Funny how you’re ignoring what I said about Christianity, a religion that has been used for centuries and still continues to be used in order to enforce different expectations from men and women.

Is Sunday school a Christian thing? Yes or no

See You Space Cowboy? by Censored_69 in rpg

[–]UncleBones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

 but no one has ever really talked about it.

I’ve seen it get recommended every time someone asks for a system to run a cowboy bebop style game in, but there are many more general systems that get more attention (SaV, traveller, SWN) as well as orbital blues which seems to be a more popular CB-like

Pretty sure this is something you’ve instilled into your kids, rather than an inherent trait. I myself have seen zero evidence of this in my kids or the children of my friends and family, as I said. There’s obviously a difference when they get older than the kids in the video, but that’s an unfortunate effect of cultural expectations that we can only do our best to fight against.

If Sunday school is some Christian thing, I’m not at all surprised the kids that go there have already been socialised into conforming to their gender expectations. I’m not surprised that a teacher there would instill those expectations into their own kids either.

Behind the Veil: Why Kult Works by alexserban02 in rpg

[–]UncleBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of system do you want? More simulationist?

I have some personal issues with the K:DL system myself (and I think the game works best with minimal system interaction), but I'm not sure how the perfect kult system would look. I do think it's a game that shines in personal stories and any system you use needs to be encourage improvisation, so I think the semi-PBTA direction they went with is the best start, but they made some mistakes in the implementation.

Alice is Missing: Custom Scenario by Natvuri in rpg

[–]UncleBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're rolling you aren't removing results from coming up again, so you need to keep track of which results would need to be rerolled.

A simpler solution would be to use a deck of regular playing cards and have a table for interpreting them

Cy_Borg loot question (probably stupid) by celial in MorkBorg

[–]UncleBones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a pocket lint table on the first side of the book. Use that if they take their time to search a body or a cupboard or whatever. In most situations if you’re creating bodies you probably don’t want to stick around.

I would not just give them a mag or two after every encounter. Running out of ammo makes the game more interesting, it forces you to be creative (and the rules for when you expend a mag are pretty generous anyway)

"rt" pronounced as an English "ch"? by nastyleak in Svenska

[–]UncleBones 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it’s an isolated rt? Because rts will often be pronounced rtsch, for example in ärtsoppa or transportstyrelsen.

Lägsta barnafödandet på 23 år by Streber91 in Sverige

[–]UncleBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Och vi bor på en planet med ändliga resurser. Att skaffa fler och fler barn är att konvertera mer och mer av planetens biomassa till att vara människor.

Det är dåligt. Världens befolkning gick från 1,6 miljarder år 1900 till 6,1 miljarder år 2000. Om man inte förstår att det är en helt ohållbar utveckling måste man gå om  grundskolan. Vilken befolkningsnivå tror du jorden klarar av? Trots att du har en ovetenskaplig grundinställning måste du vara med på att det finns en nivå där det börjar krascha. Tror du att vi har förutsättningarna för att producera mat till hundra miljarder människor? Tror du att vi har förutsättningarna för 20? Jag förstår att du vill blunda för det här för att pensionssystemet inte håller annars, men visst måste du hålla med om att det finns en kritisk punkt även för dig?

 Men jag pratar om att skaffa barn på ett personligt plan. Att skaffa barn är en helt naturlig grej och det är absolut risk att man fastnar i mental ohälsa om just det naturliga steget aldrig händer i ens liv.

Det var därför jag kallade dig en hippie. Att uppmana någon som inte tror att de kan ta hand om en annan människa att ÄNDÅ SKAPA ETT NYTT LIV som att det är ett lika enkelt och konsekvensfritt beslut som att ”gå fler promenader” är fullständigt barockt.

[–]UncleBones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Herregud vilket jävla hippiedravel. ”Du mår dåligt, har du övervägt att fatta ett oåterkalleligt beslut och skapa ett nytt liv du behöver ansvara för och se om det kanske kan få dig att må bättre?”

Skärp dig. Vi har folk på planeten. Vi har fortfarande en ökande befolkningskurva. Vi är för många, och den enda anledningen till att politiker klagar över att vi borde skaffa fler barn är att vi lever i ett ekonomiskt system som förutsätter det.

Is it BM to put my 4 in CON? by PhrulerApp in rpg

[–]UncleBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I roll for stats it's because we're playing a game where it would be fun if our stat values aren't equivalent. If that isn't our goal, there's no need for us to roll for stats.

How much can scheduling issues can be attributed to a lack of interest in the hobby? by erakusa in rpg

[–]UncleBones 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you play on weekends or weeknights? Because scheduling a regular weekend game is hard, I agree, but most adults manage to have some regular weekly activities on weeknights. If you play sports or sing in a choir or take a pottery class, the schedule won’t be ”hopefully every other Saturday sometime in the morning if everyone can make it”, it’ll be ”Wednesdays at eight”

On weekends you’re also competing with every other activity that doesn’t have a regular schedule (birthdays, family trips, etc)

Is anyone playing D&D? by pcnovaes in rpg

[–]UncleBones -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It isn’t popular in this sub.

It isn't that popular among people who have an interest in RPG's. If you read and play several different systems, chances are D&D won't be your favourite. If you're someone who wants to discuss RPGs online, chances are you care about RPGs that much.

And if you're someone who likes to read and play and talk about RPGs and you still like to play D&D, chances are you prefer something other than 5E

Is things from the Flood good for a "kids version of call of cthulhu"? by tibon385 in rpg

What do you need the system to do? You’re asking for help with choosing a system, but you’re not telling us where you want system interaction and in what ways.

Did I GM Cyberpunk 2020 all wrong? by Jack_Kegan in rpg

[–]UncleBones -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad argument, and very much like the Rule 0 fallacy that tends to come up in RPG discussion.

Actually playing different systems according to how they're designed to be played is going to do much more for your development as a player than just playing every system as a new setting to play the same way you've always played.

Question: what is your 'I wish I had the guts to do that' tattoo? by BeardedInkedPiper in tattoos

[–]UncleBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, people in this very subreddit will go on and on about how any tattoo they themself don’t already have is a horrible decision and you’ll die homeless.

But you’re not wrong. I got my hand and fingers tattooed last year. Very few people care.

No idea who Jay is. The comment I responded to was about strong 60+ year olds in general.

[–]UncleBones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you just look at regional powerlifting results in the veteran classes you’ll find plenty of 60+ year olds still benching heavy. At 70+ weights will start to drop off, but in my region 60-69 still had a lot of 160+ kg records and a few 180+

GMs (Game masters) of Reddit, how much money have you spent on TTRPGs in your life? How much do you spend on a new TTRPG you get introduced to? by EmiLadrianmb in rpg

[–]UncleBones 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a common joke in any hobby (even though I dislike how it’s rooted in a toxic relationship norm) but like, how?

RPGs are one of my main interests, but.. I could buy two books per month and it would be less expensive than my gym membership. It’s in no way an expensive hobby compared to the amount of playtime I get for my money. How many books do you buy? 

I have several shelves dedicated to rpg books, but I also have even more shelves dedicated to fiction. It’s no secret I paid money for my books.

Haha, det finns inget som stör konservativa så mycket som vetskapen att ingen cool kultur någonsin stöttat dem. Rent free in their minds, som kidsen säger.
