Oh I love it! I wish my cat would come and sit on my real laptop to be honest. She don’t care

So wait is this a fake laptop for cats?? Or a real one

B O N K

It’s totes adorbs. Dunno why she requires this but I am but a vessel for her wants and needs, of course.

Tummy time! My cat has to have her back paws tucked under my arm for this to be allowed, for some reason

May I be the first to say… “Awwwww”?

Sounds good, it has enough without being too restrictive Seems like it will give you some good angles for character development and choices, I say go for it!

Some great suggestions in this thread (dune and VtM were the two that immediately sprang to mind for me).

Another one you could look at is Pendragon. The social standing and celebrity status of each of the PCs is a big part of this. If you like the setting it could be a good one.

Aww. Well I think it’s very important to remember all those belly rubs you were able to provide. He must have felt safe and loved for that.

Did he like belly rubs? That photo is making me think yes

Great! Good luck with it

Took me a little bit to understand it but in summary the mechanic is that failing rolls reduces your points eventually forcing you to need to feed.

I don’t really get the point of euphoria vs thirst though. Say I begin on 5 which seems to be the best starting option, I’ve got a 2:1 chance of failing my roll so very likely I will drop to 4. Now I have a 1:1 chance of failure so I might stay at the 4 or 3 level for longer. As soon as I’m down to 2 the odds of failure increase again, so I would need to feed.

Your rules don’t specify how to calculate the points to recover when feeding, I would definitely add that.

I’d also consider changing the dice mechanic to a linear progression, potentially - unless there’s some additional mechanic to it that I’ve missed.

The way they do it in Cosmic Dark feels like it would fit well here. They roll a d6 to get a result, but in times of stress or if they feel it’s appropriate they can roll a “change” die. That starts on 1 and if you roll higher it goes up by one. So it gets progressively less likely to hit, but you’re out of the game when you reach 6.

I highly recommend watching or listening to the glass cannon network play through of this (unless you don’t want to spoil the plot for yourself). It’s across roughly 50 episodes and it’s one of the best things they’ve ever done. All the characters are interesting and their descent into madness is performed exceptionally well.

It’s referred to as Get In The Trunk seasons 4-6 but you don’t really need to have heard the first 3 (although they are good).

Oh yeah then the options basically are you draw it, you nick some similar picture and photoshop it, you commission someone, or you use the image generator.

I’d say for the token itself, I would hope it would not need to be so detailed. But if you want to show key art in full (I don’t feel like specific sunglasses features are going to be visible on a token anyway), then you need a full image…

I’ve tried the image generators for handout images before, the results were OK but it’s still time consuming and there’s obviously the environmental impact of what you’re doing, which we have limited data on

What’s your plan for the two visually distinctive ones you mention? Or is that what you’re asking for advice with?

Some more context detail might help, here

Yeah I dunno, using Firefox mobile the enworld link doesn’t load for me 🤷‍♂️

For some reason their links to drive thru never work for me. Here is the Cosmic Horror 25% stuff

Dang she’s getting big

It probably means something like mothership as well, where the character sheet is designed such that it guides you on how to fill it without the need for a separate book.

But really I’m not sure I agree much with the article. I could be wrong but it seems to me that the audience is growing and therefore what the audience want is becoming more diverse.

My own very biased experience is I that I started playing dungeons and dragons, literally having no clue about this gigantic iceberg of other stuff with a 50+ year history behind it. Did that for a few years, through the pandemic etc.

Fast forward a bit, the idea of playing Combat rpgs now (so pathfinder, 5.5, whatever) interests me almost not at all. I want to tell stories and try out new personalities. I’ve now played a ton of Call of Cthulhu (which I’d argue is extremely rules light if you want it to be), Delta Green, Mork Borg, Vaesen and would have played dozens more if I had a more local group to play with.

Would love to play some Blades though… Weirdly a bit like Delta Green, you’d think it would be great for easier to organise one shots but actually you need a short campaign to get the most of it, I would say

I might be on the minority on all that, I don’t know!
