Sweet! I didn't know you created those, I used the MCDM vampires in my Curse of Strahd game and loved them. I also used your earlier varieties of vampires like the Bonded Vampire. You've made some really distinctive, fun monsters! Thank you.

 

Cairn, by Yochai Gal, is getting a 2e and the playtest doc is linked in the announcement post. Among other changes, it contains some really cool new character backgrounds similar to Electric Bastionland. Check it out!

Personally I've played 1e and very much enjoyed it, but wished it had just a tiny more going on in character advancement and mechanics for running longer campaigns. Seems like I'm getting just what I want with this new version.

Crows are punk AF

That looks so cool! From a distance it appears to just be the natural shape of the wood, I like the delight and surprise as you get close enough to see the details. So unique.

  • What's the on-call process like?
  • How much time off on average do developers actually take?
  • What is the testing and QA process?
  • How do you measure success of a project?
  • When and how do you evaluate employee performance?

I want to make sure my work-life balance isn't going to be awful, and hearing that they have Unlimited Vacation doesn't tell me how much vacation people actually take. I also want to know that the place isn't just doing what a manager thinks "feels right" but actually measures and has standard processes for making decisions.

Another question I usually ask that may be relevant for many of you: what proportion of your developers are women? And: are there any women in tech leadership roles?

Personally, with that one, I'm mostly just looking for a normal response and that it isn't zero. I don't want to be the only woman around.

Spell points instead of slots for sorcerers. Makes em feel more distinctive, works better with the limited spells known, and they need the flexibility to compete with other casters.

 

I've been going to Switch n' Play shows for a while now and they're always great. This show looks really cool and I wanted to post about it, it's a great way to see some incredible performers. Seems like it'll be a lot of references to John Waters too!

If you're in NYC come out tonight for a good show. I'll share pics here after though!

 

Just trying to create a similar space to the subreddit, as I have always found it useful and a good place to help people. This community is still a work in progress. If you want to join in helping build this community as a moderator, please send me a DM!

Yeah, I agree - assuming most of the roots are still in the bark/moss, it's fine. In the wild they hang off trees, they've got it covered.

Darmok is probably my favorite but this list is perfect

Yeah, I don't buy that humanity has drastically changed all of a sudden. It's the circumstances that are different and we're all paying the price.

Ukraine too! My Ukrainian grandfather made it.

I highly recommend the book First Among Equals. It's specifically about running a team of developers and managing them well. I found it full of good ideas and it's specific to tech as well, it's not just general management advice.
