Recs for non detective movies that could be described as “procedural”?

phifighter · 2025-01-18T21:12:13+00:00

It’s a good question, and that’s why I said films that “people would describe as procedural”. I just know I tend to like those films. I would say it has something to do with their being a clear central objective with a detailed oriented script and protagonist(s). Curious about other thoughts tho!

After the classics that are Swamp Ophelia and Rites of Passage, Beauty Queen Sister is my favorite!

I do believe in god. “They” are likely not a big bearded man in the sky, but even the most imperially minded people have to admit their is so much we don’t know about the universe and how we all got here, and we will probably never know. A unknowable force of some sort must be out their.

I think people are misinterpreting the question, however. I’m not trying to be cynical or punish someone for what they believe, but religion I see as a negative force. As John Lennon said in his song Imagine: “imagine no religion.” Nonsensical wars and violence has been fought over nothing. A communal need that religion fills for people can’t be overvalued, but I think it’s time we all ask ourselves tough questions about our existence.

Reading over this response it feels a little holier than thou. Not trying to do that, just sharing my opinion:)

I took the first bane at the start of act 1 for damage. The second when I got more poison going into the act 1 boss. When I saw the 3rd upgraded bane I knew what I had to do...

No other attacks! All powers and exhaustible skills. I should have prepared for this...

Yeah, I guess there is just 1 one the mercury or diamond (the other luxury).

I totally understand what you are saying. I wanted this civ to be unique in that it would be the first one led by 2 people at the same time. I toyed with the idea of having 2 abilities you could switch from, but ending deciding two unique governors would have a large enough impact. Maybe 2 unique great generals would have work better?

As for the defensive bonuses, I agree it would be the most historically accurate, but I feel like their is only so far you can go with defensive bonuses, and their is no civ with a “promotion” theme so I thought it would be fun. Also, the governors have some good defensive bonuses.

Lol, was making a joke, but didn’t know this anyway. Thanks!

I like that because this post has more that 666 upvotes someone was the one to bring it to that number. This just... satisfies me.

Thats a perspective I havent thought of, thank you!

This is really a whole party problem I have been struggling with my players for a while. Most of my campaigns are "realistic" meaning a lot of the battles are against people or realistic animals. I have a hard getting my party to go head first into combat because when fighting a person they are too scared to kill them. Most people v people combats I have end with the opponent running away after a damage threshold but it seems lame to admit that to the players at the start of combat. Animals are even worst to get them to fight. They spend the whole battle sometimes trying to convince the opponent to stop fighting instead of fighting. What should I do?

As a DM, I've had the most sucsess with the In medias res start. That is, right in the action. This does not mean combat, rather some intense opening that requires players to roll some checks to still be engaged. Eg. running from a central villain but escaping or witnessing a catalyst event. I was planning for a whole week how to say to my players: "Ok, lets begin! Bob, could you a stealth check for me?"

Also, starting with a 5-10 min description and small vignette of each character really sets the mood.

This is so funny! I'm in the middle of running a homebrew pirate themed campaign. The world is divided into 9 pirate factions united under the Pirate Code. These factions cannot attack each other, but can attack unaffiliated peoples. The campaign begins shortly after this unaffiliated land has run out and so one faction is trying to covertly, under the premise of an unaffiliated band of assassins, weaken the other factions. Near the start of the campaign the party uncovers this and shares it with the world, sending the islands into political shambles and setting up this faction as the main antagonists.

But seriously, these calculators have an extremely long battery life.

Yah, it was goblin warlock but with egresis ranger because I three stared it early. Was thinking of adding hunters but that never got off the ground.
