- Digesting dates is hardcore.
- This morning I woke with a pound of lead for a belly.
- Got a phone number from an Italian girl last night. What do I do now?
- #rpgtweory Games that systematically offer characters short term gain for the threat of long term sacrifice?
- #rpgtweory I suppose what I’m getting at is the side-effect rule. Contra-indications at the table top. E.g., power vs sanity. Fun?
- Cobweb stuff: Trying to figure out when temptation becomes risk, and how/whether to measure the price of power. Is there fun in here?
- Negotiating whether to go to the pub or to stay at home and build a sandwich.
- Diaspora is doing well. Congratulations! http://www.vsca.ca/halfjack/?p=392
- #rpgtweory I’m not asking about cause and effect. I’m looking for a successful system that use a particular mechanic to endorse/punish risk.
- #rpgtweory …think of it like the scag test. I take a hit of smack, ooh that feels good inside me, I get +10d6. Now I’m coming down…
- #rpgtweory …I gain an addiction point which I’ve got to spend on some problematic roleplaying encounter. Any good mechanical examples.
- #rpgtweory Touche. I suppose I’m looking to attest the “should” with working example(s). But then it wouldn’t be theory?
- Just finished last series of Deadwood. Now I feel like I lost a pet. Sniff.
- In response to @fredhicks http://bit.ly/ddUgkW I started a mailing list for Hell for Leather… mail HFL-RPG+subscribe@googlegroups.com
