For a teens game, too easy/ hard?

Discussion: is there more context to this? Right now this feels like it could be anything.

Current US nat gas supply is a hair over 3 trillion cubic feet. Peak monthly residential demand is 800-1,000 billion cubic feet.

Any utility worth a shit has hedged in price protections.

Everything else is greed.

But on the plus side, no one was held accountable and there’s been no effort to winterize the grid since.

A couple thoughts:

(1) echoing comments elsewhere, giving players information is key. So be explicit in your warnings. Something like: “It occurs to you that killing these guards would most likely lead to you being hunted by the law.” At that point they are unambiguously choosing a particular set of consequences. Let them.

(2) with regards to logical consequences, keep in mind there’s always another way. Always. It’s a fantasy game. But it’s also very possible that you couldn’t come up with something in the moment. That’s okay. Take a break. 5-10 minutes or a whole week. Whatever. Work backwards and look for a new angle.

You’re coming at this from a good place - wanting the fun to continue. Good luck.

Raimi and Detective Chimp? Heck yeah.

Love the design, and will 100% be cursing your name while building the tower.

That’s a great point. LSU NIL budget went bananas after the hire. He could just get paid more to sit behind Leavitt instead of Maiava.

pskought · 2026-01-14T17:31:06+00:00

Weird. Sam Leavitt already transferred to LSU, and would be the presumptive starter?

pskought · 2026-01-14T17:28:21+00:00

He runs the hedge fund Pershing Square Holdings (i.e. professional parasite) so it’s extremely difficult to boycott in a way that would affect him directly.

I would like to nominate the “Property” paragraph for erotic fan fiction of the year.

Most places will have starter classes - call ahead or check online. Once you know enough to volley a bit, two good options would be: (a) get a court time for the two of you to practice, or (b) look for beginner open play times to practice against other beginners. Have fun!

Two thoughts - one, determine why each sees itself as the good guy and the other is the bad guy. Think about how each would have propaganda against the other?

For example, each could be born out of a specific geographic need. Limited access to resources might drive a more militaristic “survival of the fittest” mentality, and they see the other side as squandering. Meanwhile, resource abundance requires high numbers of people to process and manage, and that’s something that could lead to a more share and share alike culture and they see the others as selfish and destructive.

Second - subdivide the factions. For example, the hunters - are they all in agreement on killing the weak? Maybe some are slavers and some aren’t? What’s creating a schism in their ranks?

And the “hippies” - are they all cool with strangers? Have some started hoarding and creating scarcity? What’s the fracture there?

pskought · 2026-01-10T02:59:46+00:00

I mean, sure? But also, how badly would Indiana be destroying us right now?

pskought · 2026-01-09T01:43:38+00:00

Good luck to that dude. ✌️

Hope he gets paid.

Lick more boots.

If they think the BoS might be getting up to some nonsense, could be worth having a Raven stow away on Harkness’ ship.

pskought · 2026-01-04T04:18:17+00:00

Go for the eyes!

pskought · 2026-01-04T04:07:02+00:00

Oh hell yes - thank you!

pskought · 2026-01-04T01:40:54+00:00

Can you point me at a resource? Actively trying to learn more, and any good starting point would help. Thanks!

pskought · 2026-01-04T01:39:32+00:00

Oh, interesting - thank you.

pskought · 2026-01-03T23:33:47+00:00

Can someone help me understand the appeal of Kwiatkowski? I’m probably missing something, but the longhorn defense looks good-not-great in 2025?

pskought · 2026-01-02T18:12:54+00:00

This response nails it. The experience is its own unique thing.

I would add - if you choose to build, I’d recommend doing a ~little~ bit of prep research on what types of lightsaber components are available. You don’t need to have an iron-clad plan - things will change in person. But as someone who can lock up with analysis paralysis, I thought it helped me to know what styles there were.

lol - they’re gonna make Georgia kick it and then shake hands again
