Adventurer! We've resurrected our March 2021 Index Card RPG Bundle featuring the 2021 Master Edition of Index Card RPG, the fast-playing modular DIY RPG toolset from Runehammer Games. These .PDF ebooks let you construct your own streamlined, fast-playing campaign in almost any genre. You can easily adapt ICRPG's videogame-style ideas to any other RPG: Hearts (Zelda-inspired hit points), Effort (a way of pacing a scene), universal Targets (every roll in a given scene is rolled against the same Target number), and "banana movement." (On your turn, your miniature can move across the playfield the length of a banana and still take another action. Move banana-length-plus, that's your whole turn.)
Small update after using it for a couple of weeks:
Installed apps:
- cloudLibrary
- Handy News Reader (rss)
Handy News Reader:
- getpocket's rss to save stuff to read later
- lemmy rss feed
- various other
Main use cases:
- read up on news through HNR: works very well, it has builtin nav buttons to avoid scrolling
- read pdf documents: use NeoReader, works excellently
- read (epub-style) ebooks: use NeoReader+cloudLibrary, both work very well
- play Solo RPG: take notes, navigate in different tables; requires frequent switching between note app and NeoReader. Not ideal, split screen mode would result in too little screen estate for the pdf. I've setup the android 'recently used' shortcut as swiping up bottom left, but still not ideal.
Battery Life:
- ebook reading: excellent: a couple %/h
- pdf reading: good: <10%/hour
- general usage: frequent app switching, ...: reasonable ~10%/h
AMA
Am using one for the last week. AMA
So I've been using it intensely for a couple of days. I think it's a very good match for what i wanted to do. (multi-doc switching + separate note taking, with color). I do have a couple of enhancement requests that I'm going to submit to the software team. Quite nice battery life for pure reading as well.

I'll share my experiences in this community once mine arrives.
Not yet, I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out!
I'd also really like to try out some space-opera-like Fate system. Think StarFinder but in a Fate system.
Any solo-playable systems/settings that you'd recommend?

Their plan is definitely to leave locations where working conditions are not in their favor. Not so lol for the people losing their jobs, though right? :-(
So, Werchter '23 is over. This was the first edition I was planning to not go. Didn't regret it it, too few of the old gang managed to get there. So now I'm officially old :-)
The measures planned for Huntsman include reducing the presence in several European countries. “As too Moving to facilities that reflect the company’s future needs and an intention to move some jobs to new locations note that is HQ (not a plant, ie driven by energy costs). Also note that they reference inflation, but this 'only' impacts this place by means of wage cost. The HQ is being relocated to a place with 'better' conditions (in the EU for now, but mainly Poland).
I do wonder how effective this would be if for example a multinational can simply withdraw from Belgium or even the EU :-( Even if the argument was made that it was more efficient or at least not less efficient than the status quo, a lot of these companies have a very heavy US-biased view on work-life-balance (see for for example the current RTO initiatives as well).
I think it depends on your personal state of mind. Some people might enjoy being deconnected more and others just the additional 'buffer' of time around worktime.
I found that even one additional hour per day to spend on family and enjoyment was improving my work output in a way that it almost negated the one hour of worktime lost.
Thanks! I hope your Lemmy instance thrives and achieves what you intended!
Looking for role-playing-group
It's been a while since my regular group got together and I was wondering whether anyone here is also looking for the same around Leuven. I'm open to GM or not, system also doesn't matter too much.
