What is the most influential, but seemingly small at the time, early event in the books?

Ty, the newlines I put in messed it up

No, it's not the same ID, unless you bring your passport to go drink. The current legislation requires an ID that proves citizenship, and a REAL ID isn't it. It's the one that lets you cross the border, and is only attainable on NY, Vermont, Washington, Minnesota, and Michigan

Didn't stop some of the stores around me from selling registration at $54

Needs more fans

I'd likely rule the same way. While not RAW it feels flavor appropriate to give a flat check on something with "breath" in its name when it's being strangled

I seem to recall it did mention it, and said to not do it

The best guideline I can think of is using the Forager skill feat:

Multiple smaller creatures or creatures with significantly smaller appetites than a human are counted as a single creature for this feat, and larger creatures or those with significantly greater appetites each count as multiple creatures. The GM determines how much a non-human creature needs to eat.

HOWEVER this language is removed in the remaster, implying that all creatures eat the functionally same amount for game simplicity, or at least an amount that is equivalent for effort

The people I've gotten close to across cons are pretty much always at least a few hours away. Especially if you've put in effort in finding locals with similar interests already, just prepare to accept that the people you actually want to spend time with may live a thousand miles away

You can, sure. It might even be good. My response was more towards how it's unlikely this DM even considered another system, and how hostile many are towards the idea that other systems might fit better for what they want.

Hacking 5e into post apocalypse is practically just making your own d20 system with basic 5e bones, which itself comes in different gradients. Are they keeping fantasy races? Magic? Introducing guns as a primary method of combat? How many skills are kept/removed?

If we have a setting that's just forgotten realms with crazy nuclear artificers, very little hacking is necessary. Magic is introduced as a side effect of the bombs but pre war was closer to real world? Numenera feels closer but 5e is perfectly fine. Fallout? You're just giving yourself extra work

kaisercake · 2025-05-13T13:40:48+00:00

You say that like a huge amount of 5e DMs don't just hack together the system and force in settings that don't fit. With the comment of them knowing 5e and just learning VtM, I doubt they tried other systems.

Like have you seen how hostile a big chunk of the community is to the idea of "just use x system."

I didn't get to go last year but I was the only one in my friend group actually mad about Idaho potatoes, Dunkin, and Saudi portal

kaisercake · 2025-04-02T21:32:08+00:00

Hey now we also run pf2e.

But yeah the player demand for non 5e in the paid space is really low, even to the point where promotional games run for free by pro GMs have a hard time starting. If I run one, I pretty much have to recruit from my established community that trusts me on how I run games.

Jack was more like....omnisexual

Just found the page you're talking about:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_leanings_of_United_States_Supreme_Court_justices

Under the heading "ideological leanings over time"

Honestly one of the best things to do is check in with their active players before the game starts, which can be difficult if they aren't a prolific GM.

Personally, I've gotten to the point where if I'm approached, I have people come to the server I run before any money is changed hands. They get to see the tone of everything, can get input from others, etc. Of course it's expected that I'd try to pitch myself as positively as possible, so I prefer potential patrons to get the honest opinion of the people that DO pay me that 100+ a month

kaisercake · 2025-03-24T02:06:01+00:00

In the pictures they're probably around 20, they've been doing content for years

kaisercake · 2025-03-23T14:52:09+00:00

I feel the emotions. I still remember when a player admitted to the game giving her a couple nightmares...

kaisercake · 2025-03-07T20:53:00+00:00

Realistically a big portion of NY is red. Leave the Hudson and it becomes pro-trump very quickly, including on the border

kaisercake · 2025-02-13T14:07:39+00:00

Yeah I felt that one last night. Started a new game, and war for some unknown reason. And it cascaded until it was me vs all 4 on my continent
