RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Shadowrun with friends.
My RPG sessions are currently in scheduling hell. 6 sessions across 3 different groups cancelled, reshuffled, and then cancelled again over the last two weeks.
Out of interest, 5e or 6e?
6e but with some modifications.
Fair enough. Had one test 6e session, my players absolutely hated it. Mainly due to the weird new edge system and the fact that combat is a lot less lethal and swingy.
Yeah we reworked the edge and armour system.
If it's not too much of a hassle, mind sharing your house rules? Might give it a go with my players to see if that fixes our issues with the system
I would have to translate them first as they are in German.
Half my main shadowrun group are Germans, I could get them to help instead
Going to my old folk's village in the north of the country for the annual summer festivities. Looking to relax, swim in rivers, in essence have a good time. I don't go out much, so I really need it...
My kid got a fishing pole from his uncle and has been absolutely dying to try it out again. Refuses to use live bait, though. Gonna see if we can get out on the river this weekend. He's only gonna be doing catch-and-release. He just really likes seeing fish up close.
......also I know nothing about fishing, so I'm gonna be researching fishing, I guess. Lol
Try some powerbait or even cheap pepperoni sticks as bait. Fish go for smell. As a side note...best fish you will ever eat is cooked on a stick over an open fire as you fish.
media marathon, going to keep watching primal s1, whic is amazing so far, i have a bunch of movies lined up, and a beach break in between when I get restless. Plus ribs and mojitos.
Be subject to the whims of my teenage kiddo! Get our nails done. Do groceries. Make fancy food for Shadow of the Demon Lord on Sunday. Play SotDL.
Finish Crysis 2 and start Crysis 3.
Extra sleep and going to be proactive this week and do some meal prep.
same thing I do every weekend. desperately try to get needed things done but at my own pace so its not quite as bad as weekday work.
Have a deadline for a university paper on Sunday. I'm planning to finish it tonight (it's 8 PM here) but not sure that's gonna fly.
Watching Premier League soccer while repairing a fiberglass hatch for my sailboat.
Party for 3 days straight (Thursday was a public holiday so I already started)

working, both days 😔
Every Saturday I've been going to my local game store and playing various card and/or board games.
A lot of the time we play Magic the Gathering. Sometimes we play Dungeons and Dragons.
But I also have a whole backpack of a bunch of other games I bring for variety sake.
Just recently I finally got my physical copy of "Fools Blade". It's a new card game where players collect sword parts and craft their own swords to go adventuring (both PvE and PvP). I'm super stoked to play it.
I'm working today, just getting some OT. Then I plan on grabbing some stuff I need for a laptop and maybe to talk to a tattoo artist about an idea I have. I'm gonna see if a friend wants to do a hike tomorrow, if not, I'm unsure what Sunday will be.
Hamburger for lunch.
Just church and work. My knee hurts so damn much I had to finally break down and wear my brace.
