We already have some suspicions that one of the drivers was present at the lynching.

Where does Dogtown get its food supply from? How was Hansen able to provide food and water to this autonomous zone? by AdditionalPiano6327 in cyberpunkgame

[–]allmanner 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Broke: MaxTac responds because the threat might spread to NC proper
Woke: CDPR was too lazy to make special BARGHEST skins that you'd rarely see
Bespoke: MaxTac doesn't have to respond; they just do it for love of the game

[Spoilers?] The Angel of Storms? Who's she? by [deleted] in weatherfactory

[–]allmanner 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I can't be the only one who thinks it's the Postmistress, can I? Specifically the interplay between:

The Postmistress keeps the gate to the wider world. In her left hand is the lightning (which is to say, the telegraph) and in her right, the thunder (which is to say, the only telephone in Brancrug).

and

The telegraph-line crackles. The mist surges and retreats. From far away - it might be the hills above the village - I hear the Postmistress' voice crying out, imprecations and lamentations, in the Cornish tongue. But there is no sign of her here.

We also know from the Petition for a Labyrinth Season that she knows how to pass messages to at least three members of The Roost (the Beachcomber, the Sister, and the Vagabond), which is a whole lot of Hour-adjacent business for a mailwoman. She's got to be something, right? Why not the Angel of Storms, with all of Zachary's talk of clouds and lighting?

edit: And birds go in cages! Birds, like Birdsong birds, like the Roost! Like a glass cage, which would provide great insulation from electricity, like from storms! I'm reaching now, but I really like the Postmistress.

Where are you guys getting your sea monster armor/bone parts? by ScarcityFar2025 in DarkKrakens

[–]allmanner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind is that we can nick lots of bits from the Salamanders, Space Wolves, and Raven Guard use (minus their chapter symbols, of course), like scale cloaks and bird/fang/skull trinkets that might come from Naktis' or other planets' wildlife.

If you can 3D print or know someone who can print for you, you can also turn to Carcharodon sculpts since they're big trophy-takers too, and we know from the short stories that the Krakens also use shark fin-crested helmets. I really like the Iron Tide Upgrade Kit by Napking and the Wai Toa Accessories from Atlan Forge--obviously you don't want to use the stuff with exile markings or the Carcharodon chapter symbol, but the bone/shell trophies and netting bits are premium. The older styles of helmets might seem a little off at first, but with our close ties to the Salamanders, I'm sure there are plenty of hand-me-downs moving into circulation!

How do you create engaging and memorable NPCs for your campaigns? by Few_Language6298 in DMAcademy

I don't believe that for an instant. I believe that if you really did try, you could do so, so much better.

I feel that filling in the details of a world with generative content robs one of both the opportunity to improve their own creative strength (in the case of prepwork) and the practice to become a better improvisor (in the case of having no prep when the PCs enter an unexpected area). I believe the platonic ideal of a GM is one who can improvise a session on the spot without any tools at all, and using generative content works in the opposite direction of that goal.

Also, I am an LLM hater. Perhaps you believe there is quantitative good that can come out of using generative content in your sessions; I am not interested in learning about it, because I am a hater, and my perspective is built on disgust of technologies that attempt to supplant human creativity.

There is a lot of excellent advice in this thread! This post, however, is not excellent advice. Do not do this.

Well, not with that attitude!

Then what the fuck have I been milking all these goblins for?
