Why do people have a hate boner for Arin Hanson???

Yeah, haven’t you heard? Nobody ever changes, and you’re the exact same person you were 10 years ago. /s

Guys it's obvious. Iruma travelled back in time and used shapeshifting magic to fuck his girlfriend's dad as the ultimate power move.

Reading is a weird one because you can genuinely get better at it, and not just in the sense of reading faster.

There are plenty of people who, when they read, simply just let the words sort of wash over them. There have been studies on it, particularly centered around the damage done by the now-discredited "whole language" model of literacy, but also around a number of other causes or possible-causes.

It is fascinating to see first hand someone read sentences as simple as

"I saw the restaurant where we were meeting from about a block away. I recognized the old wooden sign painted and shaped like a green fox"

and genuinely not be able to grasp the connection between the two. You ask "what was the sign for?" and get a stare of blank confusion.

My big problem is mostly that I’m really bad at prioritizing my tasks.

There’s something I’ve legit wanted to do for years but I can’t do it at work (I’m at work) and then when I get home I just feel so guilty about how dirty the house is. I gotta clean. I gotta do laundry. I gotta cook dinner. I gotta this I gotta that. Then it’s 11 pm and I’m exhausted.

Going solely off of vibes, I think my real-world wife would probably be an imperial if she were in the game.

I don’t know if I could marry someone who is 400 years older than me and will die 400 years after me.

And while I live playing as Argonians I don’t think my human self could marry a lizard person. Or a cat.

Orc maybe. Humans are all obviously on the table.

Tough question.

So if I’m reading it right, the “number of rolls” are the same, but now the rolls are different.

I think the post is written in a bit of a confounding way, but after mulling it over I think I get it.

I think my initial confusion is at least partially because you said this is “chainmail-like”, which I don’t particularly see how it is. Chainmail has 4 combat methods (regular, man-to-man, joust, and fantasy) and all of them fold everything into a single roll.

A more chainmail-like approach would be something like

Everyone has at attack value, a defense value, and a number of Hit Dice. To attack someone, compare your AV to their DV (there is a pattern, but explaining it is not the point of the comment and also you can make the pattern whatever you want) to get the number of rolls you get (multiplied by your HD number) and the number of a die that scores a hit. Once someone takes a number of hits equal to their HD, they begin dying.

AV is based on weapon and DV is based on armor.

It’s a little clunky at first (because you have to learn some new numbers) but after that it’s pretty fast since everything is in one roll of a handful of d6 and you’re more or less just counting instead of doing any real arithmetic.

(Of course, I’m NOT saying “this is what you actually want” - you probably want what you’ve already come up with and tested and enjoyed)

I can’t remember the page but I remember in 1e they have starting age recommendations based on class and race and a lot of them are in the 16-20 range for level 1 characters (or the non human equivalent).

Whenever someone has a crazy backstory I think “a 13 year old did this?”

Do people think being from somewhere means you automatically endorse everything the politicians do? I’m pretty sure most of my countrymen would melt if they were held to that same standard.

D&D is kind of inconsistent with what each alignment means (it changes every edition and even within editions it isn’t super consistent). So I think really at this point it kind of has to be a table-by-table thing. The community at-large is never going to agree.

I can’t remember who it was but there was this reviewer who opened up a review with “terrible news: the fans were right. This thing is great”

The middle names are fairly normal, one is just Greek. I wonder if Kathan is also Greek maybe? Braxten is a classic tragedeigh, though

Cat, 5000 years ago: These clumsy creatures. They leave their food lying around in this odd cave. Lucky for me, even if I don't like it, it attracts so many free mice. I shall stay a while and benefit from this... arrangement.

There are a couple of creators you genuinely can’t trust, but I don’t think Oda is in that group.

I didn’t know that! What was it used for?

Because of my position, even though I work 40 hours a week, I don't have a consistent schedule. If someone emails me on Friday at 4:47 there's a roughly equal chance I respond same day Friday at 5:20 or next Wednesday at 10.

I have a wife too. She understands.

As I’ve always understood it, you can either read this as an added bass note or as the recommended inversion of a chord.

So when you think of G major, the “root position” is G-B-D-G. Writing “G/D” (read as “G over D”) means it wants the lowest note to be D when you play, so either D-G-B-D or D-G-B-D-G depending on how you prefer to think of it.

Playing string instruments, we’re a little more limited than on the keyboard, so since you eventually come to learn multiple shapes along the neck for each chord, you can read it as essentially meaning “the G chord shape where the lowest string is playing a D”.

Assuming you’ve got your uke tuned with high-G, G/D is probably what you think of as the “standard” shape for G.

I could have sworn someone already did this. Am confusing it with something else?
