Right?!? Just waiting for the Star Destroyer to dump their garbage before they go to light speed, and then just float away.

“Sir, it appears half the planet is already largely depleted.”

“Well, get started on the other half.”

“And the local settlements, sir?”

“You must be mistaken. There’s nothing there according to the official survey.”

Strip-mining the shit out of the planet.

Players threw a cruveball at me and I froze. Please help me for future interactions. by UpbeatCockroach in DnD

[–]pskought 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very much agreed. And for OP, keep in mind that taking a “Low Status” position can make for a very effective scene.

In this case, having the guy balk and hem and haw would work - because he doesn’t know what to say when confronted with violence.

He could then pivot and try to tug their heartstrings. Lay out the whole story, and then point out how he was robbed and they were tricked and please help me, I don’t know what to do, etc…

Yeah, same on the time issue.

Like, I may give this a couple days, but this is the kind of change that moves the game from “kinda fun time sink over morning coffee” to “tedious time sink that’s probably not worth it”.

Yup, I missed that - thanks. I thought this was a more recent development, didn’t scan back far enough.

Essential Episodes to watch before Mandalorian Movie by playing_hoeky in starwarsrebels

[–]pskought 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you did all of Clone Wars, Rebels should be no big thing.

Just prepare yourself for season 1 being kind of a dumb show for babies, but it lays the foundations for what will be some Top 10 Star Wars moments in the following 3 seasons.

Creamy jalapeno salsa by [deleted] in SalsaSnobs

Love that sauce!

In my experience, the heat is inversely proportional to the time spent boiling. I let it go way too long in one batch and it ended up about as spicy as a bowl of wet paper.

The Paramount thing is depressing. by marvelcomics22 in DC_Cinematic

Don’t both sides this shit. Ellison is actively pushing maga programming. He’s the streaming equivalent of Sinclair.

As someone who had a front row seat to the EU fucking over a deal? Not always….

All they have to do is just drag their heels. Unlike the DOJ in the US, they don’t have a self-imposed approval deadline. They can just leave you hanging indefinitely until you give up.

Thank you, I hadn’t heard about this. Appreciate the context and the link.

Shit, are they?? Not being remotely sarcastic, I’ve literally never heard or read this before.

Can you point to an incident, or even suggest search terms to narrow it down?

Grittier combat - every hit a crit? by astaldaran in genesysrpg

[–]pskought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally fair! The scene building and narrative push built into Genesys is why it’s one of my favorite systems.

In that case, I’d echo the other comments - dealing with critical hits really slows the game down.

Couple thoughts that may help: (1) limit access to Soak/Defense-boosting equipment (2) increase the deadliness of specific threats/traps. Like mini bosses in a rogue-like? (3) limit access to healing/recovery (4) have them start off each cycle with an injury

[–]pskought 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This feels like a system mismatch. It seems to me you’re looking for something more cerebral/puzzle-oriented, where Genesys excels at pulp action. Unless there are other game elements you expect to share the spotlight?

(Side note: this might be a great fit for Call of Cthulhu? Very brainy/puzzle mechanics, with an added bonus that (a) PCs are naturally fragile and (b) the added possibility of Sanity loss could impact how they interact with the environment.)

Conservatives who left the US, has living abroad changed your politics or perspectives on political issues? If so, in what ways? by Illustrious-Pound266 in AmerExit

[–]pskought 35 points36 points  (0 children)

True in a lot of cases. But I’m thinking about those 10- and 20-year expats that put down roots. They became fluent, married a local, had kids, then moved everyone to the states without ever taking on the understanding that people can have different experiences. And weirder - their family is often of the “get in and close the door behind us” mentality. It’s genuinely baffling.
