Fangelsehala includes using a "Doom Stack" for health. Basically you have to stack d6s as you take damage and when the stack falls, that's when your character dies.

Does anyone have an explanation or link to the video where he talks about needing streetcars and a subwat that serve the same stops? He references it a few times in the video but doesn't explain why he thinks that and I'm currious.

I've moved away from the kind of game that has a planned plot and requires players to know a lot of rules. Many players put in as little effort as possible, to the point of not reading rules and not giving notice of a failure to show.

If you feel you need to invest in characters I'd advise only doing it for players who consistently show up.

I finished Dawn Shard now and I enjoyed it more than Way of Kings but not enough to want to read more Stormlight Archives. I actually found the story to be a fairly self-contained story on a boat. I think already knowing a bit of spoilers about spren and void bringers was enough.

There were sometimes parts where characters would mention things like briefly being a king in the past, which I'm sure comes from another book but wasn't important for the plot of this book.

Overall I'm just not a Sanderson fan I think. I don't like his humour and I found I really didn't care about the characters in Way of Kings. The big problem is that his books are so long and it seems like not much happens until the end. I saw fans calling this an avalanche but I really couldn't stand it. No hate on others who like it but it's really not for me.

Fair enough but I really didn't enjoy the first book and these books are huge. I'd rather be confused and get through it than buy and read two more massive tomes I likely won't enjoy.

If I was a player in this game I would stop going. It punishes committed players to put them at the mercy of the uncommitted.

I'll send you an update once it's done. My group rotates GMs and systems but within a few months I'll have them doing Gradient Descent.

I'm prepping a one-shot with Fangelsehala and a longer campaign with Mothership.

They'd need to be able to boost our morale with the litanies of hate. I did play in the Deathwatch RPG though which has a Chaplain class.

Wow yikes. You sound like fun at parties. Go find someone to care about.

For the record, I think there is a loneliness epidemic for both genders.

The worst part of this is the "This is part of the story"
