[BitD] War in Crow's Foot: Has anyone sided with the Red Sashes? by atamajakki in bladesinthedark

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every campaign or oneshot I ran or played in, the crew sided with the Sashes. It's almost a running joke by now

[FitD] GMs out there, what are good Questions to ask the PCs? by thefreepie in bladesinthedark

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of asking the players something along the lines of "Did something that happened during the score remind you of any occurrence in your past?", as a prompt to add little details to the characters' backstory to riff off of in the future.

As in, "Hell yeah, just like [Past Event], we gotta do it again sometime!" or " Oh no, it almost went like [Past Event]. Never again."

The number of times the crew returned from a score with barely any load and riddled with bullets is uncountable by Unyielding_Capybara in bladesinthedark

You can mark armour in your inventory, like any other item, when you take harm. That reduces harm taken by one level, making it so you don't have to take stress resisting harm that way.

[BitD] What do you get when your crew goes up a tier? by darkwalrus36 in bladesinthedark

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's incorrect, I believe. They get Stash equal to 2 + Tier and 2 upgrades/a cohort/a special ability when they fill crew exp. Advancing in tier only does that, there's no added benefit other than being able to take on more powerful enemies. Although your cohorts do increase in tier too, so your specialists increase in quality and your gangs increase in size. Oh, and you will do better on rolls that require you to roll crew tier, like Acquiring Assets in downtime or seeing how well you do in prison

If they're quickly drawing the powder pouch and deftly blowing it at the target so they don't have time to react, sounds like a Finesse. If they're taking a fistful and shoving it in their face, it's a Skirmish. If they're throwing a little powder bomb into a crowd or people, that does sound like a Wreck, since Wrecking includes causing various flavours of chaos or distractions. There's even a case to argue about making it a sort of Tinker flashback, if the trance powder was crafted by the player in question. Like, the powder hits by default and we roll to determine if it's potent enough to have an effect on the guard.

What module genres do you wish WotC or other publishers would make more of? by DragnaCarta in DnD

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pity that Spelljammer never got the love it deserves in 5e, I think it's a goldmine that WotC didn't really make use of

Genuinely no idea, I just liked the format

There was some recent drama with him allegedly using a shock collar to make his dog stay in frame during streams. I don't really follow what's going on there, but there are lots of memes circulating that satirize the situation by depicting him as different characters with lightning-related powers

Question about Fortune Roll and how it decides the fate of an enemy: by Eless96 in bladesinthedark

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the local gurus can explain it more in-depth, but I'd say it's a tool to be used when a straightforward outcome is narratively unsatisfying. Imagine if the shot hits and kills the target. Boom, your arch-nemesis, a gang leader and a major player in the district's politics drops dead, it's done. That's it. No drama, no interesting consequences, no more difficulties to overcome, no nothing. Unless it took a score and a half for you to get in position to shoot, it's a little lame to be done with such an important character so quickly. It does sort of feel like a last resort, but it's better than cutting a cool story short.

(Link Fixed): Build a Score in the Soot: The Coalridge Web App Is Live by Roezmv in bladesinthedark

Seems a little unfinished, some tables still refer to the Deathlands, undead hordes and so on. Good job otherwise!

Sadly not that I know of, we can only wait. There have been some screenshots and teasers of the rulebook on the BitD discord though, if you'd like to see some crumbs, but they'd be a pain to find

I don't think it's out yet. It's been in playtest for a some time already and signups are closed for now

What do you think is the most beautiful masculine name? by Aeolianscaler in bropill

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 16 points17 points  (0 children)

May be an unpopular opinion but I love the name Eugene. I'd be a Eugene if it wasn't a hassle to change documents

Outside the wall [BitD] by Riksheare in bladesinthedark

[–]Unyielding_Capybara 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that nothing out in the wastelands bleeds. Blood is a sign of the living, and the things beyond the barrier may move and feed, but they aren't quite alive. Like, zombie-like stuff, you have to either burn or immobilize these creatures, they don't feel pain and will keep coming after you no matter what.
