[System-agnostic] Running intelligent and informed adversaries that feel fair
  • Blades in the dark, the Forged in the dark games, or White lies have a way to do this.

    First, the character do the plan, not the players. It means that the planning phase is just an ellipse and players have a limited flashback possibilities (ah yes, but in fact it was a possibility so my character knows that .. or has the need tool to ...) and they use clocks (4 to 8 pieces pies that are filled step by step, ok so one more tick on the "general red alert" clock, only to remaining).

    If you want an actual play of blades in the dark: Oxventure https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8DF056nV-PUFQbq2TlAzT4BP7pjRhwml

  • It keeps getting bigger
  • Why not rolling advantage with two d20 at once? Why playing DnD only? I needed 2d10 to play Ironsworn 10d10 for COPS, 2d6 for Dungeon World, 4d6 for Fate, 10d6 for Shadowrun, ...

  • Oh, no. Not again.

  • I am searching for a game with pirates and I am seriously tempted by Sea of Dead Men, a pirate flavor of Blades in the dark.

  • Mozilla says Appleā€™s new browser rules are ā€œas painful as possibleā€ for Firefox
  • Well... It may be arguable that limiting the dev base to Europe only is damaging for Europe users thus regulators may make a comeback.

  • And my world has new lore...
  • I am currently reading Cryptomancer, a game with crystals to do kind of Internet things.

  • Anything else?
  • I had such player at my table but it was more that they could ignore what they knew. So they still were doing perception checks and I was still responding but randomly, without saying it.

    Once, for a critical failure on a perception check, I said they saw the lord was too bright, too clean, and wait are those scales? Could be a dragonborn or even more? They spend the full enquiry rejecting the possibility to have a dragon in disguise. Sad for them.

  • Project Hail Mary? The hero is a former researcher and a junior/middle school teacher. It is used in the fiction as an excuse to make science understandable. I understand this level of science so I am biased but I think it is good enough.

  • What are your RPG plans for 2024 season ?
  • I never read why the suns are fading. But I found a potential hard-scidence explanation in Project Hail Mary (I haven't finished it yet).

  • It's a nat 20!
  • Yes. Different colors or different digits (1, 2, 3, ... and 10, 20, 30, ...).

  • It's a nat 20!
  • The 19 (d100) is equivalent to a 19 (d20, DnD). The 20, to a 19 too (10% for the best roll) šŸ˜

  • Christmas has been wild
  • It always disappoints me when I think of this, and this community which has been neglected, mocked, ... is unable to learn that those behaviours are bad. It's not all of them, sure. But they should unite against toxic masculinity behaviours. And they don't. People don't learn enough.
