Sounds good, it has enough without being too restrictive Seems like it will give you some good angles for character development and choices, I say go for it!

I like to use this to strip out unnecessary layers and optimise: https://svgomg.net/

I replaced Sync which is what I used for Reddit, for Summit. No issues at all and actively developed, unlike Sync. It’s clearly taken a lot of inspiration from Sync’s feature set and I am very happy with it.

Some great suggestions in this thread (dune and VtM were the two that immediately sprang to mind for me).

Another one you could look at is Pendragon. The social standing and celebrity status of each of the PCs is a big part of this. If you like the setting it could be a good one.

Eh. Feels a bit of statistics ping pong. Reduce car use isn’t a very precise term, and they even quote them in the article as meaning a reduction IN THE AREA where the LTN is.

I love the ones near me as a cyclist and pedestrian. If you want fewer cars you have to make driving more annoying (I.e. less convenient) and more expensive, end of story.

Hardcore car commuters, the kind of people who vandalise LTNs, and vote only about more cars/roads in London are kind of addicts, I feel like.

Took me a little bit to understand it but in summary the mechanic is that failing rolls reduces your points eventually forcing you to need to feed.

I don’t really get the point of euphoria vs thirst though. Say I begin on 5 which seems to be the best starting option, I’ve got a 2:1 chance of failing my roll so very likely I will drop to 4. Now I have a 1:1 chance of failure so I might stay at the 4 or 3 level for longer. As soon as I’m down to 2 the odds of failure increase again, so I would need to feed.

Your rules don’t specify how to calculate the points to recover when feeding, I would definitely add that.

I’d also consider changing the dice mechanic to a linear progression, potentially - unless there’s some additional mechanic to it that I’ve missed.

The way they do it in Cosmic Dark feels like it would fit well here. They roll a d6 to get a result, but in times of stress or if they feel it’s appropriate they can roll a “change” die. That starts on 1 and if you roll higher it goes up by one. So it gets progressively less likely to hit, but you’re out of the game when you reach 6.

Seems pretty normal. If you were talking about RFK? Then yes I just found about the sound recently and it’s… Crazy?

Wonton is an extremely precious case that must be protected at all costs.

Fair enough!

Assume you know about owlbear.rodeo ?

Again, it’s not what you WANT but at least everyone can see what’s going on on their phone

The German song was the best one last year by far though. A banger

Stopped using it years ago when they redesigned it completely. I remember people HATED it, but they really did make it worse.

I use Podcast Addict instead which isn’t perfect but looks like it has more features that I use than Antenna Pod

In the sense that blowing 20k is not the domain of someone you would describe as “not rich”? Yes 100%

I had the same reaction with some Brits dropping the same amount of cash for the 2024 Euro … Must be nice!

I highly recommend watching or listening to the glass cannon network play through of this (unless you don’t want to spoil the plot for yourself). It’s across roughly 50 episodes and it’s one of the best things they’ve ever done. All the characters are interesting and their descent into madness is performed exceptionally well.

It’s referred to as Get In The Trunk seasons 4-6 but you don’t really need to have heard the first 3 (although they are good).

I really enjoyed this, very chill game

What’s your plan for the two visually distinctive ones you mention? Or is that what you’re asking for advice with?

Some more context detail might help, here

For some reason their links to drive thru never work for me. Here is the Cosmic Horror 25% stuff
