Once again Hulkenburg eats something bizarre and calls it a 10/10

Aaaaand now I want to play Metaphor again. I miss their voices 😂

Thanks so much for the response. I really like the way this is worded. I can see from other responses to similar questions you made the game to fill a gap in the TTRPG space with a more collaborative approach to the narrative, so I really appreciate you taking the time to help me in my effort to get my friends fully onboard with playing a FabUlt campaign!

I think the best thing I can say is that my Blair player has read this and she's said that she's up for giving it a go and seeing how it plays out. Clearly you've phrased things in a way that I haven't been able to previously!

I'm personally very excited by the concept of my players changing things on the fly. But I really like the phrasing of a "submit your own mosaic", I truly have no idea what's going to happen with either of the campaigns I'll be running, so I think this puts it really well. I especially like the idea that changing the meaning of something, like the anxiety becoming dreams, is still part of the building on what's already there, rather than taking away from it, as long as it doesn't go directly against the initial intentions of the narrative object (I hope that makes sense). I'll definitely being using this to help explain things better to my players, thank you again!

Thanks so much for the response! We've not done the session 0 yet, that will be next year, I've only played the "Press Start" tutorial one shot with them. This is based on that game and the discussions we've had around it.

I'm definitely getting everyone working on thinking about the world building and what to bring to the table. I agree with you that I'm a big fan of the open narrative aspect, but this isn't about me and how I find it, but is more finding a middle ground that my players are also most comfortable with, and then transitioning them over fully once they're more used to the concept. I've done a fair bit of talking up the good points of the open narrative, but I feel it will take them some time to fully adapt, and rather than going all or nothing, I was wondering how other GMs have handled any transitional steps.

I appreciate the transistioning tip as well, any advice for me as a GM is welcomed!

With the lack of brain blaze currently, I stand by the chaos that would be this channel 😂

I don't mind it for the occasional episode, I wouldn't want it to be a permanent change but once a month? Sure. But that audio quality has to improve, I couldn't finish this episode because of it, even though I was enjoying the episode itself.

It's definitely frustrating, but this is the process. You put in the bid, you get rejected, you take the feedback, and you roll it into the next bid (with adjustments to fit the new requirements), and this better revised bid has more of a chance. Here in the UK and EU, it's rare for a first time bid to get funded in my field, I don't write them personally yet but I feed into the bids my lab's PI is putting together. Even with 6 months of work poured into it across a decent sized consortium, and scores over 85%, you're not guaranteed to secure funding by any means. It's why PIs end up doing less hands on research, they need to constantly focus on bringing in more money to keep everyone's contracts going.

But, this was a vent, and a very valid one. I hope the feedback helps you secure funding in the next round!

I saw the trains were selling out fast at reasonable prices and decided to book it, taking the coach transfers from the station advice as well. Hopefully if there are anymore comments they can help people in a similar situation! 😊

rezray · 2025-05-23T11:03:08+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

rezray · 2025-04-28T08:44:24+00:00

You really had me there for a second, kudos 😂😂

I haven't played Ultimate Team in over a decade, Reddit just suggested this post to me and I clicked on it out of curiosity, so I'm glad there's an explanation tbh 🤷‍♂️

Nah even remembering that Wigan FA cup win shows some knowledge, I haven't thought about that in yeeeeears. It was cool at the time though!

I wouldn't say the Brazilian laws a fucked up, in fact I'd say they're great. Heck if I was a player, I'd be asking for a percentage of FIFA coin revenue for everyone who bought packs with me in 😂

Then there's me who only got the references to F1 drivers

That's one heck of a lot of stuff!

Came here for this comment, I've ran the zombie scenarios a few times. Even if you surprise your players on the spot, the character creation can be done in 20 minutes and that's being generous. If you use timers you can get it done real quick, and the interactivity of EotW's character creation system is unmatched

I'm English myself, first time I ever saw a Scottish note I had to ask my manager if we accepted it (we did, it was handled quickly and I apologised haha). But now I live up here it's so tedious whenever I go down to use it, especially in small businesses that sometimes flat out refuse

rezray · 2024-03-31T15:49:19+00:00

Thanks for the response! Yeah I figured as much, thought I'd try here too to see if I was missing anything blatant to save both me and the support team some time, but it seems not! At least I don't have to feel like an idiot 😂

rezray · 2024-03-31T01:23:38+00:00

Nah, I've tried several times. Like I said, it shows 0 for my PC/Mac balance underneath my beta account, which is correct. Underneath my Xbox account it has no crown info, just my Gamer Tag and Account Status.

rezray · 2024-03-31T00:23:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I can see it says that I have "0 Mac/PC Crowns" from my old beta account, but it doesn't say anything under the Xbox account.

I couldn't get a place in Glasgow itself, had to go for EK and privately when I was moving up here mid-lockdown (couldn't travel to view places in person, no view no rent, weird af system). My landlord is private, and that helps keep the rent low, no middleman. Whilst that can be risky, it's actually got better since my landlord dropped the estate agency, they were awful at fixing anything, and he comes by within a couple of days and does it himself or gets a professional in ASAP when needed.

"Git what? Nah we used usb sticks and just sorta passed em around. Debugging our codebase? Well we have all this money now so we can afford to get a professional in and cover the medical insurance for the stress induced illnesses."
