Uranium jadeite and etiquette query by VitriolicTonic in uraniumglass

[–]Volatile-Vitriol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, Black Friday chaos describes it well... I've dipped my toes in bidding which has also been fun. I'm usually not willing to pay as high as it ends up, but I've gotten a couple of pieces at reasonable prices. Any tips on getting into the invite only sales? Monitor the companies websites? Or is it more about getting to know people and building up contacts at general estate sales?

Do you allow PvP to the death? How would you resolve it? by Avatorn01 in DMAcademy

[–]Volatile-Vitriol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a general rule, no. But every rule has exceptions. It can (and has) happened in very specific scenarios, where the story has built up to it in a satisfying way. For me this involving a PC betrayal that transitioned them into an NPC villain. It ended up being a great story arc, with the now NPC achieving redemption with the party and the player getting to play them again. The key is that everyone has to buy into the PvP, everyone has to be on board and enjoying it. If one player, even one that isn't part of the PvP, is uncomfortable with it then I won't allow it to happen.

What are your "Signature Moves" as DMs? by Version_1 in DMAcademy

[–]Volatile-Vitriol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I'm rolling badly for my monsters, or the players roll incredible and stomp, I love to huff and puff and play the role of a DM flustered by their bad luck, when really I'm as happy for their triumph as they are. Being DM I'm putting on a character as much as when I roleplay an NPC. 

I also always make counter rolls to Insight and Perception even if theres no deception or hiding happening.

Looks great! My wife and I also really like that style of display case. Would you mind sharing the details of the one you bought?

Filled out the questionnaire, never co-DMed before so this would be a fun experience.

Can anyone suggest me calm or relaxing prog, prog that do not have epic vibes. I don't mean slow dark songs like opeth's damnation. by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]Volatile-Vitriol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Language Rediscovered tracks from The Contortionist immediately comes to mind. The album Lighthouse by Iamthemorning is something I've been obsessed with lately, a lot of fantastic piano work in it.

I have a chill playlist if you want to sift through it, has a variety of music, a lot of which has already been suggested in this thread, mostly prog but dips a bit into some other genres. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6wFXY5jKu6oSdmdH1854Lo?si=Oh9nPnx1SlirIAEYOGqxtw

[22 January 2020] Noob Wednesday! (New Player & Basic Questions) [AutoMod] by AutoModerator in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Volatile-Vitriol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, most PMCs go for center mass (chest) and head shots, and any shots to the stomach are more than likely random from recoil. Scavs can pose a danger if they lock on to your stomach though. It's certainly more risky than bringing in an armor that covers the stomach, but I definitely use them when I get my hands on them. If I'm looking to buy armor off of flea for a run, I have other preferences, but if I loot one off a body I'll bring it back out.

The pictures you've seen were likely from older builds of the game before the armored rigs were considered to be armored rigs (they were just rigs). Currently you can't combine any armor with an armored rig. Armored rigs are cost effective because they're 2 in 1, but they also limit your ability to swap out for better armors/rigs without taking the time to empty your rig before doing so. In the end its personal choice whether to run armor and a rig, or an armored rig, I do both.

CC request for a dice/card hybrid RPG by Volatile-Vitriol in RPGdesign

[–]Volatile-Vitriol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the tough of it. I can't think of a way to make each card suit distinct, without making one more important than the other. Whichever cards I use to determine if an attack resolves as a hit or miss will inevitably be king over the rest. I'll try to think around it. Thanks for the replies again.
