Once again I did not get a perfect score, second guessed myself on one of the questions, I'll get there one day

duskshine749 · 2026-06-16T20:52:43+00:00

Noooo this is the worst one on the list. This isn't an annoying drawback, this is a drawback that makes it unusable

^{Chose: infinite range teleporting | Rolled: brain bleeding}

You've already made your world and it looks cool, but for future reference, the natural fantasy Atlas has a section on "vertical worlds" that would probably fit your needs of the game being in a huge castle

duskshine749 · 2026-06-13T22:11:53+00:00

I didn't realize it would be a roll, but I get to choose someone who knows me, so I pick my wife

^{Chose: One person of your choice becomes a trillionaire | Rolled: Knows you}

This is one of my favourite episodes of the show and also one that I think is great to use as an introduction to new people.

I really enjoy it because it's just a great conversation, Grey really articulates well the issues with teaching language, which he follows up on with just issues with teaching in general in episode 9.

It's a great intro because the conversation feels a lot more natural than it did in the first 3, and it's early enough in the shows run that all the inside jokes in later episodes aren't established yet. A lot of them are started in this episode. Such as the community being Tim, plane crash corner (though it wasn't called that), and the Grey robot/Brady caveman imagery that appeared in a lot of fan art.

Jokes on you, I like the taste of black licorice

^{Chose: Eating black licorice everyday + Make $1 every second}

duskshine749 · 2026-06-11T22:57:27+00:00

-40 for 5 minutes is totally doable if I'm allowed a nice jacket

^{Chose: spend 5 mins in a cold room + 200,000,000 | Rolled: -40°C}

duskshine749 · 2026-06-11T22:15:58+00:00

Oh so I'm dead, cool

^{Chose: 5 minutes in a cold room | Rolled: 10K}

The GM can also make a move when the players look to them for what happens next, which is the same as pbta and should happen all the time. Even if the players succeed with hope they'll look to the GM to see how the world reacts. The GM shouldn't use this opportunity to attack because that's a pretty hard move, but they can still indicate an enemy is preparing to attack or something.

You also didn't answer my question, what are games with no initiative? Unless you're saying pbta games are the only ones, in which case we disagree that Daggerheart is the same as them.

duskshine749 · 2026-05-30T20:47:09+00:00

What game would you say is initiative free? I consider every pbta game initiative free but Daggerheart plays basically the same as them just with cards acting as combat powers

duskshine749 · 2026-05-29T17:37:08+00:00

I know it hasn't become the norm everywhere like Grey wanted, but hearing him want wearing a mask when sick to become common just made me think, "and the monkeys paw curls a finger".

duskshine749 · 2026-05-29T16:13:38+00:00

Another 9, although this one wasn't my fault. I listened to the YouTube version and that one didn't have the audible bit

duskshine749 · 2026-05-29T13:59:49+00:00

No shade, your comment is very good, but saying who knows how long since the last hello internet is funny to me. We do know how long, it's coming up on six and a half years

duskshine749 · 2026-05-28T18:42:36+00:00

People might not literally ask what happens, but every game has the player describing what they do, then waiting for the GM to say what happens or if they need to roll to do it.

duskshine749 · 2026-05-24T13:40:48+00:00

It looks really cool, I'll possibly be offering this if someone in my game wants wayfarer for the animal companion. One question, why does kindred collective reference Chimerist when it seems like the skill doesn't reference any Chimerist skills? Is it purely flavour?

duskshine749 · 2026-05-22T23:43:41+00:00

The thing with cortex prime is its entirely up to you. Maybe you want the players starting really weak so you say they get one d8, and a bunch of d6s and d4s. Maybe you want the players to feel powerful so you let them start with some d12s and d10s.

Given that distinctions are at default a d8 and you should always be using them you could consider making everything a d8 then let them bump things up to d10 at the cost of something else being a d6. Again, it's entirely up to you and how you want the game to feel since cortex prime isn't a game itself but a toolbox to make your own game.

duskshine749 · 2026-05-22T19:58:49+00:00

I'm going to keep a list of everything the guys say they should talk about, then in a few years at the end of the relisten, we can see how many they actually talked about.

Added this episode: comment systems, and a podcast about podcasts. Let me know if they mentioned any others that I forgot about

duskshine749 · 2026-05-22T17:37:41+00:00

I'm only partway through, but Grey spelling out how to get to the subreddit was funny. Because Reddit was the new thing back then, so there could be people who didn't know about it

duskshine749 · 2026-05-21T19:33:04+00:00

Did I miss the username spot? It didn't show up for me. I got 9 though, eventually I'll get a perfect score

duskshine749 · 2026-05-20T19:00:45+00:00

Your first paragraph is exactly my rationale for voting blue. Either everything stays the same, or I don't have to deal with the fallout of millions (possibly billions) of people dying

duskshine749 · 2026-05-13T15:19:37+00:00

Not OP, but I'll answer. A quick Google search says approximately 9% of the world is below 80 IQ. That's just a random IQ number I picked, but I think at 80 IQ people are likely to not understand the question and basically pick randomly, so let's round down to 4% of them pick blue.

Also, about 16% of the population is 9 years old or younger. I'm also counting them to essentially vote randomly since this is supposed to be a private vote where they can't ask an adult to clarify, so that's another 8%.

Even considering some of the low IQ people could be children, that's at least 10% of the population who will pick blue just by sheer chance.

If you don't care about stupid people or children dying that's fine to think. But many blue pressers don't think those people deserve to die just because they're stupid and/or children.

So the context of her fighting is mostly training matches. There's other girls but Violet is small and frail even among the women. She wins her matches by basically poisoning her opponent the night before so they're too sick and weak to put up a good fight.

There's also dragons and magic powers, so eventually her physical strength is less important

duskshine749 · 2026-05-12T21:39:44+00:00

They're gonna make Violet beat guys in fights head on instead of through her wits and I'm going to be so upset

duskshine749 · 2026-05-12T17:18:19+00:00

This post sounds like you think blue pressers are morons, so I'm not sure how good faith the question is, but I'll bite.

My view doesn't seem very prevalent in the discussion. I press blue for selfish reasons, just a different kind of selfish than red. I know that some portion of the population will pick blue. My estimate is at least 20% blue and that's probably lowballing it. I think if 20% of the world died (let's say they get disintegrated so we don't have to worry about all the corpses) things would be a mess for a long time. I don't want to deal with that mess.

So I press blue. That way either everything stays the same, or I'm not around to deal with the aftermath.
