  • Out of curiosity.

    How many of you do regularly have traditional style dungeon. I mean, everything can be seen as a dungeon Even the quest of the A38 Pass. But infiltrating the Caste of Lord and Lady Evildoer to find-out the evil ritual room hidden behind the ballroom is already kinda different from the traditional dungeon.

    And the other question, How many of you use battle-map, and need stuff more details than at best a sketch on a white board.

    Because I am always surpised there is such a market for this kind of tiles, I feel like it’s the kind of stuff you need once every few years, not the kind of stuff average group use at half of the session.




  • By definition, most political problem don’t have a clear/unique good solution. You want to build more housing ? But how do you do-it ? Even on pretty technical topic like fire-safety, where do you set the balance between blocking various industries with heavy procedure and ignoring all safety practices for the sake of efficiency ?. Look at topic like tobacco and drugs ? Do you want to ban them because it’s unhealthy ? Or allow them on the name of personal freedom ? Depending who look at the questions, it’s going to change a lot.







  • The few things I could understand about that.

    • Modern fighter jet have a huge software part. Remember the Top-Gun film where the F-14 needed an officer on the backseat to monitor radar, position, identify target and tons of stuff I have no idea about ? In machine like the F-35 it’s replaced by a computer. Like any other software it’s relatively easy to implement some permission to use-it.

    • Modern fighter are pretty complex piece of hardware, and you can’t just have a good mechanic reproducing a part with their own tools and need a whole supply chain running

    • It’s not even that new nor American only. Remember the Falkland war ? Airbus sent some french engineer to help Argentinian operating the Exocet missile because sinking a British warship is good for marketing and once done, the French gov told their British allies where the missile batteries were located (because their allies after all). Except that with modern technology, you can do both without having to have a defence industry engineer travelling. And realistically, any country exporting weapon would have way to make sure the weapon won’t be used against them (while not limiting too much their usage to not fuck their marketing)


  • You don’t even need to have someone else running their character. Just say that the character is busy/drunk/sick whatever match their role-play. Or simply have an agreement with the PC that despite being unrealistic for the sake of the game, nobody will wonder why a character can be absent in the middle of space or a dungeon without any justification.

    I understand that in game with a big focus on party balance/tactic it may-be different but this kind of the game is the exception not hte norm


  • some concept I’d love to GM, but there is not enough time a week.

    • A Vampire the requiem campaign with PC part of the Cartian movement from the french revolution to let’s say the fall of the Berlin Wall. And would follow revolution hero turning into dictator and all the alternating Dictatorship–>Revolution–>Republic --> Dictatorship that lasted for the next 150 years at least.

    • A Kult campaign based on the backroom creepy pasta. No spoiler, but I can really see how to intricate Kult lore in that one.

    • I am sure there is a way to turn the Steampunk Musical The doll of New albion where Anabel is raising up the dead into a great steampunk campaign, but not sure where to start, so it’s lower on my priority list.

    • A Fading suns campaign where the players plays symbiot, this one is on my bucket list since War in the heaven came out. However, it requires players knowing the lore and ready for some spoilers, so kinda hard to put in place.
