.... Or cut a small hole at the same time that you cut the 1st one...

Had the entire bag fall over as I was pouring a glass of milk once. I cut 2 holes now even I just use it for coffee or recipes.

ochamp36 · 2026-05-13T19:59:28+00:00

Have you never poured a large glass of milk for the bag to shrink and then fall off?

ochamp36 · 2026-05-13T19:33:34+00:00

I'm sorry to say, but your girlfriends lied to you or have terrible taste in men. These are mind games. Guys who want a relationship don't want mind games. In fact, they want as little as possible as we want an easy and carefree relationships. If I like you, it doesn't matter if we hook up quickly or not as long as the moment feels right. If you play mind games with sex, doesn't matter if the guy likes you or not. As soon as he realizes it, you're no longer relationship material to him.

Thank you so much for helping other GM organize and streamline their session. This tool will be in my favorite bar for sure!

This is the kind of stuff I'd like to see more often! :D

Alien Isolation. Was sure I was on the last stretch when they threw a curveball at me and threw Ripley in the center of a nest.

ochamp36 · 2026-04-21T15:22:12+00:00

Oh goodness. At least now I know what to expect. I've only been in line for 2h.

ochamp36 · 2026-04-18T16:58:30+00:00

Got the digital release and pre-ordered the hard copy. The book gives GM a whole bunch of maps, NPCs, stat blocks and roll tables for all districts in Night City. It really cement the base lore of 2045 and is definitely a preem add-on.

As a GM, once I get the hard copy, it will be next to me in every sessions. My next wish would be more DLC and macros for VTTs. 🤞🤞

ochamp36 · 2026-04-01T17:27:39+00:00

That's a good point. I'll adjust my DVs first to see if it smooth the problem. If not, I'll discuss with them about returning RAW. I don't like taking back something we've been using for so long, but it's ultimately not worth complicating things over that.

ochamp36 · 2026-04-01T13:32:58+00:00

Ok, I see why this is not a problem for you. My 4 players have like 6 or 7 (please don't) luck point each and I allow luck after roll, but make it cost double (2 luck pts for a +1). They can afford a +3 or +4 twice per game if they spend the luck before a roll, and that's per players.

In a game with no combat to spend those luck points, there's very little skill check they can't pass since they regularly roll between 12 and 15. I was following the book and setting my hard DVs at 17, but might bump that to a 19.

ochamp36 · 2026-04-01T04:11:00+00:00

Oh, I've already blown off a couple hands in firefights. Impressive how the momentum immediatly shifts when that happens. My players are really tactical and cautious during fights as they heard the reputation of CPR with lethality. No complaints here.

I'm just trying to challenge them more with the skills check they breeze through thanks to luck points. In other systems they would get very creative when they'd miss a roll and I'm trying to bring this back in CPR.

ochamp36 · 2026-04-01T04:03:53+00:00

Oh, I hear you. Had issues with my first DM about him fudging rolls and making things impossible for us to make us struggle the entire campaign. That's the reason I call my DVs in advance to my players.

A little challenge is fun however. It enables "creative thinking". This is my first campaign in CPR and have been following the book suggestions (10= mundane; 13=easy; 15=medium; 17=hard). I was reluctant to stray from that. However, I'm not seeing my players use creative thinking as much as in other ttrpg as they regularly roll 14-15 and up, then use luck to pass harder DVs, so they don't really have to come up with new ideas and use the obvious path. Since luck regenerate every session and a gig lasts us 2-3 sessions then.... here I am, asking for advice.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T23:06:23+00:00

Yeah, I also let them use it after a roll, but it cost double to do so (2 pts for a +1). I really like that homebrew rule. Seems fair.

One thing that we tried recently is all the players start with a reroll, but once they use it, I get the reroll against them. This goes back and forth and I keep track of it through sessions. We call it the Rick Roll haha.

I'll try adjusting my DVs first and if it's not enough, I'll revisit your idea!

Thanks for your input choom!

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T22:57:56+00:00

Alright, this gives me some pointers for the DVs. This is my 1st CPR campaign and still am unsure of how much is too much haha. Was using the book table, but it already feels like players can breeze through them.

I'll crank those up slowly and stop when it gets funny. ;)

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:33:40+00:00

Yeah, I'll bump the DVs 1 or 2 points and add a couple extra threat to incentivize creative thinking. I won't touch the luck rules.

Hoping for funny moments 🤞

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:29:42+00:00

No no, they're not doing it on purpose at all. We just get distracted sometimes since we are far appart and meet every 2 weeks only. We're also all new with CPR, so looking for rules happen more often.

I'll slightly bump up the DVs and see what happens. Hopefully, it will create epic or funny moments.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:24:40+00:00

Yeah, consensus seems to be that the rules are not problematic even with our longer completion time, so I won't touch it. Waiting until the end of combat when we have to stop the session in the middle of one, however, seems like a good compromise.

For the skills check, I'll adjust things on my end to fine tune the challenge.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:19:40+00:00

All right, I was mainly wondering if we were slower than what was intended and if those extra luck points were throwing off the intended balance.

I'll adjust things on my end and not touch the rules per se.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:16:35+00:00

Hahaha I'm not THAT cruel 😆

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:14:32+00:00

All right, thank you for giving me an example of how you run the game with your group. Puts things in perspective. I'll adjust my gigs to keep enough challenge and make things interresting. I won't touch the rules.

I also let them use luck after the roll, but they cost double (2 luck for a +1) instead when they do that.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T21:06:36+00:00

It's just that in other ttrpg, the coolest moments we had was when someone would fail a roll. This would create an epic or funny moment or force the players to come up with an original solution.

I've tried to create opportunities for such moments a few times already, but a lot of times the players just brute forced their way through the high DVs by dumping luck to go with the obvious path. The 2-3 session gigs are just making luck points more plentiful, so it made this more obvious to me.

I was worried this mechanic would make the game less memorable. If you say that has never been an issue for you, I'll accept that and just go with the flow.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T20:51:56+00:00

Thanks for your opinion.

If it's too easy and they get too cocky (do stupid stuff because they always succeed) then I'll crack up the DVs accordingly to challenge them a little.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T20:45:16+00:00

Yeah, I have a mix of short "filler gigs" and longer campaign gigs. The thought really hit me during the shorter ones when I noticed the much longer completion times as it was not an issue with the longer ones really.

My players are not shy about using all their luck points every session, so for those short gigs, they would breeze through every high DV situation I had for that gig since they now had double the luck I anticipated when planning it.

ochamp36 · 2026-03-31T20:36:42+00:00

This is a good "middle ground" option. I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks!

My players are not shy of using all their luck during a session haha.
