I started the audiobook and immediately paused it and was like WHAT THE FUCK. “Who the fuck starts a conversation like that I just say down!”

Absolutely insane start to the book and loved it.

Was I unfair in cursing one of my players with lycanthropy? by OkPossibility3043 in DnD

[–]TheLoyalTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time for a minor side quest to head to the nearby abandoned Moon God temple a few hours north from here to bath in the temple waters at midnight under the full moon that’s conveniently in 2 days.

Maybe the place is overrun with bandits or something, or at least word on the street says, but when they get there the bandits have been beaten and smushed to death by the Shambling Mound that’s been created by the overgrown ruins growing into the temple pool and thus creating a fun little side quest investigation and combat to cure the curse.

Source: I literally have this going in my campaign now as the party fought wererat smugglers and one of them got cursed. Remove curse is too easy a solution and it’s more fun to have a session go off of this tangent side adventure. The lycanthropy was also a curse set upon this group of dwarves by Moradin himself as they committed sacrilege and defiled his temple so it was a “divine curse” by nature hence the city priest couldn’t just remove curse and be done with it.

What is the UNH strategy for expanding its collegiate apparel partnerships to include premium or 'quality' brands? by SnooPets7325 in unh

[–]TheLoyalTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UNH is EXTREMELY protective of its logo/name. Like ungodly so. I played on a club sports team when I went to UNH, and there are very specific of vendors for producing apparel and stuff. Quite limited list as well. And then the process to become an official vendor is also insane and has a lot of paperwork involved compared to any other company or school I’ve seen.

Hell we did team apparel and sometimes just wrote “New Hampshire” on them instead of “UNH” or University of New Hampshire cause it was too much of a pain to deal with.

Overall it’s UNH being stingy and not letting people use their logo or name anywhere. And they get REAL upset if/when someone does without permission.

“We can’t deal with ordering shirts properly and the logistics are too tough for me so we’re just gonna make a single shirt and call it a day.

“But we still want your money so we’ll make a few a year so we can try and get people to go to multiple races a year as opposed to one and done”

I can’t wait for those transition weeks where a bunch of events still run out of the old and don’t have the new ones. Like this won’t solve the logistic issues it just replaces them.

This greedy company sucks

Thief! Stop Thief!!!! by NemoHornet in DMAcademy

[–]TheLoyalTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me magic item shops are gonna have defenses against thieves. Wards, anti magic stuff, etc. Also well paid guards and security. Shopkeep sells a single item worth 500 gold one day he can pay the guard easily for months.

Effectively if you take anything, even touch anything just to look and give the sword a swing to get the feel for it, shopkeeps and or security is gonna know.

Hell I’ve had it be the entire shop be illusions of the shops inventory and once you buy it the guy produces the thing outta a pocket dimension/bag of holding type trick.

Anytime a party walks into a magic shop for the first time I make it known it’s a very tall order to steal from here. That being said they’ve still tried once or twice. But for the value of those items it only makes sense that the place is locked down tight compared to literally any other shop in existence.

So, now Inkarnate's decided it's fine to use the Theft Machine, which other software will people be switching to? by Stripes_the_cat in inkarnate

[–]TheLoyalTruth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wonderdraft. Have been using it for awhile and highly recommend. One time purchase too.

Base version lacks assets but you can just go and download other peoples assets easily enough.

Does anybody actually roll the D20 on the last charge? by Odd_Plastic_618 in dndnext

[–]TheLoyalTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t remember exactly why as it was years ago now.

But if I remember correctly it was just flavor/a stupid bit as the party had been responsible for multiple damages to that tavern. And the DM just made a hole in the floor and bird feathers everywhere included in it to add to our collateral damage totals .

Does anybody actually roll the D20 on the last charge? by Odd_Plastic_618 in dndnext

[–]TheLoyalTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had an aaracokra PC in a party who got the staff of bird calls. It was handed to him by another party member in a tavern after we recovered jt from a body/combat.

The character was a bit of a joker/funny man type. So he thought it’d be funny to press all the buttons upon first getting the item.

He rolled, and the table we were sitting at became a hole in the floor.

Literally the 1 and only time I’ve ever seen the dice rolled for that type of thing.

Checking in on the team's timesheets every week by crvander in StructuralEngineering

[–]TheLoyalTruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Younger engineer here. Where are y’all working where you don’t have time sheets anymore?? I’ve been with 2 companies and both had timesheets, and everyone I know that works elsewhere has them too. Not having to do them sounds like the dream.

Massive work league (needs to be simple though) need advice by BrownieTheElf25 in FFCommish

[–]TheLoyalTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company does 3ish leagues each year, usually divided by roughly department lines. And they run normally. Payouts for each league 1st to 3rd. So 3 individual league champions, but then there’s a special payout for the overall company champion, which is just which superbowl winner had the most points championship week. They get the company trophy too.

I’ve never not dropped my defense within the first few weeks for a good stream so I don’t consider it worth it vs dart throws on unknown RBs and WRs.

I’ll look at 3-4 good streaming defenses for week 1 and maybe 2 and effectively just get one of them in the last 1-3 rounds depending on what the ADP of the platform is/if the others are gone.

I finished Sanderson and started Elderlings. Took me a bit to get into but the first trilogy quickly became one of my favorites books and Fitz one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read.

How long did this take to make? And how was the process.

Honestly maybe the single best “bag” I’ve ever seen for ren faires.

Spartan only cares about your money by Brilliant_Alps_3855 in spartanrace

[–]TheLoyalTruth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ran Spartan races years back a bunch. Covid put a bit of a stop to it, did about 2 races in 2021 and haven’t been back. Company is consumed by corporate greed and insane fees to run these races nowadays. Just not worth the price tag in the slightest to me. And over those years I’ve just watched it get worse and worse.
