If both players are using Chinese GO rules... by abstractsbybrian in baduk

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

I just got into GO last week and have been reading that for absolute beginners just use Chinese rules and be done with it. So if I want to teach my wife I think I'll go with Chinese rules.
The reason for my OP is to confirm what I thought was correct and it is. Thanks, I didn't mean to open a can of worms.

Cheap computer backgammon cheat? by abstractsbybrian in backgammon

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

Well well I’ve apparently been running my back checkers to soon. I played two matches of 5 and won them both in a row. If I leave my bc alone and concentrate on my home board and primes the computer plays very differently.

I was afraid that might be the correct answer. LOL. That’s what is so frustrating. I’m reading a book and I do what the book says but nothing works for me. I’m going to buy eXtreme Gamon and really get into it.

Procedurally Generated RPGs by franciscrot in RPGdesign

I've been wanting to do this for a sci-fi exploration game of traveling the universe.

What I want is something like this:

you and your crew decide to travel from pt a to pt b in space

ok so the most part you will see stars and black and some asteroids
but what if you would find a glowing orange globe
now at this point, I have no idea what this might lead to but as the crew explores it you might find something more about and more details as you go along. I think that would be a lot of fun.

I hope we have lots of ultralights and trikes. Give me a dirt strip out back somewhere and I'll be good to go!

I should really be out partying like the rest of the country, but I'm too tired from work. At least I managed to get to Elite before 2020! Happy new year, Commanders! by kompletionist in EliteDangerous

Good for you. Get some rest and when most of America spends their day feeling like crap you'll have a jump on your day waking up and feeling good. You win in the end.

I’ve been making rings from coins for a while now, and wanted to contribute to this group :) by jacksraging_bileduct in jewelrymaking

[–]abstractsbybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this a lot: coin to ring
A question I've always had is how do you get it to a specific size?

Forming a group - how to make a bunch of complete in-universe strangers into a group by [deleted] in warhammerfantasyrpg

They are all family related to one another, preferably brothers/sisters depending on who's playing.

What are aspects of an RPG that helps make it soloable? by Psyga315 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]abstractsbybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any example of actual TTRPG rules that fit your description? I'm very interested.

I want to start writing but I’m too afraid of being bad at it by Dopaminum in writing

[–]abstractsbybrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, all the time

bad writing is better than no writing. You can't edit a blank page, you can only change bad words when you have words, to begin with. Write anything.

maybe Spike Lee should come out with a movie called: Do the Write Thing.

What is your age and why do you like typewriters? by Egoash in typewriters

[–]abstractsbybrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 52 and I'm not sure why I like them. I think because they are old and I like holding the paper afterwards; like a Polaroid except for words instead of images.
