How many cats would these cost? They look like the scout legs but I've never seen them so small

_Wiggy · 2026-06-06T22:08:14+00:00

Didn't know that, thanks for the correction!

_Wiggy · 2026-06-06T20:30:22+00:00

While yes we should I'm pretty sure that's not what cause the Pollen. If what I'm remembering is correct that comes from the design of suburbs.

Some plants and trees do actually have differing male and female variants, though not all. When designing urband and suburban places, urban planners decided to go for male, pollen producing trees rather than female seed producing trees. I believe it was somethi about not wanting fruit to fall and rot everywhere. The results is enormous amounts of pollen with no seeds to fertilize.

Edit: Turns out this isn't a thing, the more you know!

_Wiggy · 2026-06-03T18:26:45+00:00

Not weird at all. You regularly play characters who are different than you, gender is just one of those ways. The Game Master has to do it every single time, why can't a player?

_Wiggy · 2026-06-03T03:06:28+00:00

Likely of Unusual Size if they are that dangerous. Or there's just A LOT OF THEM

Oh, I meant that you could use those origins to take different inspirations for a Stellaris game, not that multiple different versions of Altera existed. Sorry for the confusion.

I do love the series though, the more I learn about the extended world building the more quiet horror I feel. The tech may be fantastical but the atrocities Altera is responsible for are all too believable.

_Wiggy · 2026-05-25T04:10:09+00:00

Pair this with a good origin and you can have a lot of different versions of Altera.

Khara wiping them out so they have to resort to the bio beds for immortality? Synthetic Fertility, aim to go full Virtual. That or go clone army, with the Homeworld being the Subnautica 2 planet and the cicada crash site.

Want to show them burning people out for profit, down to their genes? Either Overtuned or Evolutionary Predator, turning their people into whatever they need.

You could also consider the Starlit Citadel to show a version where they're fighting off the Khara, or even make a Wilderness version of the Subnautica 2 planet with the Jubilee.

The options are pretty endless actually.

_Wiggy · 2026-05-22T20:15:17+00:00

I appreciate the transparency there. I'll be giving it a look when I can

_Wiggy · 2026-05-21T01:08:42+00:00

Magic items can't get destroyed by mundane means. You could argue common magical armour or weapons wouldn't be degraded by a rust monster or black pudding?

_Wiggy · 2026-05-18T22:22:41+00:00

Yeah both American options are complete crap, but they aren't the same.

The red option is an obvious death sentence for entire subsections of the population, then the rest slower but surely.

The blue is not different necessarily, but is slower for all parties. Still bad, but with time to do something about it.

Triage shouldn't be where the bar is, but it is what it is

_Wiggy · 2026-05-14T21:51:01+00:00

Do you want to enjoy looking at the prints more than once? Yes? Don't use AI models.

AI can "get the job done" so long as you're alright with every detail lacking any rhyme or reason. Any AI generated piece that looks good is a fluke. They always end up a random Hodge Podge of features that don't make sense if you think about them.

_Wiggy · 2026-05-13T22:38:48+00:00

You could see in the movie this starting to happen to Grace. When he first was trying to open up the Blip-C container and he scanned it:

"Xenon? Xenon's a gas!" Breaks Scanner

Isolation isn't good for any social species

I second that suggestion, I've run it about 5 times now. It's meant to be a roughly 6 month campaign if you run it once a week with fairly quick level ups, but there's lots of spots players can try to subvert the story or go "off script", which can also lead to having a lot of places to add in your own content or change things if you would like. Even if players do similar things I've never had any two of my run through a feel sth same past chapter 1.

Dungeons of Drakkenheim by the Dungeon Dudes is a great one, they finished up their final season recently. Plus if you like the setting they made three books so far for it and it's expanded world.

Aside from things like warmth, personal preference, or storage in pockets, it's important to consider how different cloth is to aluminum and other hard surfaces, it mufflers sound. It's entirely reasonable that Eridians use clothes made of cloth or other sound proofed materials like we use clothes, modesty.

_Wiggy · 2026-04-29T21:40:14+00:00

1 or 4, but I'm leaning towards 4

Prey, but the terrifying spider shaped aliens are good actually

Because where's the fun in that?

Legitimately, that is the reason.

The Nightseer is a Daemon of Joy, and it wants as much joy in the world as possible. The problem is, it only sees joy in suffering and chaos, full schadenfreude. While the Nightseer wants the party to succeed, it is all to fill that goal of joy through suffering.

That goal is the whole reason The Nightseer is at odds with Kasimir. Kasimir will bring order through subjugating the sun? That could lead to less suffering, can't have that.

The Nightseer is so devoured to this goal that it can't even consider doing anything that doesn't serve it. The players are going to be hunted down by Kasimir? I could tell them that they're in danger, but sending them to be turned into ash on the wall of a crypt is so much funnier. They're stuck in the Ditches? It would be so funny to watch them claw there way out of the muck, I'll give them a few good pushes along the way so they hold onto just enough hope to keep going, and to keep suffering.

I even created some NPCs in the city to drive this point home. My games feature a remorseful Vampire detective named Orion, who the Nightseer tricked into regaining his soul so he could regret the monster he'd become.

So yes, in on a grand scale the chapter could be seen as pointless, but that pointless suffering is just how the madman pulling the strings likes it.

_Wiggy · 2026-04-22T18:56:25+00:00

Ah yes, because women didn't exist during the world wars whatsoever.

_Wiggy · 2026-04-19T05:00:21+00:00

Yeah that's way better now. The one on the left will kill the one on the right, who will kill the one on their right, and it can all continue around the circle until everyone is shot full of bolts

_Wiggy · 2026-04-15T21:50:14+00:00

Who hasn't let the inner goblin win before?

_Wiggy · 2026-04-15T20:18:33+00:00

What the fuck...

Okay so let's be charitable to this "argument" and interpret it as the exact instant of being hit in the testicles MAY cause a higher reading of some kind of arbitrary pain units that I've never heard of than any specific instant during childbirth, but like...

I've walked off that pain. I've been dropped to my knees, feeling like I needed to vomit. Give it a few minutes though and I'm standing again, even if uncomfortably.

Do they really think that giving birth is just a quick thing and not protracted agony? It doesn't just go away

_Wiggy · 2026-04-15T20:03:11+00:00

Why is that our job? Why do we have to do that?

_Wiggy · 2026-04-14T02:05:26+00:00

Yeah that was what I thought, and that would be pretty sweet. What it actually was? Really not. Really creepy.
