The players were very quick at figuring things out, so it actually did not take very long for us (a bit over an hour?), which kind of surprised me. Short runtime aside, we all had a lot of fun. Probably the most intense moment was when the scientist rolled two critical failures in a row, leading to her near death by synthroid. This was happening after the time loops had been stopped, so death would have been permanent. Fortunately, the other player (there were only 2), who was a marine, saved her by successfully killing the synthroid with a pulse rifle. This was possible because the two of them had already significantly weakened the synthroid by trapping it in the laser tunnel outside the security checkpoint, which I thought was pretty smart of them.

I really enjoyed Decagone and they did too. The time loops were fun and not terribly difficult to manage. One thing that I found helpful was that I wrote down first lines of dialogue that NPCs like Ned would say just so that it remained consistent across time loops. I also set the noise that goes off at the end of the timer to be an elevator ding, which I think was a nice touch if I do say so myself. I would totally recommend giving this module a try 😊

Hello, I am being told that CCS (Community Crisis Stabilization) might be an option for me. It is an alternative to inpatient that provides around the clock care for just a few days. I have PTSD and have really been struggling, but I don't want to go to the hospital again, which is why this might be good. I don't know if it would help me though. Has anyone here been to a program like this, and did you find it helpful?

I don’t know what is next. I feel hopeless and like I’ve run out of options. I need help and I have no faith anymore that I’ll ever be able to get it. For context, the reason they didn’t accept me is because they primarily work with people who have experienced CSA, but they did not say that anywhere on the website or when we talked to them beforehand. I’ve been told that more help exists for people who have “extreme” trauma than for people like me who I guess don’t have it as bad (my PTSD comes from abusive staff at a psychiatric facility). But it is destroying me and I need help.

I’ll also add that the crisis intervention person I saw today said I could go to CCS (community crisis stabilization) as an alternative to hospitalization since I’ve been feeling really bad. It’s 3-5 days. I don’t know if that would even help at this point because I need PTSD-specific treatment and ai don’t see what they would do. If anyone here has been to CCS and could tell me a little about what it is like, I would appreciate that.

Hi, I'm looking at the map provided with Decagone and I can't figure out the particle accelerator room. Are players meant to walk through the ring tunnel shown in the middle of the room? And the PPA- the module says that if it is removed, the first person to exit the room will be hit by a stream of rogue particles. Why would that only happen when they exit the room and not immediately? Is there something about the layout of this room that I am missing?

I have no eyebrows left. I am going to be bald again probably. I am just so disgusted with myself. Last night, I was understandably upset, so I was crying and I made a slight, very brief screaming noise at one point, so the people in the dorm room next to me called the police, so that was just the cherry on top.

I have been really struggling with my PTSD and am applying to a day treatment program for trauma for this summer. The questionnaire that was part of the application had a long list of common traumatic experiences you could check off, and I felt incredibly guilty that mine wasn't on the list. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that my traumatic experience did not threaten my life, I just feel like I am stealing help from someone who actually needs it by even applying to be in this program. But I am struggling so much, I can barely function. Sometimes I doubt if I even meet the criteria for PTSD despite my diagnosis since there was no serious injury involved (though it certainly came close to getting physical, I doubt it would have risen to the level of serious injury given the context).
