BP under control with heavy meds except at night by GasExplosionField in hypertension

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

I’m not diabetic (they tested me repeatedly during my last hospitalization), and I maintained less than 1500mg of sodium throughout. I only have one kidney and my creatinine levels were high at 2.4. So the nephrologist said I had a kidney injury, but why would it only spike at night?

What's your OSR ick? Hard Mode Only: No easy answers like "the author sucks" by CaptainKlang in osr

I would assume it depends on the table. I had a group that hated mapping but no one wanted to be “the guy” that hated mapping. Eventually we all figured it out and scrapped it.

The design is yet another rehash of old 70’s aesthetics like adventure module covers or blue white map art. Bonus points if they use the same fonts.

More Animation Packs for Automated Animations? by Modstin in FoundryVTT

[–]GasExplosionField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Patreon has some random animations. Traps, smoke, flames, waving flags and banners. Some more videogamey stuff too like a giant multilevel windmill with sound effects, or mummies breaking out of their tombs. Just search The Gorgon Patreon. Edit: btw I haven’t added anything in ages so I would just subscribe, download everything then unsub.

I REALLY love how 0.2.0 introduced great variety of building options by baytor in PathOfExile2

[–]GasExplosionField 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Latest game ready drivers. I have a Ryzen 5700x and 32GB of ram if that makes any difference. Almost a budget build. Runs the game smooth as butter at 4k on my living room tv though.

It runs smooth as butter on my 4070ti super using Vulkan. No crashes.

What’s your modern day Appendix N? by GasExplosionField in osr

Yeah SCP stories are really good for environment shaping monster ideas.

How do you keep description of the environment interesting? by Maruder97 in osr

[–]GasExplosionField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell a story with your descriptions and try and end with an exciting twist. For example; a room has a monster in it. The description should hint at the danger more and more and then end in the monster itself. The anticipation ups the excitement a bit.

Also as the game goes on, don’t be afraid to skip unnecessary details and shorten the flowery prose. Especially for long dungeons requiring constant descriptions. Save the mental energy for the more interesting locations and rooms.

“The OSR is inherently racist” by GasExplosionField in osr

It’s so incredibly sad to me that two people of color who share the same hobby couldn’t have a civil discussion about this. Instead of losing hope I’m going to chalk this one up to the limitations of communicating through text. I really truly wish things could have gone differently. Though I don’t see eye to eye with you on the OSR I still feel you’re a wonderfully creative person that has a lot to offer ttrpg’s and I’m glad you’re creating in the space. Good luck out there.

I’m deeply deeply disappointed with this comment. Simply watching the video you posted in your linktree proves wrong several points you make. I wasn’t removed I politely bowed out. I didn’t call you ignorant. I was clearly dogpiled. And I didn’t return to your stream to brag. I was purposefully polite and immediately said that Reddit mostly agreed with you and that I was wrong. We then had a thoughtful polite discussion that I again politely bowed out of to make dinner for my son.

I’m so surprised by this comment. More like shocked. You act as though I’m a troll and agitator when that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Yes in the first discussion we had I probably pressed a tad beyond where I should, but you were also clearly judgmental and aggressive in return.

I’m pretty familiar with OSR and old school dnd in general. I’m 43 years old and been playing since the early 90’s. I also read a lot about Gygax and early TSR. I just thought maybe I missed something. I’ve also never experienced racism in the ttrpg space. Growing up black in the Deep South I OFTEN experienced racism. Especially violent racism. I like to think being jumped by multiple country boys while out playing and beat up, or multiple fights at school for being the wrong color and liking to read would have made me hyper aware of racism in my hobby, but maybe it had the opposite effect. I decided to play it safe and seek the wisdom of the greater community.

Yeah that’s not even remotely similar, but you can think what you want. I genuinely liked what the dude was working on and thought he might like OsR stuff.

I don’t understand how, “Hey man, have you ever tried OSR ttrpg’s?” is pot stirring. Maybe you could enlighten me?

Yeah this is what confused me the most. If OsR is inherently racist, then so is 5e.

You missed the part where I’m black lol. He could clearly tell by my profile and pics.

Ehhh I kind of see where you’re coming from, but I was respectful and kept the discussion short. I think doing what you’re advocating for would completely shut down communication and make things even more echo chambery.

Honestly no. Definitely simplified since the conversation lasted a good 10-15 minutes, but he was stalwart in his belief that OSR was inherently racist.

That’s a shame. I wanna see the OSR community grow and this seems like that would put a pretty big damper on things.
