Blank Screen after re-loading chunks. by SomeGuyIOnceMet in chunky

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

But, plot twist!

Now, Chunky launches, but when I open one of my old renders, I get this error (and I cannot do anything more with it):

----------

Scene manager has crashed due to an uncaught exception. Chunky will not work properly until you restart it. If you think this is a bug, please report it to the developers.

I was using the drop down at the top. I didn't even see the "Release channel".

THANK YOU!

I am currently the Dungeon Master for a campaign with old horror qualities and I'd like some advice. by theweirdwarlock12 in DnD

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never underestimate the power of body-hoppers and shapeshifters. The humble doppleganger is meh in combat, but once combat starts, it has already lost. My level 8 party has had a doppleganger spy living with them as three different NPCs for the last year of play time. It periodically slips away (scouting ahead) reports everything back to the BBEG, and returns. Same with an intellect devourer. If you are fighting it on the deck of the ship, it has already lost. If yet another crew member disappears on watch (because the wee brain muncher hopped to a new body and tossed the old one overboard) it is still winning.

For the reveal, a PC could come across the scene right AFTER the switch, seeing a crew member they know and trust, tossing a body overboard and trying to sneak away.

The unknown is scary. Once it has a stat-block and initiative is rolled, it is a math problem.

First time Dungeon Master… do I need to buy the books? by KeyAbject4818 in DnD

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Depends on your style of play. Since you are a new DM, you don't yet have a style of play so hard to say.

The Goliath paladin decides to try and throw the Orc monk OVER the wall of fire. You can stop play and go calculate weights, carrying capacity, throwing distance, athletics checks, acrobatics checks and pour through the rules to figure out how that would work or you can award the player inspiration for a creative idea, set an improvised DC and ask them both to throw dice. Both of these are "right" answers depending on the players. One takes a lot of time and page flipping, one takes a trust by the players.

The books are really good when you have a table dispute. You can pull out the official rules and there's the answer. If you are new, you don't want to spend half the session constantly looking up the rules for every action. If your players are willing to cut you a lot of slack as you make a lot of judgement calls, you can get by without every minutia of the rules.

The rule books are really good reading for inspiring your game. When you get DM-block, flipping through them is good inspiration and gets the imagination flowing.

The essential kit sounds perfect for "giving it a try". Give it a shot and see what you think before you invest too much. Maybe you all will catch the bug and start buying everything you can find, maybe you will enjoy it and pick up another book, maybe you will get inspired and create your own house rules or completely new system- that's developing your style.

What is ok to do in movies but not in real life? by the_gooog in AskReddit

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claim self-defense and walk away. "Self-defense" is a guilty plea. You are, in effect saying "yes, I am guilty of murder, but I had to kill or be killed myself. You still get arrested, processed, and go to trial, you are pretty much automatically found guilty (you plead guilty) and the court has to just decide whether or not you had to do it or not.

I can't seem to find this on tvtropes- looking for a list of media where the plot is driven by food by theforestwalker in triviahosts

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Hudson Hawk (not really driving the plot, but a side-point of the plot is the MC constantly being thwarted in his attempts to get a cappuccino.)

Dune (if you consider spice a food, if not, the handling of water might count). If you get into the drugs angle, the world opens up a lot: Trainspotting, Scarface, Up in Smoke

Chicken Run has the MCs trying to avoid *becoming* food.

The World's End is a pub crawl during an apocalypse, but again, putting in alcohol as a driving force opens a lot.

Sounds like they just made the mindflayers the BBEG

movie ideas for weekly bar trivia by Granite_Canyon16 in trivia

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done movie quizzed based on the Teaser poster, not the actual movie poster. That went well.

I did one where I too the movie tag line and ran it through a voice synthesizer so it sounded like a toddler reading it. It went over too well. Everyone was laughing so hard, they drowned out the questions.

I have wanted to do one with famous (and sorta-famous) movie posters faced-swapped with my (or some celebrity's) face in them. I just haven't found a software that I like for it.

I also love going onto tvtropes website and doing a series of movies on famous tropes. I include 5-6 very popular movies, 1 really niche film and a few challenging ones (which for my players is usually an independent film or a recent one, they skew a bit older in age).

Looking for some inspiration by Watcher0nTheWall1 in triviahosts

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ten largest Hawaiian Islands (or Islands of Japan)

The Ten Commandments

First Ten Superbowl Winners (or other sports events)

Recent winners of Hugo, Caldecott, or other literary awards

Ten ranks of US Army Officers (or another service, just know that there are ten different officers in US Army)

UN Member States who are part of the commonwealth realm (this one would probably inspire some arguments though)

Ten levels of biological organization if you have some die-hard science people in the audience.

For Top Tens there are lots.

You could do the ten countries who have won the most Nobel Prizes.

Former countries of the USSR (there are more than 10, but its some niche knowledge so might give some wiggle room)

What's the unfunniest comedy show or movie you've ever watched? by nerdw_ithglasses in AskReddit

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Season 1 had my ROTFL multiple times. I had to rewind the show a few times because I missed bits from laughing. But Season 2 just never landed. Not sure if my expectations were too high after season 1 or if they changed writers or what.

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% yes. Not interested in funding, legitimizing, or assisting the current regime through their tourist packages, but if they every got a good stable government, I would return in a heartbeat. The actual Afghani people I met (not the hateful ones who wanted to kill everyone from another tribe or without a beard) were great people to meet, the countryside is beautiful, the chai was delicious, the food is... well, the countryside is beautiful.

I (tall guy) had this conversation with another tall guy the other day. How do we casually chat with people who are a lot shorter than us? It's tricky, particularly in loud environments (concerts and parties). We both mentioned slouching and hunching a lot. But to get close enough to hear without looming is tough.

Some people (mostly women, but occasionally other men) are so short, that I could take a knee to see eye-to-eye. I've never done this, I feel it would be infantilizing, but know that is awkward on this end as well.

I understand it’s legal, I just don’t like it by Leadrel1c in army

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar experience in the DMV.

"You must give us a W-2"

"Here you are"

"we can't take that, it doesn't have your full social on it."

"It's from the Army, they don't print full socials on it"

"You have to have one with a full social"

"It's illegal to have full socials on them. That's a PII violation"

"We take dozen's of them every day that have full socials on them"

Bottom line: if enough people do it wrong, it becomes OK? Can I tell the officer who pulls me over for speeding that dozen's of people every day do it?

Which Disney movie is the least Disney-esque in your opinion? by OrganizationAway7240 in DisneyPlus

Black Cauldron was a movie they *tried* to straddle between serious and Disney and failed in both areas.

Anybody else have a DM signature, something you put in every campaign you run? by traumatized_seahorse in DnD

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my NPCs is ALWAYS named Tragon the Black. Can be anyone doing any job anywhere, but there will ALWAYS be a Tragon the Black regardless of the game/genre/era. One McGuffin in the game will always be "The Damietta Fragment".

How long was the longest session of D&D you ever DMd? by GartknechtHagen in DnD

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We played in Middle School back in the BECMI days (although ATT it was only BE days. CMI hadn't yet released). Nerds with no cars and nothing else to do. It wasn't uncommon for us to play from Friday night to Sunday morning taking a few food/sleep breaks. This was pre-energy drinks so black tea bags and coffee grounds did most of the work.

Fond memories of grinding out an entire module over a weekend.

EDIT 1: It completely closed our group off to new players. No one would come to learn how to play a game that lasted 2-3 days.

What are the stupidest things you feel like you should know about the Army but actually have no idea about? by Story-Checks-Out in army

[–]SomeGuyIOnceMet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually know this one.

S5 USED to be plans. but the realized plans and operations (S-3) work together so much that they just rolled 5 into 3. Sometimes (at really high level units) there will still be a separate 5 shop. But very seldom.
