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.
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.
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.
Ah oui, il y a vraiment un problème. Puis la question qui va derrière, c’est quelles vont êtres les conséquences long terme sur le secteur de la sécurité ? On risque pas de se retrouver avec plus de gens qualifié que de postes dans 6 mois et donc une baisse des salaires ?
Vu la quantité de shitpost sur reddit, dont une partie est du même assumé, ça va pas améliorer la qualité des data des résultat de chatGPT. Ce qui est cool c’est qu’il va nous parler en long en large des backroom, des la porte de l’enfer dans les catacombes de paris et tout ça.
Par contre, une pensée pour tous les artistes naï.f·ve·s qui ont mis leurs oeuvres sur reddit et vont voir leurs contenu être utilisé pour entrainer des IA
Je vais X-post sur !forumlibre car je sens que ça interesser les gens là bas aussi
Completely random stoned hypothetical. Lets day im old as fuck and I decide I’m ready and done. Could I have the same postmortem autopsy done on me while I’m still alive? Like give me a ton of drugs and let me watch myself get dissected as my final moments. I understand there is a legal and possibly moral concern, but is it...
In general you cannot consent in being assassinated, and even in place where euthanasia/assisted suicide is legal, there is still a strict process to make-it cleanly rather than cutting down a person in piece
I got in on an earlier flight, and arrived at 6 it was a pain in the ass… I literally had to walk around for like 4 hours until things opened, and I was so tired and weary all day.
Note that in some case, it’s possible to get an earlier check-in. For ordinary customer it might be a paying service, for corporate customer and member of loyalty program it may be a complementary service. Just give a call to the hotel. Same applies to late check-out it’s sometimes possible to check-out at 14 or even 16.
But the neon colour made me think about the rainbow flag colour, so I tried to get a pride flag on the image, put the US in negative prompt, and generated a lot of cool images.
