I love the City Watch novels, there’s some really strong character development as well as meaningful storylines, in between the gags. Enjoy the book 👍

I'm thinking FitD would be fun with the setting. You could do some crazy stuff with playbooks and special abilities, if you're into being creative. But I'll definitely have to take a look at the Quick Start Guide as well.

Thread: Steamforged Games Ltd.:: General:: I trusted you and you silenced me

Something nice, not breaking any guidelines, doing as the box required.
You shared a nothing sandwich on your Monster Hunter World: Iceborne kickstarter in update 69 and I called it out. I spent some time to share my opinion respectfully, it even was my personal addition to the publishing of commentary. Someone, I am assuming you based on other comments now, proceeded to delete my dissent. I gave y'all a loan for a game that you reasonably have delayed delivery on due to reasons like American politics causing expense issues, which I can forgive. Honestly I don't know that I can forgive my government, though I did forgive SFG for the delays. SFG silencing my dissent I cannot forgive. I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I will burn or recycle my SFG games from previous kickstarters and purchases, I haven't decided yet. No I don't think I'll share them, someone might like the fine craftsmanship, high quality pieces, and great gameplay and it might convince them to purchase more from you, which would be a failure on my part. I will share my opinion, and you will not silence me again. I was not disrespectful, but you were.
I am but one customer though know this, you turned an advocate for your products away today.
More respectfully than I'd like to be right now, or perhaps than you deserve

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD AUG 29: What place does intoxication have in your role playing games? As a GM, how do you model it? As a player, do you seek opportunities for intoxication and why?

It usually happens organically in my games. At least one player in any given game usually looks for a place to drink whenever they get somewhere new either to simply wet their whistle or pump the locals for info. I know it can be an issue depending on the player but that's just one of a million things that we as GMs have to watch out for when running a game. I do have a few good stories pertaining to that, of course, but I'll save them as I suspect that might be another QotD in this series.

Happens all the time in Cyberpunk games...though "intoxication" means heightened senses or time slowing down and serious risk of addiction, especially for combat drugs. Oh, drinking in pubs? [Insert reference to The Young One's episode where they ask kids on the street why they can't drink in pubs and proceed to sniff glue]

Ask me again tomorrow. I'm going to GM We Be Goblins! for the kids (5 first-time Roleplayers!). There's a scene where the Goblins have to gulp down half a dozen big slimy slugs. Will they choose to spit out the slightly poisonous slime bladder or are they going for speed? :D

On the lost game: A 0/weak persisted even up to Red? Destroys so mismatched earlier? sometimes can't do too much about that...
Also especially in Red I don't like 2-card/6-difficulty hazards, and 2/weapon is the weakest that late (the other being 1/below the pile) - all other 2-cards are good to great and I try strongly to get them in Yellow at least. One 2/weapon is welcome for some early raw force in Green, but not later - still 1/life1 preferred to 2/weapon at any time.
In the final situation I would have chosen 0/2ex (even if I don't like that too much either).
I didn't know much about Crystallo. Domino matching mechanic?
