Oh, hey! I know Carl!

If people have left Elite Dangerous and alhave been considering looking back in, there is currently a trade war going on with 55x markup of certain items. Also depending on how long you’ve been gone, Thargoid war is over (for now) and we have hot rod boosting through FTL. Also space legs/walking around (just not inside your own ship, for some reason).

I outlived my hospice diagnosis.

honestly, the only reason I didn’t love it is because there was enough material there for at least one more season, if not two, without any real concern about filler. every “ONE YEAR LATER” smash cut made me wince and groan.

I quit! I am going to continue working on the WoD20th code on my own, and I might run a Mage ttrpg using it, but no more staff at DI.

My main focus will be finishing up my Cyberpunk Red game.

I don’t have anything against AI generated images for face claims, though these images aren’t art and shouldn’t be referred to as such. I generally prefer human-made digital art and have my own personal image folder of stuff I’ve collected over the years. Whenever I make a new character I just flip through and pick something.

Again though, I’m coming across less authentic art these nights and my cache isn’t growing as much as it once was. Annoying.

@Faraday said in Best Games with Roster Characters?:

Ares also has a partial FFG Plugin based around the Genesys system. I don’t know how well it would adapt to L5R but you could probably at least steal some of the dice code.

I think you could probably steal most of the code. I just looked at it on Github and I think it mostly does what you want already, the code work would be reducing it down from 6 types of dice to 2.

Genesys has 6 dice types (Boost, Ability, Proficiency, Setback, Difficulty, and Challenge), where L5R only has 2 (Ring and Skill). Advantages (the L5R version of Talents) are pretty easy to implement too, as I believe the majority of them just let you reroll 2 of your dice in specific situations.

… what about Cheers?

How can I play my mysterious, be-trenched, katana-wielding cyber drifter if everyone knows my fucking name??

@Ominous Be careful about crowdsourcing too much - people have a way of killing enthusiasm for new games and new ideas because they tend to focus on all the ways it WON’T work. It can be hugely discouraging, but it’s just the nature of the kind of critique you’re going to get in this format.

Solicit ideas by all means, but one of the strongest markers of a successful game, I’ve found, is the passion of the creator and their willingness to put in the work to build enthusiasm of actual players. Decide the game YOU want to run, the game that’s worth it to you to do the work on, bring on a small group of people whose vision strongly aligns with yours, and go for it.

I am but a week away from getting a computer capable of running baldur’s gate 3. Once I make sure the machine is actually going to work I’m going to buy it on steam. I cannot wait to play this game. I’m old and about to die so I’m going to spend the last few years of my life acting like I’m 14.

@ChaoticSin Pika ousted from their own game? What’s the story there?

Pika distanced herself from the game quite some time ago. So, when the domain lapsed, those of us who wanted to see the game succeed continued on without her. Hence the moving of the server

@RiotDawn Check Jenn’s other devices. If they ever logged in from a phone that phone or a different web browser on the main PC might have the log in information stored in the password files.
That’s about all you can do.

@Hobbie it’s the same story as serenitymush. There will be deaths and rebirths until it just ends up dead on someones VM server forgotten in time.
