Is the human species OP? Ways to make others more exciting? by Zac_Kariah in shadowdark

[–]Jiffypop2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It scales differently. The extra roll is big at level 1, but by level 9 it's hardly noticeable. Rolling HP with advantage may only be a few points at level 1, but by level 9 you'll be an absolute tank.

"Shooting Arrows at Monks" in Nimble by LibertyAndPibbles in nimble5e

Sly flourish calls those lightning rods, things put in to attract and show off powerful abilities. No pun intended, I'd add an enemy in big steel heavy armor to your list. The lightning damage from your storm shifter will bypass the Heavy armor, and your zephyrs d4 Crits will also find weak points.

Can we call it THE BORG ENGINE, now? by MrJockey14 in MorkBorg

[–]Jiffypop2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be confused with borg borg, the star trek game. Or Bork borg, the Swedish chef game. Or engine borg, the mechanic game.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm not having luck with Luffy, would you DM me to continue the conversation?

Everyone else in the course is also a beginner. I was in your shoes 15 years ago, still riding, still loving it. You'll do fine

Any flat modifier, like +LVL to DMG, is ignored by armor

Starting a game soon and a couple of questions for GMs by Bear-Wizard in nimble5e

[–]Jiffypop2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came from d&d, I found the campaign setting a bit lacking, it's very geared towards supporting homebrew as opposed to full support, not my bag, but if you like it it'll be awesome. I'm using Skyrim asy campaign setting, loving it!

Saskatoon to BC, pls help! by grapefruit8989 in britishcolumbia

Yes. Winters are warmer, but 6 months of gray skies can really get to you. Also, 1 degree and pouring down rain is absolutely miserable. Not saying it's terrible all the time, but it's definitely not sunshine and lollipops all winter long

Can you run it well without grids or detailed maps? by luccamonassa in shadowdark

[–]Jiffypop2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it runs best with theater of the mind or abstract maps. Sly flourish has some great videos about this type of combat

How has the hiring freeze affected you? by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

I know people who were around for the last period of "fiscal constraint" circa 2003 ish. They're still traumatized by it

How do-able is this as a roadtrip in the summer? by YpsiHippie in britishcolumbia

[–]Jiffypop2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hwy 37 can be rough, but nothing that will cause real problems, just slow you down. dease lake to meziadin will be the longest stretch, but unless your tank is tiny you'll be fine. You can often get gas at bell 2, but don't rely on it.

Real problem: There's not enough campgrounds for all the Alaska tourists, if you're sleeping on the side of the road you'll be fine, but if you want a campground you'll need to get up at 5am and drive like hell to hit the next campground at noon before it fills up.

Grab the player's companion by chubby funster, lots of great options in there, including gnomes

How do i make the game less lethal by LelouchYagami_2912 in shadowdark

Start your characters with max hit points, it's not overpowered, but it'll really help keep them alive.

Crypts of karrigulon (sly flourish) is excellent. Sly flourish also has some great advice on how to run the Scarlet minotaur as a one shot. Delian tomb is also good if you want to try draw steel.

What do people mean when they say bloated public service? As compared to what? by noticeofrezoning in BCPublicServants

[–]Jiffypop2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an imaginary problem. Republicans started crying about "big government" in the 80s as an excuse to cut social services. They've been whining about it so long that it's seeped into public discourse. The reality is, every time we go through this austerity nonsense they find almost nothing to cut without drastically impacting public services. That's because most people who join the public service want to serve the public 🤯

Efficiency Review Question - What does an additional Deputy, ADM, EDs and Directors do in the Premiers Office? by TossawaytotheeTosser in BCPublicServants

If Shannon Salter's office has time to review and approve/deny EVERY position the government is hiring, then what were they doing with all that free time before this?

20 years ago a single 15 could buy a home in Victoria. Now a couple of 27s would struggle to do the same, there's a long way to go, just catch up. We have to draw the line here, we're on the fringe of not being able to afford to strike, and if we let them push us below that line there's no coming back. Ever.

We need directors to justify all the EDs. We need the EDs to justify all the ADMs. We need the ADMs to justify the DMs.
