  1. That actually reminds me about a thought I had. What ARE DemiGods? Are they bound by the Compromise?
  2. Fuck yes! I will die on the hill that such a hack is possible.
  3. Well, all I can tell is that I am going to need more diagrams for the rest of glorantha. Rad stuff, thank you for doing it!
  4. Is there somewhere this is written down?
  5. Supercool! Are you running the expanded version of SSiS? Like, more than six Seasons? I just got my own version going and have sent them through the different Adulthood Initiations. Biggest hurdle is actually the would-be shaman in the group when it comes to actual initiation.
  6. Does the report say anything about the content of the Mythology book?
  7. As far as I gathered from my readings of the texts: Isn't the primary problem with extramaritial sex not dishonesty? Like, this is a matter of honor. If everyone agree on a Open Relationship, that is not a problem, but non-consensual nonmonogamy is the dealbreaker?
  8. I have this strange sensation that either the White Bull Team didn't want to be gaming public, or Jeff began running into the fact that his game is filled with rules that are not out yet <_<
  9. Well. I guess that's as close as I am going to get to a actual answer to that. Alrighty. Biz as usual. Just needed to be a bit more inquisitive.
  10. Alrighty. So, that's good. But, honestly. Is that a *never/won't*? Because it's not all that clear whether or not y'all are still under a contract.
  11. So. Now we're in the weeds. This is a TimeStamped to VeVe's AMA where the question was asked. "Helping with educating"? I am not sure if they've been listening to the feedback so far, but I think the reason why people are not eager with getting Chaosium involved in this is *exactly* because they're educated on these topics. Planned drops in Q2. Huh. So. Are we gonna have to have this dance in two months again?
  12. Okay. We see examples of people getting their digital art stolen and minted as NFT's without their consent. A lot of people who complain about it are being met with "you should have minted it yourself - otherwise it's basically free real-estate" - there's a big community of people who have decided copyright laws doesn't apply *unless* it is connceted to crypto. The entire idea about an NFT is that the code on the blockchain does not actually have the picture, but only a link to a server where a picture is laying (rending all claims of a "decentralized network" moot - because the image in question is still only on one server) (I think this was already answered Upthread) Then, we get into the idea that owning a picture without a contract is not even legal! Your NFTs are not protected by any sort of DRM, because it is STILL just a single Image on a random server somewhere. Which is one of the problems NFT developers have tried to sue people over. Thing is, the reason why there's a lot of evangelizing on the virtues of both cryptocurrency and NFT's is that unless they keep adding people to the interest pool and having them pay either as much as you did for your Crypto, or more if you don't want to break even, there's not much else you can *do* with Crypto. What was tried here was to add some value with NFT's being a "thing to buy" for your crypto; but the technology around NFTs are not anywhere near what is claimed to be. In Chaosium's case, it was AR Images, which in and off itself is nice, but having artificial scarcity in a hobby that is already built around imagination being limitless, the use for AR Tokens with Unique Numbers is pretty low. ---------- And now we get to the big issue. The reason why prices do not go down as there's more an more crypto mined? The costs are rising exponentially alongside the estimated value. It's a volatile speculatory market, that I am not even halfway to understanding why it works like it works. I think NFTs were an attempt to have a solution where you could spend your crypto, but it just reinforced a lot of the problems with it.
  13. I'm pretty sure you couldn't split the NFT, yeah. Depends on VeVe's solution though.
  14. The big ass difference is that A) XML does not need you to have people be suckered into a small ponzi scheme to be useable. B) XML actually has a use besides being tokens with a proprietary link to a image; where you don't even own the image. C) Only uses a fraction of the processing power needed to sustain the ecosystem that NFT and Crypto needs to have. Why does a Roleplaying Game company need to go into a Casino business? Especially one that seems *this* shady? Do what you want, but until there's a at least some sort of address whether or not this company is going to continue invest in questionable businesses, i really have to keep banging this drum, even if i LIKE most of the staff here, and i really don't attribute malice to anyone here.
  15. This has the be the biggest truth in this matter.
  16. My game ended up marrying her off to Alain, *and* hid Robert alongside her in Carlion. It was a wise move on the PK's behalf, especially as the years that followed had two invasions and one straight up betrayal in Salisbury against the Widow Countess
  17. As far as I know, there's plans for VTT support, something that Chaosium seems to have been embracing more and more.
  18. Well, I'm going to be looking up the finest RPGs with trading rules at a point. And, from Impromptu Con I learned that they're doing a Sartar Clan Management system in the Sartar Book, focused on Generation of Adventure.
  19. Erh. I am not so sure about that. To quote him from the Corrections thread. I have no idea what that means, other than we might have to make shit up. Which is fine, but then I rather have spent those pages on something that was actually coherent.
  20. That is an excellent solution, I'm just still a bit baffled that this basically says: "This is what it would cost - everything else is up to you" If the listed price of being 10% of the Table price is correct, then I'm getting what's going on
  21. So. Have anyone compared the listed price with the table price? Because, if a Quarry is only 50L and not 500L, it kinda starts to make sense to build them.
