As I see it cross-post away and with glee. I just wish there was some way to follow a cross-post to the original post or the cross posts directing you to that. Because with plenty of cross-posts the comments are being sooooo split. So it is a balance act - ten posts with one comment each or one post with eight?

(numbers taken out of arse)

I use an Endeavour OS. So technically...

I use Arch BTW

Asmodeus is a master schemer, his (its?) most cunning plans span centuries. I would play into this and realize that my puny human intellect couldn't fathom his brilliance. Let him be this haughty, but always hinting of greater insight into his devices. When his minions are encountered they seldom know the same thing, and often contradictory things. Again, his plans are intricate, elaborate and for him only.

If you want to hand out tasks let them be for no specific reason and for various agents of Asmodeus. Menial tasks for a fresh acolyte. Or perhaps hold off on tasks, "soon" agents will say Soon dedication will be proven. This is just Asmodeus letting the character think the devil is on them, to let them stew in their own fear.

Perhaps Asmodeus even want the character to break his vow and thus forfeit his soul. Another soul to power the infernal machines of war.

Or perhaps Asmodeus doesn't even care? The character is handed off to a local agent as a reward for the agent having accomplished something. Now we get into politics and very understandable motives. Here I would pick something not really opposed to the party at large, nothing really distasteful. But the agent stand to gain more than what is apparent.

More specific than that you may have to look at the party itself and what their drives are. And the local setting.

For everyday user (browser, light office, photo management, tv/movie streaming) it is already as viable as windows as a daily driver.

Once it is installed and up and running. But then most windows users haven't installed windows themselves so that is almost a moot point. It is first when you get into "specialty" software linux viability drops.

Do you by ransom you mean restrict our civil liberties and bow to tyranny? Because that is part of it.

Dragon Master's Guide?

I should play BG3 and get out of Act1. Buuut it's starting to be so long since I last played it that I am lost in where I was and were doing. And I honestly don't like the zone designs with all their open emptyness while at the same time being soooo cramped. What does it take to walk from the druid's encampment to the goblin temple? Two minutes? Three? Cooooome on. Would have preferred the druid's having one map, then world map travel to goblin's and then zoom in on their lair. Condense the adventure while keeping distances plausible. So I'll keep on looking at my small settlers as I keep building their settlement in Farthest Frontier.

I would probably react as Konsi if someone came onto me like that. Skepticism. Lots of it.

Because edition system wars are fun?

Me and OSR are a complete mismatch in execution. But we work in theory and design. Where we clash is where the meme is. Simple basic rules that are to be used in pretty much every situation. Where the GM is empowered to make those rulings. Where the GM is King.

I have tried running them and constantly kept asking myself "according to the rules what am I supposed to do?" as I want to run systems as they want to be ran. What is a failure? How does the outcome space look like? And when I get to play I feel I get to relinquish so much control to the GM that I feel almost powerless. The GMs rulings and fiat rules. Sure these are my experiences and I can love OSRs and their designs while not wanting to acctually play them.

Doesn't everyone, including the "side" one agrees with, have multi layered propaganda efforts? From state broadcasters to paid "grassroots" shills. Best to assume everyone is trying to sell you their story and critically evaluate everything you are being fed.

Or just go wave your side's flag and drink the coolaide. It is what the powers that are want you to do.

Waiting on the bus.

It's the internet. I assume everyone, until it being proven otherwise, is either a sentient amorphous blob or a bot.

Few top of my head

• Poison Ivy (DC Comics)
• The Dathomir witches, especially the Nightsister clan (Star Wars)
• Number Six (Battlestar Galactica)
• Hela (Marvel)
• Cersei Lannister (ASOIAF)

But that said often you can just take a male villain and change them to a woman. Or non-binary. Would it be anything diffrent if it was EMPRESS Palpatine? LADY Vader would change a few things, but imagine on Mustafar Anakine being late in pregnacy. Duel with Kenobi plays out and she is left legless. Then waking up and being told "in your anger you killed them". Oh the self-loathing and hatred towards kenobi. Dammit I need dark-as-frakk Lady Vader fanfic now.

But it will run quiter. And I can attack KOMs harder. Et cetera.

But yes for working out a watt is a watt is a watt

2k give or take. Going to exchange most of it into gems.

Edit: Gems - the paper money of fantasy age

Side game. Got paid and a new job to bust a smuggling ring. Bought some scrolls of AoE spells to B.L.A.S.T. Artived at smugglers, botched assassination of sentry so had to go in guns (spells) blazing. Used one scroll then remembered I have a indestructible horn of blasting. 120g wasted. But then we are so rich my Bard cannot carry her 40lbs of gold...

wealthy gentleman thief (secretly a thief)

Are you sure that is so secret, being wealthy and all

Marginal gains. Expensive marginal gains. I'm glad I'm not into that. When it comes to saving weight it is far better for me to shave it of me rather than the bike. And cheaper too!
