aldantefax posted:Anybody playing any games recently? Just wrapped up another GURPS session and gonna run D&D tomorrow, then more GURPS on Friday. Hooray! I’m running, somewhat poorly, a Fellowship campaign for my girlfriend and our respective daughters (10 and 13). Need to really work on the pacing, and my description of the ritual they interrupted last time was, while not graphic, apparently a little scarier than the 10yo wanted. I’m still nervous through the whole sessions that I’m messing it up, but they keep asking to play, so I guess I’m doing well enough!

Leperflesh posted:This is the part that matters, actually. If the material is explicitly granting you permission to share, than that's cool and fine. I assumed that the author/publisher had retained full copyright. As a matter of detail, granting a license under CC or most any other license still preserves the copyright as owned by the author/publisher/grantor. They do not lose any of their rights or control, and are in fact exercising that control in order to apply (and enforce) the license in question. A copyright assignment is a different sort of contract. (I’m not a lawyer but I spent a lot of time in the license mines of CC and open source software.)

Len posted:These guys have the right idea, something large and obnoxious I can just slam on a table and give a glare to. I can accompany it with verbal words of knock your poo poo off if that doesn't get the initial point across but gently caress man. My assumption would be that someone as — let’s be generous — clumsy as this guy wouldn’t know what it meant when you slammed it down, at least the first time. This means that you should prepare some catchphrase to bellow as well. “You go too far!”

Xiahou Dun posted:It's miles from a perfect solution to your problems, but this specific instance seems like a great opportunity to talk to your group and say stuff like, "I'd really like to use ability X here, but I don't want to mess with our situation." Yeah, someone might suggest using your media contacts to keep your run off the radar (“I’ll give you an exclusive when it’s over but there won’t be much to tell if it leaks now”) or put someone else on the radar as a distraction—or an actually good idea. Collaboration even for thinking up what a single given character does is part of good group role playing, I think.

mellonbread posted:Gumshoe replaces skill rolls with point spends, but the end result is still the same. "any opportunity or payoff for good recon" is still "up to the scenario writer's whims." Unless you're procedurally creating the investigation as you go, you're always going to be at the mercy of the module author or GM who wrote the mystery you're trying to solve. I feel like that’s maybe unhelpfully reductive, a little, but it also doesn’t seem to contradict “has meaningful rules for investigation” as I read it.

I believe that the AI didn’t have any conversations, just modelled out the moves and won on that basis (which involves understanding the strategic significance of France having a fleet in the English Channel, etc.). I can’t find where I read that, though. E: well apparently that is wrong!

ninjoatse.cx posted:Shadowrun 2e was made during the great boom in TTRPGs, and the amount of stuff they could put into as many pages they did shows it. Those books were so drat good. Yeah I have been thinking about starting to collect the rest of the 2e set. I had such a good time playing it and being dumb, and our GM was so adamant that we not even talk about blood magic because it was FORBIDDEN.

ninjoatse.cx posted:Which lead to another debate of "why does my gun/cyberarm need to be wireless, when it worked just fine without it before"? "Because" This seems realistic at least. Someone at Ares or Shiawase got a promotion because it let them roll out a whole new line, and they planned-obsolescence the old one by no longer selling parts for it. Later they will charge you megacred for a Faraday sleeve to effectively disable this innovation.
