  • Numbers pulled out of my arse for illustration

    Say of the whole population GenZ is 25% and GenY is also 25% (for convenience). If then 28% of GenZ identify as LGBTQ+ that would be 28%*.25= 7% (25% of 28%, or 1/4 of 28%). For GenZ maths would be 16%*0.25=4%. So these two groups would in total contribute that 11% of the total population is LGBTQ+.

    Hopefully that makes sense.










  • Was a while since last but…

    • balance is a fickle mistress best ignored. With npc advantages/disadvantages you can easily on the fly adjust pressure.

    -when in doubt throw grenades even if the npc is bad at it. Let the grenade destroy environment

    • not just invite the players to get involved with resolving adv/disadv, drag them kicking and screaming into it. Including for the npcs

    • spend your destiny points. Do it. Do it often

    • keep the splat books to a minimum if someone wants to create their own character

    • there will be narrative chaos. Don’t fight it, embrace it. Spending destiny points to steer them back on track feels less railroady than just doing it.



  • Depends on what you want out of it, the level if automation etc.

    Installing a system ruleset, adding a few modules and other things on that level is easy. If you can use an app store you are set. Writing custom things I have no clue about.

    Finally using it. I’ve found it smoother than roll20 and fantasy grounds. Just not having to deal with roll20’s technical baggare is truly awesome.

    In the end my impression is that on a technical level it is much easier to handle. Less figuring out how not to have the platform work against you and actually work with it.

    You, depending on your ISP, may have troubles self hosting. There is the biggest technical hurdle.

    Hades was such a looser and couldn’t get a wife of his own so he went to Zeus (his brother and Persephone’s father) and asked for Persephone’s hand. He granted it knowing that neither Persephone nor Demeter would approve of it. Patriarchs be patriarchin’. So Hades lured upon Persephone and snatched her when he found her alone. Not cool.

    Demeter didn’t just cause a famine. She threw the fit of the ages, a wrath only a mother could bring forth. Her anger and indignation was so great she brought Zeus to the bargaining table. Demeter stopped everything growing, throwing the world into winter. Or the season of non-growth. Only when it was agreed that Persephone could spend half the year with her mother on the surface did her mother’s wrath subside and spring returned. But every year, when Persephone has to return to the underworld, plants wither yet again. ’

    Demeter is cool y’all.
