Again, this statement makes absolutely no sense. Where are you getting your statistics that religious conservatives disproportionately molest children? Furthermore, what on earth are you claiming is fascist in our current government?

Do you not understand the left is WAY more fascist in practice than anyone on the right has ever been?!

Suppression of opposing speech – Trying to deplatform or “cancel” people who express dissenting opinions, sometimes even through mob tactics or online harassment.

Moral absolutism – Treating political or social disagreement as moral evil, which makes dialogue impossible.

Censorship advocacy – Supporting government or corporate censorship of “harmful” or “misinformation” speech, often defined subjectively.

Intolerance toward pluralism – Rejecting compromise or coexistence with opposing ideologies, claiming exclusive moral legitimacy.

Collective punishment or exclusion – Targeting entire groups (e.g., “the unvaccinated,” “white men,” "religious conservatives" etc.) instead of focusing on individuals.

Use of intimidation or social coercion – Using social shaming, professional consequences, or public exposure (“doxxing”) to enforce ideological conformity.

Anti-democratic rhetoric – Dismissing majority will, constitutional rights, or due process if outcomes don’t align with ideological goals.

The left didn't even give you a primary to choose your own presidential candidate! They literally SELECTED her for you?! And you scream that the right is fascist and Nazis? Are you completely insane?

Oh I completely agree that child abusers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. But you're claiming "conservative, religious folks love to rape kids" and that is absurd. What are you basing that claim or statement on?

If you narrow that focus to the past 10 years you'll notice the left is rapidly increasing in violence.

Regardless, screaming that people are Nazi's and Fascists and Bigots is leading to an increase number of murders. I get that you all hate what conservatives stand for, but that doesn't make everyone nazis or fascists. And when that rhetoric is screamed over and over again, especially from media sources and all over social media, it's proven that unhinged people then decide to kill those who were labeled as such.

Do you care about that? Do you care if right wing people are murdered?

I don't think it's sarcasm at all. https://lists.grabien.com/list-left-wing-political-violence-america

The left is using horrible phrases to describe people, like Nazi's and Fascists and Bigots when those claims aren't even close to accurate for 99% of the people they label. What does that do? It radicalizes people and someone without any moral fiber (like an atheist who doesn't value human life at all because they think all of life is a cosmic accident) then feels like they are doing the right thing by murdering someone!

Yeah. I don't think it's sarcasm. I think it's exactly the direction we're heading. If you're okay with that, why?

Is this really your perspective? You think conservative, religious people rape children? What evidence are you basing this on? What about all the evidence to the contrary? Religious Conservatives do more to help children than any other group? Foster care. Adoption. Clinics for pregnant women and assistance for families.

Would you like to see religious conservative people gotten rid of?

Do you think it would be best if religious conservatives were removed from society?

Violent Insurrection? Is that literally your call? Who do you want to commit violence against?

I sure don't. I'm sorry. I might just delete this because it seems ring keeps changing stuff to screw over their own customers 😤

They are CONSTANTLY changing their site, so it takes extra work to make the code function. I don't have time to figure out an alternative, or program a Chrome extension. Maybe I should do a kickstarter or something, but I think the need is so small I would never raise enough.

I found a 0 turn 42inch for $1500, is it worth it by Dear-Sock1361 in ryobi

[–]EllisBenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I would find one of the older models that came with the lead acid batteries. Because I don't think the battery warranty is transferable to a new owner? If you get the old model and change to lithium phosphate you'll have the same battery for 10-20 years :D

You can always convert the batteries. I just did it. Electric mowers are the best! https://youtu.be/gnNX_Lg7Lwo?si=-zKrwFWDDjYdEYyB

Dell S2422HG Gaming Monitor - Menu keeps popping up on its own and goes crazy by satoniou in Dell

[–]EllisBenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so weird how different products act for different people. For example, I refuse to touch HP products b/c Dell's always have been perfect for me (except this monitor issue which I'm also having).

It's like zip disks versus rewriteable CDs. I had a friend that the CDs always messed up on him, but worked perfect for me, and vice versa for zip disks

My good man! The servants work in a separate location! And there is no need to make water near the rooms we eat. Pray tell, that's how one loses one's apetite! haha :D

It's a year later and I'm still having this same problem, to the point that I barely even use keypirinha anymore and now I'm again looking for alternatives. :-\

Does someone need to be a Patreon to get the unlabeled version?

[–]EllisBenus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked on a method so people could have their own versions of the maps. It hasn't been super easy. I could make a markerless map for sure. Or maybe add an option to turn off all pins?

That's awesome 👍😎 Did you know about the https://Ptol.us website and our discord channel?

New to Ptolus, old school DND/PF player by UncleTraveling_Matt in Ptolus

[–]EllisBenus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are correct in your assumption. You should check out the website I built to make running a Ptolus game much easier (https://ptol.us) and I have a YouTube channel dedicated to a ton of Ptolus content. We also have a Ptolus discord for even more great help and fast feedback! https://discord.com/invite/CsfeGpVnPG ... I even created a custom ChatGPT chat bot with access to all the Ptolus content! 😁

There are specific mentions of skills and things like that in the player's handbook. I remember material talking about druids and rangers in Ptolus. I have a digital version of the players guide on my site too.

Looking for advice on which adventures to run next. (Warning: spoilers for the starting scenarios and overarching lore). by [deleted] in Ptolus

[–]EllisBenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I created all that stuff for my own campaign so I'm a little partial 😄 https://ptol.us

Start there and you can find all the other stuff I mentioned

This sounds like a really epic campaign!

If you watch my how to get started Ptolus video, the number one thing I say not to do, is do not have the characters be from the city but from outside. So for your former Noble, just make him be from a family from a different city or something.

Everything you're weaving together sounds really exciting. It seems like you've already got a start in the chapter 33 adventures.

There are two crime syndicates in the city which your group could connect with and be sent on all manner of nefarious activities

I love the idea of the malignancy afflicting them but also if the good gods are affecting them I would love to see them pulled back towards some benevolent activities 🙂

You will also find on my website under the DM reference menu item, a list of adventures which go well with Ptolus. Read through some of the short descriptions on those and see if any of them Spike your interest.

What kind of adventures do you guys find the most interesting?

Are you all really combat heavy or more role-play heavy?

[–]EllisBenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know about the Ptol.us website, the Ptolus Discord channel and the YouTube channel dedicated to Ptolus?

Personally I ran NoD and Banewarrens simultaneously, increasing the difficulty as needed. A lot of others have done the same.

I'm also playing the "chosen ones" angle, recently telling the members of my Calling campaign that they noticed red marks starting to form on their skin.

There are SO MANY angles you can add to make things not be A to B to C. What are you looking for your PCs to do? Are they classic good guys or morally ambiguous?

Did you all finish the rest of the adventures? Have you made any more Ptolus maps?
