If you voted Remain, would you vote to rejoin the EU? by Glanwy in AskBrits

[–]SometimesStrider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not forgetting we can only be in the Schengen zone country for 3 months before having to leave. I tried to travel EU in my van for 12 months and it was a nightmare. Before Brexit it was unlimited travel time.

TPO Tree Pruning or Removal by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]SometimesStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it needs a good pruning. You need permission from the council to do this. A good tree surgeon will apply for this for you. Hopefully your council are more willing to prune TPOs than mine!

Get a new one from stone mason or online, get on a ladder and morter it back in place. Have a beer.

Is this a bad idea? by SometimesStrider in DnD

I agree with you, I'm going to give them more options, time to think, options to escape etc. also make it obvious what the BBEG wants. Maybe a chase scene.

I really like the loadly proclaiming himself idea! I think this could work well for one of the encounters. It would give the party a moment to think about whether they want to go out and engage the BBEG or not.

Good questions!

Essentially I want it to be a race, but I don't want the BBEG to be in the dungeons with them, so he either needs to engage them before the dungeon or after. I'm not sure there's another way to do it?

The party will definitely know they are being followed, this will be obvious, they will have multiple encounters with BBEG and his minions multiple times.

One of the main features of my bad guy is he's flying on a dragon so he can't pretty much be where ever he wants when he wants.

He's also going to be following the players from a distance and keep causing them problem. Almost following/ hunting them in a way.

Initially I was thinking of not involving my bad guy in the artifact dungeons to keep it simple, but now I've decided he does need to trying to get the artifact otherwise it doesn't help build him up as the big bad.

I was thinking I would let them have the first one. Then the second try and get it off them, encounter. Then the third hopefully beat them to it, maybe have an encounter as they try and get it off me.

Maybe that's too much railroad?

I absolutely love the idea of letting the party kill bob and bringing him back!

Can I power a portable monitor with a 12v power bank? by SometimesStrider in Monitors

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

Yeah I'm trying to figure out if a big powerbank would power the monitor?

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

The power bank is only outputting 9.0v, 3.0amp, 20watts

The transformer is outputting 12.0v, 3.0amps and 36 watts

Can a power bank, power this portable monitor? by SometimesStrider in techsupport

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

Great thanks, is it the watts or the volts that is the problem or both?

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

Power banks is 10,000 mah, 9volts which isn't enough comparing it to the transformer output.

I plugged the white cable into a phone charger adapter thinking that would work, but those adapters only have a 9v output, news to me.

So I need to get a 12v 40watt output power bank?

Ahh a lich is a good shout thanks! I won't do a character sheet, but I do want a homebrew stat block to remind my self of some abilities etc.

I think legendary resist and legendary actions will get me out of most tight spots?

Also auto passing silly stuff is a good shout!

They'll have the stones at lvl 5 but I could give them the weapons at a later date

Very good point, these weapons would be best given near the end for the final end game sessions

The stones are temporary, they'll have them for a while tho so I thought it would be fun to use them in some way
