@V2Blast It's been a long time since I've done anything with Fate but I do kinda want to try hosting a one-shot for some Stack folks some day. Fari App looks like it might be a good platform to streamline the game; Fate online has been a little clunky in the past.
Glyptodonts. Probably some kind of reptile or fish I'd find cooler, but meh.
@BESW It's worse for halflings. When one halfling of the army clashes with the other, it turns into a bloody civil war with a break six to ten times a day.
I have a concept for a game but can't figure out the mechanics to capture it. It's a feel-good competency game about defusing lethally dangerous adventure scenarios non-violently, but I don't want to have "things become lethal" actually be a possible outcome during play.
Basically there'll be a potentially lethal threat and the scene will be resolving the question of "what do you gain or lose in the process of avoiding that threat?" rather than "do you avoid that threat?"
i typically open with the same three words that give me a fair amount of letter coverage, and then i think about which letters i want to test out for different positions
like this game, for example
i went with "GLEAN" for my fourth guess because even though i'm 95% sure that the bottom left word is GOURD at that point, i don't know if there's another word out there that i might have missed
"GLEAN" lets me test whether the first letter is G while also checking new positions for L, E, and A for the top-left word
i'll admit that DUMPY was a lucky shot in the dark, but i already had four letters and i knew that P and M weren't in the first position
