Died on a Caves of Qud daily at level 37. Decided to lure in an enemy 12 tiles away and set a hand-e-nuke to explode 12 turns ahead. Ran away from it just realize it moves way slower than 1 tile a turn, so I WENT BACK TO LURE IT IN and blew myself up like Wile E Coyote.

There is no data to suggest a significant portion of CR fans watch it because 5e is such a great system and not the actors on screen. 5e is good at pulling in people who don't know you, CR doesn't need that pull because they are the brand. Not using your name to push the system is just bad business.
FluffCopter (@fluffcopter.bsky.social) reply parent
These things already facilitate eachother, if you are ever to try a new system then making a new world and story that would better fit that system's playstyle is a no brainer. I get not wanting to risk their business on a new system but they are tanking their new business because it IS the system.

FluffCopter (@fluffcopter.bsky.social)
Something about Caves of Qud that I think about often is how beautifully counter-intuitive it is to make some areas and enemies so manacing that you need to just avoid at all costs even if you are massively over-leveled. You can be a demigod and still die instantly to one perticular slime in 2 hits.

My instinct tells me urberry, but the huge amounts of wine compared to how rare the berry is leave me wondering. Possible that urberries have been over-harvasted to make all that wine and it's just been fermenting for a really long time.

There is something to be said here about the link between the facist ideology that fuels the movement and abusive relationships (be it domestic, romantic, social or otherwise).

I tend to treat these sort of things like the parable of the blind men and the elephant. Anything that's even mildly complicated only makes sense if you understand how all of its parts work together, so you have to avoid the instinct of giving away what a part is there for, even if it seems obvious.

I think it's an excellent device for putting you eons away from the culture you know in the real world and is long forgotten for the people in the game. How easily do you think you could identify the function of a toilet seat cover completely out of context?

"You find a strange box with a long and flat chunk of metal sticking out of it. The metal is serrated and connected to a series of small metal links that curve in and out of the box." *player passes a check* "By pulling a string hidden in the box, the chain spins rapidly to form an electric saw."
FluffCopter (@fluffcopter.bsky.social)
A really good Caves of Qud mechanic that you can slot right into your TTRPG playgroup is examining unidentified objects. First, Describe purely what the item looks like, under the assumption that it has no practical use, just visual details. Then describe its function based on a player's die roll.

The water accumulates silica, magnesium and calium over time, making it too conductive to reuse endlessly for discharge purposes. Eventually you have to use new water
FluffCopter (@fluffcopter.bsky.social) reply parent
The bacteria isnt the problem with circulating, its the specific minerals the water is exposed to. That said, if the method is evaporative the details of discharge and recirculation don't really matter. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.
