No ai at all. This doesn't bode well. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Younger daughter has to fill a jar with a collage about herself for her new school (for Art) My saying "you are all the people you've ever been" did not go well this morning, as apparently she wanted a vector picture of a jar of nutella. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock "fill a tote bag with books for £6 in our historical book clearance section" *twitch* *twitch* npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n Probably *exactly* the same time I did.

I have a sword-umbrella and actually the ball-haft of it is probably better as a weapon than the "ahah" reveal stabby part. I've never seen sword cane or an umbrella cane, even vintage ones with a decent tang. They really are one use weapons.

Don't forget the full title, npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock For many of us who started gaming in the tail end of the 1970s, The Handbook for Space Pioneers: Exoplanet Colonies (1978) by Wolfe and Wysack was basically the first space game supplement that wasn't intended for RPGs at all... and yet... It provided fully realised worlds, maps, races, threats, economies, deckplans, personality tests, and recruitment ideas for characters.. er.. cough the readers. Perfect for traveller or Star Trek and packed with colonial issues too. #ttrpg https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/102/122/784/381/556/original/24b858a112c626e8.png https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/102/131/618/340/657/original/415283da21df432c.png https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/102/137/431/250/714/original/0d18543e94931750.png https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/102/139/773/566/707/original/c2043ee945dfcff9.png npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 How's that Pre-Labour law Victorian cosplay working out for you? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 I object to this being news.

What about a rook/bishop move where the monsters can't see or react to you if you move at them diagonally or in some kind of straight line at then. but if you move off it they get to see you again. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…5y0h Stealth mechanic for the players or the encounters? npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n What was so odd about that book, and I have it to hand, was just how well the narrative held together. You could have just run Ravenloft or something with it. The art was mostly (all?) book covers but they really put the work in with the scaffolding to make it it all seem connected. I think I used most of that book for gaming in the 80s, before any of the "proper horror" games manifested. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…5y0h https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/011/813/834/946/064/original/5c9ceb10e5470e80.png npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Yay. #bokpropaganda https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/011/751/211/462/249/original/671eab4bf538cb1c.png npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Well now I want to be able to dance the Bokolati Which sounds vaguely like it might be a gargoyle inclined Tarantella, with a hint of the 1518 Strasbourg dancing plague. @nprofile…q5yn @nprofile…5y0h npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock A Bokowaty sounds like a jaunty little folk dance step. @nprofile…q5yn @nprofile…5y0h npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Is the adjective from Handsome Gargoyle "Bokkish" or "Bokesque" npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock Actually the Cybermen really really wanted a Time Machine @nprofile…q5yn @nprofile…8p63 npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…8p63 It does look right on a cover https://cdn.masto.host/dicecamp/media_attachments/files/116/001/444/889/151/950/original/910bead94a5317ba.png npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…zqv6 That's Cyclops's visor from his Liberace phase during the Claremont run. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n Terrible monster, utterly awful (particularly the fall from tree moment) but a great movie.

I was surrounded in 98/99 by people trying to make "millennium" stuff and that probably tilted the zeitgeist of those two years a lot. @nprofile…5y0h npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…3t8n Those were really really fiddly though.

The feeling that they are in love with a remnant of what they remember npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock I think there is a definite structural issue with "RPG on screen" and always has been. If you go towards my style, you're going to get a radio play, with a seriously atonal mix of bad and good actors and fairly terrible voices (and possibly a contract with Big Finish) it would be nigh on impossible to get to work for other people to enjoy. And how do you show and tell all the table litter without a press kit. Youtube has created a style of gaming which shouldn't exist. @nprofile…msez @nprofile…a600 npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock High Trust you say... I think gaming is mean to be a melange of things, taking anything too far in one direction just makes the tent collapse. I'm very improv and theatrical, but I still use dicing for the chaos and keeping things slightly out of my control. I like scaffolding to keep a structure. I'd use figures but only in a CSI reconstruction. It just seems odd to be so famous (in our teacup) and so woolly. @nprofile…msez @nprofile…a600 npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…msez That rabbit hole is why I never get anything gaming wise done, because I'm a research addict. That's one of the reasons I like having a co-writer to turn around and give me a withering stare when I start going "We could do a POSTER SIZE map of the dog's brain" or something equally research-florid. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 I assume you and I have what would be regarded as a library now. npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 I only ever saw them second hand, Supernatural Sleuths is one of my favourite ever collections npub1hmn3sfuq38de0kt2qynujm3htast02d90uqlnwr9kpfm46dk0aesxswyyr Charnock @nprofile…x5s0 How many were in that style/set?

It was probably something I was doing wrong but there was always insane amounts of flash, like the molding was a bit leaky. By the time I got rid of it the detailing wasn't great.

What's your favourite or rather most efficient way of turning an existing map (usually too complicated for game use - or cluttered) into a neat condensed vector (or anything I suppose) map for a game? I have lots of 1880s-1920s maps I want to simplify for use, and cant decide if should try to vectorise them in Illustrator then tidy up, or scan them and trace over them by hand.. or what.
