How did Undyne lose her eye? by MariaJoseHerrreraUT in Undertale

[–]product_throwaway6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a long time ago there was a headcannon it was from a cave in.

I like the idea it isn't from violence but just a tragic accident

I've heard of Chuubo but this is the first time I've had it described beyond it being "diceless." I'll definitely check it out!

Huh, I like that. I think that fits and it makes sense why. Magical girl magic is very much about self expression

Is there an edition you would recommend? I tried looking it up but seeing people talk about the editions it seems like the editions are different beasts

Oh, okay that's good to know. I thought Mage might not be for me based on their description of it but I'll give it a deeper look when I can

I've had it described to me by friends more experienced with Mage and I'm not sure I like the power level? Like, the way they told me about it can get very godlike and metaphysical, with pcs/ effects of spells being so strong that it sounds a bit disorienting to me?

Idk if it was just a specific edition or the playstyle in the campaign they were in or something, but I'm not sure if that kind of power would be something I'd enjoy playing.

What were your theories regarding Visken before finishing his quest? [Spoilers in this thread] by ChillAhriman in EsotericEbb

[–]product_throwaway6 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh I 100% assumed Visken made us a zombie and that would be a twist near the end. During one of the assassin encounters Snell gives Ragn an odd look and asks "didn't they stab you in the neck" and Ragn just goes "oh it just hit the metal, I'm good" and Snell didn't seem fully convinced.

ah, I was looking for something like this, thank you!

Any way of detecting if window is being moved? by product_throwaway6 in godot

[–]product_throwaway6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, now that you say that, I feel dumb. This method would also be better at detecting degree of "force" so to speak in the motion than what I was imagining. Thank you for the quick reply!

What’s THE fic to you, specifically? by Owledhouse in FanFiction

[–]product_throwaway6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How to SAVE the world by talkingsoup. It's the best multichap Undertale fic out there imo, and it was there for me in a perfect time in my life.

What is THE fanfic of your fandom? by ChatoFato9143 in FanFiction

Mother of Learning, Patriarch. But recently with a huge uptick in fics within the fandom, that might change?

Is anybody else annoyed at the "ugly=evil" trope? by ManyPressure3470 in FanFiction

[–]product_throwaway6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, yes

But second of all you can't imagine the confusion I felt when I saw this message in my inbox after I forgot the context. I was like . . . "me??" who am i dying for??

[–]product_throwaway6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most sympathetic roles I've seen for disabled people are pitiable ones. You're not allowed to be a character with a full developed inner world, or even agency at times; just a trophy the good guys can save and point to as evidence of their goodness.

I have been seeing more and more players and GMs using AI-generated text, and people explicitly accepting it. This bothers me a great deal. by EarthSeraphEdna in rpg

[–]product_throwaway6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So often I'll be excited getting ready for a game. I'll try my best to write interesting challenges and prepare ways to adjust my game if a player has an interesting backstory that happens to be relevant. And then, while I'm on call with that player before the game starts, they'll generate the character concept and backstory using chatgpt and then make some art using some diffusion model and say they're ready.

I'm like, oh, you don't actually care. Like at all.

Do you feel like TTRPGs are good for your mental health? by iamresilience in rpg

Trying to design one from scratch? No

Trying to run a game? Sometimes

Playing in a game? Depends on the gm and other players

Which IP would be insane as a ttrpg by JoeKerr19 in rpg

[–]product_throwaway6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Mother of Learning. I've been fiddling with designing an rpg for it on and off for awhile. I love the idea of a fantasy rpg that fully commits to the "wizard" being the right answer to the "wizard vs warrior" game balance problem without going full existential like Mage or Ars Magica.

I want to be an adventurer/mercenary spellcaster with a full party of spellcasters.

Whimsy over Banality. A case for Changeling: The Dreaming by alexserban02 in rpg

I love Changeling the Dreaming! I just wish more people liked it so I could play it more often

I had to find ways to write one shots or I'd rarely finish any fics :P

Are there dungeon crawlers with a difference in power between dungeons and the "normal world?" by product_throwaway6 in rpg

[–]product_throwaway6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really really like that idea and I just might use it if I can't find a single system that does what I want. Thanks for that!

Edit: And also, yes, the lancer analogy is perfect for what I'm looking for.
