Yeah, I guess I was just completely disconnected on the real hazard of depressurization. It’s not just about holding your breath.

The worst part is that I have read about this stuff in several contexts. Maybe it’s just that it’s not a common part of my life.

Thanks for the link. I’d forgotten about this. Of course, I’ve only read it phrased in the scenarios where scuba divers resurface too fast.

I guess my proposed solution only works within a pressurized environment.

You can’t? Huh. I’ve got some reading to do.

Edit: there’s another comment with a relevant link. The problem seems to be the pressure difference, regardless of your previous actions.

Thanks for the reminder. I still remember people talking about the “realistic” scene in Titan AE, where the protagonist expels the air from his lungs before venturing into space.

Anyway, maybe I can fix it and say that you can take a few short breaths to oxygenate and then let go.

Same thing happened to me when I discovered it.

You probably figured it out already, but in case you didn’t: the video I posted before is part of a playlist, and it’s an excellent way to get acquainted with the game.

And thus… the existance of this community is now officially worthwhile. ;)

BTW, There’s also a Traveller-specific community: (!Traveller@ttrpg.network)

Traveller is one of the oldest RPGs out there. And here’s just the video that explains how to use it:

Yeah. Very well summarized.

Perhaps I’d also add that the advancement is earned with blood and sweat. 😅

I suppose YMMV, but to me it’s central. You see, the Hunter becomes a hunter because she heard a higher calling, and believing in it is what keeps it going.

You can rename Conviction to Faith, and it probably shows what I’m hinting at. That faith can get you out of trouble (supernaturally so) but it’s also precious. You’re still human, flimsy and prone to errors, susceptible to doubt.

And you’re way out of your league. All the time.

In oWoD’s Hunter: The Reckoning, you can’t advance your Edges (supernatural abilities) with XP.

To do so, you have to gamble Conviction during the session, while using said Edges (those Conviction points gambled add dice to your pool, ideally improving your odds).

If you succeed at the task, you gain Virtues (with which you can later buy points in Edges).

if you fail the task, you lose Conviction points. If you run out of Conviction, you lose your ability to use Edges at all until you rest/meditate/recover for a full week.

Not sure if it qualifies as “conceptual” or non-mechanical to you. But I love it.

I sort of became lost with Stellagama’s offerings after the Cepheus family. 😅

Anyway, Quantum does ring a bell, but Quantum Dark didn’t.

Edit: turns out I do own the base Quantum PDF. That’s why it rung a bell, I guess.

Hadn’t heard of this one.

Oooh. TIL.

Ah, I assume you missed it. Last month’s Humble Bundle did include Cyberpunk Red.

It was kinda pricey, though.

Cool. Hadn’t even heard of that one.

Gave it a quick glance… apparently it doesn’t “break character” absolutely anywhere.

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:

Edit (May 2nd) - Traveller5 bundle includes: Traveller5 Core Rules 3-Book Set, T5 Starships & Spacecraft deck plans, and T5 Gazelle-Class Close Escorts

Well it’s fixed now… so I didn’t even get to clear cache and retry. But I did try opening on another browser (before writing my comment above) with similar results.

I want to be able to report a bug to the developers, but I have no idea what to tell them that might be useful. I guess I can dive into their issues tracker and take it from there.

Uhm… something’s off again on my side.

Are there specific symptoms I should be looking into?

There’s also !scifi@ttrpg.network which should have some overlap with cyberpunk.
