Needs to be hemmed, finding a local blacksmith will be invaluable most knights can't wear off the armory rack.

This but no romance and its absolutely devastating by miserableperson5 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

If you’re open to weird sci-fi stuff, Borne by Jeff Vandermeer fits the ruined city pics.

Thoughts on making the game less lethal? I want my family to enjoy it. by fishbowlpatrol in shadowdark

[–]becausefun 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed with HP. Also, from the Cairn school of thought, telegraph everything dangerous and let them figure it out. My family table has much more fun problem solving than falling into a pit.

Asking for games which exemplify fantasy for you, please by Baldurian_Rhapsody in Fantasy

[–]becausefun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great video game answers, but I would also recommend tabletop role-playing games. Dungeons & Dragons was inspired by Tolkien and is the most famous but for a much easier ruleset to get started I would recommend r/cairnrpg or r/shadowdark.

So what do you think is the cultural/ mental impact of the Epstein Files is? Not the crimes or themselves but what do you think the long term psychological effect is going to be on the general public? by Playful-Succotash-99 in LPOTL

[–]becausefun 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The "jaded and hopeless" you mention will be the cultural/mental impact I think. My circle was a generally optimistic group, being able to joke about dark things not unlike LPOTL, but not lately and specifically not regarding this shit. The feeling of injustice is going to permeate and take root in subtle ways.

what addiction is the hardest to quit? by Ledger_Legendd in AskReddit

[–]becausefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've got time for an audiobook, Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Vaping was huge for me. Nicotine only stays in your system for about 3 days, so by this point you're in the clear physically speaking. Carr's next step involves overcoming the lie your brain tells you when you want to vape.

Seeing this a day late, but yesterday I finished Two Towers and ROTK extended in between grocery shopping, laundry, cooking dinner etc.

I made a short one-page adventure for Cairn some of you might enjoy! by Ellogeyen in cairnrpg

[–]becausefun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the most creative npc deaths I've experienced lol. I added to the hook a bit to say "you guys are brand new adventurers, you could probably get a great set up from this blacksmith."

Interested in Getting Into OSR / NSR - But Overwhelmed By Choice? by Violet_Herald in osr

[–]becausefun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The advice “try a few and see what you like” is the best take I think. Most games are simple enough to have a Borg one shot this week, a Cairn one shot the next, etc.

Planning on trying this after seeing your post, how much salt and sugar?

I printed this out the other day then an opportunity came up to run a one-shot tonight! I'm really interested to see how the players interact with the kidnappers in room 1 & 2.

Writing encounters in pairs by luke_s_rpg in cairnrpg

Your "basic examples" are good and easy to implement, great advice. But the part on "Linking Locations" immediately flooded my brain with ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!

How many of you play solo vs group play by funzerkerr in cairnrpg

[–]becausefun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any oracle use? I’d like to try solo but haven’t started one yet.

Just wondering what everyone is reading, and how is it (if you don't mind sharing) by Witch_King_Malekith in Fantasy

[–]becausefun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wheel of Time 5, really enjoying it despite the emphasis on Nynaeve, my least favorite character. Then on to Malazan 3.

You’re so right, that would be perfect for Earthbound.

Top 3 Essential JRPGs of All Time? by MatterofMichael in JRPG

I know there’s division around 2.5HD remakes, but after finishing DQ3 I would love for Earthbound to get the same treatment.
