@AncientSwordRage This is true. We had one game where we found a dead Space Marine. It was another ultimate Catch 22 - We have retrieved and (would have) returned a Gene Seed, but in doing so, condemned ourselves to death for having trespassed on a blacksite.

@Ben but can a geneseed turn bread a delicious golden brown?

@Adeptus that's exactly the kind of deadlift i mean

@AncientSwordRage it is so many, it took all the energy out of me

@ThomasMarkov \o/

@doppelgreener rest and recuperate and you.might be lifting more next time

i will be :D

@Adeptus Is that an advert for the Curse of Strahd campaign?

@AncientSwordRage I will be doing it tonight

@KorvinStarmast any thoughts you wanted to drop into that chat room?

@KorvinStarmast I never actually playtested :(.

@NautArch there's still time!

@linksassin I know you're sleeping, but I do agree with Thomas/Minnmass in that I think you've got an X-Y issue.

For chat discussion - Is the age-system stunt overlap with fate and it's flavours fixable? I banged on about this before, but I'm still looking for questions on how different systems handle <thing> from fate and these are getting in the way

Separately for BESW and Glazius (not gunna ping right now) but I think what I want out of my hypothetical FATE Character is covered by Atomic Robo's Mega Stunts, specifically:

> Absolute Capability. Megas can let you impose your will almost unilaterally. An opposed overcome using your prodigious strength, peerless insight, or uncanny stealth will always be treated as a normal success, unless you're up against another Absolute.

I'm envisioning a draw back where going to strong on the mega stunt puts Fin into a trance where she's vulnerable physically

What is the tag for D&D One questions?

@AmethystWizard one-dnd-playtest

@AmethystWizard No, it'll stay as the playtest tag.

Once the new system is released, whatever it's called, will get a new tag.

Ok thx

We did that for dnd-next ->5e (still some cleanup needed.)

Questions about playtest materials dont stop being about playtest materials when official materials are released.

Yep, also: update, we're at possibly 25 to sort away

The problem with the DND-next tag was, that it was almost quietly cannibalized by the new generation.

Chris Cocks (wizards ceo) was Microsoft guy during tenure of the XBOne

@Trish I will not allow that to happen.

@ThomasMarkov Me neither - preferably by making sure 5e dies... maniac laughter no, honestly, by smacking people with the rules.

Playtest material presents certain challenges that official releases do not. Even if a next-gen question concerns material unchanged from the playtest, it is not the same question as the playtest question.

Ergo, there should be no merging of questions about playtest material into the next gen tag.

Thank you for attending my TED TAG Talk

My guess is that there's gonna be few to none, but I'm not much for prewrittens anyway

IIRC there's a section in the XGtE which may be of interest (if you haven't read it already)

@Someone_Evil Specifically, Appendix A: Shared Campaigns

That'd be it

@ruedi tales from yawning portal has the doom vault (dead in that)

That could absolutely be run like that

Thanks that will help me. Looking forward to read into it. Best!

@ruedi I spent the pandemic running that adventure, ping me with any questions!

That is very nice! Thanks a lot!

@AncientSwordRage Starboard is best for that, but it is by no means not usable for things that are either liked or for folks want people to see for Reasons.

Please don't unstar things. We can un-pin things when time seems up, but I don't like the idea of unstarring things that aren't problematic.

We can absolutely prune, but we should be careful and do so when necessary if there's an issue.

@NautArch the board was filling up with stuff that didn't strictly need to be stared (didn't need to be around for long), and the star board filling up with that is something I considered a problem, but I can leave for longer next time

The stuff on the board has been there already a couple days. Some new stars isn't an issue. But thank you.

the stuff that's still on the board has been there for days, you're right. But replies to just one person don't need to be stared for very long, if at all

i have to say that I am not at all comfortable saying a star to 'one person' doesn't deserve a star. I don't think it's really necessary to go down this hole further, as I do acknowledge a need to prune when needed, but I really don't think unstarring these was something that needed to get done. Especially when they weren't problematic or creating real issues beyond just being starred.

@NautArch What we’ve seen in the past as problematic use is users having a disagreement of sorts and spectators starring the arguments they prefer.

@linksassin I’m not worried about jack of all trades at all. It’s supposed to give you half proficiency on all non selected skills, a larger skill selection doesn’t move the needle for me. It’s still bards get half for everything else.
