TBH, I’ve probably come up with more unusual PCs than NPCs, but I still have some notable ones, like: 1) in my Champions:1900 supers campaign, the “Iron Man” homage using a boiler-powered hydraulic armored suit with twin flamethrowers got audible gasps. 1a) same campaign world (using M&M...

“Toss a corpse to the mimic!”

Zone of Truth is still problematic, depending on the questions asked. If you ask Legbreaker Bob “Did you kill Victor Timm?” in a ZoT, “No.” could be the answer. If, OTOH, you ask Legbreaker Bob “Who did you kill?”, the answer may be a list- and #7 may surprise you!

FWIW, all good reads.

As an army brat, our family had to get accustomed to prepping our house for sale, sometimes on short notice. Fix the obvious problems & use neutral paints. If there’s something about the house that could be considered a selling point, take the time & money to showcase it. The last house we...

Except I’m not wrong. AFAIK, all of Anthropic’s products are AI, and Amodei is claiming their products are profitable, but Anthropic is operating billions of dollars in the red. That doesn’t make sense. One of the most often cited reasons why Anthropic is in the red is because of the costs of...

Good luck!

(Emphasis mine.) HERO, GURPS and a bunch of other systems allow for this kind of customization. Not saying you’re copying them- they all take different approaches- just saying the idea of taking this approach itself goes back 40 years so. AFAIK, we don’t remove posts for self-promotion unless...

To clarify further: 1) Amodei is claiming that Anthropic’s products are profitable when viewed individually on their P&L statements. 2) all of Anthropic’s products (that I know of) involve AI 3) Anthropic is currently operating in the red 4) it’s accounting shenanigans to assert your...

To clarify, I don’t trust the claims that someone with a vested interest in having AI be profitable saying that his actually is on his books. I’d have more faith in a similar claim from someone doing an independent financial analysis.

Nope. Texas currently has 400 AI data centers (#1 nationwide) with estimates of another 100-140 under construction.

Let’s just say I view that with the same critical eye as when I look at certain dubious financial ecosystems like “Hollywood Accounting”, “supply-side economics”, “sub-prime lending” and others I was formally educated about in my economics, law & MBA programs.

Forgot about those! 😂 My thoughts are less about what you can make fit and more about much conceptual space there is for a wide variety of fantasy classes in a hardboiled/noir urban setting, and how much work you’d have to do as a DM to accommodate players who design PCs that are inconsistent...

IT’S A MIRACLE!

Michael B. Tager has an anecdote about that…

I didn’t post any links.🤷🏾‍♂️ And I did post one class modification idea- the one on AC adjustments. But by streamlining, I meant to trim the list of classes available to players in the campaign. My thought is that a hardboiled/noir urban campaign doesn’t really need a lot of classes that are...

I think this idea has potential. However, I feel- considering you’re adapting the D&D chassis to run this- you should make certain tough choices early on. IMHO: 1) you should probably streamline the classes available to actually use. (I have thoughts on this, but I’m not you.) Pare the list...
