I missed it. Did they retcon, wipe, or explain away Cybergenerations, or whatever the fuck that god-awful nanoplague book was called?
Sounds like Militech testing a new weapon to me. When it didn't have the effects they wanted they hit the kill switch on the nanites.
Honestly the lessened lethality is why I didn't pick up Red. Part of the fun of 2020 is that a lucky shot can end a fight instantly. Sure this guy has insane armor, amazing skills, and has backup on the way but our Techie just accidentally brained him with a desperate shot.
You can buy transfer sheets for printers.
I'd recommend trying to introduce them to games with actual choice and RNG. I don't know, maybe something like The Game of Life. It's basically braindead, but it's gives them a taste of something a bit more complex than just "read from a card, check if answer is correct". If you manage to hook them, then you can start suggesting slightly more complex games.
Yes... yeeesss... and then slowly lure them ever deeper into the world of tabletop games.
I generally rely on my memory for most games I'm running. Always have a map to plan around and use as a reference point during your game. As long as you can keep the details in your head you should be fine. If that's just memorization, having notes, or any other method find what works for you.
Yeah that's generally what I've got. I've been typing ideas and hooks and characters into Joplin, I've got maps, brainstorming notes, etc. I just feel like I'm always forgetting something or doing it "wrong".
Always have some crib notes for things like monsters/opposition, statblocks and the like. It's one thing to have to pause to check an obscure rule, but it's no fun if you have to keep pausing every third round in combat to reference a book or two.
As long as the game goes forward and the players are having fun everything is fine. Try not to worry about it because its just a game you're supposed to have fun too.
