I mean, with the time they took for the first a segond dlc would have been released for the next console cycle. It would definitely be too many systems to support. /s

Not really both Krita and GIMP works mainly on raster images like Photoshop. Illustator is a vector graphic software. The closest foss relative of which would be Inkscape.

The thing is, Photoshop was born as a photo manipulation tool but the drawing functionality has become an industry standard (I think mostly because they give free licenses to students). GIMP is a photo manipulation tool and Krita is a digital painting software. They have overlap but neither of them aim at replacing Photoshop as a whole. GIMP may be the closest match. Krita is more comparable to ClipStudio or Corel painter imo.

I may be old fashioned, but I love to start in a tavern. It’s a place that can have a lot of npcs hanging around that can be introduced and then reappear later in the adventure.

Usually I prefer to start with the party already formed, or have the characters have a connection between each other from before the start of the adventure. Imo it speeds up the initial stages of the game and gives everyone a preexisting reason to be in the party.

I had some pain in the past with players that didn’t want to find a reason for their character to join the party, and asking them to have one as a prerequisite can help to filter too mich edginess from the scene.

I also like to start with combat or some other dangerous situation. I start with some talking and a breef introduction to the aim of the adventure, then have something unexpected interrupt the talking, a fight, then back to the talking.

I also ask them to decide it to be rolled over or rolled under.

Fork is great. I just wished there was a linux version

This article is so full of strawmans that that the DC to find a needle inside is your mother’s circumference

Does anyone know if it works with android auto?

The article is not wrong, but imo it’s seriously overplaying some of the arguments. Imo encounters were a lot easier to balance as a DM if you know your group, and the biggest issue a potential disproportionate power between an inexperienced player and one that is actively trying to break the game. Sure, you could break the game because of all the arguments discussed. Didn’t mean you had to, though.

RStudio for R and data analysis projects because it has a great integration imo. VSC for most else. I am trying neovim and considering trying emacs.

Min max means minimizing the downsides while maximizing the upsides.

Performance are good. There are some weird delays here and there, but for me the most frustrating thing is the user interface and how you navigate it. Everything is slow and laborious. Every menù is a long list. I wouldn’t call the experience optimized for controller…

I’m loving the experience, but fuck me some bosses are a pain in the ass. I’m stuck on the sea spider, does anyone have suggestions?

Honestly very little. Mac already has a lot of functionality built in. I have only specialized programs for my workflows and not much else.

The “chose what you are good for for today” dynamic looked so much fun

The Chameleon and the Thousand faces were some of my favourites in concept because of their flexibility, though I never had a chance to play them. Gish builds in general were a lot of fun. There also was a Sand mage in a desert theme manual that was very interesting.

I suppose the solution IS to spend one session on it. You need to check if everybody is alright with all rhe changes and the best way to do it is in a session 0.

I suggest sending them the pdf early and then discussing together.

Also, from my personal experience, it’s better to introduce homebrew rules slowly. People get overwhelmed by a lot of stuff all together. You can discuss the overall plan at the beginning and then itroduce the rules one by one session after session.

It’s good in a cheesy, nerdy way

I will always love this dark fantasy illustrations.

First time i saw written as Renaissance. Honestly I think Revival may be more appropriate, since i think most are looking in replicating not only the feeling, but also the mechanics of OS. I don’t think innovation per se is the focus of OSR
