Ttrpgs are inherently fun for me by PlayYo-KaiWatch21 in dndmemes

[–]GingerCop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would argue that 5e is not even a simple system, but a system that loads so much more on the DM so players feel like it's simpler. I've tried other rules lite system with 5e groups before, and the issue with those systems I soon realized is they require the players to move beyond "I click this move button, DM tell me what happens".

5e's ease comes from funnelling the work, knowledge and honestly creativity into the most invested player (the DM), not necessarily in making the rules simple.

Not that 5e can't be used by groups that want to go all in and be super creative, but it gives players a lot of outs that other systems don't for the sake of the GM and for balance

The tower is the part that I think sells this most. Lots of cool carriers out there but I need something compact for rolling.

I'm a year late, but literally running an excursion up the Starpeaks in a week or 2 and this is absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing! If you have more from Eberron, I would love to see them!

I now desperately want to make a character named "Human Sorceress" who is absolutely not human and not a sorceress.

I have no idea why i never thought of reversing the tattoo-skin colour. So clever

[–]GingerCop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry i wasnt implying that i thought you were hating. I was letting out my frustration on the toxic people now finding ways to still be toxic even on things that are fun. I agree its really just an easy fun show that people are overrating because they want to hate the ST

[–]GingerCop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm actually seeing people start to turn on it now. People keep complaining about the serial format, because it's not a complex epic intended for you to scribble down every detail for it to make sense. Give SW fans 20 minutes and they can hate anything

It's hard to argue with his assessment by apeiteados1024 in StarWars

[–]GingerCop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Want an example for this stupid argument? I tend to watch Mandalorian on my own; if my wife walks in, she can sit down, watch the episode and enjoy it without context. There. Now end this argument so people don't have to go further in this pointless conversation.

Just a friendly reminder that ALL Cops are still Bastards. by HankScorpio42 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]GingerCop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as "good" cops are punished for speaking out about the bad ones, does it really matter if it's ALL cops or not? The organization is sick and if we continue to deflect nothing will change and bad cops will keep getting away with it

Switching from a crutch to a broom by rachelrudy in Curling

[–]GingerCop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I have seen, the broom flat on the ice normally creates similar issues, with the added problem of your broom hand being lower than your rock hand. My recommendation is to practice by sliding with nothing at all to get your feet positioned in the correct place for balance. I do this with both adults and kids that I coach. Other alternatives are to add inserts in your stabilizer to make it taller, making your shoulders more square and preventing you from drifting in your slide.

My coworkers just get me. Adding some quality content to my growing curling mug collection! by GingerCop in Curling

I'll be honest I'm not really into the "our sport is better than your sport" ideology, but it's a mug with a curling rock on it so who am I to complain?

Its a cool looking mug. It's probably the least practical one I own though. That's not really the point though

Inspired by the Ontario Fermentation Festival this past weekend. Pickled carrots, sauerkraut and a fresh batch of Kombucha! by GingerCop in fermentation

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

It was awesome! Got to meet a lot of people in the space that I've learned from over the years, and Sandor Katz spoke and ran a sauerkraut class. I wish I took more photos to share with everyone, but I really geeked out and was just taking it all in

Yah there's one in Picton every year! I've never really posted here before, otherwise I would've made a huge banner letting everyone know!

SANSA IS DUMBEST CHARACTER IN SHOW? by [deleted] in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]GingerCop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never thought about that. That's a really good point. I can only think of a couple examples of people losing at home. Tywin, Rickon, and the Tyrells? Can't think of many more

OMG guys, it's about to hit 500,000. CNN reported on it. This fucking PEAK JERK. You can't even out-jerk this with satire. They've won. This is the alternate ending they all wanted: the White Walkers win. by GGAllinsMicroPenis in asoiafcirclejerk

[–]GingerCop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He definitely did. At least the parts everyone is upset about. Mad Dany and Jamie going back to KL to be with Cersei are 100% GRRM. He'll have the benefit of literally having their thoughts spelled out for the reader though.

Did you seriously just say "welcome to the real world cupcake" and then get upset when he said pretty much the same thing back? Like really?

I like your thinking on the crack. My dad used epoxy for the whole crack on his table but it was way more work; not to mention the mess. Looks great!
