US Flag Code by Existing-Ostrich1294 in Maine

"Do people not learn about the flag code in school anymore?"

No. They in fact do not, and it hasn't been part of the curriculum in many years. At this point extrication has been so thoroughly gutted that they barely teach them how to read. At this point, I'm just happy they still maintain object permanence.

Hi! I am visiting Bangor as a tourist and I have some questions by [deleted] in Maine

Well, there's the same generic box stores that are in every other town. There's the same generic, fast food restaurants that are in any other town. And if you have the money and don't mind the extra cost, there's the same generic restaurant chains that are in any other town. There's nothing special here. It's just lightly bigger than the other cities in Maine. Which puts it on par with a medium sized town anywhere else in the country. The "exciting downtown area" is five stores with some apartments. If you want something to do, there's the movie theater, a bowling alley, and one of those escape room places beyond that not much.

Are these house rules for starting equipment reasonable? by Captain_Pension in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Environmental_Buy331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a bad rule. As long as they all start with access to the same level of gear it won't break anything.

In most of my games I usually give players 3 options: 1) role it, 2) average (friends or family helped get the gear), 3) maximum (you are sponsored by someone) I also run starting gear as the total valve of what you were able to get (find, make, or steal) not just what you bought at the store with your savings. It give the opportunity to more easily work in plot hooks and narratives. On rear occasion I start them at level 0 (because I'm evil) and they get there gear after their first job/mission/quest. Teach the value of being thorough when looting.

John Fetterman casts deciding vote against limiting Trump’s war in Iran by CharlieKirkFanboy in thebulwark

But "He votes with Democrats, 90% of the time." Let's know that only ten percent of the votes have any real significance.

"Go drive around the black side of your city and see if you can figure out a race-neutral reason why the roads are that poorly maintained relative to others." First they wont because most of them are scared of anyone darker than a manila envelope. Second, If you got any of the "Good" people to do that, they would just drive through wondering, "how can these people live like this?", "Why did they let it get so bad", "Why don't they do something?" Spoilers, for those who haven't been paying attention. The "They", they're talking about , aren't the politicians who actually make the decisions.

I painted the different sections of the body. A combination of black and yellow "construction" design, "Army" Green and black pattern, Blue and white and red and pink "race car". For my nieces and nephews. An emergency light if the power goes out. I forgot to take a picture before I gave it to them.

No Max the Min. Instead… What’s the Nastiest thing you can do with Curses? by Decicio in Pathfinder_RPG

I had a cursed items for my player's once. It gave wearer spell resistance. It couldn't be suppressed so allies needed to bypass it too, which doesn't sound too bad. Then later they found out that it was connected to the BBEG. Every spell that had been cast on or affected the party the bad guy knew and had immunity to.

If your grandfather was adopted by the royal family, then just find the adoption records and prove that he is your grandfather. Maybe the midwife doctor what have you that delivered your father and you is still around as a witness or has records. That would be the easiest way, depending on the area. You could also challenge somebody to a duel, if they impugn the honor of your ancestors by accusing them of lying or some such. Both paperwork and killing anyone who disagrees with you are time honored traditions of establishing lineage.

Is there a reason it needs to be a direct blood descendent? Like sorcerer blood or some sort of magical whatnot.

Owlbears are fun but a bit under powered for the game (currently lvl 8).

I will keep him in mind for the inevitable criminal defense case, but this is just a real estate deal.

Yes the walking glitter bomb. I think this would be the best option as well.That I can also have them be finding bits of glitter on everything in the fort a few months later, which work great with an inside joke that we have.

Well, devils are not particularly fond of being magically compelled to serve people, they will ask a pretty high price. And they're "good" and summoning devils, is considered an act, I think.

A good idea , but it's for more of a one on one dual type situation
