@JoshuaACNewman Yup!

Between the rules, the group, and the way I'm running it, this is much more on the "improv theater" end than the "tactical wargame" end compared to my last D&D campaign.

@peterdrake This seems like a ton of fun.

Are you using ideas from the Fate Space Toolkit?

I just helped a teenage student learn modular synthesis for the afternoon, so, yes, my job is the best one.

[My resulting income is…not commensurate.]

Session 4 of my #FateCore space campaign.

Exhausted but hopped up on caffeine pills, our heroes continue in the Dembar ice rally. The child bartender begins to be affected by alcohol, which for their species means they will soon take on a gender; they instantly become a sullen teenager. The boys have become Patriarchy cadets, hoping to be posted to the flagship of Edgelord Grimdark. The Charybdis crime family tasks the party with stealing a mysterious file from a Patriarchy facility. This is accomplished via a tour de force of bullshit by the space accountant, impersonating an Intergalactic Revenue Service agent. She pushes too far trying to get information from the crime lord; she is thrown out of his car and takes a metal suitcase full of cash to the head. Partially decrypting their own copy of the file, the party discovers that it is the location of an uncharted whipline. After a brief struggle with a Charybdis enforcer, our heroes win the rally, giving them enough money to buy the capybara a deluxe hot tub (with a few gold bars hidden below the water).

Lines:

"You look like a goth muppet!"

"You're drunk and going through puberty. I'm concussed. We should probably sit this one out."

"I hope eyeliner is, like, mandatory."

"Please, let's go to the volcano ren faire planet!"

Is there no way to search even the local timeline?

I saw a toot a couple of days ago and can't figure out how to find it again.

Are there any professional #tabletop game reviewers around here?

Best graph this year. Great for finding underused combinations. From https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/vmw0eu/oc_frequency_of_compound_insults_eg_poophead/

The Midsummer Lands Combined

It is done (for now) – all six of the Midsummer Lands hexmaps are done and released, and now combined!

It started out buying test prints of merch so I could be sure it was up to spec... then you start decorating with your own merch...

My life is getting more and more "pale brown with chance of dungeons".

Session 3 of my #FateCore space campaign.

Our heroes fought off a tentacled abomination from the deep and rescued a neurally-enslaved platoon of battlesuited mermaids. Back on the surface of the ice planet, the mermechs attempted to hide by burrowing angel-style into the snow, but they were spotted by the rescue helicopter. This footage fell into the hands of a powerful member of the Charybdis crime family, who sounds exactly like Werner Herzog and made our disgraced scientist an offer he couldn't refuse. After a long night of adventuring, the party has five minutes to get to the starting line for the next leg of the rally race.

Some lines:

"Did the octopus just ingest a whole shipping container of xanax?"

"We could always bankrob at the end of the race."

"Killing people is just, like, rescheduling their deaths."

These are a random assortment of the kids I could find pics of on my phone. The first one, though, is the one who’s gonna be coming to work with me for the summer whether you fund me or not. But if you fund me, that’s a way to reduce the punishment our society inflicts on teachers.

Help me run a tiny summer camp!

I teach at an alt school in a 2/3 minority, very poor community. Well-heeled families also send use their kids because we’re an amazing school.

Every June, a couple parents approach me to do summer things with their kids. They’re always great kids, but they’re also the families who can afford to pay a teacher out of pocket.

This year, I’m taking one kid under my wing paid for by his dad, and another whose parents can’t.

While that one cures, I added the trench run and got capacitive touch working in the studs.

Very happy about this.

Here’s the bare circuit

I guess I’m just going to work my way through then.
