Was thinking more along the lines of giving them unique, large-scale goals (not entirely sure what, mind) to keep the heads busy, but you're right, most of the time they'd probably team up to murderbone the entire crew.

Professor Hangar

D&D 4e, please restrain your autistic fits at such a revelation. With a lot of homebrew.

Professor Hangar

So anyone except security and the captain can be a traitor or changeling, which gives sec reason to be suspicious of everyone else. Anyone other than sec and heads of staff can be a revolutionary, which gives the heads reason to be suspicious of their underlings. Gangs and cults don't discriminate, ...

Professor Hangar

I forgot to mention mermaids and sharkfolk also play prominent roles!

Professor Hangar

Cooperation is OP.

Professor Hangar

All the most robust players just roll Assistant and graytide anyway.

Professor Hangar

Cook can be a lot of fun with some mild cooperation, even if you're not that powerful on paper you have a lot of stuff you can do and choices with food, and if all else fails you can break into/request access to botany to grow your own ingredients. (Or use the public garden) And it's always fun to m...

Professor Hangar

Oh I didn't know the specifics. Just something about you can't charge it whilst it's stood up unless you buy a nonstandard cable which made it sound like some shitty, artificial problem creation but no-one I heard complaining about it took piccies to show off nor appeared to be complaining about th...

My first attempt at blob was completely wrecked after discovery with a box of flashbangs.

They aren't exactly a scarce resource, and I have no idea what the logic is of blobs being incredibly vulnerable to them.

Professor Hangar

Where do you think all the crocodiles live? There's bits where you can get boiled to death. It's central Australia where you gotta worry about literally dying if your car breaks down. It's a custom setting inspired loosely by colonial Australia, Mesoamerica and the Lost World, where gutsy, desperate...

Professor Hangar

My players:
'...I just noticed that this campaign has a recurring theme of every body of water trying to kill us.'

I suppose it got literal with the water elementals, but still. What do you expect in a campaign setting based on northern Australia plus extinct megafauna, dinosaurs and rogue robots?

Professor Hangar

That was the joke, yes.

The trick is, it derives from 'inflame'.

Professor Hangar

tfw '70 aesthetics is dead this this is one of my biggest gripes tbh though i thought it was more like 80s Probably says something that most of the players don't even know what the setting is supposed to be. No one has even second-hand memories of that shit anymore, it dropped down the same black h...

Professor Hangar

The idea was, in theory, the functioning fire prevention systems would contain the fire to its flat of origin, and a panicked evacuation could cause more harm. This being so you don't have a frantic stampede over children and the elderly every time someone spills the chips. This theory assumes you h...

Professor Hangar

But I already said they brought it up to win real life leddit karma. They can't do that. No-one's going to do that. If labour was even entirely behind that, they couldn't do anything because they have even less seats than the minority majority of tories. And you can't compare that to a crackdown on...

Professor Hangar

The cause of the fire is pretty much irrelevant, given that a single electrical malfunction or cooking accident should not be sufficient to turn a building housing hundreds into an inferno. Freaking Space Station 13 can handle a few explosions, and it's literally built to be a death trap. The other ...

Professor Hangar

Half and half about manslaughter, in the face of the authorities that shouldn't have pinched pennies and are more culpable it's still early days, the death count still isn't even established. If the taxi-driver actually did something to exaggerate the fire (putting the fridge up against the window,...

I could have sworn plastic surgery is something that can be done pretty easily ingame.

When thrown, it increases speed exponentially until anyone and anything caught in its path is slammed into the next wall or two.

Just as well the readership of newspapers is plummeting. Nobody's fooled that an appliance fire is the only thing that went wrong. The entire building went up like a Roman Candle, and the single stairway was surrounded by gas pipelines. The entire design and construction was a deathtrap, even before...

Professor Hangar

medical doctor is pretty redundant when robotics make medical bots and/or there's a medical borg around, at that point all you're needed for is maybe finding dead people and cloning them, but with how science is they'll have auto-cloning up pretty fast and people rarely end up dying with maximum su...

Given the history of its namesake, I thought the Gulag being escapable with some miner assistance/creativity is a feature, not a bug. Having been gulagged a few times, the main issue seems to be that half the time sec doesn't even bother setting points for release properly, or if they do it's the ma...

Professor Hangar

Not everyone is robust or enthusiastic about antagonist roles, especially in conversion game modes like revolution, gang and either flavour of cult. It's the kind of thing that can lead a cook to get converted, then shrug and keeping on making food while blood stains the halls, since there's not man...

Professor Hangar

My current attitude is that the best outcome is the one that makes the most politicians cry.

Professor Hangar

Don't you use your fancy earth logic on me.

Lord Buckethead can be patient, he ran against Margaret Thatcher too.

That's basically what just happened last year. I think it also happened in Iceland.

Professor Hangar

This kinda thing is why concept art exists, it's best to test out an aesthetic before committing absolutely to it.

Professor Hangar

Not hard to just run a test server with the explicit intention of seeing how long a round can go, sans interference, before the station and/or system starts breaking down, is it?

Professor Hangar

I think after Eliot Rodgers, no one cares about video game shooters anymore except feminists that even the tabloids don't listen to.

Professor Hangar

I think the idea is as much there to make maintaining the station deliberately difficult and dangerous, while Lavaland is dangerous enough on its own.

Though probably worth looking into finding a better balance between difficult and inevitably breaking down.

I think it's great progress that transgender people have broken the spree killer glass ceiling, with achievements equalling those of radical islamic terrorists and angry white guys who are most definitely lone wolves.

Professor Hangar

I heard a few years ago that the way stations are set up, one round that went like 24 hours resulted in everyone eventually moving to and fixing up the derelict since the default station ran out of air, but that might have changed somewhere with the dark monkey voodoo that is atmospherics.

Professor Hangar

From all I gather, people are measuring Theresa May's remaining tenure as PM with a stopwatch, and the only question is who's going to be next to take the poison chalice of Prime Ministership. The ol Poms are reaching Australia levels of political backstabbing at the worst possible time, or maybe ju...

The basic idea of allowing people to leave a round without killing themselves or going braindead isn't a bad idea, the tricky bit is execution.

Still pushing the Space TSA suggestion, with various convoluted means for antags and security to work around it. Make it like Papers, Please.

Professor Hangar

The rich assholes will be fine either way, their only problem is their high score might be smaller if things go one way or the other. I find it hilarious to call any politician some variant of starry-eyed dreamer who can't do REAL SERIOUS POLITICS nowadays, because it has been abundantly clear that ...

For mining, how about you make lavaland accessible but take away the hardsuits and KAs? I don't play mining at all (don't like lavaland) so you'll have to tell me if this is "more difficult but feasible" or "masochistic for anyone who isn't already experienced" All you technical...

Quick thought about the kitchen: It should just be a small room with a microwave and maybe a fryer. No gibber, utensils, etc. The atmos idea is a cool one too. All the gasses are in one tank, and you have to use a filter if you want to take a specific gas out. Sure, I can do that for the kitchen, b...

How different were the caliph and the sultans to the pope and the kings ruling by divine right? Did christian nobles, clergy and burghers often have more to threaten and enforce overthrowing the above with? How did republics happen after the romans gave up the idea? And were they particularly chris...

thats because that is what it is exactly. it was a book that bound all the arabian tribes together. islam and government have been intrinsically linked due to this. That's why throughout majority of muslim nations they've been caliphates and sultanates rather than kingdoms and republics. when middl...

This would be a bad fix

2 hour rounds aren't too bad, given there's time for cool projects and shit to go horribly wrong enough to make use of them.

Though any more than that and things start falling apart and not in fun ways.

Professor Hangar

Seems half the time as warden sec officers just drag in whoever on the slightest suspicion of something and don't bother telling anyone what it was.

Professor Hangar

Either that or have security have to check and clear people before they leave, all TSA style.

Professor Hangar

This seems like it'd be a big problem to reconcile with the current way traitor objectives work.
