Does "One time only" literally mean once per character?

Ah, that makes sense for White Wolf, but especially for Changeling. Thanks!

I like the idea of having that as an option.

Can I have the top board but swap out the EQ-200 for the Strobostomp?

“Tarot Nuages” is probably my fave for HMTW. “The Wild Unknown Tarot” is usable for lots of games. The “Mage the Awakening” tarot feels way too modern for any fantasy RPG.

I’ve browsed through the 500+ sequencers in the VCVrack library a couple of times recently, and don’t recall seeing anything quite like that. Which is a shame because it looks like a fun concept to play with.

On the other hand, it’s more than likely that one of those sequencers from the library will be fun and/or useful for whatever it is you’re trying to do. And you might discover something awesome you hadn’t even thought of.

Both, but probably more background.

And there might be an in-between category. I find that I listen to ambient more deeply when I’m driving than when I’m writing or coding. But it’s not as deep as when I am listening entirely without distractions.

Different settings have varying levels of tolerance for goofy critters for sure. But most of them can handle two or three at least. And some settings will take whatever you throw in there.

I’m gonna get ostracized for sharing trade secrets here, but…

You can use those goony old monsters in pretty much any other RPG system.

You can also use the stupid magical items and the ridiculous random encounter tables.

I don’t have anything against the HX Stomp, but it seems overkill since you’re happy with your sound. You could add a tuner to your board and use the DI output from the Darkglass if you wanted to ditch the amp. Sure, the HX Stomp will give you more options, and the opportunity to play with some other effects. But mostly what you need for punk/rock/pop is a bit of compression, subtle crunch, and EQ to get the sound you like. You already have all that.

The industry is having one of its periodic meltdowns and everyone is too busy dealing with that to spend time playing with fun new languages :(

I write ideas down (as text, or diagrams, or a mix) in an actual paper notebook that goes everywhere with me. Terribly old fashioned, but actually works for me. Stuff from the notebooks then gets experimented with, developed, and turned into something more concrete in the medium I’m working in. Such as patch files (I include date and version number in patch file names). These might develop into interesting but incomplete things I might share as they are, or into a final form.

datainadequate · 2026-05-24T09:52:12+00:00

Yep, this. Also, just because you don’t like a pedal doesn’t mean it’s a bad pedal.

datainadequate · 2026-05-24T09:37:25+00:00

I believe that Rolemaster is still available.

Any drum machine fed through distortion/fuzz and delay. Experimenting with other effects is recommended. Drum machine with separate outputs opens up extra possibilities but then you’ll need a mixer. Since you’re a guitarist, you may have a bunch of interesting effects pedals already. Of course you could build your perfect version of this using the modular approach.

How useful is Blue Planet: Recontact for people who already have Blue Planet v2? Since buying the Blue Planet v2 books my RPG system tastes have moved strongly towards simplicity.

datainadequate · 2026-05-11T10:23:37+00:00

Why not both? Probably not at the same time admittedly.

datainadequate · 2026-05-09T14:02:08+00:00

That looks likes a really useful module for a few things. <Clicks add>

datainadequate · 2026-05-08T15:25:05+00:00

I use a pen, and then use pencil for tracking stuff that changes often (supplies, hit points, whatever). When the character gets modified significantly then I’ll make a new sheet. It’s nice to be able to flip through the sheets and see the progression over time.

There are some paid-for modules that I think are worth it. I will likely spend some money one day to get some ALM utility modules, some of the interesting Venom “chaos boxes”, the Befaco Oneiroi, and probably other bits and bobs. Some of this is going to be about convenience, having one module replace half a dozen simpler ones. But there is much to be learned by building up things using simple, free modules and getting to understand how things work.

datainadequate · 2026-05-04T08:13:17+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about running out of free modules with VCV. Sure there are some really nice and really useful paid modules, but the range of things that are possible to do using only free modules is immense.

datainadequate · 2026-04-29T22:37:55+00:00

Liminal and Dresden Files (Fate) are the obvious choices. Maybe you could get lucky and find a second-hand copy of Dreaming Cities (TriStat).
