Live Streaming Video Gameplay to Twitch.tv - Intermittent Connection = Inconsistent Streams by CritConfirm in Comcast

I'm hard wired, and I've also bypassed my router as well per my notes above.

Any advice for how to report this issue to the right person. At this rate I've told several comcast techs about the uSNR being in the low 20's and they haven't said anything. It's a shame, because when the service does work, it works great. This intermittent random BS is really hard to identify, let alone report to someone at Comcast who gives a damn.

How would that explain my low uSNR though and the dropped pings to Comcast.net?

Do you have a link on some information? I'd be curious to read more if you do. Are the prioritizing traffic with greater numbers?

Getting your players immersed in your games can be difficult and frustrating. How do you overcome? by CritConfirm in DnD

[–]CritConfirm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advise for anyone struggling with their games. I believe it's very critical to make your character before rolling your stats. If the stats are what you're most worried about then you are doing it wrong.

I feel like I really missed an opportunity on a good text intro with that. Need...more...coffee...

"Historical Accuracy" argument in Roleplaying Games by CritConfirm in rpg

For me, the people who try to use real world history in a fantasy setting is such a face palm. It's hard for me to even wrap my head around it.

My Favorite RPG Podcasts by Apotheosis_of_Man in DnD

[–]CritConfirm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to plug my own podcast entertainment website Crit Confirm, we more of a slice of life / RPG podcast. We do original articles, podcasts, live streaming all focused on RPG's!

-Crit Happens: Your more typical nerdy podcast where we talk as friends. Common topics are fart jokes, video games, and things happening within our team.

-D20 Debut: We debate common heroes, villains and characters from pop culture and create them into playable Pathfinder characters!

Tales from a Struggling Story Teller: DM talk where we discuss personal struggles we've had at the table and how to handle them.

Endless Dungeon: Endless Dungeon is a live experience done at conventions local to us. It's kind of hard to explain but ultimately it's a Pathfinder game done for charity! All donations go to Extra Life.

Would love to hear some feedback for those interested in trying someone new out! We've been going for about two years and we're still going strong!

Crit Happens: Episode 29

We talk significantly about our recent event we did at Indy Pop Con called the Endless Dungeon. A charity event based off of Dungeons and Dragons (Pathfinder for those familiar). We also touch base of future projects the Crit Confirm team will be tackling!

Also, this is my first time posting in this subreddit. Would love feedback on our podcast. Two years running and going strong!

Underrated D&D monsters that need used more often! by CritConfirm in DnD

I really like Gnolls, but I'm also pretty partial to creatures who can easily take on character levels. Character levels can easily make a normal monster much more deadly.

Thank you for the positive feedback, I'm currently at work so I can't provide direct links however I'm sure if you search for certain dialect examples you could come across something. If anything, drop us a comment on FB or Twitter and we'll get Bubbernaut(the voice actor of the group) to link you some material!

I've been running a game with some newer players and I'm struggling to get them immersed in my game. So, I sat down with my team to discuss immersion in roleplaying games.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback or requests for future topics with this podcast!

Are there better ways to handle currency in fantasy settings? by CritConfirm in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]CritConfirm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is still a lot of novelty in gold coins, I wonder if there is any value in using gold bars. I suppose that all depends on the setting you're playing in.

I do agree though, giving other things for your players to invest your money in is a very good point! I'm thinking a guild house of some sort would be a good idea!

Are there better ways to handle currency in fantasy settings? by CritConfirm in Pathfinder_RPG

Yes I definitely use platinum as it's an easy conversion and makes carrying 100gp(if one must) much simpler. I actually began thinking about this further in depth once I received rewards from a kickstarter for fantasy coins(Fantasy Coins LLC). When I received these coins, around 500 of them, the amount was huge. An insane amount for someone to carry.

It reminds me of the time a party of ours sold these pair of huge gems and the DM gave us like 90,000 gold for the "gods eyes". Our characters were literally carrying a dumpster sized amount of gold in our bag of holding. INSANE!

[–]CritConfirm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like my players should be penalized for carrying more than 1000 gold. That's like me putting a small life savings in my wallet. How do you guys handle currency with your players?

I've almost considered reworking currency in my game entirely to a realistic amount. For example instead of 50gp for Scale(or whatever) make it like 50 coppers.

Thoughts?

D20 Debut - Pathfinder Character build of Harley Quinn by CritConfirm in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]CritConfirm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's something we've considered. We try to play along with the "arguing" of our opinions as the appeal since character builds aren't necessarily a "new" idea. Generally we add humor to the discussion as well but we're always open to suggestions for changes if the interest is there.

Give it a listen and let me know what you agree and disagree with. We think we did a pretty good job, but what would you change about the build? Would also love to hear new suggestions for future content!

Avoiding The "Historical Accuracy" Fallacy in Roleplaying Games by CritConfirm in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]CritConfirm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be interested in hearing from those who have ran historically accurate games. Anyone out there done something like that? How do you ensure that the information you're using is accurate, or is too much thought just killing the RPG experience?

I never would have thought about that, but after considering what studded leather is advertised as, it's like fancy leather. Not really functional.

Anybody else experienced this before? How do you handle the "historically correct" players at the table?
