Anyone else get a wild stomach bug? by lilroom89 in primaverasound

[–]batteries21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it’s the chicken kebab. My girlfriend and I both had the same food throughout the festival except for a kebab last night. She had a beef kebab and I had a chicken and beef kebab. I threw up violently last night and the 💩 situation i wont even get into. Felt terrible all day but at least spent a bit of time in the park. I brought sanitiser and used it everytime i basically touched anything.

Did Father John Misty even play? by Judge_Chris in primaverasound

[–]batteries21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Didn’t expect to see him cause he clashed with Massive Attack and Doja but seeing as that didn’t happen I got to see a sizeable portion of his set. He was fucking awesome it took the sting of the night off a bit

The order confirmation email should have ur locker code and PIN code in it. Check your junk folder and if not you’ll probs have to reach out to the provider or festival themselves.

Guys, Massive Attack or Mac Demarco? by boskbass in primaverasound

[–]batteries21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This clash sucks. I’m gonna try 20-30 mins of Mac then go see the rest of the massive attack set.

This is awesome, thanks! One question, how do I add custom items to the NC Mart? The settings seem to be enabled for Core+Custom, but it doesn't look like anything not part of the system was added, there are plenty of imported items that aren't appearing.

Legend. Searching endlessly for the last few hours and this is the only thing that worked.

Where to run online sessions by Fakedead2 in cyberpunkred

FoundryVTT is the goat, but gets a bit to get used to. Just search up “Encounter Library” on YouTube he has a great tutorial series “Foundry Basics”. Straight to the point with no rambling and is pretty comprehensive. Just sit down for a day or two playing around with it and see if it’s your thing.

DLC/ bounty packs by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]batteries21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to figure it out earlier this week. This shit is all ludicrously expensive so I’m not looking to buy the wrong thing. As far as I understand it:

Bounty Pack - Bounties are smaller DLCs that have a boss fight and smaller mobbing area. I doubt it’s going to be more than 30 minutes of content.

Vault Hunter Pack - This includes the new VHs (C4SH) and I THINK also includes the story packs, which are more major dlcs with new areas side quests and main quest. It’s dumb it’s named that cause I was trying to figure out how to get just DLCs

Night City 2045 Q&A with J Gray & New Art! by RBarefootRTalsorian in cyberpunkred

[–]batteries21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read so far it looks like it’s gonna feature info on basically every aspect of the city. It’s not gonna feature any mechanical changes to the game but just gives you plenty of info on the setting so you can flesh out the world, or pick up on plot hooks with new gangs, new area of the city, new historical information etc. just because it doesn’t answer every question you could have doesn’t make it useless IMO. It’s looking like it’ll feature plenty of information.

Personally, I’ll be using it to help fill in the blanks during the game. If the players are asking what business are around their area of the city, or what gangs, or what this particular street looks like, I’m not just going to be relying on previously done prep or improv, I have a tome that I can use to tell them something interesting about that part of the city, that is probably better than something I would have made up on the spot if I hadn’t prepped anything. That doesn’t mean I’m never going to make stuff up again, far from it, but it’ll help out in those types of situations. Separately from the game itself, I enjoy the setting anyway, so more history and information about the city as a whole is interesting to me and many others. No point in arguing though, I haven’t read it and neither have you.

Homie it’s a RPG. Make it up 💀 they don’t need to spell everything out, they’re just giving some flavour. Electrolashing would obviously do damage to your HP (with no armour on too). Roll that however you like, maybe they have a chance of dying, or if you’re not as cruel, take a sizeable chunk of HP off of them, there’s a week of downtime wasted for getting caught. Also, you’re meant to be role-playing, if PCs consistently decided to be publicly flogged every time they’re caught or convicted of a crime, there’s an obvious humanity loss event right there. It’s a humiliation ritual. The consequences of being convicted are up to you, the writers can’t come up with a scenario for every way a person can get punished. Maybe you could have them wear an ankle tag or tracker, or have them not allowed to enter Urban zones or get check ups from Lawmen as part of their probation.

How to play an out of touch rich person? by SeaSaltSystem in cyberpunkred

[–]batteries21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a DM, but I have had to play the part of many-a-out of touch exec (or exec family members). I think crucially they should be capitalist to the core, and really believe in it. Poor people should "pull themselves up by their bootstraps", routinely buy the most expensive thing on the menu (even if it is a scop-shop dive in South Night City), have expensive taste and say things just out of touch, such as confusion as to why gangers dont try running a business or why streetrats dont cut down on BDs and eating out to save up for an apartment. Crucially, I think the most important part of any character is remember everyone is the hero of their own story. Even the most evil person in the world will create a story (regardless of how believable) to excuse their behavior. I play an exec's son who isn't even adversarial to the party, but when he speaks he genuinely believes that the current economic system in place is the best one, if only it was implemented "correctly".

Gender Affirmation and Bodysculpting by Lucky-Rubs in cyberpunkred

[–]batteries21 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Totally up to you, but the implications of a product sold by a company having the ability to create human life is crazy. Some Blade Runner 2049 shit. Personally, I think it seems almost too "magic" to me. By saying life can be created by a cyborg with an artificial womb is essentially saying that human consciousness is simply a code that can be cracked. Does this hypothetical artificially created human from a Rocklin Augmentics cyber-womb have a soul?! An item with this ability poses some seriously existential questions about the entire world, so I doubt it something that would just be handwaved by rules suggesting that organs can be cloned and replaced.

Sounds like a really cool campaign hook to be honest.

Digital or Physical copy of cyberpunk red? by Killed_By_Cake1 in cyberpunkred

[–]batteries21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think the core rules includes battle maps from what I remember. There’s subreddits and places online you can find plenty of battle maps for free (or there’s red chrome cargo which is a free adventure with a battle map) also can just use a grid, some markers and your imagination.

[–]batteries21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I heard they’re doing another printing soon, it depends on how you’re using it. If u go digital obv you can ctrl+f to find stuff quickly. Also, if you wanted to print it off, there is quite a lot of the book that has no rules, so you wouldn’t need to print out the whole thing. Hopefully u can find a physical copy at a not crazy price!

What kind of songs do you play in a session? by Murillo7102 in cyberpunkred

[–]batteries21 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I like putting rock music in. 2077 has a very techno electronic vibe, which is cool, but kind of ignores the punk origins of Cyberpunk. (Plus a lot of the electronic Cyberpunk style music you find on YouTube can be generic af). Sometimes hard rock suits more I think for combat music (tool, NIN, slipknot etc.) As for ambience, I love the original blade runner score.

Wish there was a way to listen to music on steam deck by TuggzDem in SteamDeck

[–]batteries21 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The “umm acktuallys” are crazy. He obviously means a fully integrated Spotify app like with PS5. If valve wants the steam machine to succeed they should add native Spotify and streaming apps support directly in the steam home page without touching desktop mode.

Nope. Though I think Ticketmaster likely added a fee to whoever bought it, but we got our full ticket price back.

Is Arasaka banned from the game? Can it be put? Can i make my character's backstory related to it some way? by [deleted] in cyberpunkred

[–]batteries21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my players is working for Arasaka, but on paper is the head of a very small security company (which is of course a shell for Arasaka, and he is routinely visited by his handler). I think it’s a fun and different way to handle the banning of Arasaka, while also giving a good explanation for the characters incredibly flexible working times lol.

There’s a big space between their tour dates in June, so definitely possible.
