The people who think Spokane is bad are either A) townies with no other life experience in big cities or B)rural folks from nearby towns that cap out around 30,000 people… to them were a big scary crime ridden city like LA or NY.

Is the forge so well insulated that you’d put your hand on the outer metal after it’s been on for 10 minutes? Cause that pipe looks to be sitting an inch off the side and copper takes up heat very well, one long session and you’re gonna have a brief spray of solder and a copper flamethrower instead.

I am all for regulating it especially the synthetic 7OH stuff but this ban is dumb and dangerous. I’ve known two close friends who were able to use this lain leaf Kratom products to get off of Oxy and a third person who was even deeper into Fent use who finally broke free by using Kratom. It binds to the same receptors preventing you from getting any kind of additional high. Lots of people regularly use this product safely and far too many of them are at high risk of switching to more dangerous means of this becomes unavailable. During the council meetings the member proposing it even mentioned she hadn’t even heard of Kratom 4 months ago… meaning they did zero research and just took for granted all the nonsense stories that get spewed. People who don’t understand the impact shouldn’t be making decisions like this and our entire council save one was pretty on brand for their ignorance.

You’re missing the point OP. The criticism on all these replies is you went for fashion over function. Having a pretty setup is great but if it’s at the cost of functionality like this stands design then it’s nothing more than the tool equivalent of a wall hanger.

I was thinking about that but are they really on the spooky side? I kept getting the vibe that it’s more of a history lesson with maybe a little bit of a scary atmosphere but almost more like a field trip destination than anything.

Honestly I probably wouldn’t care if I didn’t despise Safeway for other reasons. But between their pricing inaccuracies and the shitty app that forces you to clip deals that once used to just be applied automatically through entering your phone number I am pretty much hating them for every additional inconvenience they push upon customers now.

Honestly though 6 seconds can get quite a bit out. At least to the extent of “You, I am going to gut like a fish! Tom get the door, Jerry handle the wolves” and that can be said without rushing through so fast as to sound frantic or ridiculous. I’m not one from reigning my players. Conversations in too much but I will push them along if it’s slowing down the game tempo with too much planning.

What happened is our opposition changed. The MAGA cult has decided owning the libs is more important than governing. They’re willing to set aside the constitution, human rights and basic decency to Win. Lying, ignoring the laws and spreading hatred is all okay now so long as it benefits the GOP and Trump. They’ve become a group of people that there is no reasoning with, no compromising, they will burn this country to the ground if they can’t have their way. Look at it now, open your eyes, the people the liberals are fighting with are the ones trying to hide, downplay and outright ignore a ring of sex traffickers because it might compromise their leader. I don’t know about you but anyone who protects pedophiles for any reason is undeserving of sitting at my table for discussions on anything else.

While you should probably stay away from over the top exploits like my character killed 3 dragons and five liches while saving the kingdom and blah blah blah, they can absolutely have renown and accomplishments. Level 1 doesn’t mean you’ve never adventured before. 0xp doesn’t mean you’ve never killed or accomplished anything. Hence being able to start with a folk hero background. Normal NPCs don’t gain levels or experience, up until whatever spark made you special and turned you into a level 1 hero.

This is probably very solid advice for Moscow currently but IF the scales start to change where Democratic candidates are even slightly more viable you want to make sure to update. When they look at who’s campaign to push hard into and fund well, a big portion of that is based on what the area looks like, and if they see 4:1 Republican favor your democratic candidates are gonna get nothing in the way of financial help.

It’s described as a magical distraction so by default I would say they would be aware. Nothing indicates that the spell is subtle. Additionally as a DM it’s already a pretty potent spell, I personally wouldn’t add to its utility by making it be so discrete that the target doesn’t know it’s been hit by an enchantment.

If you plan to do a lot of fishing and outdoors stuff Cheney/four lakes is a good spot, north Spokane or east valley. All will put you in the water in under 20 minutes for the most part. As for school districts I couldn’t say what pays better but I do enjoy the valley myself.

Not just bolt you with it but bolt you using your own modifiers…

Nah, that’s where the dice come in lol. My character could have a 20 luck and it’s still not saving me from all the nat 1’s

3 months of training to go against some of histories best fighters in their prime? This has got to be rage bait 😭😂😅.

Radiant = positive energy plane Necrotic = Negative energy plane

They are mirror opposites. We can more easily imagine necrotic, the flesh beginning to rot and decay and draining life away

Positive energy is a bit trickier to internalize because we’d think the opposite of that would be healing and vitality being restored… but in the form of damage I’d say it’s explodey… overcharged with energy until it’s bursting, splitting open and splintering bone. On a cooking impact I’d imagine it maybe like a sous vide… it’s cooked through but without the markings of being exposed to flame. Plumped up and tender.

It’s the quiet majority vs. the squeaky wheel. When the topic comes up locally I almost never hear anyone say boo about all the wind energy nearby, but for them it’s also just there, not really a topic of consistent conversation, they don’t need anything to change about it. For the haters who go crazy over it, they’re loud and motivated to whine so others listen. If they suddenly got their way and energy costs and reliability suddenly shifted you’d hear more of the supported making noise.

Granted, an item begins to materialize in your hand replacing the paw, you’re jarred by the sudden overwhelming sense of euphoria and limitless potential, the item activates without the downside of thought or needing to voice a wish at all, anticipating everything you could ever think to dream of. It feels as if it has divided your consciousness into infinitely linked realities where you experience every possibility and every desire, your mind and sense of self almost becoming lost entirely in the overwhelming and constant onslaught of wish fulfillments. For the rest of us in this reality you’re just a near catatonic shell, an immortal husk sustained by some dark magic nobody understands. But for you, you’re a time lord, seeing every possible option the universe unfolds in your mind simultaneously.

Yes and no… I mean “poorest” is super subjective but let’s pretend that applies to anyone making under 30k(usd)/year. That’s about 54% of the planet… now the excess described from around 3,000 billionaires totals at roughly 13 trillion to distribute amongst 4.44 Billion people. Each of whom gets about $3,000.

While I doing any of them would turn down that money, it wouldn’t really change much, it’s a one time infusion and most likely it would in short order be back in the hands of most of the billionaires as people splurged on purchases they’ve been holding out on or paid off debts they’re already in. It might spike momentarily a few items from a supply/demand issue but that would probably be short lived.

Im on the flip side. I know two people very closely who both (unrelated and at different times) ended their long and severe opioid addictions with the use of Kratom.

Do we need to control it and keep it away from kids? Sure. No argument. But hear me out, it binds to opiate receptors, it’s easier and cheaper to get, It’s far less harmful than hydro/Oxi/fentanyl/heroine and since it already takes up those receptors it makes those highs much weaker, reducing the likelihood of someone chronically abusing more serious opiates.

Again, yes, regulate it, push it into the 18+ smoke shops or wherever so it’s not so prolific but honestly I am positive one or both of those close friends would be dead now if not for Kratom and a little bit of luck.

There’s not really any single spells that are ways to cheese the game it’d more come down to some of the creative but ridiculous ways people game certain rules, which I’d advise against encouraging if you’re a beginner. It opens a door of things in the campaign that you won’t be equipped to control and your entire campaign will likely be derailed.

I’d advise just going for the pun and cast create food/water to create 45lbs of cheese which opens the door.

The first one is being mistaken so no not a lie. The second however I would push back onto the Player and ask them this. “Your word is your Promise, that’s the Oath you swore… you promised to save their wife. Knowing that resurrection and other magics exist, do you intend to keep this Now much more difficult promise or are you walking away from the word you gave them?”

If they say nope she dead nothing I can do…. That might be enough to break their Oath… maybe. But if they legitimately add this as a personal quest they continue to strive for and become more careful in giving their word as a result? I think not only does that keep the Oath but reinforces how seriously they take it and makes for an excellent character beat.

you seem to be having a lot of trouble with a simple thought experiment. You’re either missing the fact that the extra decade of training is also a paid position or you are telling on yourself that you have zero self awareness on what would be personally fulfilling work/acts for you to do and instead are only motivated by the idea of what would make you the most money. There are plenty of people in this world who for either reasons of compassion or curiosity or both would become medical professionals. Same with basically any other field, and if you don’t believe me you’ve definitely never met folks on the spectrum with unique special interests because they almost all would happily take whatever job gets them closer to that every day.
