(ARRPG for TMNT)

4 in the morning and I can't stop coughing :(

Hot tea with lemon and honey, Vicks, breathe steam, take a hot shower and run the water on the nape of your neck...

tried some of those but no success - its a hacking dry cough that makes it feel like my chest is on fire

supposed to be running a 6 hour Deadlands session today as well

Not good.

The Minister of Chance and The Black Glove need more love!

I-I got invited to a chat?

of some kind

somehow by someone

Chat? Ha! Chats are dead, old news. I'd never be caught dead in a chat.

@lisardggY braaaainzzzz

Good morning to you all, then.

Can you really not see who invites you to chats? It was me, btw. I waited, and then my phone died

@Smurfton Pretty sure not, yeah.

If I remember correctly it tells you which chat, but not which user.

They say that sometimes, when a beta SE site is discontinued, its chat room remains active, and a ghost of unanswered questions past haunts its empty halls, pinging random people to a chat room long dead.

XD

WOOoooOOO

And it whispers quietly to itself, "lol."

(Which, as we all know, stands for "Lamentations of (the) Lost")

I'm working on some design and architecture documentation for a multi-user locking feature in our project. But every time - every single time - my fingers insist on typing "multi-user licking". In email headers, in design docs, everywhere.

lol

It's starting to get *wears sunglasses* sticky in here.

Actually using the Mythos isn't as fun as I'd thought.

This adventure is full of useless references for their own sake, and it's needlessly complex in order to accommodate bits of lore that never actually matter.

[squint] The site search seems not know the difference between "conversion" and "conversation."

@BESW Google is the only search

Site searches are at best using an actual search engine like lucine. At worst they are doing some hacked home brew crap on top of the back end database (never write your own stemmer, unless you work for a search engine company >.>)

@Tritium21 Amen to that.

[yawn] I'm going to bed, but first a linkdump of the outliners I'm gonna look into more later: Fargo, LittleOutliner, and The Outliner of Giants. If anybody has experience with them, I'd love to hear about it.

@BESW Elastic Search uses lucene (java) internally. It sucks, but its the least suck of all the sucks that can be

Serious question: Why the heck am i still awake?

@BESW Do players like recognizing the bits of lore?

I would say yes.

@lisardggY hugs incoming

@Zachiel My players like the atmosphere of Mythos play, but I probably know more about the Mythos than anyone else in the group, and that's mostly "I've read the Call of Cthulhu summaries and TV Tropes."

@Bankuei Your answer currently breaks down into: (a) Talk to them, (b) D&D isn't a good fit for focusing on narrative, and (c) find different players. The (c) part is discouraged by the answerer. However (a) and (b) are worth going into more depth on.

Primarily (b) in fact! After all, pointing out D&D doesn't encourage narrative-focused play (and in fact strongly encourages optimisation) is a very valid point to make, so suggesting alternate systems is a strong way to respond that's entirely within the asker's scope.

(for others' context: that was regarding this answer, 10k link, and I've poked Bankuei with a permalink to that message in another comment)
