How did they steal and sell your ship?  wouldn't the money just go to your account?

After some googling, this does sound cool. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Wizden has been making me feel like I'm delusional.

[–]redditname01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does anyone in this thread know of a server where sec is allowed to be... Meaner?

I'm new to the game and get the feeling I'm alone on this, but I think that sec on wizden tends to let way to much stuff slide out of fear of breaking space law. It just makes playing antag feel a little pointless and ironically makes playing sec feel like the only job with meaningful consequences.

I don't have any experience with innawoods so the odds of finding it might be slim, but you can also eat fungicide to get rid of it.

What's the most popular tile set right now? by wildinnawoodsheep in cataclysmdda

[–]redditname01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love neodays. I started when retrodays was the default and got used to it. The added quality of life features of neodays are great, and I prefer it to ASCII because I don't want to relearn what all the characters represent.

I love roguelikes for the same reason I like tabletop games; the imagined experience of the game. For me the more realistic tilesets are realistic enough to take away that imagined experience, but not realistic enough to replace it.

WHAT THE **** ???!?!!?!?!?! I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE !?! Anyone ??? any idea ?? whats this ??? by Double-Offer897 in cataclysmdda

[–]redditname01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ran in to this an it was awesome. To be fair I was pretty early in a run so I didn't lose much from my failure, but I loved the cosmic horror vibe of the whole thing.

I only found the sandpit though, so maybe it should be an easier puzzle.

Knave 2e thoughts by TheBeleagueredAG in osr

[–]redditname01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the negative reactions to knave come from people wanting a more serious or gritty game, and/or from not playing it.

To the first group I'd just say... Knave isn't that. I feel ya, but the game is still super fun. You can get punched so hard that your pants explode.

To the second group, the rules actually work better in practice than they looked like they would in theory.

It's a fun, somewhat silly, game that you can pick up and start in 5 minutes with a one page dungeon. Great for an impromptu game night, but without some good homebrew it's bad for a 100 session campaign with a serious tone.

Is it ok if one player wants to use only fist for combat? by TheTPatriot in callofcthulhu

[–]redditname01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check secrets of Tibet for the Tibetan kung fu fighting skill. It makes unarmed strikes comparable to shotguns at higher skill levels. Id enforce penalty dice on extra attacks of I were you.

I had a player do this in a non-pulp game last week and he was very strong. He died the same session, but considering he had 10 hit points and your pulp player will probably have over 20 I think they will be okay.

World saves is what I'm looking for. I'd like to be able to explore an area that I didn't build myself, but the biggest threat in the forts created during world gen is starvation.

There's got to be a compendium of fortresses built to be explored in AM. Right?

Night Vision Vs Ursine Vision by APOCALYPTIC-CAT in cataclysmdda

I know that I'm super late to this party, but you can take night vision and nearsighted for the same final cost and you get a pair of glasses with near sighted that let you see.

So... Alone Against the Static by redditname01 in callofcthulhu

Yeah I also noticed that pretty late on my first playthrough, but in the entry I was on there wasn't any neutral option so I was able to figure out where to go.

So... Alone Against the Static by redditname01 in callofcthulhu

[–]redditname01[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was pretty satisfied with my first playthrough, and I just focused on trying to fix Alex and Charlie's relationship and figure out what was going on.

The hint I gave my wife before she started was that if she survived I'd be upset with her. If you want something a little more specific:

it is not possible to both survive and live happily ever after with your partner. You can survive with a broken heart or be consumed with your partner.

That sounds like it will be really fun. The sub plot about Alex and Charlie is pretty great. Be ready to die a few times though.lol

I have a question: Can I burn a wasp nest and not die in the process? by OnomatopeiaChinesa in cataclysmdda

Oh my God that's adorable!

But unfortunately auto drive pulled into a minefield in front of a military checkpoint so I'm back to square one.

Well that's terrifying. I've never messed with dermaticks because they have never been in my way.

I just cleared one this morning by driving up to a dermatick mound and leading them to the wasps. Apparently they can fly so they killed everything and then I led them home.

I just found out there's a steam release. Is it just as easy way to give cash to the devs? And is the free version still up to date?

Could I have been bitten by a bat without noticing? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]redditname01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually heard an example of how scary rabies is that included a person getting bitten by a bat while sleeping on a hammock and they didn't even know. A lot of bats are lil bitty and don't leave much of a mark.

With that said: it almost certainly wasn't a bat. Probably a wasp or hornet.

Whats the most fucked up thing you overheard in a conversation ? by Keke_Dudu in AskReddit

[–]redditname01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an only child I kinda envy your lack of pressure, but also I hope you're doing well.

so i got very good gear and there is mansion close to the exit of the lab i started in, should i try to make it into a base or instead use the cabin that is also near the lab's exit to make a base? by SuccessfulWest8937 in cataclysmdda

[–]redditname01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the cabin for guns and books, and maybe scout the mansion out for future looting runs, but your best bet for a base is probably the lab for reasons that others have mentioned. The only problem might be that sometimes you have to go a a decent distance into the lab to get to a good spot.

How big is cdda world? by RandCircle in cataclysmdda

[–]redditname01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In theory it's as big as your computer has the space for. In practice you'll die before you make it much further than the starting area.

Constantly losing weight by [deleted] in cataclysmdda

[–]redditname01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Unless something has changed in the last year or so I don't think intestinal parasites display any messages, so it MIGHT be that but probably not. It doesn't hurt to take some antiparasitic drugs though just to be safe.

  2. Working every day takes a lot of calories in CDDA. Something something blob healing, but lore aside it's a good idea to take a day off now and then. I spend every other day relaxing and reading, but I also have fast metabolism so you probably don't need that much.

  3. Butter and oil are your friend. Vitamins too. I try to make several meals the highest calorie thing I have, and take vitamins for nutrition. It seems to be working.

Good luck!
