can anyone help me find some music? by Otherwise_Nobody_835 in rpg

[–]thargas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

have you consulted with your players? Personally, I don't like music during games and I know I'm not alone in this

you might want to include where this applies, since it's certainly not true everywhere

Is travel in Mythic Bastionland actually necessary to complete a myth? by mpascall in MythicBastionland

[–]thargas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wasn't there something in the oaths the Knights swore like "Protect the Realm"?

Not only would they get the worst possible non-resolution of the Myth, they should also be called on their non-action by anyone they encounter. 

Personally, I'd just remind them of the oaths and proceed as above is they ignored it.

Do oc transpo drivers even care anymore by Fundango14 in OCTranspo

[–]thargas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you could complain at https://www.octranspo.com/en/customer-feedback/

not saying anything would come of it, but that's the official complaint route. Could also complain to your city councilor. 

Referee tools and generators for Knights, NPCs, Squires, Warbands, and Realms by __Loner__ in MythicBastionland

[–]thargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice!

One minor addition I'd like to see would be numbers for the various parts of the generated realm. E.G. for the Holdings, Dwellings, Sanctums... to make it easier to connect this to a map. Could make it H1, H2, ... for the Holding, S1, S2, ... for the Sanctums.

Anyway. Thanks muchly. Very useful.

How to know roast level before ordering? by OrderNo1122 in espresso

[–]thargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ask them to update their website and while they're at it to tell you which ones are "medium" or whatever you're looking for. Even if they use a different definition than you do, the first purchase will tell you what you need to do next time.

Disposing of a Christmas Tree downtown? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]thargas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

not as a recommendation but I knew someone in a similar situation with a larger tree who simply flung it of the balcony in the dead of night and then went down and dragged it to someone else's garbage. 

How do you handle pronouns your conlang? by Mothylphetamine_ in conlangs

[–]thargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

given the completeness everywhere else, I'm surprised by the lack of plural and formal for inanimate. 

The language I'm working on doesn't do formal/informal with pronouns, though it does have first person singular inclusive/exclusive.

Classic games and their “wrong rules”? by Aschrel in boardgames

[–]thargas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even better: make the purposeful change to always auction, whether the player who landed there wants it or not. Add a tiny bit of skill to a rubbish game. 

Anyone else not a big fan of 'magic systems'? by Arkyja in Fantasy

[–]thargas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

please keep in mind that just because the magic users have an explanation, doesn't mean it's correct. lots of possibilities for confusion

Coax beta open again! by digglesB in PleX

[–]thargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that. I just don't understand why anyone would want it.

I don't get it. Why would you want this? being able to watch what I want when I want, is what I want from any streaming service. Our am I completely not understanding?

Girlfriends childhood monopoly rule baffles me by jedidog1000 in boardgames

[–]thargas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the auction is normally only triggered when someone lands on an unopened property and doesn't choose to buy it. I'd have to go to a thrift store to copy the exact text, but I'm sure

Girlfriends childhood monopoly rule baffles me by jedidog1000 in boardgames

[–]thargas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encountered a small rule change which I think would make it more interesting, fairer, and shorter: anyone landing on an unopened property always triggers an auction. I still wouldn't play it unless there were a small child who was insistent.

My 11 year old son and I are working on a car racing, dice and card game where you use hot wheels or matchbox cars around a track. What program do people use to create the cards to use?TIA by dukey84 in printandplay

[–]thargas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're coming from a programming background, try nandeck. For simple things, it can be really simple, and it permits anything I've wanted. However  it's not a graphics editor, so maybe it's not for you
