My criticism of D&D and Pathfinder vs other RPGs can be summed up like this: in the world of D&D and PF people speak about “builds”, with other RPGs they speak about “characters”.
Once again there is a really neat deck of cards up on Kickstarter: VICE kck.st/2P4GjVT
It really sucks that Wil Wheaton got bullied away from Mastodon. Too many assholes on this planet with access to the internet. Maybe social media is a dead concept federated or not…
TIL: I am listed on RPG Geek as an RPG Designer for the game I once developed and published as a download rpggeek.com/rpgdesign…
FreeBSD put up a CoC and the assholes came from the community or were unrelated but the “leaders” put up the CoC. I should have a look at Linux distributions and what they have done regarding CoCs and main people who cannot behave.
The edge of Microsoft and Apple is probably that you do not see core developers talking in an unfiltered way in a public space.
Current state of card obsession: „I‘d like to have a black or dark back and non-classical fronts. Oh and one deck of the Touch“ #cardistry
And if you do not have an idea what a Flicker Shot is, have a look here: youtu.be/ktq2Ta41-… When I saw that move the first time I thought: how the hell is this possible‽ I need to know how this works.
I bought last month and this month a couple of tutorials and it seems that it will take ages until I learned that stuff properly. But I really like those cardistry-moves (hello Flicker Shot) and prefer sleight of hand-magic far beyond gimmicky magic tricks.
Interesting thing about the world of magic and cardistry: I can’t find pirated videos and there seems to be an ethical consensus that you do not distribute content that wasn’t meant by the artist to be made public. Or I am too stupid to search but I like the ethics-thing better.
It just took ages for me to set up an Android-device for my child because I didn’t understand parental controls. At least it seems Google has now with Family Link its own app for that.
I bought now via eBay a Wii U Pro-controller for the RetroPie and have to wait now until it arrives. How is the SN30 Pro from 8Bitdo? Better or worse than the Wii U Pro? I need some decent Bluetooth-controllers to replace the wired XBox360-controllers #retrogaming
I so do not see forward to to update my Opensmtpd-config to the 6.4-syntax. I have only one machine (and a backup mx which runs something else) and I have no idea how I should test the new configuration before putting it into production. Besides the obvious downtime…
I set my bird site-account to private and do know my blog -> mastodon-posting via a twitter-spam-account of mine. Let’s see if this time the social network move is permanent in contrast to ADN.
Podcast recommendation: My Indian Life A bollywood-actress Interviews young Indian people with an interesting background about their past. Episodes are less than 30min and the host is very likable www.bbc.co.uk/programme…
The photos alone make me want to play the game again. I’d prefer LARP with Vampire but I don’t know about a good group in Berlin nowadays and I couldn’t probably fit it into my way of life currently.
I just had a first look at the Vampire 5th Edition-rulebook and I really like the photographs they used. This fits the style of the game far better than the comic-style they used in the past (2nd was ok, too but I think Revised started the comic-style that didn’t fit)
