I first realized I was different while talking to my brother in our early teens. We both read fast, he a little faster. I asked if he would skim or some other trick to get through quicker. He responded that as he read it was like watching a movie in his mind. I compared that to what I saw, which...

I primarily dm and have aphantasia. I don’t really visualize things, but have a sort of list I access if doing theater of the mind. I actually prefer to do theater of the mind because drawing something up while doing is way to taxing and I end up with wires crossed between things and get...

It is pretty much a pathfinder flavored “vampire survivors”. Which is a video game

One of my favorite parts of having aphantasia is that nothing is ever how I picture it, because I can’t. It makes so many more things enjoyable for me to not have preconceived ideas of visuals/sounds for any media or games I consume. When I gm I prefer to play totm because mapping is taxing...

I love Vaesen and Tales from the Loop. I have not picked up anything else because the other offerings would not get played by my group. I would buy every game they offer if I had the budget to do so. Their rules for each game are designed to support the setting and fiction.

I have aphantasia and am a dm. I prefer story driven games over tangible map or figure driven games because it lets me focus on how the story makes me and others feel instead of hyper fixating on the now tangible thing I cannot see in my mind. Throwing out a map, or using a zone based ruleset...

Vaesen is a system I really enjoy that has players dealing with supernatural entities that usually cannot be dealt with by brute force. I think it may give you some ideas on maguffins, rituals, research, or whatever to counter or deal with an otherwise overwhelming enemy. I am inspired to do...

Great pick for a new doctor. I enjoyed his work in Sex Education and will enjoy his Doctor as well

I found time to drop an update. I brought the cake and a plan to work and my boss okayed it. A local tv station came and interviewed us for the evening news the second day we were running things. After that we have been making 6 cakes a day each day I am at work. We were backed up a week for...

This is intriguing. Looking forward to more info

It sounds like you are ready to do something else for the group. I think that is a good idea for them, and a better idea for you. You are supposed to have fun as the dm too. I forgot the title of this thread and got bogged down in details of your groups issues with the system and campaign. Tell...

I am familiar with wfrp and agree it is punishing. It is a major factor in why I love it. It is certainly hard to run it if you are worried about the combat. Are you worried about how members of the group will deal with said punishment? Are you concerned about how injuries may sideline the...

I dm for a group that loves the idea of investigative/mystery/sandbox games but they are really, really bad at playing them. We played Dark Heresy 2nd edition and finished an intro adventure in the course of two…years. I know now to make the investigative/mystery stuff very straightforward and a...

I had not anticipated the need or generosity. I would have been happy to turn a cake into 50 dollars of donations. I need to actually talk to my boss about doing it at the bakery. Fat Tuesday Paczki kept it too busy and today was all the stuff we put off for the paczki I do appreciate the...

Sure thing. https://www.olgainthekitchen.com/wprm_print/3758 It is not super sweet, at least for American tastes, and the amount of frosting the recipe makes is more than needed if you just pipe a bit like the recipe suggests. You could get away with halving it and still have extra.

I bake for fun, and work very part time in a neighborhood bakery. I found a recipe for a Ukrainian honey babka and did a test bake hoping to bake some at work and offer it for donations to Voices for Children. The test bake at home went well and my wife put it up on Facebook offering a piece for...

It is a great show. It sucked me into the world of Nordic TV and I can’t shake the habit.

An option to share what being a vampire in world is to run a session in a dream or vision in which he gets to be a vampire. You can let him be cool, he gets to play around with it, and you get to bring in all the negatives without him committing to it yet. My first attempt to get into role...

I would want to know why the player wants to be a vampire. To be cool? To get some benefits from it? To eat people? Why does the pc seek this? It sounds the pc has some desire, but does it understand what being a vampire entails? I would ask my player in an aside what they want from this, and...
