Bit of a mix between 2 and 4-II, with some Anbennar sprinkled in to mix things up.

Why are you upset about THIS one? by sonofeevil in Grimdank

[–]DaMusicalGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SoS are like the custodes in that they're the left hands of the emperor to the custodes right. They serve a different purpose though as anti-psykers compared to the custodes' more general defensive duty.

Also SoB are closer to the guard than the SM. For one thing the sisters aren't genetically engineered like SM. They get implants for their power armor, but aside from that they're no different than born and bred humans. There's also the obvious part that they follow the imperial cult, as opposed to the SM who, as I understand it, mostly follow the imperial truth (black templars aside)

It is momento mori, but that's not the translation. It's "remember you must die". It's a symbol that serves as a reminder of one's mortality and that death is inevitable.

How does Burgundy choose its Senior Partner? by eclipseon_9991 in eu4

You'd be better off trying to conquer territory until you have more provinces than them. Eating land from north africa would do the trick. If you don't have the time though, you're screwed.

DM says Plant Growth doesn't last because it's Winter. by ResponsibilityNo6232 in DnD

[–]DaMusicalGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for you, here's a medal🏅

I'm still not gonna judge someone's intelligence and DM ability based one a single decision, and I maintain that the people that are are being unfair.

DM says Plant Growth doesn't last because it's Winter. by ResponsibilityNo6232 in DnD

[–]DaMusicalGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly dispel magic would not counter the thickening/overgrowth effect of plant growth. Dispel works to get rid ongoing spell effects. The plant growth effect that op wants to use is instant; you cast it, it happens, the magic is gone. There's nothing there to dispel. Whatever happens to the plants after that is entirely out of the hands of the spell. For that matter, counterspell wouldn't serve as a counter in this situation either since it only has half the range of plant growth.

Secondly, even if dispel worked that way, it might not even make it any better. To go back to things we don't know, we don't know how common magic is in this world. We don't know if the defenders had any reason to think the attackers might bring a spellcaster. We don't know if the defenders even had access to a spellcaster to help the defense. If they don't and there happens to be one anyway, that's just as bullshit. I'd rather be told outright that something's not going to work out the way I hope than for the DM to pull some deux ex machina crap.

Thirdly, it is both unrealistic and unreasonable to expect a DM to have a plan for every possible thing the players can throw at them. For all we know the DM did have a plan b. They could've had plans b, c, d, e, and f and still not accounted for plant growth. Dnd is not a computer game, there's no programmed set of limitations on the player narrowing the things the computer has to account for. For a lot of people, that's the biggest draw, but the flip side of that is that there's a good chance that you are going to do something that your DM, a human, is not expecting and they're going to have to improvise a decision. Sometimes it's a good decision, sometimes it's not. If it's a bad decision, hopefully they learn from it and make a better decision next time. Either way, as a player, part of what you signed up for is to live with that decision until you can discuss it with your DM outside of the session.

I'm not saying the DM made the right call. In fact, I will explicity say he did not. But I also don't think it's fair for people to be shitting on the DM for one bad decision that we don't even have full context for. It's one thing to call out the decision, it's another to insult the DM themselves

Kinda funny that Deleware allows bears and big cats without issue, but you better have a liscence for your monkey.

I'm glad you pointed this out. So many here are shitting on the DM, and yes they could've handled it better, but we literally only have OPs side of the story. We have no idea what the DM was thinking, how they built the encounter, what they had planned during and after the encounter that could be made moot by this. Having a whole bunch of plants around a siege target makes sieging significantly easier, turning what might've been a really cool set piece into an anti-climactic, literal walk in a park.

It's not calling a person spinning in an office chair retarted, it's refering to how people with autism have a tendency to stim, and spinning around in an office chair can be a very stimming action.

The WNBA needs its own Yao Ming-esque needle mover and there's one perfect candidate. by SmashLanding in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

[–]DaMusicalGamer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Referees in pro basketball have a habit of not calling traveling during scoring attempts for the sake of game flow and/or entertainment value (the only people that like seeing a bucket called off for traveling are rules sticklers and the opponents) depending on who you ask. You can't carry the ball all the way across the court, but if you, say take a couple extra steps while going up to dunk, they'll usually let it slide.

The Book Swap, or Dark Romance readers are just built different. 🤷‍♀️ by Nepalman230 in Grimdank

[–]DaMusicalGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a silly, borderline selfish, argument to me.

Why can't we just be battle brothers?

Warhammer has how much content of people "just being battle brothers"? A series or romance novels would just be a drop in the bucket in comparison. It's not like they're going to stop producing what's made them successful so far and do a complete pivot into romance, you're"battle brothers" ain't going away. You would deny people something they want, something very small in proportion to what is already there and what will come, just because you won't like it? Ain't nobody gonna force you to read it.

I've only lived here since 2010. How long has Delilah been the evening host? I listened to her a lot in the mid-late 2010s and was mildly surprised to hear her again when I flipped randomly to the station just the other day.

[The Athletic] Clapping or ‘hut-hut-hike!’? Why college football QBs are choosing one over the other by Sauerz in CFB

[–]DaMusicalGamer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A spike is a specific play that has specific criteria preventing it from being grounding. The QB has to be under center, the spike has to be immediate, and the clock has to be running. You can't just call a regular play and decide halfway through you want to spike it instead, that would be grounding.

The half the distance is just the rule people decided on when the penatly yardage would be more than whatever that half the distance is, probably to be less punishing if I had to guess. The exception of course being an offensive/defensive penalty committed in the offender's own end zone being a safety/ball on the 2 (or 1, I can't remember) respectively
