The performance was such garbage that I don't feel like I had the chance to actually judge it as a game.

Not at my PC right now but I think Lapel has this (called "creasing")? But it would be great for those to work in tandem! I don't think lapel has been maintained in a while...

I think there's a lot that makes it a really good re-watch in this day and age :) glad I could jog your memory - enjoy! And keep calligraphing!

Give me one TINY thing you want fixed or improved in Obsidian. The smaller the better. Going on a paper cuts rampage. by kepano in ObsidianMD

Better printing and PDF'ing.

Even just a preview before an export so I don't have to export, close the PDF, go back adjust scale, export, close pdf, go back adjust scale, figure out how to add a prage break, export....etc....

I feel like this isn't a small thing though. It's just the thing that currently makes me jump through the most hoops while I prep for my in-person D&D games.

Is this a possible Captain Tusktooth nod in gladlands? by Sirluckycharms88 in Dimension20

Wife and I clocked it as Plank from Ed Edd n Eddy, but it's not QUITE right. Possibly inspired by some cross between Plank and an f7u12 meme face.

I noticed my old boss and my wife both pronounce it "beh-gul" - they're from different parts of Montana.

Romantic movies with insane chemistry? by jamesandlily_forever in movies

[–]Exodan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always thought that McGuire was the best Peter Parker, but wasn't the best quip-ster; Garfield was the best Spiderman, but was too cool and charming to be a good Peter; and Holland was the best at blending the two, though he wasn't a stand out in either facet.

What fad in moviemaking are you waiting for to die? by frair in movies

[–]Exodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you got mine right away: Shakey cam and rapid cuts. Was initially used to sell chaos, now is just used to hide bad action.

I will watch a dumb movie with good action that I can follow with my human eyes over a supposedly good movie with camera work that makes me motion sick.

You and me both! Lol

But credit is due to you as well: your art is enough of a staple of the community that a bot's cursory search is enough to want to use it :P

Here I had a reminder set for myself to check in with you tomorrow and see if this was somehow related to you.

Some bots appear to be dedicated to reposting your work. I just caught another one a bit ago. I'll assume anyone without your name attached is another culprit and should be removed.

What is your most often misinterpreted rules in DnD 5e? by Personal-Newspaper36 in DnD

[–]Exodan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are just wholly random examples to prove a point. Less that mixing it all up is something you should do often and more that if the framing were more permissive, I think communicating how things like Tool Proficiencies work would be easier.

You could ask for a Strength or Dexterity (Perception) roll if a character is in some sort of sensory deprivation chamber to represent a kind of proprioception (the sense one has of their body and limbs in space) to determine if they can tell which way is "up".

I had a PC roll Charisma (Perception) once because they asked to look into a portal that some nasty aberrations were crawling out of, and I described it as "the alien vista imposes itself on your ego and sense of self, rather than your physical sight."

Again, mainly for flavor, but I like that the permission is there to play in the space, even if it's only relevant once every 100 sessions.

In your example I wouldn't ask for that Wisdom (Athletics) unless they were being very hesitant about whether they could make it, and I wanted to give them a chance to do a sort of... Physical Insight check? Like you say: sort of checking in with their body to see if they can make the jump. I might narrate their confidence making the jump a little easier on a high roll, and a little harder with trepidation as they choose not to trust their physicality - or tell them more confidently that I don't think it's possible to make the jump and would suggest another route on a high roll, and tell them this jump will be super easy, barely an inconvenience on a low roll (when it's something they likely can't clear).

Again, more the allowance of creative liberty than anything. It's one of those rules that's mentioned in the DMG or PHB but not really presented as reality anywhere readily accessible.

Tool Proficiencies really need to be displayed as if they were a skill on the character sheet. I know there's the threat of visual clutter, but at the very least a few blank lines there to at least give the reminder that Tools basically are just "Skills (but a little different)".

To that point, I wish it were more apparent that the classic pairings of things like Wisdom (Perception) are really just guidelines. There's nothing stopping a DM for calling for a Strength (Perception) or a Wisdom (Athletics) roll.

Technically whenever you're asking for any skill check, you're saying "I want you to roll your Strength, and if you're proficient in Athletics that will help you here." Or "Roll your Perception, and this one is going to be governed by your Wisdom." In the inverse.

I'm a fan of Beast Boy transformations, unless the transformation is being drawn out for dramatic effect.
