The French education system require to study two foreign language among a long list, so why most people take English + German/Spanish/Italian some people take rare language like Chinese.
To my understanding rare and hard language like Chinese (or Russian) are also a way to be admitted to a better school/class than your local school, so it’s often used by rich kids who want to bypass their local public school and be affected to a good school/class
Do not assume that every character Trauma is the player putting their own Trauma, while it’s not uncommon to be from a bankrupt wealthy familyor gender non comforming, oreven a single parentIRL, it’s a very classic Character design trope, because fighting lord evil who stole your family possession or finding back your original body/form are great Character goal feeding the plot and the story.
Sure it may be a way to tell something about you in the PC creation, but it may just be a way to offer plot hooks
Some form of exercise are better for your back than others.
Pain isn’t normal, and 30 is quite young so talk with a doctor, get a couple of physiotherapy session, and find a sport helping your back (and a whole strategy)
There is tons of worker right protests/riots, it as a thing long before pride, and untilcapitalist culture turned pried from riot to business friendly music festival. The worker protest were way more popular. I know that US are an outlier, but I am sure that even American do protest.
Most “Minority rights” aren’t specific rights for minority but basic rights for everyone. If you can’t dress as you like or be rejected for a job due to ryour private life it impacts more than just LGBTQ+
Ironically, the most active rpg community here is the meme one, but you could definitely use the main !rpg@ttrpg.network to discuss World building and GM techniques
Then there is the Vampire player,
If you ask them about their character backstory, they’ll be ultra-happy and tell you about your character until dawn
Even worse,
You create a complex NPC with a full plan, but the PC are in a murder hobbo mood and just kill them, Then you have Bolin the Goblin, who suddently beg the PC for mercy, and someone wants to spare them, so now you have a whole session role-playing with Bolin the Goblin
It’s not complicated, they know there is first time and non frequent flyers who get lost easily. Here is a form of routine.
Do as much as possible in advance if you can self-check-in online and just go to the bag drop, do-it
Try to drop your bag and clear security as quickly as possible, you’ll get some “peace of mind” once done, as these are the parts where you can loose a lot of time. To do so check information panel at the airport entrance.
Before clearing security, remove shoes, belt, put laptop/phone on the tray bins. While it’s not requested, remove your jewels/piercing they might trigger a metal detector.
Another pro-tip for security, while in theory it changes nothing, but dress properly, give the image of someone who travels internationally and can afford business class.
You fly business, so you most likely have access to lounge, it’s way better than the standard waiting room, so enjoy. If you’re a bit stress a glass of wine in the lounge way help you to relax and sleep better during the long flight
roughly 30 minutes before departure, try to be at your gate, usually, I try to locate the gate before the rest.
You have a connection, when dropping the bag, ask whether it comes directly to your final destination. I expect that you’ll clear custom in München (assuming you fly from the EU), this is not a big deal
A big issue is the single use. Why do you need a plastic wrapping in the cookies ? if you get cookies at your local bakery, and give them your own bag, they’ll put-it inside, no problem.
Note also, that a lot of things are already ongoing to ban single-use plastic. I am old enough to remember the late 90’s early 00’s when you would get a plastic bag from any shop, these have been outlawed a while ago and nobody miss them
That can be an interesting story. Adventurer with their gold coins wreck a village economy until the taxperson comes
Some stuff to remember, if you don’t want a TPK
Never expect that the party will surrender.
If you tell the party it’s dangerous don’t go there , you can bet they’ll be there by the end of the evening
Ignore the critical fail rules when a PC use explosive
And then, In nomine satanis/Magna Veritasuse a D666
May-be not talking about trans agenda and transgenderism would make your post feeling less bigoted, and more open for discussion.
And in general denying basic human rights to people no matter the reason sucks
Ít’s great to bring back the old name but beside a marketing stunt, what does it bring to players ?
I really enjoyed white wolf games back in the days, and I am glad to see the whole World of darkness back among the popular games. but let’s see whether they can please both the old fans and the new players
Actually OP handled it pretty well, at least in the end . PC face consequences for their actions (a trial with the risk of being hung) and end up having to act to solve the problem. It’s somehow created more game opportunities.
Can we use !europe!europe@feddit.org to talk about European affairs ?
Location matters, most western democracies have a minimum age for criminal liability and 10 years old would be considered too young to face criminal justice
Obligatory reminder that “Gyms aren’t the only way to exercise”, find a sport you enjoy with people you like and you’ll spend time having fun rather than feeling like exercise is a chore. Most clubs gladly take adult beginner (who are the volunteers who’ll run the club in 10 years)
As you said, weight loss is in the plate rather than in the gym. But exercising helps with overall physical and mental health
Do some people actually playing RPG care that much about range ? Rather than some guesstimate ?
I actually find the Ryuytama range management pretty cool, where you simply say whether your character is at contact/short-range/long-range/away and that’s it.
