I have never been Catholic and have deconstructed but I still wouldn't tell the Pope to shut the fuck up...

I just think a system where you could plug in various one shots but has a hook that would keep players interested might get some traction. I have about zero reach on here but if you happen to see this, feel free to let me know if it's at least interesting.

I'd like to figure out if there's anyone else out there interested in something like this. It's still in the idea phase but I do have all the tools necessary to build it out. I'd have to learn Foundy more than I already know but I'm willing to do that.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 02/10/2026

I'm thinking of building this out in FoundryVTT as a PF2E module that you could plug in your own one shots into or buy cheap packs of one shots that I'd produce. This would be a labor of love since I refuse to use AI for this but before I sink my time into this

There is some permanence though. Running quests for the adventurers hall grants scrip that can be used to upgrade lodgings in way that give the PC buffs. You buy a better bed with scrip and you're more rested, you get a small circumstance bonus to healing and so on.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 02/10/2026

There isn't an overarching plot for the PCs to chase down but it does advance in levels, money, equipment, and so on. If a player doesn't show and you drag this out their PC in this world is assumed to be on a quest with another group so we advancement happens for them too.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 02/10/2026

The idea is an adventurers hall concept where the PCs live at the hall and earn their keep taking missions from a mission board. It's designed around one shot adventurers but for a sort of static group (the group that has a player that didn't show up) so the PCs remain the same every time.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 02/10/2026

I have this idea for a weeks when not everyone shows up or for a rotating group. It's sort of troupe play but has some underlying mechanics. I'm working on it for my groups because I'm in two games which are both every other week so someone not showing means not playing for a month with that group.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 02/10/2026

I want to talk about a TTRPG idea for a minute but before I get into it let me state that for the purposes of this idea I am a PF2E remaster guy and am not really interested in building this for another system or using another system instead.

I am absolutely a full time Linux user, I make my living from it, I run it everywhere. I don't care if you do or don't. I have my reasons and you have yours. But always remember: every OS sucks.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 02/10/2026

This is why my pinned post is what it is. This is why I don't criticize people for picking any OS. TikTok is currently full of people whinging about Windows or Linux and they're all, mostly, confidently wrong. It's here too, to be fair.

I'm just guessing, but is there an allowed origin set because if there is and it's the IP then FQDN might not work but and you'd need to add both as an allowed origin. Been bitten by that before BUT I know nothing about SonicWall so I'm just spitballing.

Furthermore, and as others have pointed out, it would absolutely be a gift to Trump or anyone like him who got into office. Giving government more control or the media or the content on private websites would be disastrous.

010

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 30/09/2026

Any attempt to make private actors that aren't broadcast and aren't even governed by the FC comply with, even then, would have been struck down by a unanimous SCOTUS and would be now. What you want definitely infringes on 1A.

Right wing hate radio was already rampant in the age of the fairness doctrine and the stations simply aired a public interest program at 5:30 on Sunday mornings and never thought about it outside of that.

120

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 30/09/2026

The FD was only ever allowed because of the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum and only applied to stations and not programs. If we pretend YouTub is akin to a radio or television station then they're already in compliance as they host a variety of views.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 30/09/2026

This is hitting them hard because it doesn't even look like the same place anymore.

All of ours are broken. The kids still remember the first neighbor that lived there. An older gentleman who paid them to collect golf balls they were already collecting (they end up outside the driving range next to the field). He was kind and took care of the house well.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 30/09/2026

There were three trees in the front and another in the backyard. Old trees, I'd guess by the stump you can see that they were over 80 years old and entirely healthy. It's so gross.

110

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 30/09/2026

This is going to wildly increase the cooling cost and I'm unsure the HOA approved it to begin with and if they didn't that's going to be a world of shit for them. I already don't like them but this was too much. I'm dumbfounded by this

110

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 30/09/2026

This is my neighbor across the street who just had 4 healthy trees removed (you can only see two stumps here I think) because they are living in the house to flip it think that it'll improve the value. You can see the gorgeous trees up and down the street at the other houses.

A picture of a house with the remains of what used to be three beautiful trees, that were healthy and didn't need to be removed, stacked in the yard.

The FCC can still pull a broadcast license just not for not having a public interest program at 5:30 Sunday morning.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

will go farther to correct the decades of bullshit than anything like the FD did even when it could be enforced. The Telecommutions Act of 1996 did more to harm the US media than the removal of the FD.

100

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

The FD had very little teeth and compliance was a simple as I stated. The real issue with media today is not the absence of the FD which was a carve out to 1A based on limited spectrum. It is repealing the Telecommutions Act of 1996. Breaking up the consolidation of media

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Another hateful right wing program fell afoul of the person attack rule in the FD but continued after the station was fined. Note that it was the station on both cases and not the hateful assholes involved.

100

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

The guy running it owned a radio station and refused to comply with the FD. He lost the license for that radio station. The other 600 that program in syndication did not and they complied the same way all other stations did as I pointed out earlier.

100

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

And compliance was a short public interest program at 5:30 on a Sunday morning. It didn't require equal time, or even opposing viewpoints. The most hateful syndicated program during the FD was worse than Rush

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Write such a law in a way that Trump couldn't abuse it. And it's not 1A or not, it is 1A period. It would be struck down by a unanimous SCOTUS. There has never been and never will be the checkpoint you want.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Nice straw man and with that I'm out because you obviously don't want to have a good faith discussion.

It's still on Clinton for signing it. He could have forced a veto override and did not. At that point he's as culpable as the Congress that sent it to his desk.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Also tie in the gutting of public education and the downfall of civics curriculum leading to people not understanding how the government works from the get go. Allowing these hatemongers to spread their drivel to a populous unprepared with no knowledge to refute them.

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

It took decades to get to where we are and there isn't a silver bullet that will fix it. It will take a lot of work and long time and that most begins with repealing that 1996 act.

100

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

The Telecommutions Act of 1996, thanks to Clinton has done way more damage to our media than repealing the FD. People just like using Reagan as a Boogeyman when that particular thing has very little to do with the state of media today.

Helping my son move today by being the emotional support father figure as I can't do stairs at the moment while carrying things. Technically I can do down but 3 or trips would prevent me from getting back up them.

What is the legal test for said exception to 1A?

010

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Maybe you're not an FE Stan but your suggestion would still suffer the fate I described. It has no place in the US as long as 1A exists and a SCOTUS incarnation has never existed that would let it stand. I'll retract the "FD stand" bit but you didn't address what I said, as usual with your ilk.

110

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

And any attempts to do so would struck down by a unanimous SCOTUS and if they were in place would be being used Trump in ways that would horrify you. You FD stans never think about that part.

110

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

There is no such exception to 1A aside from true threats which absolutely nothing Fox News does even comes close to touching.

100

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

And immediately violate 1A and be benchslapped by a unanimous SCOTUS.

010

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Absolutely incorrect. Fox News always has been cable the the FD never applied to cable and couldn't without violating 1A. This is an attractive fantasy but a fantasy nonetheless.

110

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Expanding it would violate 1A. It was only ever allowed because of the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum. The FCC doesn't regulate cable and never has. And you couldn't write it in such a way Trump would using is against what's left of real media like a sledgehammer.

110

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Completely incorrect. The repeal of the FD had nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh. The right wing dreck was already syndicated heavily and had been since the 60s. All stations had to do was have a public interest program at 4:30 Sunday morning and they were in compliance.

000

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

The FD didn't do that at all and it has nothing to do with the rise of Fox News which has always been a cable channel and to which the FD never applied. Lies have always been allowed and the remedy has always been defamation laws which are a strict carve out from 1A.

000

Wintermute @romeosidvicious.willkill.us · 29/09/2026

Nope. They cannot and any attempts to make it so would violate 1A and you don't want that changed. If it existed Trump would be weilding it like a zweihander right now.
