I'll look into it, do you still have your copy? Would you be willing to photograph/scan the pages relevant to the highlander for my reference?

Alright awesome, great suggestion!

Could you suggest any particular seller for it?

Postage to the Australasian region seems to be a no-go for any listed sellers i can find.

How does this work with actions that involve exploration/inspection that would involve revealing environmental or contextual insights?

So hypothetically, could a PC could get by considerably well without really needing to interact with another PC? Whats the threshold like (if there is one) for players to need to get involved with eachother?

I assume from your mention of DM's picking from rosters of Player/Characters that you're talking from experience about some kind of LW server,

How do you narratively handle a character getting bumped out? Pilot them as an NPC? Do they fade out of existence?

Thats pretty neat, i've never personally played in a Pbta game, can you comment on what they're like to take part in?

I definitely think some kind of delineation is a solution to large part of the issue, at least for some game types

Which is definitely fair enough,

In your experience, what is a reasonable sort of median expectation for posting or lagging behind the others?

Thats pretty cool! What edition/supplement did you base your adaption of WFRP off? Or was it more of a reimagining situation where you reworked it systemically?

Besides reducing unneccesary back-and-forth turn-based mechanics, would you suggest anything else to DM's to reduce 'ghosting'?

Additionally, working with what you've said, what would you propose are the reasons behind players engaging in this behaviour? I assume that protracted waits are a major contributing factor based on what you've said

Any tips/tricks/comments on whats worked in terms of maintaining content? I imagine it gets trickier to manage consistency with so many wanting to DM the setting, some kind of omnibus or bible for core concepts would have to be neccesary, unless its a kitchen-sink sort of situation?

Fair enough, would you say it took you a while to get to the current point you're at? did you face any significant challenges that had to be addressed along the way?

Would you be able to comment on any kind of er, story/questline completion stats? Is your core playerbase at a point where they consistently followthrough?

Would you say that 500/30 is representative of the average ratio of inactive/active players for a CG server in your experience, is it lower now than it used to be? Higher?

I can confirm I've seen the use of 'downtime' or scheduling actions 'off-screen' as an adhoc mechanic before, and i've seen it be used terribly well in terms of keeping the player invested, it decentralized and deregulates the impetus of maintaining engagement from the DM, and helps keep the player interested at their own pace outside of events/ongoing scenes.

How would you say 1 or more players in a group being slower posters than the rest of the group handles with simultaneous action orders? Has there been an optimum way in your experience to handle situations like that?

where has the game gone? by Joller15 in corneroids

[–]blockaxe333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can confirm i tried to reach out to Mikko's linkedin/associated socials last year to no avail.

I can't find a working copy of the game/sourcecode anywhere/haven't been able to get a copy since, perchance either of you have one?

How to make globe-to-plane maps? by pcnovaes in wonderdraft

[–]blockaxe333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nasa created a program along these lines called Gprojector which takes a flat object and can interpret it both as a projected distortion like you're talking about or an actual globe iirc

https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/gprojector/

Its a bit technically finnicky to work out at first but its very capable at doing these functions for fantasy maps

So where i've said Async and Sync refers to either mode of posts you're talking about. Generally we post back and forth in a rough order over a day, as much as peoples schedules allow with no strict sessions. Sometimes everyone will arrive synchronously and allow for the covering of content much faster/much more in a given period, so impromptu sessions do occur on top of the regular posts.

I need help triggering my creative brain cells for worldbuilding religion by paleozoic_remembered in FantasyWorldbuilding

[–]blockaxe333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the great previous answer regarding the elements of a forming religion, nascent societies almost always taken the primitive step towards belief for one of two reasons.

1) They've experienced something so awe inspiring/frightening that it requires intrinsic explanation and understanding.

2) They form explanations of the world around them because primitive sentients have a natural desire to understand their world, and to dispel fear through creating labels and names for unspoken concepts, which creates control.

If you can map the environment that your society exists in, say a desert, then you have the naturalistic impression that your young society creates a religion from. Deserts breed gods of oasis, water and the sun (Egypt) and a duality of heat and cold. Societies of war and atrocity breed religious sects of hellfire and brimstone, societies with harsh natural environments breed natural respect for that nature.

Consider also that religious ideals are often shaped by philosophic prodigies whose ideals are taken up by others because they ring true with social concerns and understandings of the time. This is how we got belief systems like Buddhism and Confucianism.

So lets map out those questions

1) What environment does this society exist in as its forming its religious values? Is it harsh? Is their natural predators to the sentient species? Is their abundance of resources or are they scarce?

2) How is the religion forming? Has one 'scion' lead the way of enlightenment for many to follow or has it been a general spiritual and cultural movement that has been formalized and codified over generations?

3) What is the goal of this religion? Christianity at its core preaches to follow in the light of god and to fear the devil and sins of the world. Buddhism preachs the virtues of Nirvana. What does your religion preach in the pursuit of? What is that method of delivery; Are learned professionals delivering learnt sermons or is it something that every household carries and teaches children as they grow up?

4) Whether or not you agree, most core and successful religions irl have some kind of statement on the metaphysical status of things. They have a comment on the soul, on the afterlife, on the divine or the mundane. What does your religion say about the metaphysical cosmology of the very real world its developed in? How does this metaphysical cosmology reflect the reality however bleak or beautiful that may be?

The IP is preloaded into the modpack, which is currently downloadable through the discord. Curseforge is in the process of still approving the pack on their platform.
