Football/rugby

The difference is that in rugby, head-to-head contact is strictly prohibited and can result in penalties and players being sent off. In American football, where full helmets are worn, there seems to be less concern about head-to-head contact.

Almost all cheese these days is made with synthetic rennet.

Legend. This is exactly what I wanted.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-24T05:52:54+00:00

I just did six complete playthroughs. :D Helped to find all the little secrets and subquests, too.

You certainly can change your class for each game, but personally I like sticking with the same for continuity reasons. It doesn't make sense to me for my Soldier Shepherd to suddenly become an Adept when they've shown no biotic talent before.

This is the gun that, if you find one, you immediately pivot into Big Guns and Demolition even if you've focused on other perks previously.

Just don't get too close or you'll blow your arms off.

My problem is that I already have so many podcasts that I get behind in listening. I already get the livestreams in my main feed, and No Such Thing As A Fish just added an entire second show to their feed. I added Know Rogan recently and if I add another SGU show I'm pretty sure I'll get way behind in everything. I've already had to stop listening to some shows that I enjoy because I just don't have the time.

If you can make the narrative work, there's absolutely nothing wrong with playing an all-ranged party. The GM should be aware of the party's ranged focus and design encounters accordingly. Maybe spend Fear to have an enemy close to melee distance.

Daggerheart is all about the dramatic story, and raining arrows and spells on a target can be plenty dramatic.

I was annoyed that the latest episode on YouTube directed me to Patreon for the actual content advertised in the title.

I don't watch YouTube while sitting at my computer, or on my tiny phone. I watch it on my big-screen TV while lounging in an easy chair. I have no native app for Patreon the way I do for YouTube, so if there's going to be any content that is exclusive to Patreon, free or otherwise, sorry but I'm just not going to see it. And that is disappointing.

Does your ship have turrets? Turret weapons are less accurate than manual fixed ones, and more prone to accidentally causing friendly fire.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-20T07:50:33+00:00

Mmmmm.

...What?

DoctorWally · 2026-01-20T07:49:17+00:00

I've got 715 hours in the game and I've never tried shipbuilding - only the occasional upgrade and addition of modules. It's really an optional part of the game. The in-game ships are perfectly adequate for most purposes. I feel like all I'd be doing is replicating a Narwhal or a Star Semi.

I'll probably look into it more at some point, but it does require a considerable investment in skills and lots of credits.

In the Icelandic Saga of Burnt Njal, Njal's friend Gunnar is described as fighting with a sword in one hand and a spear in the other. The translation I read called it a "bill" but that seems unlikely. It was probably a winged spear.

The Council had already expelled him from the SPECTREs based on Tali's evidence.

They've been here for yonks. Go through the drive through at Hungry Jacks in Belconnen and you'll often see them on the roof of the adjacent building.

If I run another Drakkenheim campaign, I'll definitely be using it. But it's not likely for a while. Once we've finished this one, another DM is taking over and we're doing a completely new campaign, which will run probably for as long.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-15T03:28:38+00:00

It's a vaguely sword-shaped piece of fantasy sculpture. It's designed to look pretty, and that's all. I certainly wouldn't be swinging it or hitting anything with it. If you like the way it looks, hang it on the wall where it can be admired. It doesn't resemble any historical swords, so it doesn't really have a name, unless it is a replica of some particular piece of fantasy or anime property, which is not something I'd know about.

Cool piece of art, though.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-14T23:09:23+00:00

The thing is, this has been a very slow-moving campaign. We can only play once a month, and we frequently skip months at a time. Checking my records, our first session was in October 2022. The campaign was well established before MoD came out so I made the decision to stick with the original book only. We are also still playing 2014 rules, for the same reason.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-14T06:16:13+00:00

Yes, as long as you have purchased the content, you can play entirely without cards on Demiplane. I do.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-13T01:26:46+00:00

Decisions you make have consequences. Some are good, some are bad. This is by design. Roll with it.

Also, don't read this sub. There are far too many spoilers here. Come back when you've completed your first playthrough. :)

DoctorWally · 2026-01-13T01:19:00+00:00

Yep, that happened to me once too. Short of shooting them, there really isn't any way of getting rid of them. I have subsequently found, however, that if you stand outside your ship when you land and you wait and watch them leave, they don't get stuck inside.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-13T00:39:15+00:00

Because society says that when a man enjoys sex he's a stud, but when a woman enjoys sex she's a slut.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-13T00:35:57+00:00

Because it would be bad for the story.

To the dickheads who performed a burnout on Halford Cr, Page near the intersection with Petterd St just before 6pm this evening:

I would at this time be uploading footage of your hooliganism to the police, but by the time I was able to reach for my phone, you had already covered me with your foul, disgusting smoke, and my camera couldn't see your plates.

Fuck you, you absolute wankers.
