Me too, just got the lego kit and thinking about adding LEDs and…oh wait. RDR2, not R2D2.

Because you always get attacked by cultists or assassins in the middle of the night if you stay at an inn.

Or maybe that’s just a Warhammer FRPG thing?

Prodigy is excellent.

Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.

I’ll add ViolentMonkey (run arbitrary custom script on a site), and Stylus (add custom CSS to a site). These are great for adding extra features/utilities to a site you use a lot, adding dark mode to a website that doesn’t support it, etc.

Toss up between Warhammer Fantasy RP and Pendragon. WFRP has a reputation for grimdarkness and brutality (fair). Pendragon has a lovely system that plays fast and really encourages actual roleplaying in Arthurian Britain.

And the most brutal thing I’ve ever seen happen in a RPG was in Pendragon. The standard start includes some training exercises with your squire characters, including a joust with practice lances (break easily, no points or metal heads). You get to this within 10 minutes of starting, after 30-60 minutes of character creation.

One of the players suffered a critical hit to the face with a “safety lance” and was killed instantly. Had to roll up a new character, but was laughing the entire time.

True, but you can take that line of thought to some frightening extremes. How far do we go to protect people from themselves and their own ignorance? I tend to be a bit libertarian on this…as long as you’re not harming someone else, do what you want. For that to have any chance to work, people have to be informed, which would require orgs/companies to publish and label with much more information than they do now, and certainly more than they want to do.

Anyway, it all gets complicated pretty fast, which is why I list it as a “wish” instead of a concrete proposal.

I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from “limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people” up to “lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe”. Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.

Whew, switched to Linux just in the nick of time!

I haven’t been, but am looking at it after your post.

I made the switch in January, and it’s been great. The only game I’ve had trouble with is a fully-kitted Skyrim with a bajillion external apps/runtimes, but I’ve managed to get even that working fine. Every other game is just Install/Play from Steam with no tweaks.
