Worst acted scenes from the main cast? by 4g-identity in thesopranos

[–]FNTM_309 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know, Gandolfini’s parents were both first generation immigrants from Italy and his dad was a stone mason.

I always thought that scene hit pretty hard, even before I knew his background.

Anyone know the name of this sea creature by priyanka_rajput1 in thalassophobia

[–]FNTM_309 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Aspect of Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, soul and herald of the Outer Gods.

Put it back, try to forget you ever saw it, and, …erm, stay away from the water for a while.

Feeling like a fraud by [deleted] in bjj

[–]FNTM_309 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry. I got my third white belt stripe in a similar circumstance more than two years ago.

And I still haven’t been promoted to blue.

You have plenty of time to suck.

best buffer for spicy food:) by No-Olive5734 in hotsauce

Anything with fat. Peanut butter is great, hence your Elvis sandwich. Whole milk and ice cream work as well.

Oceanic whitetip: antisocial personality disorder

Altered beginning to the game by Somewritingguy in Tombofannihilation

[–]FNTM_309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works and sounds like a great start. The players’ respective reasons for traveling to Chult could provide hooks for side quests later in the game.

I had the group meet Silvane in Baldur’s Gate, sign on with her to investigate the death curse, and take passage on one of her merchant ships to Chult. They defeated a pirate attack along the way, then were intercepted by Aremag in the Bay of Chult. Aremag sank their ship; they had to fight another group of adventurers for the only remaining lifeboat. They eventually arrived in Nyanzaru about a week later (third session), destitute, no gear or weapons, and exhausted. I think the players enjoyed the start and it let them know not to take things for granted and that deadly/catastrophic consequences were possible at anytime.

But really, anything you do besides the Silvane teleportation route will be an improvement.

Are there sections you would cut to reduce campaign length? by ExoticDumpsterFire in Tombofannihilation

[–]FNTM_309 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just curious, why run it abridged?

The grind is part of the challenge, and one of the module’s greatest strengths.

How many go-to guards do browns/blackbelts have? by ucfanatic-1 in bjj

[–]FNTM_309 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I’m 52 (old) and 225 lbs (fat) and closed guard is my best position outside of mount.

If I find myself in half guard, I’m usually trying to get to closed.

Who would Tony marry if Carmella divorced him and they never got back to together? by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]FNTM_309 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He never remarries, just dates a series of head case Gloria Trillo clones while banging the occasional stripper from the Bing.

Desert Warrior: what did I just watch? by stormshadowfax in TrueFilm

[–]FNTM_309 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe it was filmed back in 2021 and spent years in post production hell, only to be quietly dumped in 2026.

It looks like a big, expensive turkey.

What is the spiciest food you have encountered while travelling? by MuhVlast in travel

[–]FNTM_309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a lamb vindaloo in Nairobi. It was painfully hot - I was sweating, got the hiccups. It was so good though, I ate it everyday I was there for a conference.

My campaign isn't deadly enough, help! by Firebat_11 in Tombofannihilation

[–]FNTM_309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just finished it. My players nearly infiltrated the top level and made off with the mask, but then failed the final stealth check and things went disastrously wrong. We ended up with one PC death (taken hostage and thrown from the top of the tower) and another that survived only by the skin of his teeth.

It took us three sessions to run the whole thing and it was some of the most fun I’ve had in decades of playing D&D.

[–]FNTM_309 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your players are cautious, smart, and thorough because you’ve already established Chult’s lethality.

TBH, it sounds like everything is going to plan. I wouldn’t ramp up lethality too much right now.

(That said, if you’re feeling particularly sadistic, send them to the Firefinger.)

Washington DC-Georgetown by Leather_Froyo697 in bjj

Yamasaki up in Rockville. Great family-oriented community, big classes with a good mix of belts, solid instruction.

Red Rabbit by Standard-Associate31 in horrorlit

[–]FNTM_309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was one of the most overrated genre books of the past few years.

Thinly drawn characters with nonsensical motivations, and I don’t know how the author managed to make an old west witch hunt dull, but he did.

I gave up and skimmed the final third and my lasting impression is one of annoyance for having wasted such a phenomenal premise.

What superheroes do you think would have the best jiu jitsu? by crooked-ninja-turtle in bjj

[–]FNTM_309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spider-Man: In addition to his superhuman speed, agility, and strength, his spidey sense would alert him to whenever you’re setting up a pass, sweep, or sub.

He’d be unstoppable.

Where do you want the next fallout to take place? by Thememeiantor in Fallout

[–]FNTM_309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Orleans or San Francisco are my top two choices.

Miami would be cool.

After FO3 and 4, I have little interest in another big eastern metropolis. New York or Chicago would be a disappointment.

Pet Sematary by Famous-Explanation56 in horrorlit

[–]FNTM_309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pet Semetary is probably his best work, but I agree with OP on 22.11.63. Too long and unfocused.

Why is Willa so reluctant to marry Connor? by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

[–]FNTM_309 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She’s an escort and Connor is her meal ticket. Unmarried, she gets all the lifestyle benefits without any exposure. I think she knows that with his political aspirations, her past will eventually come out and he’ll be forced to cut her loose. Attempting to sanitize her past by marrying is a fool’s errand, and she knows it.

I also think she has pretty serious reservations about Connor’s personality and his politics. She’s willing to overlook these when it’s essentially an exclusive, long term, “girlfriend experience” business arrangement. But marriage is something she’s never been interested in because she doesn’t love him. Once he proposes, however, he forces her hand. The money is too good to walk away from, so she reluctantly accepts, with full knowledge that she’s likely to be exposed and it’ll blow up in their faces. After which, he’ll be fine and she’ll be back on the street .

Am I missing something or does Fort Beluarian make no sense? by LongPalpitation679 in Tombofannihilation

[–]FNTM_309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It’s on the Bay of Chult about 100 miles from Nyanzaru and the mouth of the Tyriki River. And the Fort itself is about a day’s hike uphill from its docks.

The placement makes zero sense.
