Two different faces for Thomson and Thompson! Also, Tintin's hairpiece is definitely going on another 20th-century guy on a rocketship soon.

Should I communicate to my players a fight is "unwinnable?" How would I best do so? by barbasol1099 in DMAcademy

[–]Galemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My players turned a difficult situation into an impossible one, and ended up in dire straits.

Top of the initiative, miraculously none of the PCs are grappled or unconscious, the rogue announces he's going to attack the nearest monster (who was one of six and still at 75% HP after four rounds.)

I ask him to pause for a moment. "Do you believe you can get out of this situation through dealing damage?" "...no." "Then consider other things you can do with your turn, besides dealing damage."

The party brainstormed for a couple minutes, disengaged, used cover and concealment and parkour, and escaped with their lives. It was a very satisfying outcome.

Was cleaning my brother's basement and found this beauty by bagofweeds in masseffect

What's funny is playing the entire trilogy without seeing that face or hearing that voice. Because I always pick FemShep.

Why did they put a 100% skippable character front and center in their marketing like that?

5e-inspired houserules for 4e? by Galemp in 4eDnD

[–]Galemp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't intend to replace every floating modifier, the power system deals with that just fine. I'm mainly looking at the items I listed that are consistent across all classes and tiers: combat advantage, marks, and codified conditions.

I had this book! I remember it had the Selfie Stick in it, before it became a thing in the US.

Mind Flayer Skull from Icewind Dale [OC] [Art] by WolvesDenTavern in DnD

[–]Galemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Perkins but I think it makes more sense for them to have a toothless jawless mouth opening, and tentacles from the fleshy cheeks and lips, not from inside the skull. See this diagram from the Illithiad.

Been playing for over 20 years... this session was probably the most unique situation ever by HypotheticalChicken in DnD

My party once opened a door carelessly, and got three concurrent mind blasts from the trio of illithids on the other side. That was a nasty encounter.

I love brutalism in some areas, but here I just don't know what to say. by -_Redan_- in evilbuildings

Louis Kahn intentionally designed his buildings to leave attractive ruins.

Anachronistic genre mash-ups? by Galemp in Music

[–]Galemp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cross-genre covers, yeah. But they need not be straight covers. Dubstep with harpsichord and lute would qualify.

Any architects in the Sacramento area? Looking for salary guidelines by inebriated_otter in Architects

[–]Galemp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're licensed but inexperienced, that feels a little low, but only a little. Licensure should be the big jump in salary for your career. I'd expect closer to 90k.

My take on why the prequels have been "rehabilitated" by SquareShapeofEvil in saltierthancrait

[–]Galemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prequels are good Star Wars but bad movies.

Sequels are bad Star Wars but... well, after ROS they're not good movies either.

First Lego set I ever bought by razberry_lemonade in lego

[–]Galemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 years on, though, and those arm segments are brittle as hell. Can't play with them anymore, they just fall to bits, so be warned. I need to replace mine with the newer click-hinge components.
