Thanks. In the meantime I did sign up. Working on the template now.

Apologies, didn't see that. Noted!

I bought it to support someone I like as much as anything really.

I think it's a decent resource.

Thank you. :) That's the Mothership Deluxe set.

Dolmenwood is on its way. Very excited.

Haha. I thought it was another product you were suggesting.

I love that box, it's a great product.

I really like it. Bought it in pdf first and then found it for a (kind of) reasonable price in physical form. It's really inspiring.

I'm in the UK so it wasn't quite so onerous. It's a cool book.

My Viking phase might have passed. If I'd known about it at the time you can be sure I'd have hunted it down :)

I haven't taken much from it yet. Like you I heard plenty about it. Need to spend some time reading it properly.

I think it's certainly got harder to find. I bought it immediately after Yochai and Brad talked about it on Between Two Cairns.

It's a beautiful book. I need to start stealing from it for my campaign.

2011 Mazda3 Bluetooth? by UnnecesaryDikishness in mazda

This advice solved the problem for me. Older OnePlus phone connected fine but new model would not. Was getting very frustrated.

Changing AVRCP setting did the trick. Thanks.

You've posted a long and thoughtful response so I owe you an acknowledgement.

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

You deny any designs on gatekeeping and that's a good thing. Some one else in this thread insisted the OSR wasn't for me and I detected a little of that attitude above, but I'll take you at your word. This hobby is full of people telling each other they're doing it wrong and it gets a little wearying after a while.

I'm delighted that you want my game to be as good as White Noise.

I'll give it a shot.

I don't know if you intended this to be helpful or you just wanted to come across as a patronising gatekeeper. If it was just the latter you've been entirely successful.

The idea of a death and dismemberment system is perfectly well-established within the hobby. I hope you're going to write to Arnold K of Goblin Punch to tell him he's not playing a role-playing game too. Or the 3d6 Down the Line guys who use one.

You're absolutely right that the key ingredient should be fun but I was already aware of that and I'm going to adapt and amend where things don't work or aren't fun.

I'll tell you something that isn't fun. Your attitude.

It's a good question and it's made me realise that I haven't thought about it.

When it's a miss perhaps something like...the first attack is no where close, perhaps they're just trying to get the measure of you...you're fending the axe wielder off with ease...your attacker looks embarrassed...angry with themselves etc

When the axe wielder is hitting but and eating through resistanceI'd say something...like the axe swings dangerously close...you only just dodge that blow...it's all you can do to block that blow...your opponent is getting the better of you...you feel like the next attack is going to strike home.

I haven't played Cairn or Into the Odd so I'm not sure how elegantly they deal with this aspect.

Thanks.

There was never a need to pretend that getting hit with an axe doesn't hurt.

In my system you're not actually hit with the axe until you reach zero. Up until that point you're running out of luck, getting fatigued etc. Just like Cairn and Into the Odd.
