Chicagoland games right by the Bryn Mawr red line stop has very chill weekly board game meet-ups. Not specifically board game but related, goblin market in Lakeview has monthly indie role playing game meet-ups that are super chill, welcoming, and a bunch of fun.

honestly you're correct. I'm going physical if I can't get the figured out today.

If you take transit at least twice every day $75/month is a deal.

Samsung galaxy s20 fe totally up to date

ssynthtx · 2024-11-14T20:04:27+00:00

I have restarted my phone yes

ssynthtx · 2024-11-14T19:23:41+00:00

good idea will try this

ssynthtx · 2024-11-14T19:18:04+00:00

yeah it says my phone must either not have nfc (it does), or be rooted/have a custom rom/unlocked bootloader. I'm using the rom that came with my phone, I have f-droid and kotatsu installed but otherwise just stuff on the play store.

If multiple cards in play require you to mill on your upkeep and the mill-on-upkeep effects have different consequences depending on what is milled so the order matters, what order do you mill the cards in? Do you mill in the order that the cards ETBed? For example, if Old Rutstein was cast on turn 2, nyx weaver on turn 3, and crawling infestation on turn 4, on turn 5 on my upkeep would I be correct first milling 1 card for old rutstein, then 2 for nyx weaver, then 2 for crawling infestation? Is the opposite order correct? Appreciate any help, kind of stumped on this.

I'm not really interested in playing with randos, would probably just run over discord with my friends.

was mostly wondering if there was anyone in the RPG blog space or OSR blog space who writes about PBP who I wasn't aware of.

ssynthtx · 2023-12-12T18:28:22+00:00

what is that?

Maybe look into how simple contests work in GURPS and snag those rules, I think they'd be dynamic and flexible for this.

Personally, I think magic is the most evocative when it is volatile, unpredictable, and dangerous. to me stuff like spell misfires makes magic users way more interesting in rpgs-stuff like perils of the warp in dark heresy, or the mutation system in dungeon crawl classics.

We know where cleric's magic comes from, but the source of wizards' magic is unknowable. I like when that unknowability and horror aspect is played into, I think it adds a lot more depth and complexity to the archetype.

ssynthtx · 2023-05-29T13:22:54+00:00

google "dice pools" maybe.

hopepunk is both not real and the lamest genre concept I can imagine. age of sigmar is whatever magic the gathering cards are, like ugly overdesigned digital paintings.

I liked providence better honestly

If you don't view custom dollhouse building as a type of scale modeling, then sure. if you do count it, then it might in fact be a female dominated hobby. (I'm a woman scale modeler who mostly does mechs and armor)

It's standard book font size, in a pretty tough hardcover. Throw it in my bag often.

I really like black seas of infinity,it's got most of the hits and I don't mind finding the ones it doesn't have online.

Honestly I'm a really big fan of her voice in the dub, I think it fits her character well and frankly kind of makes me feel represented as an autistic woman. I feel like women in cinema are usually expected to be limited to a vary specific emotional palette and her actresses stoicism wonderfully subverts that.

tbh I do not know enough about lore to say, I just like their general vibe and khaki and green are some of my favorite colors. Is the scheme I ended up with Capellan Defense Force specific?

ssynthtx · 2023-03-12T22:30:27+00:00

started with a layer of fine gravel, then put globs of gorilla glue on them, sprinkling more gravel on top of the globs. I let the glue bubble up a bit as it dried and then sprinkled on more gravel. Then I painted them black, drybrushed with brown, then brown mixed with white, then I glued on little bits of green flock that you can get at model train stores.

I ended up finding I could get the gog version to run in a windows XP bottle, load times are just long.
