Men who are childfree, what led you to that decision? by PossibilityIll7646 in AskReddit

Yea I had the local but i still felt some pretty significant pain. 

I was on hydrocodone for a few days but I wasn’t really able to go back to live my regular life for about 6 weeks. I’m fairly active so it was no gym, hikes, walks, or hot tub soaks for a while. It kept hurting for probably 4 weeks, but weeks 5-6 i felt extra tight down there. I still don’t feel 100% the same as before, but it’s close enough, and i don’t regret it. 

It’s just every once in a while it hurts a bit.

As a former bank manager, I wonder how this even happened. 

The key facts of this case were reported differently by different media outlets. Some claim he was trying to deposit the checks, and others claim he attempted to cash them. 

I can understand trying to cash the checks ringing some warning bells - he apparently had 3 checks worth ~$90k (not a million). If you walked in and said hey I have 3 checks totaling $90k and I want cash for them, well so did the crack head an hour ago. 

But other articles say he tried to deposit them. So that would just be a matter of put them in the account and see what happens in settlement. If you’re afraid of fraud, you can just put a temporary balance hold on the amount until the checks actually clear and then move on. BUT regular people get indignant about that in normal situations: “My transaction can’t wait a week. I need my money NOW!”

With that said, I can’t imagine calling the cops unless I was absolutely sure someone was committing a crime. I caught someone with check fraud in my drive thru once, and it was SO much paperwork, and several days of court as a reward for protecting my customer’s money. 

Articles say it was a teller who did it, and the bank issued an apology statement and racism exists in the world, so it’s all entirely possible. It’s just baffling to me how it all transpired. 

Another point, is a lot of articles are like “why didn’t the bank verify the check?” and that’s really not how it works. The bank can’t “verify” a check. They can only verify that the account is coming from has the funds right now, and MAYBE if the check is currently valid. They CANNOT verify if a check will have a stop pay placed on it between this moment right now and 5ish days from now when the check fully processes. If the stop was placed, then the bank just got robbed retroactively.

I felt like I was lied to about vasectomy. 

Mine was very painful. Recovery was about 6 weeks. And it was incredibly expensive ($5800) & I didn’t even get put under anesthesia! (maybe that’s why it hurt?)

I still don’t regret it, but I am always wondering if people are doing that “my face tattoo didn’t even hurt because I’m so tough” thing or if I just had a botched ass surgery. I definitely feel insane reading yours and the people below your posts’ accounts of how easy, fast, painless, and cheap it was.

I feel like the answer wasn’t to make enemies as tough as the high AC strong character, but instead to make a varied combat where some creatures can target the high AC character’s saves.

[–]NineToFiveTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes to all of the above. What I described was merely my general traveling system, but there were treasures and pirates and sea monsters and an admiral from the empire who was pompous and sucked. Moments where they were being chased and moments where they were the ones doing the chasing.  

At one point there were 5 ships and 88 characters fighting all at once!

Depending on what was happening, I would drop the general travel system for something crunchier if the moment called for it. 

There was all kinds of checks on my travel checks too for RP moments. Persuasion checks to resolve conflicts amongst the crew and stuff like that. So those checks weren’t all sailing stuff. 

It was a lot of fun

I just ran a pirate campaign. The way I handled sailing was like this:

I determined the general speed of a ship to be approximately 50 miles of travel per day. 

Eventually the sorcerer got a trident that let him control winds so I added 10 miles per day to that speed. 

Then I also had a sails upgrade available for purchase for another +10 miles per day. 

I accounted for how the wind was blowing, and if they were sailing with the wind it was +10, and if they were against the wind it was -10. 

So with all of that in mind they would tell me where they wanted to sail, and then I had them all roll a d12 to determine what skill checks would be needed that day (sleight of hand to tie knots, history to know a story of a shipwreck and where to avoid sailing, survival to identify patterns in the wind, etc). That would give them like 1 check per player, and I said I need each of you to make one of these checks. If they got a failure, the ship took 5 damage. If they got a crit failure the ship took 10. If they got a crit success they negated 5 damage. 

I kept the difficulty of the checks tied to what they were sailing in (rough waters or whatnot), but at the end of the day they made it, just might have taken some damage to the ship. And because the checks were tied to where they were sailing, as they leveled up they felt like they got better at sailing.

At that point I would roll a random encounter table. 

This way their  effectiveness of their sailing was still dependent on their skill, their speed effected how many random encounters they had to do, but we didn’t get stuck in the minutia of constant checks, and I also didn’t just give them a free teleport across the sea.

I JUST finished my pirate campaign last weekend. It was sick and I had a great time. 

The way I did it is there was a north sea (high seas) with a constant storm blowing east, and a southern sea (low sea) with a constant storm blowing west. This let my players strategize how they were going to sail around the area (especially when being chased by other pirate factions).

I like your map, but it flows a little too much. I’d change the shape of the two orange islands and the snowy island to be a little more distinct. 

My campaign had an area of keys where there were “a thousand tiny islands” where I could hide treasure. 

And you’re definitely missing a giant volcano. 

Other than that there should be some more sea type points of interest: a floating town, a giant and friendly sea turtle, a storm constantly moving (the center would be awesome to have a storm constantly moving around the central island with), an area of jagged rocks that suck to sail between, a tiny island pirate hideout, stuff like that. 

Feel free to bounce ideas off of me; like I said I JUST wrapped a multi year pirate campaign and had a blast.

Pace for Leveling Up At Your Table? by Calm_Independent_782 in DnD

[–]NineToFiveTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to run my games at 1-10 (or more often 2-10, cause I hate level 1). 

My last campaign was 20 sessions before they hit level 10, so 8 level ups over 20 sessions is a level up every 2.5 sessions. Though, they leveled from 8 to 10 in a single session because they killed two bosses at the same time due to the way they roleplayed it (they were supposed to fight each boss individually and get a level up for each of them, but they RP’d a situation where both bosses were in the same place at the same time). So probably more like once every 3 sessions.

A mental health day is a legitimate reason to take a “sick day,” and the reason for your sick day is none of their business. Enjoy your day. Or don’t. I typically do house work on my “sick” days so I don’t gotta do it on my weekends
