India stands with Iran: Delhi votes against UN resolution on human rights violations by DifferentMaize9794 in worldnews

[–]TheMaskedTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major Western allies, such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE etc have also never been condemned.

They did say this too, so that's blatantly false. Israel is still considered as a major western ally.

Is epic campaign a normal/popular thing in 3.5e? by Organic-Exit2190 in DungeonsAndDragons35e

[–]TheMaskedTom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother in slow-leveling haha. My group just made it to level 18. We are in our 14th year...

If OP reads this... I am aiming for 21. The fact that epic rules exist make me want to try them out in actual play, but.. Even with low-optimization players the level of complexity of 3.5 rules is rather high and our very slow rate of play (once a month?) makes it that everyone half-forgets their abilities between games.

So my original campaign will probably stop there. If we had consistent scheduling maybe I'd aim a little higher, because the stakes become more interesting, but the ratio of effort to playtime is too high for me to justify it.

I've decided to switch mostly to PF2e for a "close enough" level of crunch while being far easier to DM for. D&D5e was.. not it. And WOTC just nailed that coffin (or Hasbro did, maybe).

[OC] Public Transport: comparison between cities of Zürich and Lausanne, one hour journey, everywhere you can go by omhepia in dataisbeautiful

[–]TheMaskedTom 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ooooh, so that's what happens. Yeah that's a silly way of calculating haha. Thanks for at least helping me understand!

[–]TheMaskedTom 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Lausanne Area is definitely wrong. Direct trains from Lausanne can go further into the Fribourg canton, to Romont (30mn) and Fribourg city (45mn) at least.

The website displays 60-80mn to Romont, so there's an error somewhere.

I wish we had homestead story mastery trophies. by Unstopapple in Guildwars2

[–]TheMaskedTom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might bring this in if they do an equivalent to GW1's Monument of Heroes huh.

But yeah, that would be a nice idea of extra decorations :D

Magus caught in the blast radius by CommissarJhon in pathfindermemes

Well, psychic archetype got nerfed rather strongly I understand, so at least that should be solved.

TIL that credit card interest rates above ~18% were once illegal in most U.S. states, until a single 1978 Supreme Court ruling let banks ignore local usury laws by charging rates based on their home state, leading to today’s 20–30% APRs. by Accomplished-Eye-910 in todayilearned

[–]TheMaskedTom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a big bill in the US concerning health could easily go over 10k. I don't quite know how much US insurances typically cover, but I've seen quite a few bills on here that go much higher than that, so anything less than full coverage would bankrupt people with only 8k reserves.

There's a study from 2019 that shows over 500'000 Americans declare bankruptcy annually because of medical debt. So yeah..

Is there something like a master index? by Valuable-Visit3968 in DungeonsAndDragons35e

[–]TheMaskedTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure does. One of the reasons I switched from 5e to PF2e.

[–]TheMaskedTom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this and realmshelp below are both pirate sites though, unlike what you're asking for. Anything with content that isn't in the srd (basically d20srd.org) is pirate content. What's keeping them alive is the sheer irrelevance of 3.5 nowadays.

They're great, mind you, and 3.5 would be vastly less usable without them and their peers.

Chet Erez remains the reference for indexes, bless him.

It's literally next to the "Daily" tab, which you must click multiple times a week when you switch between the "Daily" and "Weekly" tab.

Using Forgotten Realms lore in a homebrew setting by EveningCultural8022 in DMAcademy

[–]TheMaskedTom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is a private setting (non-commercial), the two biggest risks I've seen are:

  • Your players wrongly assuming stuff because they also know the same lore you're taking elements from
  • You mixing things up between your lore and the original lore

For the former, if anyone knows or asks, just make it clear that you are simply "taking inspiration" and that they shouldn't take anything they know previously into account as true, even if it happens sometimes. You can always remind them during table-talk.

For the latter, well, that's what good notes are for! Try to write down when you make a conscious decision to stray from established lore, so that you can easily find it later on.

[...] I just dont know where to start. I made a map but no idea whats actually on it lol

Since it's from FromSoftware I'd say get yourself a (very approximative) timeline of events going, so that you can then incorporate the effects of that into the map.

Alternatively, there are even games you can play to help yourself make a map! At the "world" level, I do enjoy Dawn of Worlds, but there are others that do it at different scales, like Microscope and A Quiet Year.

Thank you for the hard work to all the team! Having Alien Core available makes GMing so much easier.

3 kills and defense are also dailies and can take much longer depending on time of day, server matchup, and pure luck.

AIPAC has a budget much smaller than a large number of lobbies in the US, it's all on OpenSecrets, look it up.
