The problem with this plan is that bad people are richer than good people. By, like, pretty much all of the money.

I don’t want to be political, but the government decided that me existing should be illegal. So now me posting about fashion or makeup or whatever is automatically political now.

They were just bigots?

🔫 Always have been

I’d say it’s probably closest to Dungeon World? It is a d12 system, and the design of the character classes is pretty clearly inspired by Apocalypse World and the like, but it drops some of the quirkier, fluffier aspects of those systems for a more d20-like approach.

For example, combat is a little crunchier and a little closer to d20 systems - it’s still theater of the mind but there are turns and initiative. Your character has an attack modifier, damage die, and a defense score that determines how hard you are to hit - which work in ways familiar to d20 players. Some characters also have Block, which is damage reducton. If you roll poorly on your attack, though, you can be counterattacked - but the players can do that to enemies on their turn, too, so it balances out.

You also make skill checks like you would in a d20 system, though it does still use the degrees of success that PtbA is known for. But you don’t have that little quirk of the NPCs only acting when the PCs make a move. NPCs don’t have stats for things like skill checks, but there’s nothing stopping the GM from assigning an appropriate modifier and rolling for NPCs if needed - although the players should still be using their skills whenever possible. And when the PCs are elsewhere on the map, the GM is encouraged to keep NPCs and factions proactive and advancing their own plans.

Thank you for being a backer. It’s a wonderfully crafted system!

In the US? I’d say it’s pretty safe to be a little gender nonconforming unless you’re really out in the sticks. If you were properly nonbinary I would be a little more careful, but still most people will live and let live.

As a trans person, we have a lot more to fear from the federal government than from our neighbors, at least in ~80% of the country.

Billionaires are evil, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are all consciously evil. They’re “evil” like cancer.

Of course, many of them are consciously evil, too, but obviously that part is a choice.

Please tip. They don’t pay us here

This has got to be some kind of protest bill. Otherwise, why would it specifically call out ‘use of contraceptives’ as an exception?

Ideas are cheap. Execution is what matters.

No one here in a lemmy comment section could do enough just by leaving a comment to even deserve a menton in the game’s credits.

You could do part puzzle game, part rts. What I mean by rts is that you can give the knight commands but you can’t control him directly. And maybe he doesn’t always do what he’s told, and you have to account for that somehow?

Could make for an interesting roguelike, too, as you try to help this endless stream of knights rescue you.

I don’t know what the implied demographic is, but I assume I am not in it.

The demographic is people who care more about being free from corporate controlled media than they care about a shiny, polished user experience. (i.e. free open source software [FOSS] enthusiasts) This is necessarily the case because of the relationship between sites like Lemmy and sites like, say Reddit. Reddit is absolutely more polished, but Lemmy is more resistant to enshittifcation.

Naturally tech nerds are both more aware of the dangers of corporate controlled software and more able to make the switch, so you get a lot of them as your early adopters.

I suppose that vibe is part of why I don’t feel the desire to venture further into the fediverse.

I really hope you change your mind. Both because Lemmy definitely feels “further in” than something like mastodon or pixelfed, but also because these sites really do need mainstream adoption in order to compete with the tech giants.

Oh, absolutely. I would love for lemmy (and fediverse generally) to have more reach.

I mean it is 😅

But we’re also on the fediverse. That does imply a certain demographic too.

Boy do I feel this. Dissociate, panic, dissociate, panic…

Well you can only cram in so many jokes at once. Would have been funny though

Honestly Randall absolutely would put the year in the middle just to fuck with us

This may or may not be the darkest timeline (it’s pretty close)… but it’s 100% the stupidest.

I’m surprised anyone on Lemmy isn’t aware of that one. I 100% would have spelled it out of not for the fact that this audience is 95% Linux nerds.

I haven’t, but I could maybe see myself doing that
