!imageai : Ai Generated image and weekly challenge, some people are pretty creative there

!forumlibre : French “free/casual chat” community, most likely not interesting for most of you, but if you know some french come

One which is semi active, and would desserve more user

!rpg : I can’t imagine that so few people around here want to talk about rpg :)

Some meme communties I don’t follow, but sure some of you would like-it

!196 : Lemmy’s dump of old meme !rpgmemes : I am sure some of you like RPG, and like meme, even though it’s a bit too much D&D meme !ich_iel : Some German meme, not always in proper German so not optimum if we don’t know German.

TIL that Rolls Roys is doing SMR.

I am pretty curious on how this new trend of SMR will evolve in 20 years, I can see how it can be simpler and faster to build than full scale plant. However, I am not sure you’d save by multiplying the NIMBY to deal with and the whole support staff.

So, here is my approach, in the context of a campaign. On my campaign, I tend to have a short list of NPC/Faction/Place and enjoy keeping the campaign on a shorter space rather than a whole multiverse.

So my technique would involve.

• Ask the players to give me a summary of latest session, that I’ll crosscheck with my notes.
• Ask the player what they want to do, following these events. having reccuring NPC/Places/factions mean that I can improvise how these person react to the event (if they do). This will easily burn a hour.
• While all of that happen, I have time to think about how to relaunch the story, either there is an event which absolutely makes sense in the context The local mafia isn’t happy that you dismounted their drug production lab, when you come home you find a miniature coffin with a bullet inside in front of your door or, even though it’s a bad practice, I throw a “randomish encounter” A big etheral cloud forms over the magic equipement store, and you can see some ethereal creature leaving that cloud and ear screams of bypasser being attacked The latter adds a combat buying me an extra hour to find-out why this shop exploded.
• Then, I can let the player investigate these events, it may-not be the most complicated investigation I ran, and kinda linear, However, it’s enough to keep going to the end of the session, and have new elements to develop for next time

For a one shot ?

In general, I organize them when they’re ready, and I have a lot of one-shot scenario ready on my computer, alternative would be pulling a zero prep game.

The idea of the Dragon which is just 5 kobolds in a dragon coat is amazing :)

Indeed, for C/W oD you can easily have some “standard stats” in mind to build NPC quickly ? Something like 3/5/7 dices depending whether it’s beginner/intermediate/master (I haven’t GM-it for a while so the formula may-be different) works very well at turning a one sentence description in NPC skill

In their defence, Blades in the Dark, set a trend of having a formal downtime phase which is about upgrading team, healing physical and mental wound, and advancing your side project, and I heard player telling me that they’ve spend 2 (short) sessions on it.

Even on more classic games, having the player looking what to buy in the books, then finding a shop having it, negotiation with the shopkeeper and so on, can take a lot of time.

s a DM, I’ve always found it boring as hell. 👍Maximum Derek👍 English4•

I don’t really like running them, but my players enjoy it from time to time and it always seems to take half a session.

ive your players control of the plot so you don’t have to come up with it.

Indeed, this is an under-stated GM tip, player can come up with the plot. It eases the GM life

That’s a fair point. In general when not prepared in long term campaign, I have enough running stuff to not need to prepare more.

But reading some other forum, it seems that some people are super anxious about prep and need hours of prep for every game night. Sure sometimes, I am on a creative mood and want to do these hours of prep, and come with a twisted plot, some maps and illustrations. But very often, I can just use all the ongoing stuff to improvise.

So I agree, not such a big deal

Off topic,

I now remember about this photographer who has done an “every day astronaut” serie www.flickr.com/photos/timdoddphoto/…/14668530737yes flickr, do you enjoy feeling 10 years younger ?

I am sometimes worried about my memory who has no problem remembering 10 year old random internet stuff :)

Les francophones sont partout sur Lemmy, hier je suis tombé sur quelqu’un qui mentionne Stupéflip dans un ask lemmy Sauce ça m’a donnée envie d’en remettre une couche, vous savez ce que j’ai comme playlist ce matin.

Il s’agit du dernier incident en date impliquant un avion Boeing, après l’explosion d’un panneau de fuselage d’un 737 MAX d’Alaska Airlines en janvier, ainsi que deux crashs mortels en 2018 et 2019.

C’est pas un peu putaclick ? Si l’avion s’est mangé d’énorme turbulences et/ou que l’équipage a fait une faute de pilotage, ça aurait été la même chez Airbus

Les recherches étaient rendues très difficiles par les “conditions météorologiques défavorables”, dont le brouillard, a indiqué le ministre de l’Intérieur Ahmed Vahidi à la télévision d’Etat. “Cela peut prendre du temps pour atteindre la zone”, a-t-il ajouté, alors que ce lieu serait situé dans la forêt de Dizmar, près de la ville de Varzaghan.

Je vais faire mon expert BFM TV, mais Dans ces circonstances, vol dans le brouillard dans une région montagneuse, et vu que de tête les pièces de rechange aéronautiques sont sous embargo en Iran. à première vue je mettrais pas “accident” entre guillemet. Après vu le bordel qu’est l’Iran tout est possible

A difficult thing is that Lemmy’s community are quite small, I see 300 subscribers. Add that, it’s the kind of communauty where making a post takes time (Find a song, use a generator, see the results, repeat) and I wouldn’t expect that much post with the current size of the c/ might evolve in the coming years/month.

Nope, but you’re not that far from the proper title
