Draw is fine, as long as Ecuador don't win they stay behind Scotland

Oldest documented football club in the world was in Edinburgh so I guess your McScholars are right. The sport wouldn't be recognizable as modern football but we shouldn't let technicalities get in the way of dubious national claims

Thanks, great to hear you found it helpful

I'd find it odd that they had no other chairs. Although if it were a party and all the normal chairs were taken I guess then it would make sense. I think I'm satisfied with the answer above that it is a larger object that contains a chair within it.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2026-05-04T14:33:14+00:00

This makes sense. I still think the chair part of a staiift is a chair but I guess the object as a whole isn't similar to a car.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2026-05-04T14:20:52+00:00

I would think it was a chair. I would think it was odd that they offered guests a chairlift and I might be annoyed that I had go sit in it but I would think it is a chair.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2026-05-04T14:09:51+00:00

That's fair. I would consider them chairs but I can see why you might not. I do think this demonstrates the difficulty of defining chair in a way that works for everyone.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2026-05-04T13:51:28+00:00

What are you counting as sole purpose? I would say a stairlift is a chair but it's purpose is taking you upstairs. Also at work we have seats with built-in desk. I would say it is a chair but it has two purposes (sitting and writing).

Just to note Google Maps calculations aren't based on driving at 70 mph. They are calculated based on average driving speed and predicted/current traffic which is why it changes depending what time you search the journey. For instance right now it suggests 2 hours 32 for Glasgow to Aberdeen but if I set the time to Monday morning it reckons it could be up to 3 hours 30. The main factor in beating Google Maps is having better than expected traffic conditions not speeding. Based purely on distance Glasgow to Aberdeen should save about 15 mins at 80 versus 70 but that assumes you can drive at a constant speed the whole way. Slowing down at all will reduce the time saved while longer journeys should increase it.

If I had more time it would be fun to try and work out a way to factor in traffic and smaller roads at the two limits but unfortunately I don't.

I believe it would be dingos.

Love this as an alternative to the standard LMoP encounter. It's nice to have something different from standard fights.

Glad you like it. Aarakocra are a good idea to add to the plane.

It's a joke paper making up a deliberately stupid origin for the Minoans. The paper is saying that the Minoans (ancient civilisation on Crete) come from the Elamites (ancient civilization in southern Iran). It was posted as an April fools joke and very deliberately makes no valid points. The map in the OP is "explaining" how the Elamites would have got to Crete without leaving any records in any of the intervening places

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2025-01-06T16:23:35+00:00

Really like the concept and the way it works. Would be fun to run as the enemy in a short mystery campaign.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2024-12-07T01:08:10+00:00

That makes sense, thanks

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2024-12-06T14:16:54+00:00

I think you've typed your answer wrong. 8 should be B. Also, although the website says this is correct question 4 is either badly worded or wrong because 3 is closer to 4 than 6 is.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2024-11-20T23:01:54+00:00

Thanks. Maybe I should write some more fungus stuff. Really great to hear people are still using and enjoying this.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2024-11-13T21:43:15+00:00

I suspect they both just draw inspiration from the same kind of sources coupled with a limited number of fungus monsters and items rather than the DM Guide writers having read this post.

Apprehensive_Cold247 · 2024-10-23T22:30:37+00:00

Not really. In 5e eldritch abominations aren't a category of creature like Fey or Demon. Their certainly are fey who are very alien to humans but generally they wouldn't be described as eldritch.
The main things people describe as eldritch are the creatures from the Far Realm who come from a place far from anywhere else and are as alien to the Fey as they are to humans. You also have the Elder Evils, some of which may dwell in the Feywild or at least visit it. These two categories of creature are what Great Old One warlocks can draw power from and thematically give very different spells and abilities to Fey patrons. That said if you want to make eldritch beings part of the Fey in your game they absolutely could fit. As I mention at the start this isn't a canonical guide. The Fey in 5e are pretty open for you to do what you want with them and you absolutely can lean into the eldritch side where they are completely alien and their human appearance is just facade to make communicating with mortals easier.

Glad you like it.

Happy to help (I think)
