@SKleefeld Oh I am sure I could run a 5E slasher game or whatever, but I am more interested in seeing what gameplay systems exist, especially if they are designed around the concept.
... The valid positions are either all even coordinates or all odd coordinates.
So, your graph paper has a scale of 2 for each line. You can either be on an intersection (all even coordinates) or on a square center (all odd coordinates).
Either way, movement is intuitive. Either move 2 in an orthogonal direction, or (1,1,1) in a diagonal direction.
I'd say this all compares favorably with the better known rhombic dodecahedron tiling.
@isaackuo - what a conincidence! This week my friend Mike Fourman has been using a 3d printer to create truncated octahedra, then using these to tile space. They're really cute.
I've been looking at #Warhammer40k but that's prohibitively expensive - #Battletech was my second choice and seems a lot more reasonable, but I'd still like to check around.
Amost missed posting for National GM Day, March 4th!
Whether you're running the world's most popular RPG, a scrappy indie gem, or a system of your own devising, may your tables be full of good times and memorable moments spent with friends old and new. Thanks for keeping our hobby thriving.
Take a point of inspiration, benny, fate point, hero point, adversity token, what have you!
So in the Mage: The Ascension #tabletop#RPG setting, as in the other World of Darkness settings, the “sleepers” are largely unaware of magic or that the technology that trickles down from the vastly more advanced technocracy is really the current reality-compatible paradigm of magic… which makes me wonder: what about people who, like in the real world, study and practice magic even though it does not have reality-altering effects and only directly affects the practitioner’s state of mind? Do the Traditions belittle them? Do they try to discourage them from drawing attention to magic? Do they see them as future hopefuls that should be encouraged so that they might one day “awaken”?
@anjune Everybody thinks they have the answer and all that's needed to make the world perfect is for everyone else to follow their way of doing things. It's not actual race racism, it's mage racism, we are simply better than you and if you disagree you are wrong. Same with vampires, same with werewolves, etc.
Of course you don't have to play that way but that's definitely the attitude the original books take.
I just ordered my own copy of this #tabletop game #TheIsleOfCats after playing it at a #boardGame night at our local gaming bar and really enjoying it. I tend to play a lot more video games than board games because the learning curve is so steep for so many and it's hard not to feel flustered or embarrassed trying to remember so many complicated rules, especially while playing with either someone else who is as clueless as you are, or someone who's an expert at that game and tired of having to re-explain the rules to you. But this game is a nice balance of "complicated enough to provide a fresh experience each time" and "not so complicated you'll get stressed out trying to learn all the rules." The artwork is also super cute, especially for a #cat lover like me!
@kitclaw yeeeah I keep telling myself I will but then I dont get around to it, lol. Most of the new games I've been introduced to are through the board game nights at the bar. Some of the dudes that go there will bring massive tote bags with like 20+ board games in it...seriously, lol. But if you can get to the bar early enough to join a game while it's forming, in general they're pretty friendly about inviting new players.
The current status of the #reconstruction of my #homestudio. The #acousticmodule (s) and the cabling for the #tabletop#synthesizer (s) are still to be done. But soon after that, I plan to ceremoniously run #power to the system for the first time. 🥳
I already have a 1000 watt #ups setup to intercept #powercut (s) that have become more frequent recently. We may have to invest in a #photovoltaic system in the future. 🤔 #babystep (s)
This time it's the #tabletop world that see jobs being cut just a few days before the holidays. #DnD owner #Hasbro axes one fifth of their workforce. Ghoulish behavior for a toy and games producer which is going to rake in big bucks during the holiday season.
