Yeah but Lemmy is so terrible. I think I’ll just give up and go back to reddit. Lemmy is cool tech but if you don’t want to talk about (((the jews))), there’s not enough content and it’s a really negative space to visit.

Sure but there’s also a dog whistle aspect. Honestly though as a non-jew but also a non-jew hater it makes lemmy a really unappealing platform when every network I go on just wants to talk about (((the jews))). I know that if you click the link and read the article the word Jewish comes up 143 times and Israel 60 but guys… I just want to read about Canada or something else unrelated to the middle east.

A lot of Lemmy is obsessed with ‘the jews’. It’s honestly super tiring. I guess there’s a reason reddit still dominates.

Fangelsehala includes using a “Doom Stack” for health. Basically you have to stack d6s as you take damage and when the stack falls, that’s when your character dies.

I’ve moved away from the kind of game that has a planned plot and requires players to know a lot of rules. Many players put in as little effort as possible, to the point of not reading rules and not giving notice of a failure to show.

If you feel you need to invest in characters I’d advise only doing it for players who consistently show up.

If I was a player in this game I would stop going. It punishes committed players to put them at the mercy of the uncommitted.

I’ll send you an update once it’s done. My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I’ll have them doing Gradient Descent.

I’m prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.

They’d need to be able to boost our morale with the litanies of hate. I did play in the Deathwatch RPG though which has a Chaplain class.

Wow yikes. You sound like fun at parties. Go find someone to care about.

For the record, I think there is a loneliness epidemic for both genders.

The worst part of this is the “This is part of the story”

This is just a toxic gender wars meme. Go outside, touch some grass, meet someone nice and move on with life. Memes like this come from and perpetuate the loneliness epidemic.

Sounds horrible tbh. A big part of the hobby is meeting new friends. This sounds like a good way to become socially isolated and depressed.

In my personal experience that’s much more difficult

If this happens, the RPG is too complex for that player. Play a simpler system.

I ran a game of “Index Card RPG” with the setting “Blood & Snow”. The setting includes an adventure seed where Cavemen have to search for ancient relic pillars every generation to stop an Ice Age. I never told my players, but in my mind we were playing a Warhammer 40k game and this was a world a space marine chapter used to recruit those who were strong enough.

B/X is good. When characters have d6 hp and it’s instant death at 0 the combat becomes way more serious and tense.

Great to know thanks! Sad to say but this is much less of a news story. China doesn’t care about dual citizenship, this would have been a huge escalation if they hadn’t been and it’s click-bait that the article title doesn’t mention it.

I wish they would tell us if the Canadians also had Chinese citizenship since China doesn’t recognise dual nationals.

If you’re going to die, better to die on the main quest. I avoid side quest distractions.
