Lets be real here, Mutiny is like a 200-level course at the Academy

My current game might be helpful, but it will require a little context to explain and work to adapt to your purposes.

All my games take place in the same world. The last game was a pirate campaign, and, by the end, the players were legendary pirate kings (queens, nonbinary monarchs) that ruled the seas.

That leads to the setup for my current game: Sea travel is impractical and dangerous. A land route to totally-not-asia would be great, but none is currently known, due to a thought-to-be-impassible mountain range between there and here. The Explorers Guild is offering bounties on both a pass through the mountains and a viable charted land route to totally-not-asia. The players (and their rivals!) take a dangerous sailing journey around the mountains, to explore the jungle on the back side of the range and try to find a pass from that angle.

EDIT: They’re incentivized to work with the locals, because pissing them off would make a potential trade route dangerous and therefore worthless.

“Matrix” is a pretty difficult-to-search name. What is it? Federated IRC?

There are some formats where inventory management becomes interesting again. We tried doing a Hexcrawl earlier this year and there was a lot of interesting gameplay to be had in the risk/reward management of how many supplies they wanted to carry vs how much they wanted to invest in pack animals, limiting their ability to carry loot back, carrying this vs that, guessing how much they’ll use before they can resupply or where future resupplies might be, gambling on whether to press forward and risk running out or turn back, that kind of thing. It’s just the more currently popular adventure structures right now (eg linear or branching narratives) where inventory tracking is superfluous.

You can always just have a penalty to will saves.

Pretty normal for us over here

I used to only have one (seemingly) female friend, and then that friend transitioned, and I started to worry what it said about me that I only had male friends. Fortunately, a year or two later most of my other friends transitioned in the other direction and balance was restored.

Had to invoke our Data Transmission policy’s AI clause for the first time

Understandably so, because some vulcans also lie constantly and claim they don’t experience those emotions.

Do you? You’re just casting a spell like magic missile or anything else. Perhaps the credulous fools that wrote it thought it consumed souls, but you don’t care about their ignorant opinions.

Atheist lich that wants to live forever because he doesn’t believe in an afterlife and isn’t bothered by eating souls because he doesn’t believe they exist.

Disgusting. Content like this should be banned from the internet!

The demon in question of course being the overwhelming and all-consuming desire to smooch a buff lizard man.

DMing you

And free speech was never absolute. Forget yelling fire in a crowded etc, no sane person thinks that you should be allowed to commit fraud, for example.

The answer to #4 is “Well then you don’t have to have any” and tbh #3 sounds like a self-fixing problem and the solution to all 4.

Well, no, not really. If I forget a password I’ve only lost access to the one site, and it’s recoverable. Just an partial failure. Not going to lose everything unless I literally die in which case I don’t care about anything anymore. And no one is going to breach my brain short of tying me to a chair, and that’s not really my threat model.

Not recommended. People can and do crib the kinds of things you’re likely to have around you. It can narrow the field of guesses more than you’d think.

Well, no one else comments in these threads, might as well.

I guess what I mean is, it’s a single point of failure. Usually an extremely strong one, granted.
