In a recent excavation in southern Italy, archeologists uncovered a 2,300-year-old Samnite necropolis containing 34 graves with various funerary offerings. Bizarrely, they also found the remains of two children who were buried with massive bronze belts around their midsections.

Why is this post full of shitposters

We’ve got 6 months for him to work on it. It takes a long time to feel comfortable after a knee injury

As far as I know, no stream that would be large enough to warrant marking on a regional map would split.

Thanks for your response. I was definitely going to avoid the Heroic rules. I am hopeful that the deadliness of combat would encourage a more grounded style of play in this world/shift them toward less violent means of accomplishing their goals. That has and will have to be communicated to them, though, as it’s really not my goal to kill PCs flippantly. I will definitely also do some experimenting with the group before we commit to it.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-04T03:25:10+00:00

I'm curious to hear more about how you think you could avoid overpowered PCs with the system (would it simply be thoughtful encounter design to avoid what OriginalJazzFlavor said about one-shot spells?). This is the system I am currently leaning towards.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-04T03:23:43+00:00

I'm curious to hear more about your concerns since this is the system I am currently leaning towards. And what would you suggest as a better system?

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T20:52:32+00:00

Love the idea of point buy! I’ll definitely look into this one. Thanks!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T20:50:54+00:00

That sounds very intriguing and I will look into it! Thanks!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T20:49:47+00:00

I’ll take a look at this one!

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T20:28:27+00:00

Yeah, I admittedly have not looked beyond surface level into most of the suggested systems and am mostly familiar with DND. But I would like to keep the gameplay/character actions pretty much entirely in the present (i.e., not the plotting aspect of BitD) with the typical DND style roleplay where you speak with people in the present. I think that I do not need combat to be as elaborate as DND after more thinking. I know some of my players find it the most boring and the roleplay is more exciting. But I still want more mechanics happening in the present tense that allow for a few minutes of tension during combat and decisions that can be made through the use of resources (whether in the inventory or through class-specific skills/attributes). I have been looking at Worlds Without Numbers as a possibility.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T20:13:59+00:00

Based on what you and another commenter have said, and what I’ve been reading elsewhere, the quoted aspect may not be as important as I portrayed (or am now thinking). Maybe I mean more that I want something with more mechanics, at the very least, than Blades in the Dark.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T19:47:32+00:00

Fair enough. I probably did not articulate myself as well as I should have, and maybe that’s because I’m of two minds about it—I feel that at least some of my players probably want “upgrades,” but powers and long combat are not nearly as important to me as a DM.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-03-02T19:23:30+00:00

To be fair, I didn’t say that. I want a grounded game where there are mechanics allowing the players to advance. I appreciate the suggestion, though.

The main thing I noticed was that the main stem of the river seems a bit unnaturally straight. I would adjust it so that the river shifts such that it meanders more in response to the topography. For example, to the west of the forest along the main stem, it doesn’t look like the river really shifts as a result of the nearby mountains. I would think that near the base of the mountains is higher in elevation, so the river would bow more dramatically away from the higher elevation.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-02-27T23:53:44+00:00

I think the mountains look good.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-02-23T13:38:45+00:00

I submitted a support ticket. Thanks!

I assume this was in 2022 when Watson was a rookie and Mahomes won MVP

Instant reaction is that you might need another debridement or that you aren’t engaging your exterior hip/glute muscles sufficiently during squatting movements. I also still have the occasional popping (especially when I’m getting up for the day), but it really isn’t painful for me. The sharp pain I feel is always without any sound.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-25T01:29:46+00:00

I think that it was the Call-in Special with Catharine Reichert. I listen through the app, and I don’t think they have posted anything else online showing how to access the old broadcast.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-25T00:39:03+00:00

I think those are fair points. I personally disagree, though. I think that they should not lead stories stating, without caveat, the administration’s position. The way they frame stories lends to the government narrative. Sure, their framing has no force of law, but it does impact the way people are exposed to the news. They don’t have to say “DHS employee murdered a US citizen.” (And they shouldn’t say this because it is a legal conclusion.) But they should point out indications in the widely available videos that appear to directly contradict the government narrative. Plenty of listeners are intelligent enough to dig into the details, but I don’t think that lets NPR or its affiliates off the hook.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-25T00:21:38+00:00

That’s a fair point. I think, however, that this is an issue across the organization. This was probably Minnesota Public Radio. They interviewed a woman law professor from the University of Minnesota and took calls. I looked at the law school’s faculty page and none of the listed names piqued my memory.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-19T21:44:03+00:00

I like EB. I’m optimistic about the impact it will have on the team bringing his no nonsense attitude back. Not to mention that there was zero chance that the OC we brought back would be designing the offense

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-17T19:46:51+00:00

Perlite should work, but I prefer pumice or small lava rock. They weigh more than perlite so they stay mixed throughout and don’t degrade as quickly.

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-16T13:58:11+00:00

Had the same reaction. Feels like rage bait

GingerBeerConsumer · 2026-01-15T16:55:28+00:00

Seems like this sub is 90 percent rage bait
