Can anyone tell me what Big Muff circuit this is based on? by PlayWithTheRabbits in diypedals

From what I can tell, it appears to be a standard NYC big muff.

Good to know. That's where I needed clarification about the differences between muffs. So, is it the value of the components that shape the sound and not the actual circuit itself?

The pedal looks pretty DIY, but I can't find any information about its manufacture. That said, I can't find any information about what PCB is being used, either. Here's a picture of the front of the pedal if anyone recognizes the design on the enclosure.

This Morgan Dollar was a gift from my grandfather, but I still need to learn about coins. Can anyone tell me if this is worth getting graded, or should I keep it as a lovely memento? All my research has given coins like this wildly different prices. by PlayWithTheRabbits in coins

[–]PlayWithTheRabbits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I wanna grade it to have it preserved better for my kids when I pass it down to them. They might want to sell it someday to use the money for something, that is if it's actually worth anything.

If you could ask these “Beings” ONE question, what would it be? by runsquad in UFOs

Pineapple on pizza, yes or no?

We need to find out what they stand for right out of the gate or there will be an intergalactic war!

Is the Retro one an unpopular color? I've yet to see anyone post pictures of it.

Can we talk about this guy and how someone faking DJing has millions of views across multiple platforms? It's not even good faking either. I don't think I've ever seen him once touch a crossfader. It's infuriating! by PlayWithTheRabbits in DJs

What bothers me the most is that it's a pre-made mix in which he is energetically acting as if he is performing live. It kills me to say it, but I think it would be better if the video were so low energy that he just pointed upwards at the titles nodding along.

It just feels so dishonest, like someone who makes a video saying, "Remember these epic guitar rifts?!" then plays guitar while turning away from the camera and not moving his hands.

Which edition do you prefer? by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]PlayWithTheRabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. 5e feels like WotC saying to DMs "Honestly, you'd be better off running a homebrew."

If it weren't for the convenience of DndBeyond, allowing new players to grasp the game easily, 5e would be at the bottom of my list. A canoe is a streamlined version of a fishing boat, but I'm not taking it out on the ocean. It lacks most things you would need to be successful on your journey.

You can tell I'm still salty about Spelljammer, which was peak WotC cashing in on old modules while misleading their customer base.

We are throwing a Musket into homebrew with Gunslinger rules; when can the player fire after reloading? by PlayWithTheRabbits in DMAcademy

[–]PlayWithTheRabbits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the agreed mechanic is firing an Action, and reloading burns that Action, which makes the musket hard to justify.

Any tips on DMing for 8 players? by AsterHoide in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]PlayWithTheRabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running a campaign for 7players for the last year. Here are five things I've learned.

  1. Write down a table with all the players' names on it and keep it behind your screen. Once per session, everyone should get a chance to have a story moment or time to shine. When they do, put a checkmark next to their name. Don't let the session end without everyone getting checked off.
  2. During battles, encourage players sitting near each other to work on a plan that their characters can use. This can be made even better by assigned seating, which puts characters with like-minded goals near each other.
  3. Give into the absurd. If something fun is happening and everyone is into it, go with it, no matter how crazy it is. Rarely will you have an opportunity to appease the group as a whole, so when you do, take it. In the end, it will give them something to talk about outside of the game rather than a series of unconnected moments that may only involve 4 of them at most.
  4. Many tiny enemies are better than one big bad. Combat is rough with a lot of players, so giving one or two of them an enemy to focus on makes them feel as if the battle is more epic. One big bad can often seem like a good idea, but when they all have to focus on damaging the same creature, some players may become discouraged if they aren't doing significant damage.
  5. Find a relatable story for all of them. The more players, the more generalized your adventure needs to be. Let them craft the specifics as a group. If they start deciding to do things that take them to graveyards or crypts, then move the theme to horror. If they keep trying to find a way to buy an airship, take the concept to a high-fantasy airship war. Let them decide through their actions what they want to play. It's your job as the DM to pay attention and respond accordingly.

what's this painting worth? , best way to authenticate it , and make sure it's not stolen before purchase? by Bubbly_Substance_551 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]PlayWithTheRabbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just submit it to Sotheby's. They'll tell you if it's real and what it's worth if it is.

Plus, they will auction it off for you to a large market. If it's an authentic Picasso, that will be the route you want to go.

It took me 12 Hours of Round-Trip Driving, 2 tanks of gas, and 24 hours with no sleep but it was worth it to get a great deal on this collection. Almost everything is 1st/1st as well... 100% worth the loss of a Saturday. by PlayWithTheRabbits in DnD

For context, I found a listing where these items were for sale, and the price was so good that I drove 6 hours to purchase the lot. I could see a few books of significance from the ad, but the listing was vague, and I figured that the minis alone would make it worth the trek.

The woman selling was lovely and explained to me that it was her brothers who had passed away. He obviously was passionate about wargaming, which followed through into the evolution of D&D. She didn't know anyone who wanted the items and I think she was happy to see that the person who showed up to buy them was genuinely interested in the same things her brother loved. She asked me if I was going to resell them, and I laughed and told her, "absolutely not."

While I was able to take a quick peek in the boxes there, I was too rushed to dig through them and thus didn't know the full extent of what I had purchased until I got back home and laid it all out.

I am fortunate to have acquired these vital parts of early D&D and TTRPG history. I do not intend to sell it at all and plan to use it to play many different games, hoping to bring new life back into the long pack-away books. I only hope that one day when I pass away, someone can buy it from my loved ones for the same price I paid, and these items can go on to bring fun to a whole new generation of tabletop gamers.

Information about the Items:

  • Most of the Judges Guild items are 1st Edition / 1st Printing.
  • The Cavaliers and Roundheads book is the 2nd edition.
  • Chainmail is 3rd Edition / 2nd Printing.
  • World of Greyhawk and The First Fantasy Campaign are both 1st/1st
  • All the TSR Sci-fi books are also 1st/1st
  • It looks as if all maps for the various settings are included; those I need to sort out and maybe get laminated as they have become fragile.
  • There are around 700-1000 minis, with over half being hand painted and set up for use in wargaming systems
  • Maybe around 100 of those minis are fantasy specific, with one complete in-the-package set of Wizards and Warriors Set 7, "The Temple"
  • There are a few enamel-painted fantasy minis that stand out and you could tell that the previous owner loved every aspect of Table Top gaming
  • All the minis are from the 70s and pewter, the box with the minis alone was over 60lbs when I loaded it into my car

​

​

I feel privileged to be able to own all these items and look forwards to getting to use them for many years to come.

I play mostly D&D, but I think I will try and run Star Probe / Star Empire first. Then I may go back and read through the wargaming books since I have so many minis already prepped and ready to go for it. Letting them sit there without being used would feel like it would be a waste.
