    Let's talk about "plot", "story", and "play to find out."

    FYI, also don’t respond to moderation texts in-thread. That can get you moderated as well. A private message is preferred. Using the “like” button is usually acceptable. (I understand why you did- did exactly that here myself YEARS ago, before I became a Mod.)

    Friday Worldbuilding Fun: Supers Appear in Different Eras and/or Settings

    Well, anyone familiar with my posting here will probably not be surprised to see me drop in!😂 My best campaign EVER was a HERO game set in 1900, using the Space:1889 RPG setting. Besides that and the same inspirations that game’s designers used, I also drew from William Gibson, Michael...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My mentally ill godmother expressed that concern of me to my parents during The Satanic Panic. But because they knew me and knew her, they didn’t take it or her seriously.🤷🏾‍♂️ (I will note that Mom was more worried by my newish interest in heavy metal, which concern passed relatively...

    What Geek Media Do You Refuse To Partake In?

    I can’t say I’m a fan of his, but his novelette “Sandkings” is really good- it won a Hugo & a Nebula. It was originally published in Omni magazine, then in a couple of collections, and has been adapted for visual media at least once- it was the first episode of the 1995 Outer Limits series...

    Life path system in-game

    @Morrus Question: have you ever seen the Central Casting books from Task Force Games? They’re long out of print, but they were essentially books of genre specific tables to roll on to flesh out character backgrounds (and, to a certain extent, equipment lists).

    Cookin again

    I’ve never cured anything, so I’m going out on a limb doing this, and in on a timeline that doesn’t leave much room for error. At best, I estimate I’d have two good dry runs to figure out the flavor. And yeah, ingredients flavors & chemical effects in a recipe can vary greatly depending on how...

    The oldest tech you still use

    You should figure out what it is. If you’re not using it, you could gift it to another player or sell it on Reverb.com. Some older pedals are commanding STUPID prices.

    Cookin again

    The main logistical concern is TIME. There’s at least one ingredient- pink pickling salt- which is REQUIRED according to all the recipes I’ve seen, and isn’t what you’re thinking it could be. There are no lsubstitutes. Which means I have to get my hands on some- as well as some other esoteric...

    The oldest tech you still use

    One piece of older tech I’m “worried” about losing eventually is my iPad2.* My current iPad blows it away, so why does it matter? Because I also own a DigiTech iPB-10, which is a multieffects pedal for guitar that uses an iPad or iPad 2 as its control panel/user interface. It seemed like a...

    I usually use a store-bought corned beef for beer-braising, but I may learn how to corn beef from scratch this year. The reason: I haven’t seen any in stores. My local places usually have a small supply year ‘round, but I haven’t even seen a gap where they SHOULD be in the meat department of...

    Do you go in RAW 100%?

    I’d say your players are your auditors. If they’re having fun, you’ve passed your audit.

    I can agree with that.
