  • I’m playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can’t ignore the current dissonance.

    I’m playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

    I’ve ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

    But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I’m not sure where I want to take this thing.

    Fuck, I love this game.





  • Is there another sub for non-meme ttrpg discussion?

    I’ll say it here regardless - Feng Shui is my favourite system that’s not Blades or DnD or derivates.

    The whole premise is based around Hong Kong style action flicks. Most enemies have one hit point. If you hit, they go down. If you describe your action well, you get a bonus- instead of saying “I kick the guy”, players are encouraged to say “I leap from the balcony, swing from the tapestry, and fly-kick the guy in the head”. The setting includes four distinct time periods, so you can travel from a cyberpunk future to a colonial history between sessions. It’s fast, it lends itself to simple plots, and it’s fun to be awesome.





  • Generally these days the run from stage to mixing desk is digital.

    What you want to avoid is too many conversions. At some point the signal is analog, like strings or vocal cords vibrating. Ideally you’ll only have one conversion to digital- say, the stage box you plug the mic into. From there it’s digital through foldback desk, front of house mixing desk, effects, recording, etc all the way up to and including amplifiers, which will convert back to high power analog to drive the speakers.

    Having a bunch of other conversions in there - eg guitar pickup to digital, back to analog for the amplifier stage, digital to the desk, analog out to digital amps, all introduce latency and quality degradation.
