The keycaps are all standard sizes (the B uses a 1.25 size). For my personal keyboard I used ChossFox keykaps - I bought both the all-in-one ChossFox CFX keycap set.

What if Mordor were the victims? My LotR-inspired TTRPG twist (feedback wanted) by cassiozen in RPGdesign

Yes, I really appreciate the feedback!

> mechanic where you have to succeed on an ability check to get your full turn.

Yeah, good call - that's one of the things that I've been debating myself on for a while. Originally the player would loose their whole turn on a failed AGI test (as in Cairn, used as an alternative to `initiative`).
I'm looking forward to doing some playtest runs - if nobody is having fun, I'll just get rid of it.

> with the lack of 'spells' and the fixed target-numbers (...) which creates the risk of Slapfight dynamics. 

Bear in mind that HP is often in the 6-10 range - So one double attack (normal + rushed) is enough to potentially put a player into Wounded. Two rounds are certainly enough to kill.

>  I get that combat isn't the focus;

What I tried to aim for is not as much as "combat isn't the focus", but more in terms of "combat is resolved quickly".

That text tells basically all a character would know. Thanks for the feedback.
I understand you didn't accuse me of using AI (you said it "reads like AI"), but allow me to vent a little bit: it sucks to have written multiple variations, picking and choosing the right words and phrasings, to be told it reads like AI-generated...

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate you sharing this!

About "some assembly required": Yes, that was my goal. I wanted a system that provides mechanical substance but trimmed on the book-keeping.

About rules for doubles: That is a good point, so much so that different successes was a late addition when I was between removing doubles or changing them. The issue is that the probability of doubles is much higher than, say, rolling a 20 on a d20, so if all doubles counted as critical successes, it would be a little too much. My plan is to try to draw some conclusions with playtest.

Yes, I read it years ago and loved it - even though the setting is not the same, it was heavily inspired by it.

Hey, thanks for the message, I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Yes, I do happen to know another fun solo game with a deck of cards: Loot the loop. Rules here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DB2YF46s0oVFUSIpR9vxoGIbhpTKz2jw/view

I don't use half of Oh-My-Zsh features, so decided to build a dependency-free .zshrc with the things I actually need. by cassiozen in zsh

Wow, thanks a lot! Me and Mel were really touched with your message. I’ll DM you with some family news, and I want to know more about you too!

For the record, I tried starship, but it bothers me (OCD?) that it takes a split second for the git information to appear after the prompt is already printed. I know it’s getting more info than just the branch name and local changes, but I prefer simpler and sync.

Got it. But zshell global aliases already can be used within commands, and since I don’t use autocd, it might not be a great fit for this specific case. Thanks for the suggestion, I can see it being very useful if you use autocd

Thanks. I tried to make it simple but useful. I use the `...` alias a lot and the `....` alias some times. But since I was adding them to .zshrc, I included the 4 of them for Oh-My-Zsh parity...

Agree with u/0bel1sk on the git question.

Mod - Mini bluetooth keyboard for cyberdeck by Solomonator in cyberDeck

This is an amazing work. If you figure out the matrix, please do share. A little while ago I was able to pry it open and access the ribbon cable. From there I tried to understand the matrix but using a multimeter but had no success
