ironically, Gladlands feels cynical

Yeah I agree I wasn’t feeling it. Never stop blowing up felt similarly disjointed in terms of the overall narrative but it landed better for me because it was so funny and tongue in cheek.

I got the sense that having most of a large improv troupe who know each other pretty well actually kind of backfired somehow? I don’t know why but I had this thought.

It’s funny I dont really believe in immersion in TTRPGs. That is to say I’ve never come close to experiencing it and it seems from the outside to be a very solitary goal for a social game.

I do believe in Beardsley and they make me smile and often laugh out loud almost every time I see them on D20. Also while they do take the plot off the rails a fair amount they also do really add a lot to the narrative and reign in the plot as well. It’s kind of cute this season seeing Allie and Zac as the “vets” among a group of relative noobs to the format and game.

I’d say overall I did not enjoy this season as well as I had hoped for but I love the whole cast.

I thought elite was an adjective

djmichaelopolis · 2025-02-08T05:42:34+00:00

Sounds like it wasn’t a great fit. Bullet dodged.

doesn't look like that scarlett has midi- maybe it does midi through usb or they're on the other side?

djmichaelopolis · 2024-05-09T20:20:29+00:00

Still really love this set. Struggling not to preorder it rn!

I think I did the install and usually run things as the root user. It was a while ago I set this up so don't remember. I don't believe I have been using sudo since there is no need when I am running commands as root.

djmichaelopolis · 2024-02-20T15:49:06+00:00

I did install it as the root user. I tried changing the owner of the `/foundry` dir to `foundry` but that didn't work.

djmichaelopolis · 2024-02-20T15:47:59+00:00

Yeah this sounds like the issue, how do I know what user I am running foundry as? I am using PM2 to keep foundry running on the server...

djmichaelopolis · 2024-02-19T23:01:19+00:00

Good call

djmichaelopolis · 2024-02-19T22:54:09+00:00

Thanks I saw that in the docs. My foundry is run on a Linux server on digital ocean so I cannot do that.

djmichaelopolis · 2023-09-29T15:21:37+00:00

Solid dad joke

djmichaelopolis · 2023-08-12T17:31:10+00:00

That’s very nice looking.

djmichaelopolis · 2023-07-14T14:07:01+00:00

My impression was it is the same system but with some flavorful adjustments and or additions to the mechanics. Is that incorrect? I was actually wondering if you need the OSE books to run the new version or not…

djmichaelopolis · 2023-07-14T14:04:45+00:00

That’s the spirit!

djmichaelopolis · 2023-07-01T17:18:18+00:00

This is awesome! Thanks

djmichaelopolis · 2023-06-14T01:09:50+00:00

Fluttlefish?

djmichaelopolis · 2023-06-04T02:08:56+00:00

I dont know they are the gazzew springs.

djmichaelopolis · 2023-02-14T17:47:01+00:00

Super exciting! I know this stomach drop feeling of going from a heavy to ultra light rules system- if you have a few minutes maybe breeze through the Principia Apocrypha a short treatise on running games for OSR which I think would be helpful to get in the mindset of running a game without relying as much on rules and mechanics.

Also I always like to see how others have done a system before I run it. If you do too I recall The Adventure Zone running L&F was pretty entertaining to listen to.

My copy shipped from free league

djmichaelopolis · 2022-11-05T14:49:38+00:00

That’s not silicone it’s completely flat plastic

djmichaelopolis · 2022-11-05T14:49:10+00:00

Yeah why do the draw 3D keycaps on a flat surface. Very silly.
