#Timeframe

Heartbeat Scale

Blades in the Dark has something very valuable that many TTRPGs lack; the ability to hop, skip, and step over time parameters quite easily.

It's perfectly common for you to roll to Survey a dock for traffic over a a month or two. Similarly, you may need someone's name... and to get it, one of your crew might spend several weeks Consorting to find it.

Maybe in the downtime after a big score, your crew spends months consolidating their hold while the thugs you transgressed make progress in their revenge.

I call this the Narrative Scale.

Classically, you may take a single Prowl to not just climb one wall, but this wall, cross the court yard quietly, and slip a foot between the servants door and its frame, to keep it from locking, and quietly step inside. That may take any number of seconds or minutes.

Let's call this the Action scale.

That 'scale' tends to zoom out more than it zooms in, in my experience.

But in some instances, it is neither months nor minutes but seconds, and fractions of a second, that we want to dwell in.

Sitting at a felted table, your character clocks the quiet click of a pistol. Your compatriot tries to flick you a card from his hip and you have to catch it, without anyone noticing. You can hear your breath catching and what you do in the next half a second will determine whether you live or die.

I like to call this the Heartbeat scale.

It's the kind of timeframe where time slows down as adrenaline aggressively pours through your veins and arteries. It's the kind of timeframe where it feels like the volume of what's happening is turned down... until you can hear your own, throbbing heartbeat.

It's the very moment that matters most.

Afterwards, maybe when the jig was up, the Head smuggler let the mask drop that they knew who you are all along, where they were never really going to let you leave. It's in that moment that you kicked the table, snapped a wrist and ran.

It's back to the action scale as you slide down bannisters, and crash over carts and tables to get out as fast as you can.

And it's back to the Narrative scale when you are back in your hideout and know that they are looking for you and it won't be too long before they find you.

Scaling in and scaling out helps add a tempo and contextualise the narrative arc of a score and its surrounds in a way that can feel quite visceral and taut and bitter.

The timeline of biological evolution is crazy to my mind. The numbers for just developing an adaptation are so staggering that I can’t even fathom the depth of time a branching out species could take. All the while still living day by day like we do.

Starting new journey to live music promotion funding

Recently, I got approached by a company called UK Startup. We set a date for a call-back in 2 weeks time after they chased me by email then phone over the summer. I get wary when the other contents of my life are disregarded by any new interloper. Following our call, Sophie Blair sent me an email outlining the process. Essentially, they attribute support, provide a platform to build a business…

你的明星梦，我的作家老师梦。

比起你的梦：光鲜，靓丽，钱财，社会地位，可以几个月内拔地而起。 而我的梦：多年的知识积累，智慧，技能的累积，可能就只是出个书，没什么一夜的暴富几率。比起做生意，当个作家，老师，还要以身作则，频频教诲，孜孜不倦，十年树木，百年树人。简练的想法，简练的言辞，可以轻而易举的被认为太简单了，我也能想得到。重点在于，第一个想到的就是研发，而后起的可能就模仿。 对于支持的尊重和保护，中西有着本质的差别，一个有研发技能的工程师的待遇，在西方国家就是高级重点重金属，而在亚洲，待遇截然不同。 大家可能觉得偶然，纯是运气之来。偶然在某个时间段，时间点上就很有可能是必然。 我们对于时间空间转换不同世界，不同历史都有很多电影想象。 而我的观点是，偶然很可能就是必然，在那个特定的时间点，事情发生点，人物，地点，特定环境下，所有的参数全部加起来集中的一点历史，就可以推断必然是概率是极大的。 希望所有有知…

Prepositions -"For", "During", "In", and "Within" to compare

Prepositions “For”, “During”, “In”, “Within”

To compare

Here are comparisons of the prepositions For, During, In, and Within with examples:  

For:

Meaning: For is used to indicate a purpose, reason, or duration of time.   Examples: I bought flowers for my mother's birthday.   We studied for hours to prepare for the exam.   She is going to Paris for a vacation.           During: Meaning: During is used to specify when something happens within a particular time frame.   Examples: It rained heavily during the night.   I fell asleep during the movie.   She received a phone call during the meeting.             In: Meaning: In is a versatile preposition that can be used to indicate location, time, inclusion, and more.   Examples: The cat is in the box (location).   We will meet in 30 minutes (time).   There is a lot of talent in the team (inclusion).             Within: Meaning: Within refers to something happening inside or not exceeding a certain period of time.   Examples: Please complete the task within the next hour.   The answer lies within the book.   She found her keys within her bag.       In summary, these prepositions have distinct meanings and usage:   For typically relates to purpose, reason, or duration.   During is used to specify when something happens within a given time frame.   In is versatile and can denote location, time, inclusion, and more.   Within indicates something happening inside or not exceeding a certain time frame or limit.                   Prepositions -“For”, “During”, “In”, and “Within” to compare Preposition – “Within” Prepositions “With” and “By” to compare Preposition – “Towards” Prepositions – “Till” and “Until” Preposition – “Since” Preposition – “Out of” Read the full article

op. i'm so sorry op. gourdy isn't real you have to let her go. they had a whole trial about it.

🔐 wrightorwrong Follow

hi!! so this isn't actually the case as while gourdy was briefly mentioned in a trial, said trial had nothing to do with whether or not gourdy was "real" per se as much as. well. murder, actually. while gourdy WAS found out to be an inflatable steel samurai this was not brought up in the case at all as the veracity of gourdy wasn't really as relevant as the fact that the witness was looking for gourdy rather than at the murder she claimed to have seen. plus this was also a relatively small part of a MUCH larger trial which for those interested not only solved the dl-6 case but ALSO marked the end of prosecutor von karma's ~40 year long record and the court records are really a fascinating read through!!
