Question: Why does it seem that there is an inverse ratio between how fancy a VTTs web site is, and how easy it is to actually find out what games it supports?

Like holy shit trying to get a list of systems that Alchemy or Let's Role supports? Good luck. ugh.

You'd think they'd be like "Hey look! You can play all these awesome games!" but no. They're like "look! Pretty pictures & MAYBE whatever game we're promoting today"

I've overlooked the ultimate software hype - the software itself.

@Taskerland commented that my #Dragonbane flow-chart looked "Fiendish". They're not wrong, and I wanted to talk about that. More specifically about the hidden complexity in games & how designers need to think about things differently than players.

Here's a cleaned up version. Don't worry about reading the individual nodes, they're not important to this discussion.

Side note: I'd love to make these for your unreleased game in exchange for money. 😉

I've found this process difficult to perform with any objectivity.

If I ask 'is this combat?' at the start, then this would split the rest of the graph into two nearly-identical procedures, or I would just have to ask it again later (which means more steps than are actually happening).

Putting it later means I need to ask 'is this dangerous?', but if you knew this was combat, you wouldn't ask this question, so there's an extra step here.

Even without combat, it's quite unclear.

The system's just 2D6+ Attribute + Skill + Equipment vs TN for the most part, but if we take in edge cases like repeatable actions, it grows to include all possible edge cases.

Unsure if 'Attribute + Skill + Equipment' is 1 step or 3. It feels like 2 to me.

Apparently they still do.

@kyonshi@dice.camp avatar

if i noticed something when talking with outspoken pro-nuclear people it's that you really can't trust anything they say. they are intellectually bankrupt, will use all kinds of shady argumentation tactics, ad hominems, and can't even be bothered to write their own arguments (instead using AI for that)

but they do expect you to provide sources.

I wouldn't trust anything from them

malin,

@kyonshi this seems rather harsh. I don't use AI, but also don't have my own arguments. I just went with the broader Physics community.

@kyonshi we can support nuclear energy without putting it by a population, next to tsunami, with occasional earthquakes. Godzilla's the least of the worries there.

Trying to make an easy visual about how to roll stats X + Y against an opponent, and suddenly the system looks more difficult that when just writing it.

Better infographics may be required.

malin,
@malin@dice.camp avatar

@ericmpaq
It's the average of 2D6. The theory is:

Player rolls 1D6 + Stats, and GM rolls 1D6 + Stat, and compare results.

Or can make the player roll both dice, but use 1D6 - 1D6 against Target Number 0 (that's the same system, rephrased).

Or we can have the player roll 1D6 + 1D6 against TN 7.

(This is also the same system as above, we're just making the player roll the dice)

My brothers and sisters in christ, to all the PbtA Devs, because we seem to be the only motherfuckers who do this, do not say "the playbooks are available online so we aren't putting them in the print book."

For the love of god, pay the extra 2 dollars a book to print them. Otherwise, in twenty years when every download link to them is gone forever because the internet is ephemeral, your game will be literally unplayable.

Despite support, I claim exemption to this edict on the grounds of git.

Encounters in BIND change each month (as real-time passes between sessions) so a QR code provides them, and automatically updates.

But the books won't vanish, as everyone who works on one takes a full copy. Microsoft buried one copy beneath the Northern snow, so it may outlast the cockroaches.

malin,
@malin@dice.camp avatar

@masukomi @Covok not 'github' - git. I'm using it as the decentralised service it was intended to be. It's on half a dozen sites, and if they all die, developers with a copy can put it up again, and a new QR is born.

Of course, a PDF with the book would be better, but it won't update when the basilisks hibernate, so you may as well use the tables in the book.

'Covok' minus 'v' = 'cook'.

Cooks fry (or caramelise) onions.

kyonshi, to mastodon
@kyonshi@dice.camp avatar

it's interesting how I lately have started to move a lot of my online activities back to #Thunderbird (on Windows)/#Claws Mail (on Linux) as standalone desktop applications. It is quite convenient to have all the different communication channels I am interested in in one single spot. (email, usenet, rss, irc)

In fact #Mastodon is the outlier, nobody so far seems to be interested in making a Thunderbird plugin for that. Although I guess I could use the bitlbee plugin @kensanata made for that.

malin,
@malin@dice.camp avatar

Google: everything is a web-app, hosted only here.

: fracture the internet! Use more ports! Self-host!

@kyonshi: everything is Thunderbird. Ports end at 25.

@kyonshi I have a feint notion to set one up for a Vampire game running in real time at 1 day per month or similar. No logins, just instant access to Elysium.

@masukomi@dice.camp avatar

I'm using AI to generate placeholder images in my game's layout (good for feel & tone). I'll replace them with actual human creations later.

It's hard, because AI REALLY doesn't "understand" anything. So if it's not standard (i.e. the crap we come up with for games) it's gonna get tripped up.

This is one of those mistakes, but also it's SO DAMN CUTE I had to share.

I'm not sure what game these 4 belong in, but I'm confident I want to play it.
