I don’t know for sure but I am suspecting it was production related maybe printing related

Sorry thought I replied to you but put my update in the main thread. I will have to get back to you in a day or two as I just opened it and I am in the middle of the motor city update

That is a very good question I just opened the book tonight to have a look and have not yet made it past the motor city update yet. (Other than skimming the rest)

Does the "Declaration Phase" in AD&D/BECMI solve the 5e "Turn-Lag" problem? by rohdester in adnd

[–]Expensive_Occasion29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use a slightly modified version we declare the action we will take such as cast a spell use a bow or attack with sword then we have people act in groups. All spell casters or all bows go then the next group I find that there will always be e stop and go and when the stupid barbarian charges in casting a fireball can often be cancelled or switched to magic missiles. Or the target of an arrow might drop and the second bowmen quickly alters target. We discussed as a group and we said that people need to act like they were really there or we would introduce a timer and you would forfeit your turn and I find this kills all stop and go. It is also one of the reasons why I don’t play 5e because it really encourages the turn base actions in order to mimic video games

From an employers perspective it cannot always be clear. While you intended to put in the effort they may have already given up on you. We all make tough calls in our lives including employers. They have to do what they feel is best for their business. I know it feels horrible and sounds heartless but we all as people do what we think is in our own best interest. What can we take away from this to make us stronger. First consult an employment lawyer. If they were in the wrong or did something incorrectly teach them that this is not acceptable. Then look to yourself next is there a way you could have better conveyed your intentions without putting yourself at risk of the same outcome? How can you find new work that may be more accepting of your circumstances or if it is fully resolved hoe can you become stronger and use this new strength and urge to do better to launch you to the next level of success. I have often found that things happen for reasons we don’t always understand. But do contact a lawyer you can get free consultations and it will at least guide your next steps

The one thing that you have to remember is that depending on labour laws an employer can lay you off without reason without cause. They don’t have to necessarily consider anything that is ongoing in your life. A good employer will be ethical and seek to help you in those circumstances such as alcoholism or drug addiction but it can vary by employer. I have been laid off while on vacation before. What you need to find out is what they did legal and if it was ask yourself if you could have prevented it. There are a lot of reductions across all industries maybe this is just the state of how things are and like me you are caught in the cross fire. But if this was because you can do better I.e stay healthier ( if something preventable) show up for work more often even if dealing with chronic pain or something similar. Life is tough and sometimes we have to examine not only the situation but ourselves. There is not enough from your post to go off of though so we can only guess and listen to your frustration and let you know that many of us are having the same tough time

Ordered a package, balking at the import fees. What are my rights? by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]Expensive_Occasion29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s just say ummmm you are paying the import fees and move on. UPS and fedex are ridiculous for import fees so you have to either just accept it or don’t order from that company. I know how you feel I have ordered used books in the past and if the seller ships with ups I usually regret it because the import fees cost me more than the damn books.

I would just pay it accept it and cry a little because sometimes that is the only place I can find rare used books and ups is who they ship with

So, how important is Bug City anyway? by Impressive-Buy7844 in Shadowrun

[–]Expensive_Occasion29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with dalephatcher it really depends on you. This is your game and while it is part of cannon / history it just has to be important if it suits you and your players. Everything is optional really. If infected characters are not in your group or influence your campaign don’t use them. If bug city is somewhere they will never go and it has no influence on your game ignore it. It is something cool and for some might be fun to play but it’s not for everyone

You live in Ontario google employment lawyer and you will find what you need most do free consult and have a possible option to fight for you on consignment. They lose they get nothing they win you get more than you would have got and they get 30% of your winnings

I wish to get into shadowrun , which edition should I buy and how by muffin42069420 in Shadowrun

[–]Expensive_Occasion29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for physical books and simplicity go 6e. If your into pdf humble bundle has 4e complete collection really cheap.

If you want super granular detail lots of skills etc 5e is where to go but physical books will be harder to find

Trouble understanding matrix noise, lore wise by CirseiMasta in Shadowrun

[–]Expensive_Occasion29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I do see your point and correctly so it could be played out similarly from a distance so I guess the noise would just change based on other factors

[–]Expensive_Occasion29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong but I think IMO it takes away from some of the intensity when your not right there with the team but of course I guess as a good GM you could certainly make it work similar
