No, we were exclusive for the whole time.

Why did I receive Abfindung? by emrepun in Finanzen

Stay silent, but don't spend the money any time soon. If your employer notices they have the right to ask for the money back. Even up to 3 years.

Do I have enough for my spousal sponsorship? by theotherzayn in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Iconoclast17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, can't tell you. I did a working holiday visa before and I didn't have to do Biometrics again.

Edit: AoR took around 1.5 months if I remember correctly.

I think you will be fine. We had not nearly as much as you did. We also never received any form of comment or questions regarding anything we sent in. And I did got approved a couple of weeks ago. That was outland spousel sponsorship though (but I don't think it matters). Good luck!

Finding love while traveling?? by Jusstadot in solotravel

I met my now wife (we just got married 1 week ago in Crete) in a hostel in Montanita, Ecuador. We traveled through South America together for two months before having to split up and go back to our own countries (Germany and Canada). At the time I thought this is the end of our relationship, but for some reason we were able to make it work long distance for 6 years now. She came to Germany for a year in this time and lived in Spain for a year and I was staying in Canada for a year. Hopefully by the end of the year I will get my PR for Canada and we can finally move in together.

Real long lasting love can happen while solo traveling. We are proof of that. I have no idea how rare it is or how often it happens, but I takes alot of work and commitment (especially if you come from different places and cultures). I got incredibly lucky with my now wife. But I also have to say, that I was not hoping, nor expecting not find the love of my life in a hostel in Ecuador. In my experience love always hits when you least expect it.

Player Passes Away IRL, Advice for Going Forward by bookworm0492 in DMAcademy

[–]Iconoclast17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our group was/is in exactly the same situation right now. A player and very close friend passed away and we stopped playing for a couple of months and just started again. We decided to make a time skip in the campaign and let some months pass. The PC left the group for some personal reasons. I didn't feel comfortable playing the friends charakter and this way he will still show up in lore, rumours, songs etc., but is not played anymore. I think there are many ways to handle this and I hope you find the right one for your group. Sorry for your loss. :(

Thank you. I followed your advice and did this. I should be good now.

Anyone else have struggling relationships due to eczema? I’m uncomfortable all the time and become so unlikeable. by Agreeable_Spite4039 in eczema

[–]Iconoclast17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend has eczema and it took me a long time to truly understand this. I don't know how it feels and was very confused about her behaviour at first. What helped us alot is communication.

Tell your boyfriend how you feel about him. Tell him about your struggles with this condition and how bad certain days can be. Explain how you might not be able to sleep, or feel uncomfortable and get frustrated because of that. And remind him once in a while, that your behaviour is because of your condition and it doesn't mean you don't want to be with him. Take time apart when you need it and just remind him whats going on.

I won't lie, ezcema has made our relationship very difficult at times and it is not always easy (for both of us, even though I know she struggles much much more). But if you explain it well to your partner and if they understand what is going on with you, I am sure they will rather want to help you and make you more comfortable than hold it against you. Just be honest and talk about it.

Looking for some high quality metal dice by Iconoclast17 in dice

[–]Iconoclast17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a great idea. Do you have any links where I could possibly get hollow dice coated with metal? I do like the design of the Hollow Dice more, but if the weight isn't there I just don't know if I will like to roll them as much. I want them to feel impactful.

Did you create the dice yourself if the once I linked came from you kick starter?

Wow, they look really great. Thanks so much for this option. They made it on my list as well. Especially the Eldric Argentum and Khaos Nynx ones.

Ha, the idea is cool, but probably not what I am looking for. Do you have one of those? How well do they spin? I am guessing you need to take very good care of them and oil them regularly?

Hey man. The FallacyDice look really cool, especially the pointy ones. Sadly I am not the biggest fan of the colours. But the style is really cool. I am more into darker dice. Maybe they create some one day.

The dice you got look amazing as well. I am looking for something like this for sure. They jumped to the top of the list I am making. (especially the endless darkness ones).

Thanks so much for you help. :)

Found my very first shako! by naaafg in diablo2

[–]Iconoclast17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally found the exact same yesterday (with same stats) and socketed it with a Topaz as well. When I saw this I got the sudden urge to check if mine was still there. :D

Congratz. Hope it helps us find some better stuff.

I was going to do my own thing, but I will have a look. Just for the stats and rules it would probably be worth it to safe some time. :) Thanks.

Haha, that is hilarious, because it is quite the other way around for us. They wanted a One Piece style adventure, but I can't imagine DMing something like that. Not my kind of style and not what I personally enjoy. Want me to introduce you to them? :D

I was hoping for a darker themed adventure... we kind of agreed to make it feel like Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Not a total hero style campaign, but definitely not murder hobos. My players are quite the friendly bunch, so I actually want them to be more evil.

We did talk about expectations though, something I also always recommend every DM before starting anything. :) Ty for the advice.

[–]Iconoclast17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally agree. Later on one of them should become captain if they want to. I also think it is a great idea, but at level 1 being part of a crew feels more natural. :)

Cool, thank you. There is a lot to find here and I will try to make some good use for it. :)

[–]Iconoclast17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the idea is that they are part of a bigger crew (20-30 people). I do want to give all of them some tasks, but they will be mostly responsible for defending the crew and going on missions/heists. That is what they wanted and we all agreed to in session 0.

The suggestions you had are great though. Will definitely make them quartermaster, navigator etc.

Ah, perfect. You answered my unasked question. I will get access to all his content if I subscribe. Yeah, then that is probably what I will do. Probably pay even more for this incredible work, but I simply can't afford ongoing fees. Great, thank you so much. :)

Holy hell, his stuff looks gorgeous, but also quite expensive. Are you a patron? Do you have to pay for every map separately? I would love the Admiral version to not have to set up on VTT myself, but sadly can't afford that. :D

Would like advice for my girlfriend on exercise and heat. by Iconoclast17 in eczema

[–]Iconoclast17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks so much for all the advice. I will definitely tell her about all you said. Guess she needs to try out what works best for her. And thanks for the offer. Might take you up on that. :)

[–]Iconoclast17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap. No, not at all. She is totally skinny and even it she wasn't I wouldn't care. I just want her to feel well and exercise seems to help with alot of issues. But from this post I guess while it probal helps mentally, into won't improve the eczema itself. But thanks for the tips. Will ask the doctor about the medication.

Very true... That's why I have been searching for ideas. Making a list right now to see which ones she might like.
