Look what we found at Deemers, yesterday!

I'm working on lots of different things today, hoping to have the next Mythic Monday report done on-time and maybe some other progress to share by Tuesday... and I'm eating chips. Yum!

Happy Saturday and happy playing!

I could only imagine running this sort of scene if, in the midst of the celebration, something shocking happened. Otherwise a celebration like this would likely be given short shrift in my experience

In Pendragon, the reason to have the soirée is to (1) get the rumors, and (2) get the glory for the conspicuous consumption, and (3) get some experience checks by using some non-combat skills.

Yes in that sort of context, where the celebration served a narrative purpose beyond simply glorifying previous accomplishments, I could see playing such a scene.

Again, as someone who isn't particularly motivated for world-building in general, this is a hard no. Although I would like to play something like Dialect in which there's apparently a (very limited) creation of a language as a part of the play of the game.

I tried when I was a teen. It didn't stick. Now I don't have time. I also feel like I don't know enough about linguistics. It would be very cool but really only show up in-game in place names the players will forget or mispronounce the whole game. So the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Still think it's really cool for those who do though.

While I'd never do it for a game (see my previous response) if that is a hobby you want to try, there are resources that are meant to be good for people getting into conlanging that aren't necessarially from a linguistics background. I think How to create a Language by Jessie Peterson is meant to be a very strong introductory textbook on the subject. There are reviews of it out there. And less formal resources for it exist on various youtube channels.

I had a character set up for a Fading Suns game who was from a lost colony world that had managed to mostly retain their technolgy from the Second Republic. They were part of an expedition to rejoin the worlds once the gates reopened. Where they were attacked and the ship mostly dstroyed with my character as the only free survivor. They actually understood computers ("Think Machines" in FS lingo) they were able to hack the system to forge an identity while they tried to find out if anyone else survived and how to get home and away from these crazy people. To that end, they made their own guild, something along the lines of the Moisture Suspension Guild (it has been a bit), but the idea was it was, in fact, the Vapor-ware Guild as it did not actually exist, Sadly, that game also became vaporware . . .

Their previous projects have been well done lists with nary a bit of AI in sight. I'm backing this one, too.

Ugh. The very worst AI art has to offer. 😞

Lack of time, energy, and skill. Nothing major.

Good timing on when to launch this campaign.

Am I the only one who was surprised to see this was for DCC and not TFT? The look of it reminds me of the old TFT books.
