Ganz prinzipiell: warum sollte mensch ein System aus diesem Jahrtausend spielen, welches das Spielgefühl der 1970er Jahre vermittelt, anstatt ein System aus den 1970er Jahren?
Ich mag bspw. #DCC und #Shadowdark sehr gerne, aber das ist eine der Fragen die ich mir durch meine Beschäftigung mit #ODnD aka #0e und #SwordsAndWizardry schon stelle.
Going back to Konversation for GUI stuffs. DCC file send/receive is kinda important to me. For everything else, including a lot of Matrix usage, WeeChat is still the Kewlist :p
Honorable mention goes to Halloy, which I think looks really good, supports tiling, and says it supports DCC Send - I don't mind manipulating config files by hand, and I might check it out with a FlatPak, but if I'm sufficiently impressed it looks like I'll have to build the .deb and SlackBuild myself, ... Well? Somebody's got to! Right?
Oh, DCC. Who knew that "cardborad" was not an actual word? Not the people making our recycling bins, obviously.
The ODT story veers off into a discussion on American vs British English which has nothing to do with the issue at hand. It's just a stupid misspelling because someone screwed up and nobody bothered to check.
If I end up with one of these bins, I'll correct the spelling with gaffer tape to avoid going crazy every time I see it.
#Introduction: Hello, I am #new here! I was on #Diaspora for quite a few years but it was a very small community. Mastodon seems larger and more dynamic.
I'm mainly here to chat about #RPG games. I have been playing #DnD since the #1980s, starting with Moldvay #Basic and Keep on the Borderlands. These days I am mostly playing #DCC, but also enjoy Call of #Cthulhu, Traveller and #OSR games.
Besides #RPGs, I like British comics, especially #2000AD and its spin-offs. And #cycling.
This #BandcampFriday use the word "wasteland" to get 25% off any purchase at https://lootthebody.bandcamp.com. And while you're there check out Shadows on the Wasteland, my new song for #DCC Purple Planet.
Unter anderem Dank @thopan konnten wir heute mal ein „Gauntlet“ Abenteuer für #ShadowdarkRPG ausprobieren: das Modul #CryOfTheStingbat von Brandish Gilhelm (Runehammer Games). Gauntlets sind Trichter-Abenteuer, wie man sie von #DCC kennt: eine größere Anzahl von Figuren der Stufe 0 wird in einen tödlichen Dungeon geworfen, nicht alle schaffen es raus und die Überlebenden werden dann zu Stufe 1-Figuren. Mein Star des Abend: die Ratfolk Erfinderin Bimh
just preordered the #DCC audio drama from the Soundbooth Theater site. The first episode's available for free and the rest will be coming out over the next few months ending in early 2024. Individual episodes are $3.99 each.
Last year I was invited to present a talk at a conference called #MicrosoftDCC and spoke about a particularly vicious #botnet#malware called #qakbot.
My colleague Steeve and I had cracked the methodology for decoding their command-and-control functionality. We published our work in a blog post and presented it at #VirusBulletin, #RMISC, and #DCC.
Today, the #FBI announced that in an international operation with France, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, and the United Kingdom they have shut down the botnet.
Good morning Mastodonians, how is everyone today? Decent start to the day, Lixi had taken a few days off but she was back today so we did a lot of chores and had our game. I'm getting close to the end now, I have side quests to mop up, a few memory points to find and then it's Buh-buh-buh-boss! Battle! Trying to get everything done and every shrine found that I can, so I have as many strength hearts as I can get before I face him. So we did three quests today, found three shrines, then when it was too late to start anything new we went to my favorite stable and exercised Snowmane and Luce. Nice session. Going on with #DCC book 1 now, I cannot wait for book 6 to come out! Have a great day.
One thing I've noticed about this series, no swearing. the #DCC series was absolutely riddled with it. Not pointing fingers, language is so common in books it just rolls off me, but it's nice not to see it. #Ritualist#TCC
hey @lulu_bear, here's the summary for #DCC 6. It's been out for a while as an ebook so I pulled it from Amazon. A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.
It is bedlam on the eighth floor.
As management reels from the unexpected conclusion of the seventh level, the surviving crawlers stumble onto the eighth and find themselves scattered. It’s a map based on Earth’s final days before the collapse, where ethereal, intangible ghosts of humanity go about their lives, oblivious of the impending doom. Living amongst these ghosts are monsters based in Earth lore. “Legendary” creatures tied to the geographical location they inhabit.
Each team of crawlers is given a task: find and capture six of these beasts. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. Cards that can be summoned into battle again and again. The stronger, the deadlier, the better.
At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it’s crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible.
But, like always, there is a catch. There’s always a catch.
As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn’t mean they have been tamed.
Her name is Shi Maria. She’s easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. But she is no ordinary beast. She’s intelligent. She was once married to a god, a god who is now missing. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride.
“Beware, beware. Beware the Eye of the Bedlam Bride”. As a reminder, the preorder will be up on Friday for release on September 1st.
I'm not an animal person, and I'm not a cat person, I find cats kind of scary. having said that, I'm growing to love Princess Doughnut. Never thought I would, she irritated the hell out of me at first, but there's just something about her that gets me. #DCC
Ich bin so froh, dass sowohl die #BeyondTheWall Luxusausgabe und die deutsche #DCC Lankhmar Box finanziert sind. Erleichterung pur, meine Lieben!
Bei Lankhmar könnte es sogar noch für das eine oder andere Stretchgoal reichen - und 2 Abenteuer gibt es ja gedruckt nur bei Vorbestellung. Vielleicht ist das eine Überlegung wert…😀
