I played in one campaign where I had to track arrows. It was a homebrewed world where anything outside of cities was extremely dangerous. We found eventually that the reason why was all the good gods had died, as this devouring entity had started eating them and then had gotten trapped, which let evil go unchecked.

It was a lot of fun, my character would have to go out and sneak around to find good wood for arrows and he spent his time during watches crafting more arrows.

Yeah, that's why I've started liking the idea of long rests are a week of rest, with short rests being a single night.

Really makes the resources a lot more precious if you're not getting them back during the same session. So many times of players being like, "whelp, I just burnt five spells, let's long rest"

What I should be doing is if you're long resting in the dungeon is having monsters show up, but I can literally see my players eyes glaze over when it's a random encounter like that.

Probably should. I feel like they have a lot of good abilities so giving them a weakness would make me less concerned about letting a player use this in game.

That being said, if I let a player use this in game the tone of the game is immediately different and I prob don't care about balance anymore. Just what's funny.

My group is very much tied to d&d. I've got like a dozen of systems that I want to try out cause they look interesting (Cthulhu Tech being one I've always wanted to try, but I just found a game called Shield Maidens)

Haven't heard of this system and my players wouldn't like it that much I suspect... But I know someone who'd love it.

Digimon and Crusader Kingss III...

This either the worst show in the world, or the best...

Also a lot of baby digimon get killed... Like... A worrying amount.

Yeah, wait for the at home release before you do that. Snacks will be a lot cheaper too.

I've been at two start ups and they had me interview people. Honestly this is what I looked for. I'd ask basic questions to prove you had an idea about coding, but I can teach someone to code, I can't teach someone to be someone I like working with.

Wouldn't surprise me, I feel like whenever I see one person bring something up, everyone else in that same space starts talking about it too.

I much prefer a written version though. When I'm listening to people talk it's in one ear and out the other.

Okay. That's a good point. I thought this was a pretty cool idea. (I'm basically just getting into Lemmy myself here) but yeah, there's room for some bad actors there lol.

I guess the real solution is like you said, let communities say, "hey, we think they're cool and want to share content with them"

I recently heard a similar thing, I follow a channel on YouTube Overly Sarcastic Productions and they did a video on this as well! Super interesting.

[–] Hazama 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting but very good points. I was talking to someone else recently about mythology and how modern ideas influence how we see mythology. I was referring more to other things, but the idea of multiple universes could be pretty modern all things considered.

I think I remember reading that Jewish tradition for a while put Sheol as a realm under the earth, and not like a separate dimension like how we often picture the nine realms. With that in mind, it does make sense they'd believe the various realms are physically under the same sky, just so far away as to be completely inaccessible.
