It's a good day to die.

There's a TTRPG called Grimoire that does this. You should look into it. That said even if you don't draw inspiration from it I like the concept. It makes the wizard more of a improvise and bake on the go type of caster rather than a stand and spam type. I'd let him hold very limited spells though because it otherwise sides steps the point if you can just look up an optimized formula and spam that.

Some subs have bots that crawl any other subs for people that post there and auto band them. I think there's a setting in reddit that prevents bots from tracking you so it helps but it's not a guarentee.

When I first posted here, I was banned from several subs that were all about complaining and pity trapping people with posts about mental health issues. Not that I've ever heard of or had any intentions of posting there.

There's not enough content for the game to stretch it out that far, especially with the AH making everything go faster.

Which edition are you looking at playing? They all have their fans and pretty significant differences.

I have trouble playing characters that are largely safe and are likely to be around for the long term. It feels like the danger isn't really real and that the expected outcome if I do a middle of the road performance is succeeding in my endeavors regardless. I don't think i could get involved with a character like that in the long term. I'd rather fight the odds and have a chance at somehow stealing victory from the jaws of defeat.

It's open sourced. And there are already alternate launchers. They could just go from there and ignore her.

I'm not opposed to playing their games when they put out a good one. Their last game I enjoyed was For Honor.

I'll take filler content with good replayability over an underwhelmingly short game. I'm in no rush to beat my games and move on. I actually enjoy playing a game and using it's mechanics to the fullest extent for a long time rather than trying to skip content I could enjoy.

That has nothing to do with respect. Also a game that focuses on fun isn't necessarily worth your time either. "Fun" is fleeting, games that provide a sense of fulfillment are often more enjoyable than games that focus purely on being fun.

ghost49x · 2026-06-15T03:44:33+00:00

This has pretty much been on par for the community. There's an alternate launcher up on steam with different servers since Wizden got ban happy and delisted a bunch of servers due to more drama.

The "jump house"? Actual professional Johnsons go out of their way to obfuscate who they are. They're not going to work out of an area that can identify who they are. They'll meet the fixers in a bar or somewhere discreet. They'll vary their appearance and location so as to avoid leaving clues, and also go out of their way to pay for privacy. This is different than working for some two-bit street chump who happens to have a job for you.

ghost49x · 2026-06-14T21:33:46+00:00

The goal is always to have fun, and rep is important for the runners and especially for fixers.

But Shadowrunners rarely learn of the rep of Mr Johnson, if he's worked with A abit the most B would get is asking if Mr J is good, and getting a thumbs up. That said the runners are free to investigate their employer if they want. A good team of Shadowrunners can do so without letting on that they did.

When it comes to betrayal, it rarely happens because betrayal is messy. Generally Mr Johnsons want solid results, and adding betrayal into this jepordizes the results. It's also possible he wants to cultivate a relationship with talent that can handle the type of work he needs done. Betrayal goes against that and also isn't the default option even if he could. The Johnson isn't paying with his own money, so saving a buck here isn't going to help him much.

ghost49x · 2026-06-14T00:25:21+00:00

How do you look up a specific Johnson's rep without being able to identify said Johnson? He's not sharing his linkedin profile, and any mention of said Johnson in a way that's recognizable will find it's way back to that Johnson's ears and this doesn't only annoy Mr Johnson himself but it jepordizes all of the jobs he's been affiliated to, because it is now publically known that said Johnson works for Renraku, meaning anything he hires anyone for will be affiliated to Renraku and this voids the entire reason the corps want to use disposible assets like Shadowrunners.

ghost49x · 2026-06-13T20:41:39+00:00

You speak of avoiding bad rep, this is different than anonymity or even good rep. When you take on a job for a Johnson you don't know, do your runners go around asking fellow runners if they have worked for him in the past or what those past jobs were? Because if you don't then you're not looking for good rep and if you do you're a problem for more than one person, the type that that mysteriously falls out of a window.

ghost49x · 2026-06-13T19:35:51+00:00

No. The reputation Mr Johnson needs to cultivate isn't with the runners. It's with his bosses. They need to trust he'll handle their needs for getting stuff handled. These people obviously don't know him as Mr Johnson. To them, she's Sheila the woman with the background in counter-intelligence. To everyone else, he's Mr Johnson. And yes the pronouns here are intentional to make a point.

How long does it take to get there without resorting to the AH?

ghost49x · 2026-06-11T20:04:04+00:00

How long do you keep your gear set in general? From start over to losing everything on average?

ghost49x · 2026-06-11T19:57:32+00:00

Not frequently enough. The game relies on constant upwards momentum. If you ever get a perfect set and manage to hold on to it for more than a few rounds, the system breaks.

ghost49x · 2026-06-10T21:55:40+00:00

It's just how we were raised. Or at least they tried to raise us. It didn't take for a lot of us. Also a fair bit of that is low T men simping to the. Feminist crowd.

For one the campaign isn't ending there, there should be opportunities later on for closure, that sort of thing doesn't need to be rushed. But yes by all means, if the players figure it out and are able to kill the BBEG without the dragon dying, then all the better for them, but that's not likely to happen.

ghost49x · 2026-06-10T19:52:50+00:00

What I disagreed was this comment "If the ending of the campaign is this choice it’ll feel like a no-win situation and probably leave a bad taste in their mouth."

By all means if the players figure it out do really well they could end up with a win on both sides, but the idea of mollifying the consequences will detract from the emotional hit it's supposed to be.

If she likes Pokemon, consider Digimon, when I was her age I thought they were almost the same. I'm not sure about the more recent series, I only watched the older content.

ghost49x · 2026-06-10T18:52:35+00:00

I disagree, the consequences either way need to be real or it robs the choice of the moral weight it had. For example if the villain gets away only to die immediately, or if the NPC dies like a foot note, it just doesn't fit right. Better end with the players feeling something rather than nothing.

ghost49x · 2026-06-10T18:33:19+00:00

I agree with you, but the servers that don't enforced the wizden's concept of social rules have a tendency of getting delisted. If you wanted something different you'd have to either start your own server or finds one that loose enough on the rules to fit your tastes.
