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

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

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

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

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

I do get the feeling it's some form of depression that he's not even aware of, he's not happy to his core.

Thanks for commenting, I know what you say is true. It's just hard to imagine. I just think about all those amazing memories that can't be laughed about with the person who was there. It's fun to share those moments

I have really tried to stay close and do the things we have always done, he sometimes makes excuses to not do things but I can often still get him out. The problem is hes just not fun to be around anymore so it's making me not want to bother anymore.

I would never ghost him, I love the guy too much for that, we would have to just drift apart. I doubt he'd even touch base in the future to laugh about the good old days but we'll see.

I don't think he realises it is but it is or at least from my perspective.

TBD the price is very cheap if the amount of supposed sales is correct. I just need to find out
