Finished my latest playthrough of KCD2 as a stealth-focused character. I found that, at least toward the end of the game, no one slept in villages or camps. They were always walking around and also I poisoned a lot of food pots and wine barrels, but no one consumed them.
So, has anyone noticed if there's a point to this? Is it even possible to poison enemy soldiers?
I have a lot of systems I'd love to try and although I GM some of them, I just don't have the time or bandwidth to GM all of them. The same goes with my campaign/character ideas/concepts.
So I'm looking for a GM who would like to engage in a collaborative, personal 1-on-1 experience to enjoy better pacing and narrative depth.
About the Player:
Ideal GM:
At this point, I almost exclusively play 1-on-1 and am willing to try a lot of different systems. My preferences tend toward simulationism and less rules-light.
A Few Concepts/Themes I Enjoy:
Please feel free to PM me your Discord info to discuss further and set up a call.
So I just finished October Faction, mainly because I couldn't sleep. It was crazy bad. How did something this atrocious land on Netflix and not regular daytime American TV?
I can understand poor acting, worse writing, low budget, and crappy CGI. But even the GUNS were bad! They sound like laser guns from 1970s space fiction! Who does that!?
Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me I'm not the only one.
Anyway, what are your thoughts, everyone?
My friend and I are trying to setup a massive urban map on Foundry and thus need a high DPI image of a city map with things like buildings, roads and rail lines. We've tried to use various tools to force a Google map of a city, and it gets close, but the maps can EITHER be zoomed in enough to show buildings and roads, or far out enough to show the whole city.
Does anyone have ways to make a large metropolis map (even just with square buildings) from a Google Maps image?
I've tried Promblemtrain's random city generator, it just doesn't have some of the other things we need.
Dark alleys, old-school fashion, revolvers in waistcoats, swords in canes, vampires, intrigue, mad scientists, serial killers, investigations, the occult, etc.
How's that tagline?
I'm interested in playing a 1-on-1 Dark Victorian kind of game loosely inspired by fiction such as Call of Cthulhu, Dracula, Penny Dreadful, Hellblazer (Constantine), and various Urban Fantasy IPs.
I'm in my mid 30s and have had some bad experiences with younger GMs online. So I need a GM who is friendly and at least somewhat reliable (life happens) and 25+. I'm open to any experience level!
System: as I've tagged in the title, I'm open to a few different ways to run this game. I have the wild west RPG Rider, Call of Cthulhu 7th and Unhallowed Metropolis, all of which could prove helpful. Do you have other ideas? Share them!
The Setting: I'm looking for a massive urban sprawl, the decaying heart of a decadent society with class conflict and conceal horrors. Magic should be ritualist, dark and persectuted. Corruption, bribery, vampirism, the occult and restless dead, underground chambers, airships and witches. Combustion and steam-powered carriages, motorcycles, etc..
Especially Interested In:
Send me a PM if you want to discuss!
I've been impressed as a first-time poster here, at the level of bias and pro-violence the members here possess. Has anyone done any polling or census work in here to sort out all the inherent bias?
I've actually just had someone here tell me a 9-month pregnant woman up against a wall, unarmed and surrounded by cops, "poses a threat" because she could "scratch" an officer with her fingernails and thus deserved to be thrown to the ground.
Could all the neo-nazis in the sub please stand up?
So, I'm posting this because I'd like to hear from anyone in the sub involved in law enforcement. When you watch the video and read the response from law enforcement in the article, what is your first thought as someone involved in the same career?
I'm trying to understand why an officer would throw a non-resiting, non-threatening and unarmed 9-month pregnant woman around like a rag-doll then others would actually JOIN IN. If you were an officer in this arrest, would you help the woman or do as these did and help attack her?
If your answer is the latter, please explain why. Because if there's a good reason, I'd love to know as it's entirely possible I'm missing something here. Help me understand the psychology of law enforcement.
I hate to even post this question for fear of it being labeled as bait, but if it is, then surely that just means there's no good answer?
Addendum: I wasn't expecting much positivity when I made this post. But the level of delusion from some of the commenters astounds me. It's incredible how we can watch the same footage and someone can say the officer is the victim. Blows my mind. Either I'm very concerned for your mental health, or you're such a compulsive denier that nothing you say can be given any credit anyway.
I have an opportunity to play either version of Harnmaster in the title. The one from Columbia and the one from Kelestria. However, I can't find any good videos on Youtube comparing the two, just reviewing one by itself.
Could someone give me the highlights of just the differences between the two? I'd appreciate it.
Note: I'm coming from a lot of systems, including Runequest/Mythras, Call of Cthulhu, ACKSII, etc. so I'm not uncomfortable with skills based on attribute combinations, etc.. I'm just wondering why I would pick one of these versions over the other.
I've recently been exposed to Adventurers, Crusaders and Kings 2 through an open table. However, I'm a bigger fan of character-focused games and would like to play 1-on-1 for better depth/focus/continuity.
If anyone is familiar with this system or wants to learn it through GMing for a single player, please PM me your Discord info and let's talk!
About Me:
Hello everyone! I'm interested in trying the Eldritch game, using the Year Zero Engine. I'd like to find a GM who is OK with 1-on-1 games so that we can explore a personal struggle and horror story.
I'm from the eastern US and in my mid-30s, so I'm looking for someone of a similar age. I also have no content restrictions. For those who are interested, I've been in the hobby for about 16 years now as a GM and player in a lot of systems. I'm not too concerned about your experience level, so if you're new to the system or to GMing at all, no problem.
Character Idea:
A man who delves into the darkness of the game's early 20th (or late 19th) century with pistol and forbidden knowledge. He's seeking something, maybe revenge, or understanding, which we can work out together when we talk.
Anyone who's interested, please feel free to PM me your Discord info.
So over the past 5 years or so, I've noticed that Reddit moderators seem to be tightening the noose on what is and isn't "acceptable". The problem is, that doesn't always line up with the rules of the subreddit, or even Internet culture.
In the last 2-3 years I've been banned or had my posts removed more than anywhere and anytime in my 20+ years on the Internet (remember dial-up?). Keep in mind, I'm not very politically radical or anything and up until the last five years, I was almost never removed, censored or banned from anything. Most of what I talk about is gaming, writing, etc..
So I decided to do a little research and I found something pretty disturbing:
Notice, you won't find complains in appropriate places like the Steam subreddit, because the rules prohibit posting anything about steam support there. Including bans, complains or even discussions. I know because I've had several messages over the past few years removed, even though they were innocent open discussions on how Steam works. Moreover, I was even told to leave a subreddit about a TV show, because I opened a discussion about ways the show could have been better. They told me "this is a place for fans of the show", even though the subreddit didn't say that. They didn't ban me, but it was a pretty big show of stupid.
So, to be clear:
I just read a 7-year old post on this very subreddit about something similar and have recently had some bad experiences on Steam forums (unheard of until the last few years), even though we know the moderators there don't work for Valve.
So I suspect this issue is actually much larger, we just can't see all of it because of all the restrictions. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hell, even this post will probably be deleted, at least by the automoderator or because someone thinks I'm breaking rule #3 without reading the context.
What do you all think this means for Reddit? Are we being choked out of our ability to talk anything, anywhere? Is decentralized moderation no longer working?
I'm an avid roleplayer and prefer grounded settings/games focused on resources, manpower, NPC interactions, etc.. Having been in the hobby for about 15 years as a GM and a player, I've found I just prefer 1-on-1 games.
I'd really love to experience Harn and thought I'd come here to note my interest for a GM. I'll include some info below, but feel free to PM me any questions or your Discord if you're interested.
About Me:
Some Systems I Already know:
Hi folks! I've run across a lot of interesting-looking books at the store and wanted to give them a try. So I decided to go to Reddit. What could go wrong? I'm looking for a flexible GM who wants to learn any of these games with me and, if we don't like it, we can move to something else.
Some Interesting Games/Settings:
I GM for gruops without issue but my prefered playstyle is (as the title states) 1-on-1 for easier social setting, scheduling and being able to play a highly-active character. I have a working sense of humor and don't have a lot of content restrictions.
Please feel free to PM me with your Discord to arrange a talk.
Additional Notes:
I don't know about everyone else, but i would LOVE to have a way to to not hear about sales on my wishlist unless they are at least 70% off. I get so many notifications about 15%, 20%, etc.. Yet the game prices are staying so high for years and years, that it's not even worth it, lol.
/rant
I feel kind of stupid for asking, but in different episodes/shots/images, Revy has different color hair. Is it supposed to be red or purple, according to canon? Or do we even know?
I've had groups of players/GMs tell me in the past that there is no induction process for Delta Green, no training or similar thing. Yet I saw a live play where the GM ran the handler as pushing the agents to follow "protocols" and he even mentioned "Delta Green Training".
So I'm wondering: what IS the induction process for someone invited to join Delta Green?
Hello! I have seen a number of not-so-well-known systems while purusing DriveThru and I have to admit that some of them look very interesting. Among these are games that play like an action movie or take place in a modern setting.
I'm a very active roleplayer in my 30s from the eastern US and I'm looking for a GM to run 1-on-1 games with me. I'm very collaborative and reliable, so I'm looking for the same. I also have a wide availability right now.
Please feel free to send me a PM with your Discord username if you're interested and we can talk about it.
