It’s a good homebrew, would try it out/5, but I have one question: why Sleight of hand? Useful as it might be, it feels a bit out of place.
Yet your argument still ignores all nuance. (…)
There are no nuances needed to be acknowledged in this specific distinction. People playing in good faith, WILL try to overcome any obstacles according to their experience, skills and maturity. People who don’t, will invent problems and actively search for them rather than focus on solutions. Neither needs Session #0.
good group doesn’t need session zero and bad group isn’t helped by it
It’s absolutely wrong take on the dillema. GOOD group doesn’t have to play in good faith - they are good players, experienced veterans, that know the art of role playing well. But they don’t have to put all their skills into good outcome. They may, for many reasons try to undermine the experience, break the game, test the ruleset for weaknesses, focus on one singe aspect of the game (for example, on combat) rather than on the whole adventure. And the other way around - bad gamers, clueless and inexperienced might still try to save their game, make the best of it.
As you can see, what you’re discussing is wildly different to what I’ve been talking about.
Now you’re just doing some pedantic backpedaling, as though it changes the fact that your argument hinges on a false binary.
From where I sit - it’s you who didn’t think through your position and when asked about details became passively-aggressive. Usually a strong hint that you feel you’re/were wrong.
And it’s ironic that you simultaneously accuse me of lacking nuances and simultaneously of being “too nuanced”. 😬
I never said that individuals are “good/bad”. I said they approach the game with either good faith or bad faith, which is radically different to what you’re talking about.
If the group consists of people who come there in good faith and are determined to have fun, no Session 0 is needed. Whatever problems will arise on the way, are going to be dealt with in mature way.
And if the group features bad faith actors, then no amount of discussion prior to the game will prevent a disaster from happening.
Try these tricks (providing they are applicable!):
These things should be part of in-game experience.
Sitting there and discussing stuff rather than doing it, is a waste of time.
I disagree with some of tips given in this article (for example, Session 0 is a waste of time), but in general it provides good information and useful links.
Beautiful.
Reminds me of old SF movies.
Buy yourself a cookie!
I agree, but the question wasn’t about the percentage of cases, but about the possible reason to choice Ubuntu over Debian…
Yeah.
Those people seem to migrate from Reddit, but still carry it in their hearts and minds. 😑
No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.
Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.
Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.
Ubuntu is what grew out of Debian.
But it’s radically different ENVIRONMENT these days.
Hard to tell.
Whole Linux movement has plenty of classes to take, if it wants to become more relevant. And social skills is one of the most important among these…
Support & community come to mind.
To a typical user/newcomer to servers it’s easier to find some solution for Ubuntu, than for Debian. And boy, can Debian users be full of themselves… 😑

Yeah. It’s good that there are users who actually take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers merely because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.
Or, provide an explanation to keep the skills you selected. There’s always a place for Psionic Thief. 😉
