2023.05.31 04:56 -As5as51n- Does anyone have any gritty/dark fantasy yet rules-light system recommendations?
I’ve been working on my own TTRPG and, while doing so, have been trying out a variety of systems, under different settings, genres, and more. Recently been into Lancer. My table, however, is wanting to try a grittier system, as well as a more rules-light system.
For rules-light, we’ve tried some games like LUMEN and Dungeon World. However, the table has felt that many of these rules-light games focus a lot on the power fantasy. LUMEN was designed completely around that! So they’re wanting to try a darker, grittier kind of fantasy or sci-fi under a rules-light system. Any great system suggestions/recommendations?

we’re going into our ninth season of our redraft H2H Yahoo 12 team league and are looking to recruit a couple of new managers that want to play seasoned managers that know the game and play tough the whole season. If you love fantasy football, really love fantasy football... we play 16 weeks > last two weeks are playoffs. QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, K, DEF, DT, LB, DB and 5 player bench. Having a short bench really makes this league super competitive with very active waivers and many trades. This is a well managed, competitive, fun, free league where the only cost is sweat and tears. We chat throughout the year using Discord chat and do a group video meetup about once a month during the NFL season. Must have at least three years verifiable fantasy season experience and want to partake in the social aspect of the league through Discord chat and events

2023.05.31 03:34 CoachSpo [NFL] The Miracle That Died - Chargers @ Dolphins, 1982 AFC Divisional Playoffs (Full Game)
submitted by CoachSpo to miamidolphins [link] [comments]
2023.05.31 03:33 PocketPillow Oregon AD Rob Mullens Interview: Confident the Pac-12 will beat 31.6 mil per year. Worried about future of home-and-home P5 OoC scheduling under new playoff format. PAC could look at 10 game conference schedule.
By sub rules I can't copy and paste pay walled articles but here is the link. Summary:
- Asked about the report that the Pac 12 teams still expected to get more than the 31.6 million the Big 12 is getting he said "You have the right sources. You've been spot on."
- Said that finances only work if you have 7 home games per year scheduled, but with "high profile" schools from the B1G and SEC backing out on agreements and becoming gunshy on scheduling trips out west it becomes harder to schedule 7 games without paying millions to lower level teams.
- He prefers the formula of 9 conference games, one high profile OoC opponent, one G5, and one FCS but finding those high profile opponents is "becoming increasingly difficult."
- Notes that after Texas A&M cancelled their series Oregon had to scramble and pay 1.6 million to San Jose St. to change their schedule and make the trip to Eugene.
- Says that the new playoff schedule is also changing the way high profile schools are scheduling, looking to limit risk rather than seek big matchups.
- When asked, said the Pac 12 "could look at" a 10 game conference schedule with hosting 2 OoC home games against G5s as a result if the pattern continues and schools further seek to limit risk.
- Notes that public schools are pressured to schedule FCS regional schools to help fund them and keep their programs afloat (Portland State paid 575k to take a bus ride to Eugene this year).

2023.05.31 01:57 BAMPF_Fairy F4F 18+ looking for players
Would anyone be interested in a typical fantasy RP using rules from d&d 5e and themes from Norse Mythology?
Must be 18+ (preferably 25+ I'm 31) and willing to play a female or AFAB character. LGBTQ+ friendly. Someone who can do long replies but prefers to be more consice just for faster RP. Ideally i think 1 or 2 paragraphs per post on the regular with potential for longer as we develop characters and plots.
We can play via discord, no voice chat, text only with a strong narrative focus on your character and their relationships with the other PCs.
I'm looking to DM/story run and would ideally like 2 to 4 players (or someone who can play multiple characters, I could play a PC if needed but prefer to just Storyrun) who all grew up together in the same enclave. It would be a sort of coming of age story, where the group of childhood friends just reaching adulthood (age 20) would set out on their first adventure in the world all while unraveling the mysteries that surround them. The starting hometown is a strange matriarchal druid enclave, hidden from the rest of the world that is entirely female. You were taken in as a child, the same way every member of the enclave is. You would decide why/how that happened. We can RP out important backstory moments together to flesh out your characters and strengthen the bond between them before we start at present day.
I'm just trying to see if this has any interest, as I don't want to put a bunch of work into it if I can't find players, so leave a response if you are interested and tell me maybe a bit about yourself or if you have a character idea in mind!

2023.05.31 01:39 kayenano The Villainess Is An SS+ Rank Adventurer: Chapter 89
[<< First] [< Previous] [Next >]
[Patreon] [Discord]
Synopsis: Juliette Contzen is a lazy, good-for-nothing princess. Overshadowed by her siblings, she's left with little to do but nap, read … and occasionally cut the falling raindrops with her sword. Spotted one day by an astonished adventurer, he insists on grading Juliette's swordsmanship, then promptly has a mental breakdown at the result.
Soon after, Juliette is given the news that her kingdom is on the brink of bankruptcy. At threat of being married off, the lazy princess vows to do whatever it takes to maintain her current lifestyle, and taking matters into her own hands, escapes in the middle of the night in order to restore her kingdom's finances.
Tags: Comedy, Adventure, Action, Fantasy, Copious Ohohohohos.
Chapter 89: Clash Of Snow I blinked, all my worst nightmares resurfacing as the Snow Dancer's silver sword swept towards my neck.
In that moment, I saw a premonition of what was to come if I failed in my duty to rescue my kingdom and secure plentiful supply of inexpensive soap to the peasantry.
A glint of steel, no different than the cruel edge of a guillotine, its swift onslaught the herald to our fair realm falling into ruin and rubble as a newly raised republic.
I shuddered as images of fire, smoke and anarchy zipped through my mind, our libraries overrun with illiterate looters and bandits while farmers burgled our royal kitchens for the produce we'd bought from them at a price so extortionately low that they could never hope to leave poverty.
But that's all they were. A terrible premonition.
It wasn't yet time for my life to flash before my eyes. And so I answered the coming sword with the only answer that befitted a princess of this dignified kingdom.
I scowled.
How
dare this woman attempt to behead me!
Even in my worst nightmares, whole crowds of angry peasants filled the streets! A deluge of rotten fruit tossed and thrown at me as they decried the life of luxury I deservedly lived at their expense! I had an audience! A death befitting my high status!
Even in my last moments, I could look down upon the unwashed masses from the raised platform built for my execution!
But here?
This was a frozen chamber, with the crowds consisting of frozen guards barely tall enough to keep their heads above the snow!
The insult was palpable!
And so–my expression creased beneath the weight of the indignity I felt.
Faced with a scowl hardened by 3 hours of daily practice over 4117 consecutive days, it's little wonder that the sword approaching me instantly slowed.
Indeed, the Snow Dancer positively quailed at the sight … even if she was still smiling in highly off-putting joy!
Brows dented, I twisted around to face the silver sword, taking advantage of the lapse in concentration as I swept Starlight Grace up.
Then, with all the elegance of a troll merchant clubbing away an unsatisfied customer, I batted the silver sword with the utter disdain it deserved.
Immediately, the Snow Dancer pirouetted, her speed as she brought her sword around at odds with the weak commitment of her strike.
Clearly fazed from my utter contempt at this terrible choice of location, the blade that approached my side was as easily slapped away as the falling leaves in my orchard.
And then … she
blinked away.
Gaining several steps of distance, the elven woman stood still and tilted her head, looking down at her own sword with an expression of puzzlement.
After which–her blue eyes took in my scowl.
“Wow,” she said. “Now that was something.”
I held Starlight Grace aloft, adopting whatever pose I knew looked most fashionable against the billowing snow at my back.
Ohoho … this sword saint!
She'd underestimated my ability to instantly cower opponents with facial expressions alone! And no wonder. Who else could crease their brows faster than physics could allow? When a servant spilled wine on my dress, I could adopt an expression of outrage faster than the liquid could stain me!
“An opportunistic attack, Snow Dancer. But I advise you not to underestimate me. The strike of your blade is less swift than the fumbling of my attendants.”
Ophelia blew a puff of silver hair away.
“Ouch, that hurts, comparing my [Butterfly Horizon] to whatever it is maids try on you. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised you parried that. Being high up the fancy ladder must mean having a sixth sense to attacks from behind, huh?”
“Quite so. It matters not from which direction they come. When they seek to stain my dress red, I will know before the deed is done.”
The Snow Dancer twirled her sword, drawing the falling snow towards it.
“So sneak attacks won't work? And to think I still can't catch a whiff of anything scary about you. Now that's a strong presence concealment. How long have you trained with a sword to get like that, Miss E-rank Adventurer?”
I smiled in response.
All the while, I came to a sudden realisation.
I, Juliette Contzen, time trained with a sword, zero hours, was currently duelling with a sword saint.
“O … ohohohoho! I've … I've been trained in a secret fencing style before I could even use a fork! As … As you can see, my ability to stand undaunted is testament to my unmatched skills in swordsmanship, born of natural talent and honed through years of studious effort!”
“Really? Wow. It really is secret. I don't recognise it at all. Is it an adventurer thing?”
“This?” I looked down at my footwork. “Why, this is … this is the pouncing cobra sub-stance of my secret fencing style! A highly defensive position favouring swift counter attacks! Only a fool would attempt to break through my infallible parry and suffer my undodgeable reprisal!”
The elven woman narrowed her eyes at my perfectly acceptable way of holding a sword
“Hmmmmm. It doesn't really remind me of a pouncing cobra?”
I smiled. Hard.
To be so studiously examined was … well, a little bit embarrassing.
But no matter!
Once I defeated her, all thoughts of my supremely unorthodox pose would be forgotten!
Yes, my underhanded strike at her undefended flank had shockingly failed. And yes, this was now an open fight with an A-rank sword saint. And yes, this was indeed a minor problem. After all, for an untrained princess to defeat a sword saint in a fair fight was an impossible feat. The difference between our skill and experience was a canyon wider than the eyes could see.
That's why–I had absolutely zero intention to fight her fairly!
Ohohohoho!
If I were to defeat the Snow Dancer, then it would be with guile, subterfuge and an utter lack of chivalry!
And so, I turned to my assistant in crime!
There, safely tucked away behind a truly impressive snow bastion, my future handmaiden was peering over a solid battlement, ready to come to my assistance at a moment's notice.
And upon the walls of her castle, was a giant message written in the snow.
~ Fight On! Fight On! Juliette Official Fan Club! ♡ B-E-L-I-E-V-E ♡ ~
“You can do it!~” she cried, her hands forming a tunnel around her mouth. “We believe in you!~”
Quack, quack. Quack, quack. Squeezed under her arm was the crystal beaked duck. She hadn't bothered plucking the arrows from it.
I pursed my lips.
Then I turned to the elven woman.
“Oho … ohoho! S-See the peril you find yourself in, Snow Dancer! Even my loyal handmaiden sees no need to come to my immediate aid! Challenging me with a sword is as futile as challenging the stars!”
Far from fleeing at my proclamation, Ophelia's eyes lit up with anticipation.
Ugh, people with swords!
Why did they only think with their foreheads and not anything behind it?! Just go headbutt a wall if you want to expend energy!
“Funny, that,” she said, for some reason sheathing her sword. “I actually did try challenging the stars once.”
Her hand never left her sword's hilt.
Then, she smiled as a circle of white flames suddenly erupted around her.
“Spoiler alert–I failed,” she said, her hair rustling magnificently amongst the ring of blazing light. “But I learned how to get a bit closer to them at least … so, [Gravity Reversal].”
The Snow Dancer drew her sword.
I was aghast.
How did everyone know how to conjure flames except me?! Furthermore, was it a rule that overdone names were necessary for sword techniques?! Why, it's because of people like her that Coppelia wished to rename [Spring Breeze] to [Ball Of Doom]! Just what was a [Gravity Reversal]?!
As expected, names should provide clear and concise information! How was I supposed to prepare for something so ominously named with so little context?!
I already suspected I couldn't rely on my scowl to still her next attack! Even so, this sounded like something else entirely! Was she about to throw something at me?!
“–Hieee?!”
The moment her blade left its sheath, I could feel the ground … no, the
snow beneath me beginning to rise.
And then I realised that what she was throwing was, in fact,
me.
To my absolute chagrin, everything in a wide circle around me was suddenly lifted up into the air.
I was appalled. There were very few scenarios in which I wished to be removed from the ground, and all of them involved being carried by Coppelia as she rescued me to a dramatic backdrop of something exploding.
This was not that!
“–Hiiieeeeee?!”
T-This sensation!
It was practically the same as when my mother's maids woke me each morning! The hopeless indignation as I was swept away as part of my duvet and unceremoniously dumped to the floor!
And worst … it wasn't the sparkling floor of my bedroom which awaited me, but a ceiling as dull as it was dusty!
Glancing up, I witnessed the dark stonework slowly …
slowly approaching.
So slowly, in fact, that all I could feel was the insult being levied against both my time and my high standards for any demise!
A plain ceiling without a hint of embellishment? It was disgraceful! Of all the ceilings I wished to be splattered upon, it would be the magnificent
Plafond De Dix Mille Cygnes, painted upon the vestibule of Reitzlake's cathedral!
No, just as much as I refused to accept being hoisted into the air against my will, I also refused to be crushed against such an artless ceiling … especially by a bed of snow!
So the Snow Dancer wished to test winter against me, did she?
Ohohohohoho!!
How dare she belittle the kingdom's sharp seasonal changes! To wake up and witness the horror of a blanket of heavy snow suddenly throttling my begonias was a sight I was all too keenly aware of! Why, it was not merely insects which threatened my orchard, but the elements themselves!
That's why–
I leaned down, then shoved Starlight Grace directly into the snow.
“Such fine snow you offer. Let's see if we can make it finer yet, shall we?”
And then–I began to dig.
“
Witness the dawning morn, breaking these chains of malaise! Gardening Form, 5th Stance … [Winter Snow Shovel]!”
Ohhhohohohohoho!
Here it was!
A finely honed technique used specifically to remove mounds of snow without the need to painstakingly shovel away like a peasant in a field!
By digging my sword in overlapping, cross-crossing motions, I could make any mound of snow into powder so fine that once I blew at it, all the snow was instantly swept to the abyss!
… But this time, I had no wish to turn this snow into mist.
No, for the Snow Dancer's slovenly attack, she would receive the most slovenly [Winter Snow Shovel] in return!
Because instead of turning the snow into fine grains as I dug … I ceased, allowing the partially hewn icy snow to remain gathered beneath my boots.
I peered down at the snowy ground, seeing the innumerable tiny fissures I'd created.
And then–I gently blew.
BWOOOOOOOOOOOOMPH.
The mass of snow beneath me shuddered and exploded.
Suddenly, a hailstorm of my very own making shot towards the direction of the Snow Dancer, each rough, yet artistically shaped shard capable of being propelled by a single breath!
Ohhohohohohohoho!!!
An A-rank sword saint! And yet what was [Gravity Reversal], but an overly named way to throw a snowball?! Perhaps it could be used to bring down pigeons from the sky, but such an attack was worthless against the power of my snow shovelling skills, tested and refined in the unremitting cold of Tirea's winters!
Containing the cutting edge of a sharpened dagger, each icy shard utterly exposed the sword saint's poor naming sense as her technique was instead turned into a falling rain of doom … nor were the shards the only things to fall.
For a moment, I found myself suddenly suspended in the air, taking my place high above everyone's heads like the veritable angel I was.
And then I dropped, not yet having bloomed my wings yet.
“–Hiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee?!”

2023.05.31 01:29 AdamBombKelley RT scores for the Races of Tamriel
Argonians: 🍅
- Mysterious hivemind lizards who one day decided they were all going to simultaneously zerg rush Morrowind and kill everyone. Badass. Also Argonian tiddies do something to me.
Imperials: 🦠
- Smug cowards who only care about other Imperials. They'd sell out an entire province and sacrifice thousands of lives to save a handful of Imperial soldiers, and they have done this on multiple occasions. Every new Elder Scrolls game completely retcons their lore, so the history of Cyrodiil is an incomprehensible mess that flipflops between schizophrenic Kirkbride bullshit and bland-ass generic fantasy.
Khajiit: 🍅
- A race of cat men who steal everything that isn't nailed down and smoke crack as their religion. Hilarious. Plus Khajiit caravans in Skyrim are aesthetic as hell. "The warm sands of Elsweyr are far away from here." Good line, makes you feel wistful.
Redguards: 🦠
- They live in the desert. That's it. That's their entire lore. Nobody wants to add onto it because nobody wants to be the one to say anything about fantasy black people. Thank god for Kirkbride and his junkie ass saying shit like "They worship a guy named Big Papa and they act like Naruto and they have nukes and they're scared of ghosts," otherwise they'd be the second-most boring race on Tamriel.
Bretons: 🦠
- The most boring race on Tamriel. Just a generic-ass fantasy kingdom with castles and knights and shit. Every other race takes the generic fantasy tropes and twists them around to make them unique. Not Bretons. A renaissance faire has more unique flavor than High Rock does.
Dunmer: 🍅
- Genuinely unique. Gray-skinned elves who live in a bizarre, alien country with giant mushroom towers and ash storms and ziggurats and crabshell houses. Slavery is rampant and everyone's racist. Their god lives in a big house in the middle of town and he wrote his own Bible. Kirkbride says all sorts of crazy, pseudointellectual, cringy, annoying shit, but we accept all of that as fact, because Kirkbride made Morrowind, so he is forever great in my book.
Nords: 🍅
- They came from the Far North, and conquered a third of the continent, exterminating entire races and building a massive empire that they ruled for thousands of years. They worshiped the dragons, then they were enslaved by them, then they exterminated the dragons just like they killed the elves. They wrote great songs and built mighty temples. They learned the Thu'um from Kyne and could destroy armies with one breath. The landscape of Skyrim is so densely populated with Nordic ruins that First-Era Skyrim must have been one massive city reaching from the Druadach to the Velothi. Then something cataclysmic happened, and now they're just shitty Vikings living in crumbling forts.
Altmer: 🍅
- I know they're Nazis, but they're tall and they have big boobs and the generic Altmer female voice turns me on for some reason. The male ones are really hot too. Ryan Gosling would be an Altmer.
Bosmer: 🦠
- Bosmer are lame as shit. The lore has one neat concept (they love the forest so much that they only eat meat), but it doesn't actually come up ingame. Every game just has a handful of Bosmer NPC's, and they're just generic elves, and it wouldn't make a difference if you changed them to Redguards or Dunmer or Nords. Bosmer Bussy is a forced meme that has no basis in reality, because Bosmer males just look like this.
Orsimer: 🦠
- I really want to like Orcs because they live in shtetls, and also the snu snu, but god damn they're boring. Orc NPC's have like two lines of dialogue. They wear heavy ugly armor, and they act like Klingons, just like everyone else's Orcs. Yawn. The only thing different about them is their poop-themed creation story, which actually makes them worse than everyone else's Orcs.

2023.05.31 01:03 mecha-roxy Want to brainstorm a world and play against a twisted mind?
Alright, hello, hello! I’m Blye, and I’m looking for partners to brainstorm about some loose ideas i’ve got. i tend to play angsty, broken characters, folks with something to prove and nothing to lose, dangerous, exciting people!
I tend to lean toward high fantasy settings, future, past, or even certain canon universes from things like a great number of anime or star wars.
I’m flexible on any and everything in terms of partner characters, universe, whatever, my post length typically is multiple paragraphs and i expect the same in return, and my one hard rule is that I absolutely DO NOT ROLE PLAY WITH MINORS! Sorry, nothing against you guys personally, but better safe than sorry.
I hope this is enough info, if you have any questions or ideas or want to make some together my DM’s are always open! I hope to find people who do this over discord, by the by. Thanks!

2023.05.31 01:03 zombigoutesel The Myth of Iridium in Haiti.
The link at the top of this page is the Haitian Offices of mine and energy special publication on iridium. They put this out last year to set the record straight.
http://synthese.larim.polymtl.ca:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/408 The conclusion on page 9 states that the commercial viability of iridium exploitation in Haiti is pur fantasy giveny the extremely low concentration in the beloc formation. It's more a geological point of interest that gives information on a 65 million year old geological event.
They source the studies done in the 80s and 90s. That started fuelling all the rumors.
There are several sources online misquoting these original studies and misquoting the publications of this same government office.
This is the interview of professor Vixamar that is often quoted. He isn't a geologist, Just random, university teacher.
https://www.facebook.com/LeMagazineHT/videos/1056323478607188/?app=fbl This guy doesnt know what's he is saying and is pretty close to granmoun kap radote territory.
This Haiti liberté article quots both that interview and misquotes the Haitian agency for Mines and energy that put out that same report.
https://haitiliberte.com/haiti-has-the-worlds-second-largest-iridium-deposits/ I've said it before, and I stand on it. Haiti liberté is straight up misinformation. This article is picked up as a source for a whole bunch of other articles.
Then you have the Hotep Haitians Like this activist lady , on the rock Newman show. Misquoting these studies and just saying nonsense.
https://youtu.be/OJe6x6P0KCc This is a clip floating around social media, but you can find the full interview. Li varye. Clips of her interview get picked up all over tik tok and FB.
Please, Stop believing everything online and fact check some of this stuff.
You can see how the 3 viral sources reference each other and just perpetuate a harmful misconception.
This just fuels more of the conspiracy theories and detracts from having a real conversation about governance, rule of law or a rational social project.
