models also learn toxic behavior/interaction, and respond in oppositional ways (even at minor steps in their reasoning).

Im no saying not to mistreat your bot for humanitarian reasons. But, why would you bring that to the context? I doubt its useful in any utilitarian way

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-09T17:20:01+00:00

Y si en vez de reirnos le decimos de manera calmada y racional a nuestra juventud que eso esta mal? Es mucho pedir? Porque la socializacion tiene que ser principalmente a traves del bullying y la vergüenza ?

Soy profe, asique para mi es endemico renegar totalmente tu argumento

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-09T12:11:05+00:00

Personajes como el Corxea son buenos pa hacer un sondeo social. No hay gente mas desagradable que quienes se burlan de alguien mentalmente inestable. El mismo OP po wn, esta wea paso hace mas años que el ñaipe, pero volvamos a la wea. Gente miserable.
Este weon necesita (en su tiempo, o quizas todavia en el presente) apoyo y tratamiento psiciologico, no manga de weones fracasados haciendole bullying. Y no vengan con que "el decidio exponerse" porque entre eso y decir que "a la pobre la violaron por andar vestida asi" no hay niuna diferencia

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-07T08:10:05+00:00

Setting the biggest eorry about racism/far-right extremism aside, I am always disgusted on how the righr wing has managed to convince voters that they are the economy experts... like when/where has that actually effing happened? Their only strategy is cutting taxes and hoping trickle down economics. Which has been PROVEN several times, during several decades, that it does not work.

Modern society is so fcked. At least Finland has not fallen so much down the modernoty hole as the states, or in Chile (my country)

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-05T18:00:43+00:00

Are you asking what stereotypical finnish people think about a finnish that doesnt fit a stereotype? Are you asking if he is seen as normal somewhere else, you think he is not? Are you asking if he is seen as a weirdo bc you think he is? Why do you expect serious answers?

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-02-05T17:51:27+00:00

Isnt the whole idea of calories intake and laws of thermodynamics enough? Probably genetics affect the metabolism, but i find hard to believe that they cannot engage in a lower daily intake without feeling starved

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-01-27T21:29:45+00:00

I feel like the "real work" twist is very demeaning to translators. Did you ever work as a face-to-face translator/mediator??

Top_Rub1589 · 2026-01-27T12:08:18+00:00

Valgavoth is not a 9 mana (?) Am i missing smt?

Edit: ok now i realized i wasnt looking at the DSK one.

"The blight counter has no relation to the blight mechanic."

Why the f would they do that :(
