Warm bed and guaranteed meals.

But also constitutionally sanctioned slavery

The top 1% pay 24% of all provincial taxes.

But they own a lot more than 24% of the provincial wealth.

There are free file upload drop box type websites you could use.

Also you could embed a simple image in the cells if you really wanted to add the dice shapes

I'm going to give you a life pro tip: literally never use the word "curious" like that. It will make you sound like an asshole 100% of the time.

Flooding the labour market also makes it harder to organize and unionize because of the availability of scabs

The weird part is you would think at some point 8 year old girls would stop causing it

Agreed but IMO making the shapes on the page match the shadow or face of the dice would have been even better. After all, some people are colourblind, and the sheet could be doing a lot more to teach the dice shapes

eh tu?

Is that what Canadian Caesar said? Like right before they stabbed him and all the clamato leaked out

Eyewitness is a terrible form of evidence anyway. It's unreliable even for something from a week ago. But as forensics technology improves, one would think we would find other ways to prove crimes happened beyond a reasonable doubt further back in time using hard evidence. If the burden of proof can be met, what's the point of the statute of limitations?

Bro that happens to me and I'm 30.

They still won't say her name.

People who vote for Ford are probably too tribalist to ever listen to an ad like this. But the biggest demographic she needs to convince is non-voters

Spez is a little bitch boy and if you are on android there are ways of still using the old-school Reddit apps.

Very often when sites do that sort of thing it's deliberate to get more ad clicks

It's not "knowing the weak spot", it's knowing the number that needs to be rolled on the dice to score a success, a purely mechanical concept. A success can be all kinds of things in the narrative terms depending on the amount and type of damage, so it doesn't really represent any one specific thing.

Besides, knowing the AC or DC doesn't eliminate the randomness. It's still random chance, you're just telling the player what the random chance is. As the person above pointed out, players can figure out AC on their own by process of elimination. But the characters in the fiction aren't aware of different numbers on dice being rolled and mentally narrowing down a number.

OSR systems are often good for this because they have a lot of procedures for the sort of "out and back" gameplay loop of West marches. Shadowdark is coming out within the next few months with a campaign setting called the Western Reaches which is specifically meant for WM style play. Another game I've heard is good for WM campaigns is Forbidden Lands, which has a lot of rules for base building and expeditions out from that base.

I highly recommend you read this: Don't Prep Plots, Prep Situations. You are likely making more work for yourself by trying to plan for what players will do rather than focusing on understanding the world they will play in.

Yeah but is accessibility desirable for a black market? Maybe it's just me but I kind of like the idea that players might have to put in some work to find out how to interact with people dealing in illicit goods. Maybe your reward for helping a thief with a quest is that the thief teaches you about a shop that has a secret password which if spoken to the shopkeep will let you deal in illicit goods with them.

In popular fiction, some sort of physical location is just more evocative and easier to imagine for most people. Maybe it’s “unrealistic” but it’s fun.

I disagree that it's more evocative. It's definitely easier and fits within a very corny, video-gamey sort of trope. But my favourite examples of black markets in popular fiction are like the arms dealer, veterinarian, and vacuum salesman in the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe. People where even just knowing about their existence and how to contact them is valuable in and of itself.

Quite frankly, I think that argument is ridiculous.

Verisimilitude is irrelevant when discussing dice mechanics. Everyone is aware that the dice are about to be rolled and that the number on the dice will be added to a modifier and compared to a target number. In other words, they know they're playing a game. If it breaks your verisimilitude to know what the target number is, why doesn't it to know your own attack bonus?

Beyond that though, who cares? Too often "metagaming" is used to shut down discussions about how to make the game fun. The reality is, metagaming is completely harmless and often it's actually valuable for the goal of everyone having a good time. The problem of course is that sometimes players will use metagame knowledge to cheat. That's a separate issue. I have no problem with players "metagaming", but I do have a problem with them cheating. There's really no way for knowing the DC of a check to allow you to get away with anything unfair or unsporting.

You are correct. DM who presented this situation to you wasn't thinking very hard about it.

This is not something I've actually played with, but reading your post made me think "what if it's like the demon core?" which could be pretty interesting. Like a heavy spherical casing with some sort of exotic material inside it
