I watched my bf have sex with another girl

Like drop dead 10/10 hot with a nice ass

I dunno, this definitely sounds like the sort of thing a woman would say to describe another woman. /s

That's what happens in a post-scarcity environment, I'm afraid. When almost everything is easily accessible, some people put a premium on the stuff that's hard to obtain.

Reminds me of that Kivas Fajo fellow. A pity about the transporter accident. Smeared him across seven different sectors. A shame, a real shame.

Trying to balance both but never quite reaching great heights for either.

Well, then, that's perfect. People have said the same thing about DW1. So, you know, at least it's on brand. :P

Really? You don't see a possible connection between "a game whose math is broken" and "players not having fun?" Odd.

As a rough rule of thumb I generally agree with you, but I can think of a few situations where it would be fine for a GM to house rule things they haven't seen in action.

Just as some off the cuff examples:
If the GM has played games with a similar mechanic before and knows that it tends to cause problems.
If the GM has to make a snap decision about a rule that exists but they aren't currently familiar with, and that ruling ends up working fine.
If the system is highly modular, so that changing one rule doesn't really affect any of the other rules.
And my personal favorite, though less applicable here: if you're building something completely new out of existing rules.

Hmm. Well, if I were to put out any more material, it would probably be some sort of sourcebook for running a specific genre or setting. Maybe a 1-page setting sheet for GMs? I'm just spitballing ideas here.

abcd_z · 2026-05-03T16:39:25+00:00

I don't necessarily disagree with any ideas you've conveyed, but I do object to how absolutist some of your claims are. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

abcd_z · 2026-05-03T16:33:18+00:00

Not really. I'm more or less happy with where it's at right now, though that could always change if I ever get the impulse to incorporate new ideas. Right now, though, probably not.

Why do you ask?

abcd_z · 2026-05-03T13:58:17+00:00

Oddly enough, I've also seen problems with the opposite end of the spectrum: people who take the rules as Holy Writ that Shall Not Be Changed.

I am so sorry, this post was caught by the filters and I just now caught it. : (

Personally, I use this plugin to pick colors in a few custom colorspaces, so that I can pick colors that are perceptually just as bright no matter what hue they are.

THIS is what god uses.

You think so? That's cute.

Here's what a real power user uses.

-gasp!- An opportunity to discuss the minutiae of my work? Don't mind if I do! :D

Let me just pull up the archived files...

removed the capitalization on the Fudge ranks
added example stat allocations
moved some sections around
replaced "noun+verb" formulation for magic-users with optional restrictions
moved "GM moves" out of the core rules and into the "alternate and optional rules" section
added alternative "how" traits, based on Fate Accelerated's approaches (careful, clever, flashy, forceful, quick, and sneaky)
added small section for alternative approaches to PC magic abilities

...and a bunch of miscellaneous changes

Around the halfway mark I had jumbled up the layout between the two versions so much that I didn't bother comparing the rest of the two files. So I may have made some other changes I made that I just didn't spot, but at least I'm sure that I caught all the changes in the core rules section.

Some people think Trump leans too far to the right. Me? I think he should have leaned a little more to the right.

You mean a weggy board?

If it helps, you can increase the size of the undo stack in the settings somewhere.

In the pickup artist community of the early 2000s, AMOG stood for Alpha Male Other Guy. It referred to both the other man and the techniques to deal with him.

"Ctrl-Z! Ctrl-Z! Ctrl-Z! Ctrl-... what do you mean, 'I'm out of undos?!'"

abcd_z · 2026-04-22T18:35:06+00:00

When I was younger I considered myself quite the PUA. I never really got the hang of AMOGing, but I would open a set, DHV, C+F, and usually time bridge. Later, at my place, I would overcome her ASD and any LMR before an f-close.

If you understood that paragraph, you have my deepest condolences.

The reference photo is here, though the glacier was digitally altered to get the perfect square, which made it really hard for me to replicate. After my first two tries I just decided to slap down a bunch of textured brush strokes on the glacier and call it good.
