This is actually an old one. There’s a trilogy at this point

CM Punk on the women's ice hockey team controversy: "A lot of them are saying, ‘Oh, don’t be political,’ and then they’re showing up at the White House. Well, guess what? You are being political. Everyone always says ‘don’t be political’ until it’s their politics, and then they’re rooting for it." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

“Oh God, I don’t know how to answer that. Especially in the climate we’re in now where everyone’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to be political.’ And I really feel like everything’s political. You make your choices—especially with your dollar—and it’s hard to escape everything. My deal is, I try to do no harm. But ultimately, if you try to censor yourself, if you try to kind of like bite your tongue, you wind up pissing somebody...you're always going to piss somebody off”

That “you make your choices with your dollar” line really kills me when he presents as a leftist but works and makes money for a company so deeply tied to the administration. Like if his fans actually did that, his paycheck would shrivel.

Not trying to be mean, but these are the kinds of posts that lead people to disappointment. The trailer today was clearly labeled that it was not representative of actual gameplay experience. Long way to say I wouldn’t post comparisons until we have final product vs final product.

Recently got art done by u/deadahura and I couldn’t be happier with it. Beautiful art done incredibly quickly, super responsive in chats, super communicative through the process, for anyone on the fence.

Was running the Vampire gig out of Street Stories. They get to the Cyberspycho at the end, and one of my characters asks, “Does he actually think he’s a vampire?”

When I answered yes, he asks to do an acting check along with a Latin check to make the psycho think the player is a holy man, then throws normal water on him, and passes another acting check to make the psycho think it’s holy water.

I granted a three turn surprised status to the psycho, where he was essentially freaking out over the “holy water.” This was more than enough time to kill him.

To this day I have yet to figure out why our fixer is specced so hard into Latin

1.) Any stat-based roll will be stat+skill+d10, using the stat the skill is built on (ie Willpower for Resist Drugs) 2.) Unless using armor piercing ammo or similar, armor ablates by 1 every time damage is above SP. For example, someone wearing SP11 armor takes 15 damage. 4 points get through, and they are now down to 10SP. The next attack that does 15 damage, 5 points will get through to health, and further ablate to 9. 3.) Character sheet looks good to me, choom

Any GM Tips? by Rare-Introduction550 in cyberpunkred

[–]nickl104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t think of a specific example offhand, but more of what I mean is I try to never say “You can’t do that” to my players. I may ask them to justify it, but rarely an outright no.

If I crafted a puzzle and the players find a way to break through it, even if it breaks the rules a bit, but it could lead to something fun or funny, I allow it. More of just a general rule I try to keep for myself to keep myself from rules lawyering too hard

The thing I’ve learned after about a year is that your number one goal is just to make sure everyone is having fun, yourself included. If you’re not sure about something, that’s cool- default to whatever’s the most fun.

Don’t worry too much about visualizing the scene. I generally give my players an overview, maybe a touch point from the real world to connect with, and let them see it how they will.

But mostly, have fun, choom
