New Executive Order Targets the Homeless and Mentally Ill
What's the best vampire ttrpg that *isn't* in the Masquerade universe?
The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic.
GMs - What are your methods to mitigate no-shows?
GMs - What are your methods to mitigate no-shows? - Lemmy Today
When I write as a GM, I incorporate all of my players into the story and evolve the narrative around their characters’ backgrounds, actions, etc. So, when a player doesn’t show up regularly, it has a tendency to disrupt or even halt the game’s progress. The smaller the group, the more serious this issue becomes. I’ve had gaming groups implode over this. So what sorts of rules or understandings does your group have in place to offset the void left when a player doesn’t show up to the game? Does the absent player become an NPC under the GM’s control? Do you just ignore the fact that the PC carrying the magical Orb of Whatsit is off on holiday when the king demands the Orb to save the kingdom? Obviously, we all have real-life stuff that crops up from time to time that can prevent us from playing, but if I can commit to writing and running the game each week (barring life’s little emergencies), I don’t feel I’m being unfair to expect the same from my players. So, GMs…what are your thoughts?
Isn't Lemmy a treasure-trove for AI scrapers?
Isn't Lemmy a treasure-trove for AI scrapers? - Lemmy Today
Granted, I really don’t know much about how all this works, but the thought occurred to me that Lemmy - as wonderfully open as it is, and without any kind of ‘disappearing messages’ or other privacy protecting functionality - is basically a smorgasbord for AI scrapers. Or am I (hopefully) wrong about this?
A true classic from the days of yore
