  • Potentially weird question: if you had to assign a #dnd alignment to the fear of spiders, what would you give it?

    Jump

  • Quoting the wise Sage Yoda

    Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Since darkness is traditionally liked to evil the "Dark side" is so aligned to. And Fear is thus the path to Evil leading to the conclusion that Fear, and being filled by Fear, is aligning, or being aligned to, Evil. So on the Good-Evil axis Fear of Spiders is aligned to Evil. Fear being an emotion have no intrinsic aligned towards Order or Chaos, how it affects the person is individual.

    Therefore Fear of Spiders (arachnophobia) is Neutral Evil.

  • Your DnD Party is Too Big [the maths of scheduling]

    Jump

  • If there are three players present I'll run. Unless there is something big upcoming, then we'll discuss if we want to postpone. I usually say "I want four players, so I'll recruit to five, and run with three".

  • The Balkans and Anatolia in the year 1444

    Jump

  • I'm in a similar boat. According to steam haven't opened EUIV since 2017 and now I have a huge relearning curve. And new DLC to get. While I would love to get back into it I have better (path) things (of) things (exile) to (two) do.

  • What do you use as map-making software?

    Jump

  • Inkscape enjoyer here. The vector based tech makes it not that limited to my skill at drawing but rather how I can manipulate the vectors and points. Make things thinner or wider, change a curvature etc. And nothing is set in stone. I'm using it for everything. World maps, region maps, settlements, dungeons. You name it. For dungeons (and inside locations) I gathered all my most used assets to save time.

    Some examples

  • The Balkans and Anatolia in the year 1444

    Jump

  • Most recognizable trigger from said image - Reinstalling EUIV

    Sigh... here I go again...

  • Which system new to you are you aiming to play in 2025?

    Jump

  • "New to me" it may technically be but I'm going to start up something with Ironsworn: Starforged: Sundered Isles (yes I'm calling it that, fight me). Have used both Ironsworn and Starforged before but not Sundered Isles.

    What actually would be new to me is Fey Borg as I've yet to run anything Borg. Barely anything OSR at all.

  • Your most used RPG books and accessories?

    Jump

  • Shawn Tomkin's Ironsworn series. Delve I regularly use for setting up point crawls. Ironsworn/Starforged/Sundered Isles have great collections of random tables, I use the book thematically most fitting for the situation at hand. The core tables of Action, Theme, Descriptor and Focus all get heavy use.

    Kevin Crawford's [SOMETHING] Without Number series have awesome tables as well. These however get more use when I need more detail. Prep stuff. Again most thematic book is picked first but I do have used Cites (cyberpunk) for fantasy cities.

    When I want to create background for "medieval fantasy" characters I pick up Burning Wheel and burn something up. Through that I get a good selection of relevant skills to sue (for flavor)

    Anything related to cosmos and mythology I say HELLO! to my growing collection of Glorantha material. From cult books to magic tomes and Atlases.

  • There has to be another way

    Jump

  • Damn I'm feeling you. I'm in the fall process (solidly down 15kg/33lb, approaching 20kg/44lb) with about 10-15kg to go. When my belly stops flapping I'm good I think. But I fear the rebound... Currently lots of my evening snacking have disappeared because of evening gym classes, so late home and even later dinner. So I don't have time anymore to get snacky. Or if I do it's almost bedtime anyway so I'll just go to bed instead.

    But once I've hit my goal and don't need to hit gym that hard anymore... That frightens me. A little bit at least. Made some good connections there and got a routine going so i can probably keep it up.

  • Yellow chantarelles on a burrow

    Jump

  • I had gotten it into myself that boars make use of burrows. But I may be very, very wrong.

  • Yellow chantarelles on a burrow

    Jump

  • I hope so. Other option would be fox. Boar I don't think, too small. And I really don't want it to have been a boar burrow as it wouldn't then been unlikely with piglets in it. With ANGRY mamma nearby...

  • What's an activity that you could foresee yourself doing every weekend for the rest of your life?

    Jump

  • Hitting the gym

  • Root causes

    Jump

  • What do you mean capitalism WAS a misstake? Did I miss a memo?

  • Which GM-dere are you?

    Jump

  • Another Himedere checking in. I love setting up situations where the players and/or the characters squirm in anguish about what to do.

    My favorite so far was an estranged princess living as a man and hostel owner. He had turned his back on the throne and wanted little to do with it. As a bonus he was the only child of the king's only remaining child. Fast forward a bit and he needed a (legal) favor from the king. Went to court and met with his grandfather. The king would do it, no strings attached if a) he returned to court and resumed his duties as prince and b) sired an heir.

    There were a good thirty minutes of the players anguishing if he should accept while going deep into character motivations and the setting. During that game I don't think I did as much concrete worldbuildning as during those thirty minutes. I loved it, the players loved it. Great time.

  • The Christian right is coming for divorce next

    Jump

  • Issue in that case I rather see as why is it allowed to enter into legally binding agreements when you aren't sober. Why there isn't a (forced) period to review the papers.

    Marriage is a legally binding agreement. Let's treat it as such.

    Jump

  • The Swedish vacation law (Semesterlag 1977:480) amateurishly translated by me. And I am in no way experienced enough in our labour law to comment on how it looks for those not working full time. The short lesson is to Remember Ådalen, or those that fought, bled and died four our labour rights.

    4 § En arbetstagare har rätt till tjugofem semesterdagar varje semesterår [...]An employee have right to twentyfive vacation days per year

    12 § Om inte annat har avtalats, ska semesterledigheten förläggas så, att arbetstagaren får en ledighetsperiod av minst fyra veckor under juni-augusti[...]If nothing else have been agreed upon, the vacation is to be scheduled such that the employee get a vacation period of at least four weeks during june -august

    Unions work. Labour movements work.

  • How China is helping keep the Russian economy afloat

    Jump

  • As long as the Russian bear is around to scare the west and occupy our mibds the Chinese dragon is at much more liberty to do whatever they want.

  • Yacht Sinks After Being Rammed by Orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar, Again 🫡

    Jump

  • Love the addition of "again".

    I mean if you don't want your yacht sunk then don't sail it where orcas sink yachts. Sorry but actually not sorry for the casual victimblaming.

  • What is the "Correct" Speed Limit? (Not Just Bikes)

    Jump

  • Spoiler it is 30km/h. After that noise and injury risk/severity shoot up. It is the compromise speed.

  • The most natively spoken languages in Pakistan

    Jump

  • How easy it for those speaking the different languages to understand eachother?

  • What RPG have you been dying to run?

    Jump

  • So many. And the answer to all "why nots?". Time. It's time. So off the top of my head
