  • If I want to run a solo DnD game, is chatGPT fine for that?

  • Have you tried a GM Emulator Oracle? Something like: https://www.wordmillgames.com/page/mythic-gme.html

    You could always try to set up a group here, I actually put together a shadowrun group from hexbear users and had a successful 1 year campaign that went through many of the 1e-2e adventure modules

  • If you are able to make a small hedge between the deer's entry point and the fruit trees and put some fast-growing berry forming shrubs that deer can eat as a bait plant that is easier for them to access it might help, I'm looking to put in some cherry trees soon but due to space may try to get a single one that can self-pollinate

  • Hey thanks for making the post.

    I think I'm 10a in USDA, I had a pretty good spring from the Broccoli, Garlic, Spinach, Celery, and Potatoes I put in through the winter. I did miss the harvest on my last few Celery due to a rapid entry of summer. I did get about 5 packets of seed from them though and it made the garden smell delightful.

    I replanted the smaller potatoes and have gotten blooms on all of them so I'm going to try and get some seeds from the potato berries, I'm expecting the actual tubers to be small though.

    I have been trying to do a staggered plant of bush green beans and its been pretty successful so far, the cilantro though I've messed up the timing and will likely have a couple weeks without it.

    My biggest learning lesson was Tomatoes, I sprouted way too many seeds from the ones I saved last season and ended up with over 100 plants. I planted them way too dense and sadly all the larger tomatoes have gotteen bloom rot from what I suspect to be root damage. The cherry and grape tomatoes are doing great!

    The pepper plants I overwintered in large containers are producing already while the ones I sprouted from last year's seeds will be producing in a couple weeks, I collected all the seeds in a "spicy pepper" sachel so I have no idea what ones have sprouted, this year I will label each pepper so I don't end up with 20 ghost peppers.

    I tried to do some arugula which did not sprout but when i realized it wasn't going i put some radish and carrot in the space which is doing well. In another area I have placed some pumpkin which is starting to grow but won't produce until autumn.

    I have some fruit and nut trees but they were very unhealthy when i started so i have been trying to get them back to health which i think will get results next year.

    LANCER - Trans Megathread for July 7th through July 13th, 2025

    Jump

  • wow what a great topic!

    I've been running a Lancer campaign for some hexbear folks for a few months now. Has been a lot of fun. I've never been a mech person, but I've read a lot of sci-fi and the suppliments for lancer are amazing. We finished Operation Solstice Rain and are on the last half of Operation Winter Scar, highly recommend.

    Up with mechanized chassis!

  • Its kinda cringe but maybe the early anarchist movements/communes in the u.s pulled from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_the_United_States

    Historian Wendy McElroy reports that American individualist anarchism received an important influence of three European thinkers.

    William Godwin's anarchism which "exerted an ideological influence on some of this, but more so the socialism of Robert Owen and Charles Fourier.

    After success of his British venture, Owen himself established a cooperative community within the United States at New Harmony, Indiana during 1825. One member of this commune was Josiah Warren, considered to be the first individualist anarchist.

    The Peaceful Revolutionist, the four-page weekly paper Warren edited during 1833, was the first anarchist periodical published, an enterprise for which he built his own printing press, cast his own type and made his own printing plates.

    After New Harmony failed, Warren shifted his ideological loyalties from socialism to anarchism which anarchist Peter Sabatini described as "no great leap, given that Owen's socialism had been predicated on Godwin's anarchism".

    The emergence and growth of anarchism in the United States in the 1820s and 1830s has a close parallel in the simultaneous emergence and growth of abolitionism as no one needed anarchy more than a slave

    Josiah Warren put his theories to the test by establishing an experimental "labor for labor store" called the Cincinnati Time Store, where trade was facilitated by notes backed by a promise to perform labor. The store proved successful and operated for three years after which it was closed so that Warren could pursue establishing colonies based on mutualism. These included Utopia and Modern Times.

    Henry David Thoreau was an important early influence in individualist anarchist thought in the United States and Europe. Thoreau was an American author, poet, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher and leading transcendentalist. Civil Disobedience is an essay by Thoreau that was first published in 1849.

  • for what it's worth i have seen some online groups get organized on

    in spanish, french, italian, portuguese but I love playing tabletop rpgs

    the opportunity to tell a story together with a group of friends or have satisfying tactical choices depending on what type of game you choose to play. for this we have had some truly creepy investigations and even a decent jump scare! so its like getting to experience a movie/t.v show from the perspective of one of the characters

  • Thanks! I've really been enjoying handling it and between this campaign and the one-shots I did last year I'm close to either playing or handling all the modules. Haven't done God's Teeth or Iconoclasts but the campaign is a heavily modified Impossible Landscapes run through

  • What do you use as map-making software?

    Jump

  • Combination of Inkarnate or GIMP depending on what I need

  • Your most used RPG books and accessories?

    Jump

  • Kind of neat to see you on lemmy. I've purchased Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master and have watched some of your youtube videos, the 1 year of shadowdark was informative as I just started a Shadowdark version of Keep on the Borderlands.

    I have done online only since the pandemic so GIMP, Inkarnate, Roll20, and ZIM Desktop Wiki are pretty essential for organizing as well as digital table-top for play.

    I own and frequently use the (Stars/Worlds/Cities) without numbers books often depending on the genre for procedural world-building but I was recently gifted Microscope and im sorry did you say street magic so I'm looking forward to making the shift towards collaborative world building with the players.

    Also from the SWN book are the faction rules which are broadly applicable.

    Finally I usually reread the Mothership Wardens Operations Manual before I do my October horror one-shots

    While I haven't yet purchased Justin Alexander's So you want to be a game master, I have extensively read his blog, and often reread it when creating for a new campaign.

  • Very cool Lemmy.blahaj.zone, transphobia is fine when we're doing it to the commies
