Same for me. I have been reading Linus (Torvalds) posts since decades and it really seemed out of character to me. I even clicked on the link but I admit that I haven't yet understood what is going on. I have decided that it's not for me...
So long, and thanks.
There is an optional Ocr pass, from what I understand
Good job on making the right call and preemptively shutting the server down. Thanks for being alert!
One wonders how they market their services : "come to us, we are the best fake reviewers you can find on the web and these 5-star reviews prove it!"
Of course I do.
I go through several phases: sometimes I am busy reading new books, and other times I am in "reread" mode. This happens for novels and essays as well. I have always been doing that, since I was a kid, and there are books that I have been re-reading since then.
And this is without even mentioning poetry which, in my experience, expects to be read multiple times (in no small part due to the same processes by which we enjoy music - based on repetition and familiarity).
Several of my bookshelves are devoted to a single (Italian) publisher, namely Adelphi. They have a strong esthetic coherence (Google them and you will see what I mean) and within that publisher I sort by series and then by number.
Otherwise I sort by genre/category (e.g. Tolkien, scifi, photography, fiction, history,...) And within it alphabetically (by author and then by title). When I have some other cases like Adelphi (e.g. Sellerio with its blue books or Penguin classics paperbacks) I strive to achieve adjacency.
Any other approach is clearly madness and nonsense! (I move books around every few weeks :-P )
I understand. Just keep in mind that you don't need to "do the voices" or to treat it like an "improv theatre", a perfectly fine way to play is to refer to your character in third person: "so and so knocks quietly on the door and asks "is anybody in there?" Before kicking the door open with a roaring laughter"... And another player could sigh in first person, rolling her eyes: "oh no! Not again!".
As for knowing what to do, that's the job of the GM, to set up interesting scenes for the table!
The movie was quite fun! And it gave a good idea of a fun rpg session, but I prefer other game systems rather than DnD to have that kind of feeling!
Have you ever thought about trying ttrpgs?
Thanks, I still have to get the hang of this "federation" of servers-thing. I found this beehaw community and the philosophy seemed welcoming and inclusive and so I went for this! I will check out the one that you linked above. Thanks!
Hi! This is my first post here so I hope I don't make some mistakes. If you like Heroquest you could look at other dungeon crawlers, like the dungeons and dragons boardgames (my favourite is "waterdeep: the dungeon of the mad mage"), or my beloved Star wars: imperial assault or Lord of the rings: Journeys in the Middle earth. If you want to expand to other genres, since you like AH you could try Arkham horror: living card game. Absolute masterpiece.
The latest addiction to my game library is Earthborne rangers and is quite a refreshing take.
I hope that some of these resonate with you!
I may well be wrong and too naive, but I think the hate is in many cases rooted in the scary idea that they could find them attractive. And so they signal that "it could never happen to them" and that they are doing it to protect other, weaker people.
