Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Yes! Thank you!

One Roll Engine is my obsessive small-time RPG system. I’ve always loved systems where you get to roll a heap of d10s, but more importantly it has a highly expressive and generalizable core mechanic that allows everyone to roll at once without taking turns, and attacks resolve in a dynamic fashion so that initiative order, damage, hit location, and contested rolls all happen in one roll. It’s great for gritty, fast-paced, lethal combats where you can give players a lot of freedom to get creative and stay engaged. It has great rules for easily killed mooks as well, so you can quite easily have huge numbers of enemies and allies all in one battle, and it takes far less time to resolve each turn - and a far greater proportion of that time is people talking about what they’re going to do. Reign uses ORE, and that includes rules for running companies (gangs, businesses, armies, entire countries even). I’ve used ORE variants to run occult horror, mecha, low-magic fantasy, slice of life, robot sci-fi, and more over the years. It’s a great system and I can teach 85% of what you need to play in just a few minutes.

For a second I thought this was some brainrot BG3 mod that makes Withers look Balenciaga-style

The Aussie slang “I’m not here to fuck spiders” just took on a bitter but satisfying depth and flavour

French sounds incredible with a demon voice. There’s an entire cartoon series, Wakfu, where there’s a demon talking sword and he’s great

I’m just joshing. You don’t have to mention the neuro stuff, the mundanes don’t know about this place yet m’dear

Quite the raconteur on display here

Dead. cackles

Awful little creature reporting for duty

Same, it would be great to have a trove of podcasts saved on my media server but the medium is very geared towards passively receiving episodes, listening once at most, and deleting.

I see people who are showing concern borne of experience, and with marked consensus. If you’re confident they’re wrong about your situation, it still may be worth reflecting on what they’ve learned and to limit your ambitions - or at least, consider building things on a more conservative timeline than you were imagining. Have big dreams, but start with biting off an amount you can certainly chew.

If I was going to actually map one out, I’d just do it like the tube map. Point to point connections that don’t correspond to real space, just nodes that indicate how each “room” or area connect. If necessary, colour code them by depth so I know when connections should involve a staircase/drop/ladder etc.

When with millions of dollars on the line, I would struggle to keep a straight face.

Just once in my life I’d love to play DnD with the most unsmilingly pompous tryhards in the world so we could all be severe and straight-up Tolkien characters talking like books.

Then I’d publish the session recording so that everyone could see that it’s not a dream worth having and we could all move on to feeling fine with our regular silly bullshit.

Aaa you were right thanks! What a relief

Eh fuck it, I’m enjoying freetube now

It hasn’t been working lately. Videos stop at 0:59

Let’s go meta. There’s a Ministry of Chelonism whose remit it is to send teams of interdimensional agents to prevent fantasy settings from becoming too self-aware and ironic, because that would cause them to interact with the Discworld and destabilise their reality.

They constantly muck it up, leaving a trail of universes with retconned cosmogonies and unhinged cosmic geometries.

And they memed as they slew, for the lulz were upon them, and the sound of their dice disturbed the neighbours

Saved for when I get my home server back up and running. This sounds way better than keeping everything on an external SSD.

I’m a fucking albatross, I know… Or whatever that sailor’s curse bird is I forget. A crested wank.
