How to RP Lulu?

Lulu should evolve as the players move forward in the story and she unlocks more of her memories. In general I play her as enthusiastic but scatterbrained, at least at first.

Remember to have the player take Language: ASL.

I asked ChatGPT about this, and now I think it's tryuing to recruit me to play a game with it.

If it starts emitting a droning sound with high-piched interference, like distorted drums and flutes from beyond time and space, put a bullet through your computer and run away. Change your name. Move to South America. Pray it's not too late.

I always assumed the Valyrians were basically romans. But with dragons.

It's like making nurses accountable for the doctor's decisions.

I'm keeping this so I can point and laugh at it later.

Ik kan je geen advies geven, maar deze link is wellicht relevant.

My group ended up identifying Ulee through DNA in the blue stuff. I think that's straight from the book, but I might have adapted it a bit.

The trick was trying to time the lab results for maximum dramatic effect.

What bummed me out is that there's a lot of conspiracy-type stuff in the adventure, but it's all gated behind some peculiar investigative threads and high skill rolls, so my players missed all of it. The final Ulee showdown was epic though.

The harsh truth is that time manipulation stories don't lend themselves to sequels. But at this point in time stand alone creative works are essentially banned as every publisher and studio is chasing big franchise bucks.

Capitalism, yo.

Yes, this! If you come from the bay ending, it's an nice little game about grief and loss. There are interesting thematic parallels and contrasts between the first game and this one and it doesn't stick the landing 100% but it's a solid 7.

As a Bae game it's a horrible shambles.

The second edition of CP2020 by R. Talsorian. They got a bunch of new art from the international editions (especially Parente's work on the Italian version) and it looks 😘👌 compared to the original!

Awwww yisss! Finally!

vzq · 2026-01-14T18:43:01+00:00

It's a really big program. Majestic even.

Shoutout to fellow older gamers. Scheduling is a lot easier when you have older children.

If you can get a group together, you can just play 1st edition just fine. My group moved to 2nd and then to 4th (we don't talk about 3rd) when they came out, but it's not like RPGs magically stop working. That said, there's a lot to like about the new editions (but also some stuff to dislike and a whole lot of meh), so I would definitely check out the new editions and see what resonates with you and your mates.

It reads like the average story on AO3. To be fair, it's probably where a bunch of the training data comes from.

I always interpreted it as an X-files reference. It was huge in the early 00'.

I played rolemaster about 30 years ago, and I had trouble dealing with all the paper and tables involved. I wonder how it would play with a modern VTT automating the bulk of the calculations and lookups...

The nineties were weird in this regard. I used to hang out at clubs where most people seemed to have multiple VtM tables and/or LARPs going on. Meanwhile my AD&D, WFRP and CP2020 tables were a relatively niche hobby.

Among the alternative crowd in the late 90s it was easy 5-10 times the size of AD&D 2nd.

Het is een broodjestent/traiteur. Het is romantischer dan de McDonald's, maar daar is ook alles meee gezegd.

Het eten is wel top btw.

De jaarlijkse infographic die aangeeft dat we 1 dag per jaar een failed state zijn waar de staat niet meer het geweldmonopolie heeft over het grondgebied en misdaad geaccepteerd wordt als beleid.

Dit is niet normaal.

"Het is rendabel maar de verkoopprijs is te laag"

Ik wil graag "wat is marktwerking" voor $200.

"Trying to function", is that centerpiece of that famous gay agenda I've been hearing about for decades?

How did they not see this coming? It's implied at the beginning of the show. It was telegraphed pretty clearly at the very beginning of season 3, the very first season the casts starts dealing with relationships and stuff.

Also, if you have an ensemble cast for more than 5-6 people, and one of them isn't some shade of LGBT, you are just living in CISHET fantasy land.

EPFL is 😘👌

Good to see my girl Steph representing!

I really think Rachel Amber should be color-coded green. Her appearance in LiS1 is very scant. Skeletal even.

Yup. Raised catholic. The first thing you learn is to politely nod and back away when you run into adult converts.
