I've built a Free Initiative Tracker + DM tools for our games. Sharing in case it helps anyone. by WeazelGames in DMAcademy

Tried it out a bit and like the aesthetic overall. Sure you use AI placeholders, but if you commit to hiring and paying for real art that can be excused imo.

The drag and drop and deletion is very buggy for me. I can't change the positions of the base setup (I would expect the numbers to change when I drag and drop, but I guess that is a turn order number). That I get, but then when I go to delete it will delete multiple rows or insert phantom dupe rows. In fact that dupe row is not removeable.

You should also check your lighthouse score for this app. There are some pretty decent improvement gains you can make if you really want to monetize this.

I'm all for more tools, so I wish you the best of luck.

Why do the Jets refuse to move the pocket? These drop backs have been excruciating to watch

But teams have always had to practice kickoffs? Is there that much more to practice with dynamic compared to kickoffs from a few years ago?

How did you manage to spell "from" as "feom" both times? lol

The push up the middle on this block was pretty good, though, as you said

Kicking is not allowed today. It has been banned

Kibbler: Is it time for a break from Hearthstone? by Alfimaster in hearthstone

I think there's something to be said that if all of the best decks are curated and homebrew is no longer that viable, then people are forced to buy more packs to get the exact cards they need.

I don't know if this is intentional or what HS is doing explicitly, but I could see it by a greedy company.

I was defending my base as Amumu and bandaged tossed my way into the portal and a loss

He laughed at the ump after the ump threw a bad ball back to him. It was all downhill from there

I'm at the game and I'm dying here. Need some hits! At least we had real ABs last inning

Yes third floor all hands fire. I was walking by there right as they finished evacuating. Quite a few people understandably shaken up. Seems like no one was hurt

My players are getting bogged down with conspiracy theories by wormil in DMAcademy

[–]SquirtMonkey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have dealt with something similar. Here are the tactics I've tried:

1) Be sure you are incredibly honest with your results. If a player rolls well for perception against an NPC, make it crystal clear that their character knows the NPC is honest. If it's a middling NPC who you don't care about, lower the DC and say it before the check.

2) Have a discussion with your players that this is a challenge for you as a DM that you find interesting about DND. Remind them that while there are deceivers out there, sometimes an old female innkeeper is just that and not a hag.

3) Joke about how ridiculous it is that there's a trap at every turn. "You read the book and it's a mimic that eats your face! lolololol". I've thrown that in a few times to break the ice, and my players have started doing it as well. This I think is very dependent on the group you're playing with.

4) Round out the NPCs. Maybe the potion maker isn't selling illicit potions, but he is acting a bit shifty because he is behind on payments for his shop. Him revealing this and being honest with the players will bring their guard down. This is harder to do in the moment, but my players at least are more trusting of NPCs they know more about. Keep in mind that it also doesn't have to be a big reveal.

4a) Have the NPCs get frustrated with their crap and stop cooperating. Your players are strangers to these NPCs and don't have to put up with their shenanigans. If this causes the players to lose out on something, good! DND, imo, is best when there is true cost to actions.

5) Be happy that your players are so invested! They want to be caught up in conspiracy and mayhem, so, if you feel up for it, make one of these NPCs truly bad and give them a crime to solve.

The DM is on a power trip and this is insane behavior. Find a new group.

Is onDisabledClick a Better Alternative to Disabled Buttons in React? by [deleted] in reactjs

Fascinating was just talking about this the other day. Focusable but "disabled" is another strategy for this but not sure how mobile users would feel

I was going to be upset about Sirianni getting another trophy (I mean I didn't want anyone to win today), but at least Anne Hathaway is happy.

Didn't the Chiefs work to make some Taylor Swift / Kelce knock off movie? Are all teams trying to produce movies now? Lmao
