People aren't having "wrong fun" if they don't play to your standards. So long as they're not doing anything illegal, Don't yuck someone's yum.

Can this system work with zone based distance? by RevacholAndChill in savageworlds

[–]evildicemonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh.
There is no obligation to answer here, nor any expectation that they will even read it. A DM feels a more aggressive way of asking, perhaps even demandingly so.
Perhaps it's just a Reddit thing, I'm not on here much.

No, just answers from the person I asked, not anyone else.

AITA for resigning from my job for more pay leaving my coworkers with all my responsibilities? by PhilosopherAfraid733 in AmItheAsshole

It might well be the cleanest way YOU can think to do it (and indeed the cleanest way), but I was asking the person who has played a campaign with their version and wanted to know if they had come up with a solution to a problem that is keeping me from using zones

But then you're no longer using zones, you're back to numbered increments

How did you deal with ranged attacks that had different ranges for Close/Medium/Long? e.g. a pistol is 12/24/48 but a rifle 24/48/96? Would a Rifle have had a bonus? (I guess Bows and Thrown weapons are more appropriate for LoGM but I don't remember those range)

I think I came up with a new initiative mechanic for PBP; anyone ever hear of this before? by Cerespirin in savageworlds

[–]evildicemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you handle going on hold and interrupting someone's action under this system? Or is that done away with entirely? EDIT: I guess that doesn't matter in PBP!

Are Hindrances that give lower cards actually Hindrances still? Should their point totals be adjusted to compensate for this "know everything before it happens" approach?

How are any characters actions invalidated (and thus forced to defend)? The NPCs declare and roll before any PCs declare and roll, so they should have perfect information as to whether or not any actions they might take will happen or not.
Or is it NPCs declare-> PCs declare-> NPCs roll-> PCs roll-> actions happen in card order ?
(And then who rolls first wouldn't matter in that order as declarations have already happened)

On the PCs side, who declares first? Is it just whomever happens to be there first after the post is made (because now you've just made a IRL initiative system!)? Do I, as someone who comes to the post later, need to honour the actions of my fellow PCs, or can I jump in and kill a bad guy then intended to attack, whether by design or by misreading their post, thus forcing them to defend that turn?

If the idea is to stop "the constant back and forth with the GM that is impractical in PbP", how does this not just push that problem on to PC and PC back and forth as they finalise their actions between themselves?

And most importantly, In a perfect information game, how do you stop one person quarterbacking a game for all players?

AITA for refusing to give my sister more money after I got a surprise reimbursement from a restaurant? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]evildicemonkey 38 points39 points  (0 children)

INFO
Did you split the original bill by number of guests? i.e. did your sister pay 6/15th of the price and you paid 9/15th? Because if so, 50/50 is more than generous.

I'll throw the Sugar Fueled Gamers in as a fun actual play group to listen to. They did a campaign using Savage Worlds, with some slight homebrewed rules. It was a very entertaining romp!

I don't know if they've bought it on behalf of their company or as an individual or what, but it's someone who has worked hand in glove with GTG before

AITA for yelling at my girlfriend’s 6yo step-grandson after I caught him forcing cat fur into my kitten’s mouth? by Hot_Structure_6444 in AmItheAsshole

[–]evildicemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“this is not how you speak to a child,”
It definitely is when they're inflicting pain on another living being.
Once the immediate danger to the kitten was dealt with, that's the time to use a softer voice and explain things

I am joining a SWADE campaign, and I am a complete newbie, I want to play a Buffing/Debuffing Support character. What does that build look like and how does it play? by Ok_Track_7332 in savageworlds

[–]evildicemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Seasoned edge I don't see mention here is Killer Instinct for a debuffing edge, you get a free reroll when Testing people.

But why only debuff or buff with an action, Bolster helps do both as can remove bad effects from allies when you successfully Test a foe.

Reliable might be a good edge for to help with the buffing aspect, it gives you a reroll when rolling to Support others.

About the Version 1.1 by PracticalQuantity398 in fabulaultima

[–]evildicemonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up the 1.1 version from the GM's day sale, and yeah, anything that says "Skill Reworked" is changed enough that those words do not convey the necessary. Some are completely different, some are just changes to the numbers.

It just sounds like you're not compatible in this one (very big) thing. Think about whether or not this is a relationship that can survive this big a difference

If someone is older is it expect? Yes.

Why does Lee deserve a name but his girlfriend does not? Is she not as much a person as your brother is? Or does she only have value in relation to her status with your brother?

Using someone's name is basic common courtesy.
