What if I really want to use a banana for determining the scale? (cmon, let's be real, you came here to talk about the drawing of a banana)

In last week's drawing, I intentionally left the tip of the coloring pencil, to achieve that. But now I decided to add a couple of notches to the drawing: on the bottom, two notches are set 1" apart, and the rectangular thing at the top is 1mm wide. That should do it, right?

About the micro-map itself... I'm not convinced about the cobblestones. At least these take a lot less time to draw than previous attempts. Still experimenting.

Cool. Hadn't even heard of that one.

Gave it a quick glance... apparently it doesn't "break character" absolutely anywhere.

Just a forest path with villages on each end.

I guess only Dyson and Schley are widely known. But do check them out.

In general? Randy Musseau, Dyson Logos, Mike Schley, Eneko Menika, and Guillaume Tavernier.

But I also lurk in mapmaking communities and gawk at all kinds of maps.

Thanks! That's the first time I tried something like that.

Of course, I saw it elsewhere and then tried to replicate it.

Plus a few cave doodles to fill in some gaps.

Cyberpunk RED got stealth hacking rules! (rtalsoriangames.com)

Official rules for sneaking, rather than fighting, through a net architecture are now available for Cyberpunk RED. They are straightforward: a contested Interface check between the netrunner and daemons/dwellers in the arch:

To establish stealth in a NET Architecture, you have to spend an additional NET Action when you Jack In. When you do, you roll a contested Interface Check (Interface + 1d10 vs Interface + 1d10) against all Watchers (Demons, enemy Netrunners … and other entities with an Interface Rank) currently in the Architecture. If you beat them all, you successfully establish stealth and enter the system undetected.

Once the netrunner is in, they need to make a similar check against any Black Ice they encounter:

When a Netrunner encounters a Black ICE while in stealth, they roll Interface + any bonus to Cloak Checks + 1d10 vs the Black ICE’s Perception + 1d10 instead of performing a Speed Check.

Once the netrunner fails the perception check, they are no longer sneaking and normal rules apply.

I'm glad there are more options for netrunners now. I hope RTal adds more options in future.

When I think about underground cave systems, it's hard not to think about FR's underdark. I (somewhat) remember an illustration about adventurers reaching one end of the Darklake... with no other shore on sight.

Thanks!

I don't have them at hand right now, but they must be barely over an inch on the short side.

I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.

Before creating [email protected] I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.

I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.

It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)

We’re listening.

Thanks for encouragement! ;)

It's actually somewhat therapeutic.

There's also [email protected] which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.

What do you use as map-making software? by roflo1 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I settled on Campaign Cartographer 3+.

It has a steep learning curve, but seems to be the most powerful tool by far.

The easiest Traveller version is definitely the one from Mongoose.

Also, you should check out Seth Skorkowsky’s overview videos:

Resources for becoming a better player! by roflo1 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

From your last sentence, perhaps a few of Seth Skorkowsky’s videos fit the bill:

https://youtu.be/fDuDDz8pKgk?si=sNu0n6sb_slOagyz

https://youtu.be/uAIUhQatJrg?si=dpr-4MtR088dcHsm

https://youtu.be/hNElPzNkgOs?si=C0eigQvIxpsMIdEU

But then I have to ask: What do you think is a better player? How does your table work? What kind of games does your group prefer? What do you all appreciate the most from the game?

Some groups are delighted when everyone has a great backstory, while others yawn at it. Some groups enjoy voice acting while some of us don’t bother as long as you stay in character when needed. Some like full immersion and others mostly like to hang around with friends. Some like the sandbox while others wish for a carefully thought out plot. Some like hack n’ slash and others prefer political intrigue and social interactions.

How do you describe a fun, a great session?

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I'll have UV clearance.
