There are some formats where inventory management becomes interesting again. We tried doing a Hexcrawl earlier this year and there was a lot of interesting gameplay to be had in the risk/reward management of how many supplies they wanted to carry vs how much they wanted to invest in pack animals, limiting their ability to carry loot back, carrying this vs that, guessing how much they’ll use before they can resupply or where future resupplies might be, gambling on whether to press forward and risk running out or turn back, that kind of thing. It’s just the more currently popular adventure structures right now (eg linear or branching narratives) where inventory tracking is superfluous.

You can always just have a penalty to will saves.

Pretty normal for us over here

I used to only have one (seemingly) female friend, and then that friend transitioned, and I started to worry what it said about me that I only had male friends. Fortunately, a year or two later most of my other friends transitioned in the other direction and balance was restored.

Had to invoke our Data Transmission policy’s AI clause for the first time

Do you? You’re just casting a spell like magic missile or anything else. Perhaps the credulous fools that wrote it thought it consumed souls, but you don’t care about their ignorant opinions.

Atheist lich that wants to live forever because he doesn’t believe in an afterlife and isn’t bothered by eating souls because he doesn’t believe they exist.

DMing you

Well, no, not really. If I forget a password I’ve only lost access to the one site, and it’s recoverable. Just an partial failure. Not going to lose everything unless I literally die in which case I don’t care about anything anymore. And no one is going to breach my brain short of tying me to a chair, and that’s not really my threat model.

Not recommended. People can and do crib the kinds of things you’re likely to have around you. It can narrow the field of guesses more than you’d think.

Well, no one else comments in these threads, might as well.

I guess what I mean is, it’s a single point of failure. Usually an extremely strong one, granted.

Basically what diceware does. It’s just that humans are really bad at picking random words (“banana” is over represented, for instance) that’s what diceware helps with.

Diceware is a method of generating random memorable passwords.

Password managers are OK but I have hesitations on them personally. I’m leery of putting all my most high-value stuff in one place behind one password. What I do instead is memorize a truly unreasonable amount of passwords, though, which I recognize is not a reasonable expectation for others. For threat models in which you’re not worried about in-person attacks, it may actually be a good idea to just write your passwords down, maybe keep your password book in something with a lock on it. I’m not advocating for any particular method, just putting it out there so people can make an informed decision.

This is what you get for making me admin, I’ve gone mad with power, muhahahahaha!

crimes o-o

Hey, if that’s what’s fun for your group, fuckit, why not?

Words describe the world, they do not determine it.

Oh no, you weren’t supposed to take me seriously

Wait till you hear about necromancy
