    I used to stick with Discord for most of my group gaming until they changed a bunch of policies and the overall vibe shifted. Now, I’m mostly on Matrix for chat and dice bots and sometimes set up Jitsi if we need voice. The flexibility is nice and feels less corporate, like you said. IRC is solid if you don’t mind something simple, and I’ve even tried hosting with Galene, which isn’t too tough once you get the basics down.

    I expect this is going to be rather a short run instead of some long plotbook. So you probably could just take the story and wing the stats. I also don’t play OG Shadowrun

    I should mention, too, that Bob was an early playtester, so he also has “chosen fan” energy around this. It’s surprisingly how often people are not aware of how their feelings are easily manipulated by being “seen” by “important people”. Influencers are amazingly easily and cheaply bought. And I don’t mean this as a slight to Bob. This is normal and natural human behaviour. He likes the game, and that’s legit. But people don’t go to war over things they like. They go to war over how others make them feel valuable.

    I’ve moved away from the kind of game that has a planned plot and requires players to know a lot of rules. Many players put in as little effort as possible, to the point of not reading rules and not giving notice of a failure to show. If you feel you need to invest in characters I’d advise only doing it for players who consistently show up.

    @recursive_recursion@piefed.ca said in Roll for combat's (and others) distributor has gone bankrupt, and is liquidating their stock and keeping the money: How is this possible??? Because despite the fact that they were operating as if they were selling the books on consignment, they were apparently doing business on credit on paper. It’s dirty dealing. Which I’m sure didn’t stop them from sending unsold books back to the publisher any time it was convenient for them, or failing to pay them in a manner that reflects credit-based purchases. They set up a system where it was heads they win, tails you lose.

    The problem is more than just OSR, for some reason there is an expectation that NPC do not cure about living, and would fight no matter what. Fleeing, surrendering, is what would happen if you want realistic fights. In most games I play (but no OSR) I ask for an endurance (whatever how it’s called) roll when PC or NPC took enough injuries to be in the malus, it makes sense to fall unconscious at a point, let the PC take prisoner, and act as a safety breaker to not kill a PC stupidly as they’re unconscious long before dying
