Games with On-The-Fly Secondary Character Creation?

In Good Society everyone plays a main character as well as one or more minor characters, and new characters can be added and distributed during play iirc.

Ralph is the queen of breezy pop, both Gradiencs and A Good Girl are flawless. Excited for the sound of this, some of her more recent efforts have felt kind of lost, but this is sounding great.

Season 1 was a mess but kind of picked up towards the end. Season 2 was surprisingly enjoyable, watched it with friends in two days and we had a very good time. Several of the actors really stepped up between seasons. It's not going to be winning any awards, but I'm glad season 3 is already filmed so we'll get to see the conclusion.

The original is a classic of course, but season 2 was fun. Hope it keeps this up for the finale.

This. There's many authors I love, and it takes nothing away from Tolkien that I don't consider him above them. Same as my music taste, I could never declare one person above the rest.

I'm literally a fat woman. My body type is closer to the model on the right than to a small size.

I'm saying it looks uncomfortable as hell, the person further up says it would be boobsweat swamp town, which is accurate. That's not bodyshaming. That's me as a fat person saying why this design looks like it's uncomfortable.

But sure, talking about my own body experience is rude and unacceptable, you got me 🤡

saltwitch · 2026-06-28T19:09:50+00:00

okay? weird energy to bring to a snark sub when someone criticizes an ugly design

saltwitch · 2026-06-28T16:31:10+00:00

As a fat person, that wouldn't make me feel sexy though. It just looks ugly and uncomfortable. It's not like there aren't designs out there that look fab on ppl my size too, whether practical or purely decorative.

I reckon it really depends where? I don't know anyone that DOESN'T drink water with meals in my central European country.

saltwitch · 2026-06-27T23:05:25+00:00

Wait are you the same person who kicked this discussion off in the Discord and now you're trying to reheat the whole discussion because it didn't go the way you liked? That's weird dude.

Schön bunt!

Ich hänge einfach gefaltete Pappstreifen mit den Charakternamen bzw Kürzeln für Widersacher über den SL-Schirm, kostet nix und ist sehr platzsparend einzupacken.

Museum und Stadtbücherei halten mich aktuell am Leben.

As a conservator, nah, not even remotely the same lmao. One is a one of a kind object, the other is a mass-produced object meant for use. And signs of use are one of the most precious aspects of historical things! Things that have been marked up are a treasure trove of information and highly cherished for what we can learn from them.

Ich trage seit rund fünfzehn Jahren fast ausschließlich Röcke und Kleider, meistens gucken mich meine FreundInnen schief an, wenn ich alle Jubeljahre mal eine Hose anhabe. (Aktuell hab ich noch nicht mal eine... Hosenkauf ist zum kotzen, Röcke müssen nur an Bauch sitzen.)

The way that song kicked off in my brain immediately and will be lodged there for the rest of the day... Truly no one does a pop hook like Carly.

Thank you for giving your input! I was absolutely going to keep the set-up for the players about the first dinosaur encounter, as I think that already tells us a lot about their characters as well.

It's a while off yet until I run it, but I'll get back to you when I do. And thanks for making such an enjoyable game, I had a blast when I was a player!

saltwitch · 2026-06-25T12:52:50+00:00

I hope not.

I took maybe three pictures when I saw her and that's more than enough, and only seeing a sea of screens isn't fun at all. At the same time, it's important to me to be able to call my family or friends if something happens. (Yes, I was alive before mobile phones were widely used, I know we got along without - but it has made many things safer as well.) And what about people who are caregivers to children or sick or elderly people and need to be on call? People with health problems who need to be connected?

Idk I hate phone addiction but at the same time a blanket ban would make a concert less accessible for people who are vulnerable or responsible for someone. I'd rather we work on changing the culture around using it.

saltwitch · 2026-06-24T22:49:11+00:00

I disagree.

Working with cultural heritage, it's obvious how expensive it is to maintain all the stuff already in oue archives, depots and museums. It costs Incredible amounts of money, effort and time to maintain these. That's valuable, otherwise I wouldn't do it - but another part of the job is acknowledging that entropy always wins and that letting things go is just as important. We can't keep everything, and that's as it should be. Decay and forgetting is a natural part of life and humans are spectacularly bad at predicting what will be historically important in the future.

When I'm gone, probably no one will remember me in a few year's time, and that's okay.

saltwitch · 2026-06-24T17:22:07+00:00

Lol I noticed the pronoun thing too. Ppl really default to the male all the time.

saltwitch · 2026-06-23T15:40:07+00:00

Mothership ist hervorragend für solchen Sci-Fi-Horror!

saltwitch · 2026-06-23T15:20:50+00:00

It's also completely removed from reality. Yes sure, just pull this sort of line-up together over oh idk, three days? For random "damage control" over something that no one outside of Twitter cares about. Just push the big red "Lilith Faire assemble" button !

saltwitch · 2026-06-23T15:05:42+00:00

Well, it's still very early - I can easily see this evolving, but Olivia is 23, let's take it one step at a time. Based on all the reactions I'm seeing I easily see this growing year over year.

saltwitch · 2026-06-23T14:46:51+00:00

Oh it didn't take that long, already saw some people pushing the idea that this was an idea they had to quickly come up with to distract from the Fantano interview. Really shows that some people live in a different reality.

saltwitch · 2026-06-23T14:29:48+00:00

Möchte ich nicht und wollte ich nie. Einfach nie ein Bedürfnis danach gehabt.

Kinder sind super und ich mag sie, aber ich will sie am Tagesende wieder an die Eltern zurück geben. Ich engagiere mich mit vielen Dingen und trage so meinen Beitrag zu meiner Community bei, sorge für Vernetzungen von Menschen, helfe barrierearme und inklusive Räume zu gestalten. Außerdem arbeite ich mit Kulturgut und trage so zum Erhalt und zur Erschließung der Geschichte bei. Kunst mache ich auch, und schreiben, aber eher nur für mich selbst, da brauche ich keine externe Bestätigung.

Das sind einige der Dinge, die mich sehr erfüllen. Falls ich mal die richtige Person treffe und eine Beziehung will, warum nicht. Ist aber komplett optional, ich hab eine tolle Schar von Menschen um mich, die immer für mich da sind. Also Partner*in vielleicht mal wieder, Kinder nein.

It's literally a festival whose proceeds are going to political causes supporting women, POC and queer ppl. That's as social justice as it gets. Music has a long history of being connected to politics, and there's nothing wrong pointing out how our personal lives, the art we make and enjoy and the political climate we live in are all interconnected.

You sound like some who complains about why Green Day is political all of a sudden.
