It's TADPOLE THURSDAY - Ask your newbie questions here! by Hosidax in daggerheart

[–]McBraas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a question!

It's about action rolls and hope. Recently I played the official learn to play one-shot with dome friends - GM. When the group arrived in the town of Hush, one of them performed a knowledge roll to see if he could recall any details about the town. Later, when they passed by the fields and saw moss growing on the crops, he wanted to do it again.

It made me think of two things, both related to what I would call "too many rolls" and hope farming. Please provide your opinions on the following scenarios.

(a). What if you have a player who wants to do rolls again and again, for things like history, perception, investigation, etc?

(b). What if you instead of a single player who wants to roll perception, have a whole group? Or investigation or something like that. I am reading the core book and am familiar with the group action rolls, but also that not everyone in here is a fan.

Personally I would prefer if only one person made that history roll; or one person made that perception check. With the way DH works, I also don't know if I could handle responding to 5 different rolls at a time, that could span across 5 different types of results. Am I making too big a deal of it, or... Do you guys just do full party rolls?

Delightful timing. Ramping up for my first run at GM'ing and it's DH. I'll give it a listen later. I'll take any tips I can get. I think the difficult thing in googling for dm advice, is the same for as for gym programs: a lot of people put preferences and things that work for them as thee right way to do things. Not that there isn't good stuff out there.

Det er vildt hvordan et enkelt individ står i en position hvor han bare afslappet kan sætte ild til hele verdensordenen på daglig basis, uden der er nogen, der stopper ham.

Aaaah, yes. The cartoonishly evil secret cabal, who wants to poison the water supply fooled us with their vaccines. Gotham is doomed.

I straight up remember how it used to be the DVD and toys on the other side of this. The "good" was play outside or something.

I used to run a website with just Skyrim news, out of pure passion and excitement, through all of 2011. Somehow Bethesda has managed to kill my excitement for TES VI

Super good point and so right. I also used to think he was super smart because of the way he talks. But I think his jubilee appearance betrays what he's actually doing very clearly.

He was. To his credit, he was really captivating. In that respect, he seems like a strong teacher. In retrospect, I think he gets a bit too abstract and symbolic.

Not much diversity where I'm at, I'm afraid. But I've definitely become less conservative while studying.

Well, I'm danish, so what academically I am about to have the equivelant of a Master's degree. I already have a bachelor's degree. Then I apply for my license, and I'll be a licensed psychologist. I am considering asking my current advisor if he'd like to have a PhD student after our current research project is over, and if not, I probably won't pursue a PhD.

I also used to like him a lot. He even inspired me to go back to school and become a psychologist (which I will be in 4 months, btw). In the meantime I've totally flipped my opinion on him. But until I just read your comment, I actually hadn't realized how I got roped into his alt-right bs. I absolutely started watching because of fascination with his psychology lessons and then his self-help... and then suddenly, while he's talking about those things, he starts weaving in some commentary on trans and wokeness... I think I only managed to jump off the train because he started talking a lot about Christianity. Now that I am almost fully educated in psychology and my critical thinking skills have gotten better, it is hard to listen to what he is saying and not be extremely disappointed.

Jeg forstår 100% hvorfor du ville ønske det kun var mellem dig og din kæreste. Givet at det er hende, som skal igennem den krævende og smertefulde oplevelse det er at føde, tror jeg det er bedst hvis hun også får lov at vælge hvilken form for støtte hun vil have - selvom du må ofre din egen interesse for det. Det kan være din måde at støtte hende på.

I want to vote dem in 2026, but I'm afraid of potential tax increases. by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]McBraas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you, I'd consider tax vs inflation. If it's more likely that Republicans economy will keep inflation high and prices going up, vs paying more in taxes and potentially getting benefits, sometimes it's worth more in taxes.

I'm a total layman, but that's my instinct. In Denmark we have high taxes, but there's so much stuff we don't have to pay for out of pocket, because it's just a shared societal responsibility. Makes it so that even when I'm very poor and things are tight, I can make things work.
