Leave. Go for a walk, or a coffee, or go home. Nobody knows you aren’t in a meeting room.

If your co-workers are into it, have a LAN party. I used to work at a place that had a daily management-approved kill session. It was good.

Totally agree. I am not compatible with summer.

Winter! Winter sports are awesome. Snow is beautiful. Long dark nights are cozy.

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

I think there are much better social media platforms for sharing clips. From what I’ve seen, most of Twitter is people angrily typing opinions at each other, so your target demographic may not be there. The UI is designed for text rather than video, and responses/reactions don’t integrate nicely with videos.

Sharing game clips on video-oriented social media makes a tonne sense, however.

Let me guess, the downside is infinite teeth.

I started programming as a teen. I didn’t realize I could do that as a job (weird, I know), so I looked into lucrative careers I could do so I could afford to have lots of free time to program. Then I discovered that programming was also a job.

The Cyberpunk mission format encourages authors to make less linear scenarios. It reminds the author that multiple paths are to be expected.

Having said that, I have a hard time with Kibble Flavoured Popcorn and Drummer and the Whale from Tales of the Red because scenes aren’t tied together well, or some scenes don’t require the players to do anything.

This is where the remixes come in. Seasoned GMs can easily improve individual scenes while keeping the shape of the adventure.

I guess they’re discovering that your grocery store trip on Feb 17, 2017 does not help them target ads.

The data has costs associated with it: they’ll want to back it up, they need to migrate it when they change formats, they need to maintain the hardware it resides on.

And, as the article mentions, there are liabilities around law enforcement requests, costs due to data breaches, and regulatory requirements.

Three months is plenty for them to target ads.

Yeah! That’s the one. The Cyberpunk RED subreddit has some good remixes of the missions.

Waterdeep: Dragonheist was pretty rough. There isn’t a lot of player choice, and there’s a ten scene railroad where the macguffin is yoinked away from the players at the end of each scene.

War of the Burning Sky was similarly linear.

So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.

Missions are hard to write. Most of the ones I’ve looked at (for D&D, old school D&D, and Cyberpunk RED) have been weak. I find the best missions are remixes of official modules written by GMs who have run them.

if the dice are the be-all-end-all, why have a GM at the table?

Dice are terrible at making battlemaps, and don’t get me started on their awful faux-Scottish accents.

This is the level of sympathy I have come to expect from the Internet.

You don’t want to run afoul of big slop

That was an interesting read. Thanks for linking to it.

A Canadian politics and current affairs community.

A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.

We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).

I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.
