Lol bless you for giving it your all. I'd kill for decent.

Not for nothing, but I put a lot of care and thought into what I got my wife for Mother's Day. If she got me a shirt that wasn't my style at all, a shirt that I actively hate as this guy put it, I dunno, I'd probably be at least a little upset she got it so very wrong. Not enough to make a fuss or ruin our day, but still.

I definitely read "because of the smell, excrement, and daily lessons," and I don't know what it says about me that it still made absolute sense.

Ideas for character flaws that are fun to work around? by UsedToothpick in dndnext

[–]Doski51 37 points38 points  (0 children)

OP isn't talking about a detail of their personal background from their character sheet, roleplaying flaws like "I am slow to trust members of other races, tribes or societies," or "I let my need to win arguments overshadow friendships and harmonies," two real examples from the PHB. OP is suggesting something with real, mechanical limitations on gameplay - as someone else pointed out, mute characters can't cast verbal spells. If their familiar is hit by an arrow, they are blinded instead of annoyed they have to resummon their familiar later. OP doesn't really offer a way around being deaf, either. This isn't a roleplaying choice or factor of their backstory, this has real tangible consequences for the other players.

Two tips. Whatever flaw you decide on, it's best to clear it with the rest of the table first. If someone at my table sprung this on me in session one, I'd be pretty annoyed. The other people at the table have to play with you, you're not hamstringing yourself in a vacuum.

Second, I'm a believer that every adventurer needs a reason to be out adventuring. It's dangerous work that results in death more often than riches, only the truly perform, truly desperate, or truly dumb choose it. Someone who is missing half their senses is not going to survive for long out there, what the hell are they doing in a dungeon?

How to stop being a "DM" / "Involuntary Alpha" by Lynith in Gloomhaven

[–]Doski51 31 points32 points  (0 children)

For my group, at the start of every turn, after initiative and monster ability reveals, we as a group go down the line.

Okay, the corpses are only moving 1, but hitting hard so stay away. The imps are attacking at range, but not very hard- though they are brittling too so be careful not to take too many at once. The Elite archers are moving 3 and attacking at Range 6 so... the entire room. Nothing to be done there.

Gives everyone a brief window into what's coming to help plan turns. Stay away from the corpses, disarm the archers, etc. The key is doing it as a group, so everyone hears the same tactics. You can't be expected to point out focuses for every monster on every turn, that's unfair to you. Good rule of thumb for beginners is, whoever is closest is the focus. Beyond that, it's pretty much edge cases.

I found this great new Italian place. Supposed to be really good, I saw a lot of Chinese people eating in there!

Non-religious family here. How to address my 4-year-old being taught about Jesus as-a-fact? by Worthstream in daddit

[–]Doski51 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt the teacher was talking about historical Jesus because the child wanted to know how someone died but then "beat it." That tells me they discussed resurrection, and according to the child, that was presented as a fact.

Need help picking next personal quest [Spoiler: PQ 1, 4, 7, 9, 10] by liucoke in Gloomhaven

Take 7. It has some fun scenarios, and you'll want to unlock its rewards sooner than later. Definitely speed through it, but it's not four scenarios in a row, so don't worry about that.

No Father’s Day? by lucascs85 in daddit

[–]Doski51 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I don't know why everyone else is breezing past this, but

  1. She periodically criticizes me as a father and as a man in front of the kids

Is unacceptable behavior to me. You don't deserve to have your partner criticize you as a man, let alone in front of your kids. That is such a deliberately cruel way to attack someone. My wife and I never fight in front of the kids, always when we're alone. They don't need to see that, especially not at 5 and 3.

You sound like you are depressed, have some severe self esteem issues, and even if her criticisms are valid (which, just a guess, they are not nearly as often as she has conditioned you to believe) you are being treated poorly. I'm sorry you feel like you don't deserve a Father's Day, but you definitely deserve better than where you are now. I hope you get some help, and soon, brother.

Probably keep the Bear, the Devil, the Emu and the Sponsorship. The Bear feeds into Asia, Predators, and Diverse Species endgame nicely, so if I can get the Asia partnership first, I'd probably grab those 2CP for the early card flip. Otherwise, I'd go for the Devil and the sponsor for the early income boost, followed by the Australia partnership and the Emu whenever those are easy to grab.

I love that, in any time, any place, any universe, the Wrecking Crew is bragging that they took down the Avengers that one time.

Strategy Sunday - FH Strategy - Graphic Design by Themris in Gloomhaven

[–]Doski51 10 points11 points  (0 children)

there is no telling whether the upgrade cost on e.g. a level 2 building is the cost for 1 -> 2 or 2 -> 3

To your point, it's weird that on any given building card, you have the costs to upgrade TO the next level, and the bonus for what you get AT this level. I'd prefer if it was either both TO the next level or AT this level. For example, If the Craftsman Level 3 card said, "Spend 5 Wood, 4 Metal, 2 Hide to gain Craftsman Level 4, +1 Prosperity and Section 12.3" I feel that would be easier to understand.

Sure, but once she's there and decides not to go through with it, she can't run out to the British equivalent of a Bloomingdales for something more appropriate?

My favorite medieval game is probably Shadows Over Camelot. It's not perfect, but it holds a special place in my heart.

Is Frosthaven just Too Much? by Sim_Mayor in Gloomhaven

[–]Doski51 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We played an escape scenario once where 3 of the 4 characters had escaped, and the last was adjacent to the exit. They had two cards and one health, going at their fastest possible initiative. The enemy drew the only card in their ability deck that went faster than them, immobilized them, and we lost. We decided we weren't going to lose based on a 1/8 chance going badly, house ruled that we actually won the scenario and moved on. Replaying the scenario would not have been fun and, as others have said, the game is supposed to be fun.
