@Kanye-Qwest What is a dominion system, specifically? I am guessing its is a resource management type thing, but what are the features, and are any of them particularly new or handled differently?

Will the magical awakening figure into the dominion and military stuffs? How about the crime stuff? I'm thinking old school Bloodshadows, or Blades in the Dark type stuff, using small and large magics to get things done in new ways.

(Those are both RPGs with magic. Bloodshadows in sort of hard boiled neon lit detective in a very very not 1930s fantasy world, the latter is somewhat like Mistborn, but closer to D&D style magical world crime.)

Any plans to add new elements to whatever Arx has brewing?

By new I mean like if you didn't have warfare before you would now, or technology changes, or whatever.

@Sunny I need something other than an upvote reponse.

Set Luke idle 2 hours on +who.

Set Luke Dark.

Steal an idea from one of the Star Trek MU*s, and have scenes of interest with major FCs of interest be broadcast to some sort of special OOC viewing mechanism. I would say an OOC room, so if folks want to watch, they can.

That's if the PCs are doing anything interesting.

Maybe there shouldn't be any NPCs.

I'm current on all the articles telling me about disaffected in the US.

The problem is no one can save an outdated economic setup. Machinery and large corporations have already bought up everything and taken over. A family could in theory grow its own food on a farm I am sure, homesteaders do very well, but they will not retake the rural areas, nor the rural businesses, back.

I am aware that the health of my ecosystem relies in part on the health of my neighbors ecosystems.

Right now, they are actively cultivating weeds even better than I am.

I have little sympathy for the "let it all burn" vote.

I can either try to get them on my side by helping them while they resist, or help push them to political extinction.

My concern: Between 3-6 million Democrats did not vote or did not vote Democrat in 2016 when compared to 2012.

You're saying you have a bad feeling about this?

Benefit of some health plan: six free visits to a counselor (mental health, nutritionist, financial) a year, best used to shop around for someone you WORK well with.

I recommend finding an activity where your increased fitness will benefit you beyond physical health.

That could be something simple like take walks in a park or at the waters edge, or visit the zoo or whatever. Something concrete and real world.

It is the most immediately tangible reward, if you find something you actually enjoy doing. And it doesn't have to be something you didn't or couldn't do before. Just a place for you to realize you're making a difference in your life.

How credit cards work.

Now I need an adult.

Just be open to the idea that it may not be simple or obvious. Of course, it might be.

I hope you get a good sense of progress from a course you choose. Some folks take many tries to find the right solution for them.

Sometimes there is something underneath the problem you think you have.

I thought I had depression. Turns out I have anxiety which eventually gives you depression.

Anti-depression meds only worked so so, anti-anxiety meds were like night and day.

FFG Star Wars effectively has Feat Trees, and for the most part they are pretty boring.

For all of the specialness of the resolution Dice, it doesn't seem to do much that actually sends RP into Star Warsy events. Instead you get a lot of weapon jams, weapons dropped, +1 to someone else, and the favorite failure with a ton of advantage, and Success with a ton of failure.

Now I like the mixing of results, and I like the players being given a chance to suggest how things go well or poorly, but this comes out as another task to resolve every round of actions, and slows things down.

It needs serious work.

If you were playing Role Master, it would be an Adrenal Skill, and only some classes could learn more than 1 level per class level, but you'd get to roll on the cool chart for crits and damage.

They really should do a RoleMaster social combat chart.

Bring the shame.

I could see asking for a skill total as part of assigning stuff.

OR have staff have him make a Administration roll to be able to correctly choose people based on the skill totals and Feats.

Really, he should be optimized for Administration like that.

I need someone who is optimized for Administration to evaluate the Faction Head.

I was playing until they nixed Mac support.
