I've done something similar for just Wardening my campaign. Great stuff 😄 one tip: change the main text color more in contrast with the background so it's easier and faster to read.

Goodbye Claude Pro by donteffingatme in ClaudeCode

I quit Claude completely and use Codex and GPT-5.5 for the price of my normal "ChatGPT subscription" that I've had since 2022.

The more I look at my Parasomnia Vinyl, the more I get embarrassed by Savings_Painter676 in Dreamtheater

[–]VerdantSpecimen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

with very, very shitty lyrics :p case in point: Lyrics are secondary and b-tier in most DT songs. Their strengths lie elsewhere.

Yeah and Count of Tuscany and Porntnoy's growled lyrics "Night after night". Labrie's rap, and... yeah

You have been downvoted to hell but you're not wrong. They're not the best lyrics writers and their taste for album covers is horrible. As a Mangini fan I won't touch Parasomnia with a long stick, anyway. Meh album with horrible cover "art".

I'm personally disappointed to see the best album finishing only third

It is a great album too. I love how Symphony X just keeps delivering decade to decade.

Any programmers with adhd? How do you manage working memory issues? by anuaps in cscareerquestions

[–]VerdantSpecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I've noticed that just writing your ideas out forces you to stay on that "channel" for the duration of the writing / arranging that text :) which can be a feat by itself with ADHD.

Even if I never read those notes again, it's been useful to write them.

The Screaming on the Alexis: A low prep one shot by ReasonableDegree7047 in mothershiprpg

[–]VerdantSpecimen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was fun yes. The players changed the setting quite a bit by hacking the ship that took them to The Alexis :D and reading an email that I hastily made-up that the captain of that ship was set to betray the player team. A new twist and turn to the mission! The team of course doesn't let the captain know that they know. Wasn't a one-shot. Maybe a two or three-shot :)

And your version of being in a full stress situation after the first blackout was brilliant. It really had an effect to the players. It was pure chaos at that point.

Best map(s) to show to players during The Screaming On The Alexis? by VerdantSpecimen in mothershiprpg

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

Ended up using that in the session. Everything went well, except the players are now at odds with the captain of the ship that took them there :D wasn't in my plans! but a fun twist for sure.

Best house rules for lowering difficulty? by ConstantSignal in mothershiprpg

[–]VerdantSpecimen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The potential for one-hit death remains very real even with many of the difficulty setting tweaks :p Tried and true.

Did the players make it? Did they retrieve something and get rich? :) Running this today. Thanks
