  • Super recommend Mario and the Rainbow Stars! It's a free fan game with a ton of fun moments. They'll have fun watching, and you'll get something new to keep your interest.

  • Yeah it sounds cool but I use the mech to update spreadsheets

  • This is the real reason to have kids. I'm not up on the Mario Kart meta, but I'll whup my seven year old around rainbow road any damn day.

  • hmmm

    Jump
  • You have a discman? Cooooool!

  • I've heard the inattentive type is more common among women. My wife definitely fits the description. People usually mistake the blank stare for intimidation, but I know better. (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(•_•⁠ ⁠)

  • I get it now. I like the idea of having a visual build-up of threat stemming from dice rolls.

  • "I can see why Martin Freeman turned this role down, they totally sidelined Bilbo."

    "Glad to see Daniel Radcliffe finally went back to doing fantasy stuff."

    "The CGI in this is way more impressive, you can tell it's come a long way since the original trilogy." use this one to mollify them if they seem too close to violence

  • Dang. That's a cool dice mechanic. I must be spoiled with ORE, but it feels like a lot of work to get one dice roll out of the way. It doesn't bog things down, do you find?

  • "Speaking ill of the dead"? What am I, Edgar Allen Poe? No, the kids are calling it cold goss.

  • That's cool, I didn't realise PbtA was such a broad term in its own right. I've played a little Dungeon World and others, but not enough to know the background of all that.

  • There are loads of ways to tinker. If you want to run it for kids, use d6s and suddenly it feels like a light-hearted and easy game (significantly easier to get successes with smaller dice pools).

    The math is hardly impossible, but at least for d10, someone else has done the math. https://www.darkshire.net/~jhkim/rpg/nemesis/probability.html

    I used to have a better link where someone had a graph that gave a better sense of width likelihoods. Long story short, the curve is highly centered on twos and threes, and anything bigger is laughably unlikely unless you have special "master" dice.

    EDIT: I FOUND IT!!!

    Good grief. I made the system by instinct and the "poke it with a stick until it hollers" method. Maybe I shouldn't have admitted that. Ah well. I'ma hit "submit reply" anyway.

    Greg Stolze, upon reading this analysis

    That's a lot of non-trivial math. Do I understand it, I hear you ask? Nice weather we're having today...

  • Two years ago I bought one pair of shoelaces from a website that looked like the old internet. It was fucking great.

  • I can hear it now. My kid's generation is gonna be giving each other shit like "wait, you bought this off a website? Like a millennial?"

  • Would be interested to know how it diverges from PbtA? Sounds cool though!

  • The thing is, if you're autistic it's super easy to find out who's neurodivergent - it's everyone you've ever vibed with.

    If you're not, you probably already wanted to stop talking to me.
