Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

What I did was use tokens for inspiration and saying “you can have as many as you want and then cash in all of them to get advantage”. That worked well.
4·7 months agoI think this is spot on and I overall dislike the game. One thing that I am a li’l bit interested in is the hitpoints system which seems like a good mix of Fate stressboxes with D&D damage.
The amount of incoming damage can go to certain thresholds and that has different consequences (both symbol-layer mechanical and diegetic). I think that’s neat and I’m glad to see that experiment carried further.
How much gold is in that hoard?
Wow, I had missed that. That’s not good. I mean, CR gets criticized for their “shopping episodes” (even though my own group is even more extreme in that regard) so maybe that’s to address that? Diaspora, for example, just has a “recourses” roll instead of detailed accounting of space credits, and it seems to work well in the context of that game.
How far does that bandit run?
I don’t think that’s a fair characterization; range bands is trued and tested tech. Cartesian spatialization is overkill for most game groups.

I love DWIM ♥
So often I find myself humming http://www.poppyfields.net/filks/00029.html (even though that’s an anti-Interlisp song, I just love the “superlisp” part).
5·1 year agoIt’s awesome!
That’s rich when the Google Play store is full of malware while F-Droid is full of gems.
Absolutely did not expect that take from Reason.
2·1 year agoIf D&D had only been a series of fights, it would’ve been the same thing, but the revolt happened when one char was doing fun fun village stuff and exploring and social interaction while the other char was healing up from bloody wounds in an inn bed for a week. I think they were only like three or four levels apart.
Now we use https://idiomdrottning.org/oh-injury instead for our HP realism purps. (Basically HP is fatigue/hope/destiny.)
This is so awesome! Raises the bar of doing a lot with a little.
The way it collapses leaves & joins in those screenshots seems like it could get annoying; we don’t need to see every leave and join, but it’s good to see when someone who has been among the most recent people talking leave.
Maybe it already does that. 💁🏻♀️
3·1 year agoI have a Muji doubletour but it’s a watch of Theseus at this point since I’ve had the clockwork replaced, and the wristband replaced with a hand-sewn replica. I love it.
Icons of the realm: $4.50 per (it’s $19 for one big & three reg)
Campaign case Creatures: $0.40 if dividing per cling, or $1.01 per disk
Pathfinder pawns: $0.20 (it’s $40 for “more than two hundred”)A dollar per seems a li’l high esp since some parts of these are unfinished. But maybe some people are into that 🤷🏻♀️
The worry with older phones is the lack of security updates. One of the bugs in market capitalism is that supporting older devices eats into the profit. Unlike the old days where there were third-party TV repair shops.
And to TVs, cars, record players, speakers, lamps, microwave ovens
Even five years is shockingly low for me given how long we used to have the same stuff when I was a kid, like TVs and kitchen stuff. I still have the same knife from my first apartment (1996) and even then that knife was a decade old because it was a hand-me-down. But as soon as software gets involved everything suddenly gets super obsolescent 😭
I like settings where the players can play parties from all kinds of factions. I’ve seen 'em roll up members of the same cult their last party faught against etc. This isn’t a complete answer but just one more li’l contribution to the thought palette around this.
