It’s also in print 💁🏻‍♀️ and there was that cute Japanese edition a few years back.

As I noted in my patch message and in the previous post, behavior gets a li’l weird when someone leaves mml-enable-flowed on (the default!) but forgets to turn on use-hard-newlines (not the default! And since it’s buffer local, it needs to be turned on every single time, for example with a hook).

So with these two settings kept at their defaults, separate paragraphs will get flowed together with my patch! So I sent a new version of the patch to the same #71017 thread that’ll auto-harden according to markdown semantics as a dwimmy fallback.

There’s also cook’s utensil rules in XGE.

Cherries!

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.

Democracy Now are being lauded in the video in case you missed that 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like Chris Hayes’ take as clipped in this video 43 minutes in:

The way that so many prominent voices have focused so exclusively on colleges feels honestly a bit decadent to me. Like we’re doing a paper doll version of conflict because the actual reality of what’s happening in Gaza is so horrific, unceasing, and high-stakes, it’s more enjoyable to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that’s happening in the actual conflict that is, of course, the source of these protests. What seems to be most worth debating isn’t campus speech but whether the US government should contine to fund and support an Israeli war in Gaza that has pushed more than a million people to the brink of famine. A war that has damaged half of the buildings in Gaza. A war that has failed to bring home most of the hostages held by Hamas, that has in fact lead to the death of some those hostages.

This is a good video, thanks.
I’m not all onboard with the conclusions: “YouTube & TikTok good” (I believe they’re overall bad. Fund Peertube.) and “Socialist sentiment is growing” (I believe the overton window has been slipping & skipping to the right for decades now.)

CY_Borg by @chrull is great. Feels more polished and playable than Mörk Borg.

Meanwhile the Free and Open Source community have holy wars over text editors.

Is that still going on? I thought Emacs ruled supreme. Every monarchy a conquered sovereignity.

@spaduf@slrpnk.net @BreadTube@lemmy.world

It’s so weird that they didn’t do this when they introduced the Primaris. Perfect in-universe opportunity.

But the Stormcast Eternals fixed it so 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is great, makes me happy to hear!

@flumph @dnd

Sweden has these. But I can’t speak to how good or bad they are because I’ve never lived in one for more than a week or so at a time. I grew up out in the boonies.

As for the video, I like that it (unlike way too many of these video essays) doesn’t bury the lede; he’s up front about his perspective and then spend the rest of the video elaborating and explaining why. That’s an oasis in the desert of “mysterious, let me hold you in suspense for the lede” style videos we see too many of. I get really distracted by his music, though. I can’t fully listen to what he has to say since I get so into the heartbreakingly depressive synth pads.

@tree @BreadTube

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.

They’ve also removed Talks Machina.

@Ultragramps @criticalrole

Kudos to CR for listening to the backlash on this illconsidered project. They must’ve taken quite a hit 💸 but this was not a good idea. I mean, they have their fair share of bad sponsors like NordVPN or D&D Beyond but this was a li’l too much 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Ultragramps @criticalrole

I 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.

Elves are of a culture that’s long familiar with magic yet respects magic and its ways.

@Shkshkshk @dnd

The problem with this is that it makes going left the same as going right, meaning that any decisions by the players where their characters should go become meaningless. I use a ton of random generators but it’s in conjunction with more prepared stuff.

@thorbot

The wrong thing was that “It doesn’t matter what the US does” when the US is exceptionally culpable on the demand side, the drill side, and the policy side.
