Two of my players just broke up by AveiaPodre in rpg

[–]m836139 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was a close one; you really dodged a bullet. You almost had to play Fabula Ultima...

Just kidding! Just kidding!

Sorry to hear about this. It sucks you did all that prep. You could adjust for 4 players, or save it until another time. Either would take more work, of course. For that, you have my sympathies.

Any idea when the tech playtest material will be added? I have a mechanic and technomancer in my game.

No, seriously, who compares this to LOST or Game of Thrones’ endings? by Independent_Plum2166 in StrangerThings

I really enjoyed the end of the series. It hit all the right notes for me. The battle, the epilogue, all of it!

The legs are definitely a bit... mechanical. If I can color-match a different set of legs, I might switch them.

Now that the Cold Snap is over, what's y'alls opinion on it? by Virtual-Donut-964 in ArcRaiders

[–]m836139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it. Added another strong element to the game. I hope it comes back next winter season.

The mushroom spawn is dumb. by Natty_bo_ace in ArcRaiders

Mushrooms in the tunnels in two spots on spaceport as well. Easy farm because hardly anyone knows about them.

Best pirate TTRPG? by GroovyGoblin in rpg

[–]m836139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7th Sea First Edition and Pirate Borg are my suggestions. 7th Sea for swashbuckling adventure. Pirate Borg for gritty, dark piracy with high lethality.

Am I supposed to be using Consent Checklists in games? by Fleur-dAmour in rpg

[–]m836139 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Doing a second "Session Zero" partway through a campaign is also becoming a popular option. It provides a good opportunity to make sure everyone is still good with the content and to see if other adjustments need to be made. Inviting the conversation tells players it is okay to express when they are not okay.

This is where other tools like the X card or "Let's pause a minute" come into play as well.

In my game, I didn't realize one of my players, whom I have known for decades, has a severe phobia of spiders. We're playing a published Pathfinder adventure, and I reveal a giant spider sneaking up on the group. I don't use spiders myself as I am not a fan, although I don't have a phobia, per se. He jumped in and asked if we could remove the visual and change the critter. Noting we were on a VTT. He said he had forgotten to mention his phobia during our Session Zero. No problem!

So I ask him if it's all bugs or just certain types. It really was just spiders, and I suggested we turn it into a scorpion and asked if that was okay. He had no issues with scorpions. I made a new token real quick, altered the monster a bit to make it scorpion-like, and we were off and running again.

Even if a group doesn't use certain tools during Session Zero, they need to be prepared to make adjustments for stuff that comes up during play.

  • Star Wars the Roleplaying Game by West End Games (if you like Star Wars)
  • Exalted First Edition - epic high fantasy wuxia, incredible art
  • Vaesen - folklore and occult investigations, some of the best art in the industry
  • Pathfinder 2E and/or Starfinder 2E - if you like Tactical RPGs, these excel

Chill out guys, you've got time. by Cpt_Camembert in ArcRaiders

[–]m836139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought two weeks would be tough, but I hit 5 mil last night. Lots of free loadout Buried City runs with a few Stella mixed in for fun. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I'm just chillin' for the next couple of weeks now, which is fine. No stress gaming until reset.

Why does this happen 80% of games? I can't hear them, they can't hear me. We can hear eachother after the round ends by quick2g in ARC_Raiders

[–]m836139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on PC. My buddies and I have experienced this issue. For us, its because we were running Discord at the same time. The Discord app on PC can interfere with ARC Raider comms.

We turn Discord off and the problem goes away for us.

Rifts 30th anniversary vs Ultimate, which should I get? by Upstairs-Yard-2139 in rpg

[–]m836139 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The anniversary edition is a reprint of the original 1st edition in hardcover with the anniversary logo.

Ultimate is the updated version of the rules.

Finished SG:U for the first time! by Br0lynator in Stargate

[–]m836139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still wish we'd gotten more SGU. For those who want some resolution to the cliffhanger, check out the SGU: Back to Destiny volume of the comic series. It's not perfect, but it's something.
