So mines a weird hodge-podge of a HP Proliant (running my modded Minecraft server and Plex) under a bistro table that I use as a standup desk. A HP Thinclient that I run lighter services like my Pi-Hole and Homebridge. and a laptop

I can’t believe we still can’t moderate chat in a public webinar…. « Hey the guy who wrote ‘FUCK’ 20 times? Yeah you can kick him out, but make sure to keep these messages visible for all posterity »

Can’t send private messages to outsiders also. Who could EVER need this in a public event anyway?

And make sure you can’t let people join the breakout room of their choice. Take the time to individually assign them one by one before the meeting! Fun!!

Hey at least we can play Backgammon in a meeting, so there’s that right?

Just to add to that answer, I’d the biggest difference is the grim powerlessness. The players can barely delay the inevitable and most will probably die in the process.

There are way more skills aimed at investigations, and the goal are often more aimed towards a McGuffin that solves the issues, or sometimes the goal is simply to just be able to leave in one piece and hope someone else cleans the mess 😅. (There’s actually a fan story adapted into a RPG called « Delta Green » where you play a secret military tasked with dealing with mythos threats)

As D&D is the epic hero’s journey where Gandalf saves everyone at the last minute, CoC is the horror thriller where the protagonist dies, only a rando side character survives and walks off screen as the dead monster opens its eyes again just before cutting to black.

Hey EU! Microsoft is not letting me play Mario Odyssey on their closed system!! Fix it!

In Vampire: The Masquerade, it’s considered one of the most taboo act as you literally take in the life force and soul of that other vampire.

But it’s an alluring concept as it can make the aggressor more powerful (at the cost of some humanity… it’s cannibalism after all) AND the victim vampire is utterly destroyed (so one of the permanent ways to take out an adversary)

No worries 😁 I used Leonardo.Ai’s new Phoenix model. It’s actually INCREDIBLE with text and complex setups. (AND it does rectangle ratios 😉)

It works pretty much by describing in natural language what you expect to see so no knowledge of complex meta-tags are necessary.
