Damn dude if you could maybe work up a fraction of a % of the anger your constituents feel that might go over better. Fucking make us feel like you're actually doing stuff as a start at least. Then, once you've nailed that, MAYBE you can upgrade to taking definitive action.

I'm starting to lean more towards that Fermi paradox explanation of intelligent life tending to destroy itself as being the most likely explanation.

This looks fantastic! Is it for something in particular or just trying out the new pen?

Thinking about old dice, like way back when they were made of bones and wood they must have all been totally unbalanced and people thought they were just super lucky or unlucky and got killed over it for cheating cause they didn't know the density of the material wasn't uniform.

The end goal would be for the convoy to reach a destination on the other side of the map an establish a permanent colony that is self sustaining with farmed food and animal husbandry. Because there's seasons in the game, the timing could be enforced by "get from A-B, set up, survive winter".

In remote/rural areas it's unlikely that a large pack of zombies will show up mid-rp, but still possible. You're never really totally safe. The game also caters to all sorts of roles, from combat heavy folks that slay zombies to mechanics, tailors, smiths, doctors etc.

This allows for both the drama and excitement of packing up the camp and driving the dangerous roads to the next town, finding a place, securing it, and still having room for small groups to go out and forage.

I think Project Zomboid has the most potential to achieve the vibe of #Over/Under . Now that build 42 has gone multiplayer, in a month or two when this unstable build is less buggy I think that's the move. An RP server where everyone plays as a nomad convoy, scheduled "event" when the camp moves.

Trying to trim down rpg room description text is like hacking away at some sort of magical blackberry bush that regrows almost instantly. That writing phrase about killing your darlings? I just need them to fuck off for a bit. The text is improving, but the length isn't tonight!

Please give me your recs for no-skip albums, headphones on, volume up, music that's good for doing that flow state time travel shit while working on things you can auto-pilot through. Going to see if I can OD on coffee and skip the work portion of tomorrow to get to the fun part.

Wondering if any rpgs use the UNO deck instead of dice. I've heard of Jenga and regular playing card decks used of course, but UNO is as common as Jenga, maybe more so. Could be an untapped resource. Death save! SKIP!

Playtested a #FISTrpg thing involving sentient vehicles. Quotes: "My reliant robin is trying to go back into its meat form and get back up to the VW bug.. -Jay " and "Biblically accurate 18 wheeler" -Amber and "It's a sentient suicide bomber?" -Triss (about a mini Cooper with a remote detonator).

Tomorrow is first play test of @discodan.bsky.social's and my take on a sentient vehicle module in #FISTrpg. Trying a funnel mission where regular level 0 FIST recruits try and rescue intelligent vehicles during a high speed chase involving a traitor truck hauling captive vehicles for CYLCOPS.
