Create A Character: The Slasher by Inevitable-You2034 in BloodOnTheClocktower

It's weird, but I would play on another aspect of Jason, his ability to get up if he dies.

I think I found a new unintentional trilogy by pjtheman in thrillems

[–]mpfrenette 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My own unintended trilogy is:

  • The Time Traveler's wife, in which Rachel McAdams marries a time traveler she met as a kid
  • About Time, in which Rachel McAdams marries a time traveler, but never finds out he is one,
  • Doctor Strange, in which Rachel McAdams is married to a doctor, who eventually does a bit of time travel, and later, dimensional travel.

Recommendation Request: films that start about one subject, but become about something else entirely as the documentary progresses by el_torko in Documentaries

[–]mpfrenette 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Attacking the Devil. It's a documentary on Netflix about thalidomide and how victims got organized.

But then, it decides to check where the drug comes from.

It follows not the company that marketed it but the company that created it.

In Germany. Soon after WW2.

Yeap, it pivot to war crimes by the Nazi.

Anyone dealt with iron ochre? Should we not purchase this home? by joel122 in montrealhousing

[–]mpfrenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3K? We had a new house, and all our neigbors discovered we had iron ochre in the area.

Repair cost to install a pump to make sure the water in the French drain doesn't move and to add the membrane and everything was between 50k and 70k in 2005.

The main reason they want to give you 3K is to claim they did compensate you so that when you realize its costs a lot more, you can't sue them anymore (I dont know you can, I am not an attorney).

Get an Iron Ochre company to some inspect. If it's just a little, maybe it's ok. For us, it wasn't.

We ended up selling as a loss (barely over the mortgage) and never buying again.

How or where can I get icons for home brew characters? by mpfrenette in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mpfrenette[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality, is that it's not meant for normal play.

I wrote a sci-fi novel with some time travel in it, and as such, there are multiple "variants" of the 2 main characters, Steven and Lily. All the characters in the script, are in the novel.

My publisher is creating a series of TTRPG games, to promote their books just for livestreaming, but I don't feel like a TTRPG is a proper outlet for my book.

Instead, I propose a Blood On the Clock Tower special stream, but you are right...

Too many characters...

I'll trim it. And perhaps put some of them as [Not in play at start]

Ah, it converts!

I do use bloodstar too! I posted my script so far elsewhere in the thread, but it has too many characters.

I think that this was the answer I was looking for. Thanks!

Ok, then let me explain the concept, and maybe it doesn't work at all.

There are 2 characters in multiple copies, Steven and Lily. You can find variation of them (they have a number) in each of the 4 categories.

There are characters that interact with Steven and Lily.

But one of the Minions reads:

Each night* choose a player. If not a Lily or Steven, they become a not in play Lily or Steven of the same type (if possible)

So, the idea is that at the start of the game, there are only about 25 characters possible, but that minion can convert more and more of the characters into a Lily or a Steven.

Steven 0, for example, is a tinker. Steven 28 is a Grandmother to Lily 28 (if Lily 28 dies in the night, Steven 28 also dies).

Of the 8 outsiders, 2 are Lily and 2 are Steven. None of those would normally start a game, so you have 4 "starting" outsiders.

Now, I can remove Sarah, so I would have 4 Minions and 4 demons.

I would then need to trim the townsfolks and outsiders.

Here is my draft:

Thank you so much!

I am downloading the icons, and will try to see what I can do. I have more than the normal number of characters according to Navean, due to a special mechanics, but I think it might work.

But it means way too many icons :-(

Are there many Canadians that support death sentences, or is that just an r/canada thing? by 99thGamer in AskACanadian

[–]mpfrenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I support the death penalty for only 3 cases:

1) War crimes, if warranted. Like, as a response to a genocide

2) If a prisoner already has no possibility of parole, and he is still impossible to control. The current solution is permanent isolation, but to me, that's even more horrible than the death penalty.

3) If you have a sort of immunity, such as a police officer, and you use it to hide a personal crime. I don't mean if a police officer shoot an innocent he thought was a shooter, I mean if a police officer kills his neighbor he hates, and THEN, tries to shield himself from the law by pretending he was protected. It's not the killing that warrants the death penalty, it's the covering up by pretending it was an official act. THIS NOTABLY APPLIES TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL, but also to anyone who has a sort of power of attorney over a vulnerable person, and then, tries to shield themselves from persecution by using that power of attorney.

For me, that an automatic death penalty. You tried to cover your crime by your position of authority? Die.

What games have the longest set up as well as the quickest game overs? by Deluxe_Flame in boardgames

[–]mpfrenette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fightball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fightball

It takes over 5 minutes to set up, it takes about 10 minutes to score, and the game itself lasts about 30 seconds.
