About Me

"Hey! I'm Dyer, I've been playing RPGs for going on 30 years, my older brother started playing them with me before i hit double digits and I'm familiar with a wide variety of games. I am a progressive, non-adversarial GM that believes in player agency and table safety. I also absolutely love teaching people new games, and thought this would be a great way to do that"

Cyberpunk RED, "sleeping uncomfortable" rules

If you sleep alone in your bed, you can have a buddy crash on your couch and everything is fine.

If you sleep with a spouse/partner in your bed, and a buddy crashes on your couch all 3 of you suffer a -2 fatigue penalty the next day

The American version of Christianity is so cool it's like a post apocalyptic cult that grew out of half-remembered Bible stories syncretized with TV shows, with firearms as totems of deathbringing and lifesaving in equal measure. WWIII hasn't even started yet folks and they're already streets ahead.

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

Dauphin County pastor under fire for pointing assault-style rifle during sermon

In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'

Justice Department lawyers reposted President Trump’s statements and may have inadvertently endangered their prosecution of Luigi Mangione, violating the judge’s explicit orders that DOJ employees refrain from public comment about the case. trib.al/b9U7CY1

-2* oops but you get it 😂

Also "crammed" (the above rule) automatically grants a +2, being homeless or sleeping in the wilds gives you a DC 15 check to prevent fatigue

You are "sleeping uncomfortable" if you are sleeping in housing with a number of persons greater than 1 + the number of bedrooms it has (not beds, as has been pointed out on a reddit thread when i poked around) bedrooms. Also "not sleeping on a bed" is not anywhere in "sleeping uncomfortable" 😂

Also apparently the above scenario is worse than being homeless or sleeping in the wilderness (there you get a check to avoid fatigue)

It's fucking weird to be living in like at least ten different apocalypses at once.

Most apocalypse stories don't stack more than five.

As I'm (🍁) no longer interested in headed to the US I have a pair of tickets to the Viva Mas Vegas D20 show on Nov 1 that won't go to use. If any of "my" people here are interested I'd be happy to chat before I try to sell them in another way.

We just watched these and my wife is surprised they ended up being our favorite franchise! And in our opinion get better as the franchise goes on (which, rare)

Of course, my heroes have to approach through the sewers and then the catacombs to slip passed the Angelic Wards and High Tech defenses protecting the Vatican.

BasiliskOnline🦎 @basiliskonline.bsky.social · 1d

The spirit was deafeted but had to be sealed in the deep catacombs beneath the vatican that were then walled off.

LONG time ago. There was a disgraced pope (based on pop stephen VI who was deposed and imprisoned after riots against him, and died strangled in the sewer) who came back as the ghostly Pope Tenebris at the head of an undead army to try to conquer the vatican. ->
