@Raunaqmb I would like to use this to develop a MPE/MIDI instrument similar to the Haken Continuum or Madrona Labs Soundplane. Would it be possible to use this to make a much larger sensor surface(ie. 56x14cm)? How many times per second can the sensors update?

@JuhanaMyllys More saturated has more visible contrast and separation between foreground and background.

@IAmPhophos depends on the genre/tone of the game but I'll throw out post-mortem.

If I'm going to run a game as a magician I let players know up front that I plan on lying, deceiving and cheating, but of course I won't do those things ;) I tell them that it'll seem more magical if they don't go looking for the moment when I palm the rabbit into my sleeve.

Re hp tracking in RPGs:
I think the issue is that there are two styles of GMing: the referee and the magician. These can both be fun styles of play. Magicians generally don't like showing you how their tricks work and will do their best to pretend to be referees.

kris & their they/them pronouns & complete refusal to be a self insert are the ultimate challenge to gamers by requiring them to exercise media literacy AND respect for nonbinary people at the same time

The thing about the OSR (Old School Renaissance) and FKR (Free Kriegsspiel Revolution) is that the information flow is almost entirely one-way. A very short thread considering the nature of player desire.
