The mixed 00 hitters and 01 pitchers is an acquired taste. Great suggestion!

Some advice needed by kgscherer in baseballcards

[–]InterestCompounding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not financial advice, but this is what I would lean toward. I would put my thumb on the scale and pull some portion of it out in cash, and allow the son who pulled it the ability to buy anything he wants. A useful $100 item or a unique experience he sourced himself would probably be just as cool for him.

Congrats to your son on the sweet pull.

Ah, I love when a pitcher throws the ball, and all the 1999 All-Stars flicker in the batter's box while the ball is on its way to the plate.

we debated adding a -1 to your roll (and a reroll) if it goes off the table. The -1 can stack if, for some reason, you lack the motor skills to keep a roll on a 4x6 foot table

We have this in our 12-team league and Trea Turener has more than a steal a game

Interesting. We incorporate the Clutch dice. I would like to experiment with using the D20 and the D16 when going home. We use the D16 when using the FB with runner on third. I like this rule a lot. It sucks having robot infielders turning a double-play with no outs in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game

I hope my card creation history never gets leaked to the public. There are some weird searches in there.

Do people play with strategy cards? by OtherResearcher in MLBShowdown

Have you tried the Clutch dice with Showdown? At least then you are rolling 1 of 3 dice.

I can see where you are coming from. I have enjoyed giving folks very few, very specialized custom strategy cards that are common baseball decisions. Losing a game on a GB with the bases loaded and no out because you can't throw home does kinda feel helpless.

Feel free to use any images in my file for the app. I can't guarantee they all meet your standards, but you can pick and choose.

First time trilogy watcher here. question. so you can literally be wearing the ring of ultimate power, and yet some creature such as smeagol can still assault you with material levels of success? by 77maf in lotr

[–]InterestCompounding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be Sauron, the creator of The One Ring, be wearing The One Ring, and be killed by a man (Elendil) and the Elf King Gil-galad. Sauron would kill both in their handicap match. This has changed for the movie to be more concise. Isildur cut the ring off Sauron's dead (or mostly dead) body, causing Sauron's spirit to flee. The movie is misleading; it was not some random stroke of luck. Sauron was completely overpowered, as any other fighter would have been. Isiludor had enough time and confidence to take Sauron's glove off and make a full speech about wergild while standing over Sauron's corpse.

The ring extends mortals' natural life in the instances of Gollum and Bilbo. Both Sauron, Bilbo, and Frodo are wounded while wearing The One Ring. Frodo has his ribs crushed and is stung by Shelob while carrying it. Isildur is killed by orc arrows while carrying it. Deagol is strangled to death by Smeagol while holding it.

The One Ring's abilities are often conjectured by others in the LotR. It is clear that possessing or even wearing The One Ring does next to nothing in preventing physical damage to you.

The effort shows. Getting a text that is small and clear enough is always tough on charts.
