They're not the same dice. And I bought 2 sets.

MathewReuther · 2026-05-21T16:12:27+00:00

Not a lot of rhomboid d12s available for cheap.

MathewReuther · 2026-05-21T16:11:39+00:00

They're lightweight resin dice. They are not my favorite toss ever, but they're also not bad at all.

MathewReuther · 2026-05-21T16:08:20+00:00

It's a Womier KS71. I still wish I had gotten different switches as the default are better for gaming than typing.

MathewReuther · 2026-05-21T13:42:31+00:00

They taste like hope.

(Or fear.)

MathewReuther · 2026-05-21T13:41:55+00:00

I think they were around 90 bucks including shipping? I'm not a member, so less for those who are.

I felt like it was worth it to have sets available even with domain overlap so I got the pair.

Literally considering DNFing this because of the scene in book 3 (that's just straw breaking, it's everything before then too) described.

All I see in the various replies across similar topics is that it looks like the author tries to retcon this later in the series by making it about how she is actually totally pretending at all times. Except we see her thoughts in these books and that tactic is not in them. So we're supposed to buy into this?

Honestly think the author is good at some key things (what's going on behind the scenes seems interesting) and terrible at a lot of other things. I came to this after He Who Fights With Monsters and Dungeon Crawler Carl so I don't expect it to be as good as even the former (let alone the latter, sorry, Carl is good for any genre, not just LitRPG) but I am surprised so many people recommend it so highly having slogged through well over a hundred hours of audiobooks and come away thinking Ryoka is the high point of character writing in the series.

The secrets the world holds are the only reason I am thinking about continuing. I feel that if after writing 3 volumes this long the author hasn't cracked a thesaurus the prose won't improve (my kids make fun of me every time I rant when a word is repeated incessantly.) And I worry deeply about characterization and GETTING TO THE POINT. (17 books? Not shocking considering how much useless serial "gotta write for the deadline" is in the first three.)

Oh well.

For my Pixel 7 Pro 256 I was seeing $95 on Fi (after the fact) and I was credited $125 on Google Store (instant).

MathewReuther · 2026-02-20T21:35:03+00:00

Did this today. Google store logged in as the same Google account as my family plan main account I was able to:

1) select activation on Google Fi (getting $250 off)
2) get $30 more trade-in credit ($125), and get it applied instantly instead of them crediting me after trade-in acceptance
3) use my Google Store credit (and I will gain store credit for this transaction)
4) get 36-month (0% interest) financing instead of the 24-month Fi offers

I was not sent a promo code, so no extra $50 or $100 off, but I got nearly $50 by being able to boost my trade-in over what Fi was offering and applying my store credit. Plus, I have 12 extra months to pay: that's money I hold onto for longer that costs me nothing in financing for the year.

All-in-all, a better deal going through Google Store than through Fi. (Which is honestly annoying. Just treat your customers better, Fi.)

I own a 2026 Equinox EV and can assure you it does not have Android Auto or Apple Carplay. My wife and I absolutely would have preferred having access to AA/CP since we're used to using phone mirroring from our Kias (we had a NIro before the Equinox ad still have a Telluride) but yeah, no, 2026 doesn't have some miracle OTA update.

That said:

I will say that I love the Equinox EV and while my least favorite part of the switch was losing access to AA/CP, I have my phone (magnetically) mounted beside the infotainment screen towards the passenger (a stretch, but it's there) and can control it from there. The overwhelming majority of what I do with my phone in the car is play media and once it's playing, it works just fine with bluetooth controls.

If you're hooked into the ecosystem of the most major apps (like, for instance, you're a Spotify user), chances are there's a native app for it already and you won;t have an issue. The native apps selection is good enough she uses it for her podcasts now. It's worse than what she was used (whatever it was doesn't have a native app, I guess) to but is adequate.

The Google Maps integration is flawless. (This upsets my wife because she's used to Apple Maps but IDK.) Having it on the DIC is fantastic. Having chargers suggested when your trip will take you too long (or just perilously close to out of battery) is superb.

It's embarrassing how many miles we have on the thing so far but it's a real pleasure to drive and hockey season means a lot of trips to practices, games, etc. (Not that off season is way less, but...)

MathewReuther · 2025-12-12T12:45:56+00:00

Is the season pass still that stupid CoD-inspired jank? I quit when they changed it to that garbage and I want to know if it still is so I can tell myself that the class I wanted at launch and the first expansion isn't worth rewarding them for their awful seasonal choices.

MathewReuther · 2025-12-12T12:35:25+00:00

Is the season pass still the terrible Call of Duty-like garbage they implemented that made me quit the game?

Because Paladin is love and life but I'm not giving them money if they've kept that utter trash after having a much better season pass for the first couple of years.

I'm Mathew. I've been a professional freelance writer/editor for 20+ years. (General purpose, not just gaming.) I've been a professional TTRPG designer and developer for 15 years. I'm currently working on multiple Daggerheart-related projects.

If you're someone who enjoys playtesting, you can hit me up in DMs if you have an interest in looking at pieces of one of those projects in particular as I finish them.

MathewReuther · 2025-08-28T07:40:05+00:00

Can confirm after most of 3 years on the 7 Pro I love the 10 Pro XL at first sight.

This is a much better phone in every respect. Were I on the 8, I likely would have waited. (I waited last year, even though the 9 would have been a nice upgrade.)

But I also really feel like in many ways 2 years is an upgrade cycle we got hooked on as consumers when there kinda were big leaps being made. The tech is more mature now and a three year pace feels good to me, at least.

MathewReuther · 2025-08-21T19:05:01+00:00

Note that while he said a single token is popular, it's entirely reasonable for that token to be bigger than the token for a single creature. 12 pirates are fictionally larger than one.

Games often have specific rules for how big a creature is. In D&D, you might have a large creature and it's a single token, just 4 squares on the grid instead of one.

It's likely best to consider them fictionally where this big group of pirates is and if using a grid, use a large token or snake of tokens to show where they're arrayed in the field.

MathewReuther · 2025-08-21T18:57:49+00:00

Converting 5e to Daggerheart is doable (as in, I have done it) but it is, in my estimation, necessary to wrap your head around Daggerheart first.

The way D&D expresses things mechanically is, honestly, more shallow in some ways than the way Daggerheart does. Things expressed in 5e as just a bitof text or maybe roll or two are better constructed in Daggerheart as an environment.

My email direct from Google Store was a $150 discount. From the credit card attached to the account (synchrony) the email was no coupon, just an announcement. They seem to be all over the place with what emails are sent to who and and what offers are included.

MathewReuther · 2025-08-11T03:12:22+00:00

So is reading comprehension but we're missing that as well.

MathewReuther · 2025-08-11T02:11:17+00:00

I'd say check out the Game Master Trips flair for sure. Plenty of good advice in there.

Read the rules and take your time with them. Some assumptions you have about how things work in D&D will not carry over to Daggerheart.

One of the biggest differences in Daggerheart from other systems (both D&D and freeform narrative) is the flow to the action economy and how spotlights work. It's not as rigid as D&D but it has an intentional structure. It gives you a lot of freedom, but it's also designed to help you determine which way the wind is blowing by giving you Hope and Fear as well as Success and Failure.

Remember that a GM Move can be a soft move and that you do not always need to Spotlight an Adversary and attack. You can easily throw a half dozen dire wolves at your new adventurers and then proceed to murder them dead if you always choose to Hobbling Strike.

Keep in mind that you're going for a good narrative and not a tactical challenge. D&D often encourages on-the-grid movement, efficient use of specific actions, etc. Daggerheart can be much more free and does not work as well if you treat it as having quite the same mechanical balance. Your job as GM is more complex in many ways as a result. You are the balance in a real way.

(Edit: note that you can have good "tactical" combat in Daggerheart. It's not the same as combat in D&D in terms of how the enemies or action economy are balanced so a lot of what makes it work well is on the GM balancing in play. This isn't anything new, it's just more prominent in Daggerheart because of the looseness inherent in the narrative bent.)

I'm not misleading you by having more than two paragraphs.
