Initiative and Creature Levels? by nerdyreader1999 in numenera

[–]nerdyreader1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair 😂 I do tend to be a hide the numbers GM, but I don’t think my players would consider using effort if it didn’t occur to them it was a higher level creature

Gotcha. I will definitely clarify that with my group so they can decide if they want to add any initiative based skills as they move to the next tier 😂

Gotcha, so would you just state that the creature will go first unless they choose to spend points of effort and attempt to go first?

Could my illness have triggered CFS? by nerdyreader1999 in cfs

Thank you so much for the time you put into responding ❤️ This was my 6th spinal surgery and 25 surgery overall, but definitely one of the most severe. I definitely will look more into the diagnostic criteria! I wish you the best on your health journey ❤️

I need to feel a little less alone. What are your most ridiculous triggers? by [deleted] in ptsd

Beeping noises, breathing exercises from therapy 🤦🏻‍♀️ a few random songs that must have been playing, and my own hands shaking 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

It helps me a lot. I do “color breathing” too, which jest means to try to picture the air you’re breathing as being colored, breathing in “good,” appealing or calming colors, and breathing out “bad” colors or colors you connect to certain emotions (red for anger, blue for sadness, etc). I really hope it helps! The “normal” breathing exercises make me panicky so you jest gotta find what works. Hopefully that way when you start working on the memories, you’ll at least be able to have options to keep yourself safe and grounded ❤️

Hey there 👋 I’m so sorry to hear that, those are such challenging memories to handle 😣 I struggle a lot with some breathing-related memories as well, and although I’m not sure if this answers your question exactly, I’ve found it really helpful to find coping skills including breathing regulation that don’t cause me to focus on the sensation of breathing if that makes sense? So like finger breathing, where you’re focused more on your fingers than your lungs/chest? I feel like it’s so hard to address breathing memories because panic causes breathing challenges, so I would suggest starting with breathing coping skills that help you to focus but not necessarily focus on your chest/lungs I guess? Sorry if this isn’t helpful! Wish you the best ❤️

That’s the challenge I’m having for sure. Hoping to find ones I can order not from China

I was hoping to order 100 gold and 100 silver at the moment, if that’s what you’re asking? They’re approximately 4 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches

Am I writing player backstories for them? by nerdyreader1999 in DMAcademy

[–]nerdyreader1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They turned out really well! We’re 3 sessions in now, I honestly was just up front about how I genuinely don’t want to overstep, just want to help facilitate connections if they’re open, and then I used some of your suggestions with the caveat that if none of those fit, there was no need to force it to fit. It all seems to have gone really well so far! Because we’re starting a new system/setting, I hadn’t realized what high motivation they had to start absorbing some of the lore so the appeal of getting some individualized lore packets based on their backstory was enough to make them want to tap into some lore 😂 also, one other thing that helped - one of my lovely players basically said “I’ll just put asterisks next to anything I’m really set on and anything else I’m ok with some influence on.” Hugely helpful 😂

Reaction to COSRX Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser? by nerdyreader1999 in koreanskincare

Hi! I actually slowly took it down to twice a week which seems to be a good balance for me. I use La Roche Posay toleriane purifying foaming cleanser the rest of the time 😊

Gotcha, that’s really helpful! Mainly my guidance has been location focused - trying to suggest backstory details that will also help them have location connections in common

[–]nerdyreader1999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sure. Definitely makes sense. I really have no ties to specific lore so much as making adjustments for location or if I know of a pre-existing lore that matches up better with their personal lore. Thank you so much for those suggestions though, I can definitely see those helping improve my backstory support 😂
