That looks neat! Thanks for posting it!

Good luck on your search!

The visor on Pixels works for me. I’ve got a P8Pro that’s going strong. It lies flat, without a wobble.

I’ve been playing Cyberpunk RED for around a year. Backstory is a huge part of the character creation process and GMs are encouraged to use backstory as hooks whenever possible.

I don’t really like it.

Some players like playing along with the backstory. Other players disengage fairly quickly.

It’s just another source for hooks and set pieces. If players like it, I roll with it, if they don’t, I let those plot lines dribble out. But it doesn’t really change the GMing or creative process.

Commoner here: this is accurate.

Most of the tech communities I participate in mentioned his death. Dilbert’s cultural relevance ended a few decades ago, but it was a pretty big deal during the .com boom.

I feel like there’s some sort of corollary to Murphy’s Law, where players will think of the one thing I didn’t include in my session prep.

Gotta break into the cult compound? “Let’s use the hot air balloon we saw six sessions ago”

I love it when players do stuff like that, but it’s a pain in the butt. It taught me to prepare less.

Isn’t that where Amazon makes 1/3 of their money?

where ASCII?

Agreed, I like the mechanic tho.

what if my fireball wants to cast fireball?

“most” is a bit strong. Many open source projects never get users or any kind of traction, they’re just a passion project for the author. The lucky few fill a need and take off. Review the package usage count on npm or the GitHub stars for projects - there’s a tiny fraction that make it big.

Relationship goals: unmet.

I find that my players take a lot of cues from the scenario. If there’s an obvious way for them to get involved, and a clear benefit to the character, they jump in. If not, they treat it as part of the world and continue about their business. But they are relatively passive, story-wise and expect a bit of railroading to tell them where to go.

I did this for my Waterdeep: Dragonheist campaign. The paper was yellow journalism through and through: they misspelled PC names, misattributed actions, and obviously supported one of the factions. It was a lot of fun. I fully recommend it.

Used for what?
