We would have to ask each GM I've considered for the next time I run a game, that I'd pre-roll any RNG results for each player on each phase, and have it saved somewhere before the game starts. Then it could be used to prove rolls were legit and also let people say "What would have happened if...?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prefered dice rolling website actually offers a verification service where people can "subscribe" with their emails to a specific dice room you set up and then they'll get notified of any dice rolls you make in that room (you can also label a roll before you make it, so say it can specifically say a roll is "FRAYDO - Stuck Chance" and then everyone would know which roll is which). Only downside is for games where you want people's stats to be obsfucated that could potentially give spoilers to what roles are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeod Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I roll the dice with random.org, post my preferred resolution, and then look at the outcome to see if I was on the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 So completed chapter 8 of part 1. Totally called the Sothis thing. Also DON'T TELL ME IF I'M RIGHT, but I'm thinking Edelgard is the Flame Emperor. I just want credit for calling it if/when the reveal happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 The thing is, I can see why everyone loves this game. It really gets the foreshadowing *right*, and when there's a payoff, it feels great. Like 75% of modern media tries to do that, but 90% of it fails to do it right. This game does it right. It's the type of thing you need like a FBI murder investigation room to plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could basically claim that the industry has been corrupted over the years, so the industry is no longer capable of producing media of the same quality that it did in the past. Things like monolithic media corporations that are primarily focused on making money, instead of making a product that makes money because people enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly enough, the Mandalorian was pioneering a cheaper and quicker way to produce the background for a scene using technology, instead of having to travel out into the dessert to film it. You might see a surge in independent movies being made if that technology takes off reducing the cost to produce a movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, apparently Iceland's hot springs/volcanos filling in for a strange and exotic alien planet was pretty novel and untapped last season, though can only do that for so long before the "not California/Washington State/British Columbia" novelty wears off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retaliation Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Day One You all awake to the sounds of wailing alarm sirens. "Attention citizens! Due to multiple violations of Imperial law this space station has been reallocated to the Interstellar Refurbishing Syndicate by the segmentum government on Hydraphur. Please remain in your quarters until acquisition is complete." The wisdom of this course of action is cast into doubt when hab block 63b is ripped from the station by concentrated lance fire. Fighting erupts in your hab sector when IRS infiltrators begin to sabotage critical life support systems... The Militia wins when all IRS aligned players are dead. IRS players win when they achieve parity with town numbers regardless of remaining attack actions. If there are additional alignments, their objectives are unknown at this time.
