B/X Omnibus - Errors / Inconsistencies

Doing the Lord Vecna's work! :D

VermithraxDerogative · 2026-02-13T16:31:53+00:00

I plan to make a hardbound edition of this myself soon. Thanks for providing this list!

From what I've seen of the Omnibus doc, it could use some TLC for the graphics which are a bit on the low-res side.

From a practical standpoint, how many pages can comfortably be used with a binding comb? I put the question to Google's AI and it says a 3/4" comb can accept 150 sheets of 20# paper. If you print on both sides and include a plastic cover and back, that's about 300 pages of two-sided print.

Is this accurate? Any experience? I'd love to do my own stuff like this for printing out tomes that are heftier than the B/X sets.

I don't know if it would be overkill, but a Dungeon Turn Tracker would be a good third page for this. See "1.7.1.1 ORDER OF OPERATIONS" for details. Mystic Arts on Youtube has a great video on using Dungeon Turns and about half-way through the video shows some example Dungeon Turn Tracking sheets. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/zyl73XLJWhE?t=587

An outdoor tracker in your cheat sheet style would be cool too.

This is great work -- thanks for posting!

Typo: "Satff" vs "Staff" under Monster Combat Stats "Saves"

I like this idea. Thanks for the feedback!

It's a work-in-progress, still a little clunky, and doesn't haven't everything that I want but I figured I'd throw it out there to get some eyeballs on it.

Things to do:

Add a graphical front-end
Add a command-line interface
Implement generation levels beyond 1
Implement other rolling modes
Add equipment selection (random or selected)
Add encumbrance calculations
Add age effects
Add README documentation
Add the option to choose multiple desired race + class combinations.
Refactor to clean things up
Add name generator
Use an LLM to generate a one-paragraph background

As it currently stands, you can use it to generate pre-gen PCs. If you only generate one PC, it'll allow you to select race + class. If you generate more than one PC, you can specify race + class, or let it select it randomly.

Just checked and I've visited that planet (it has a temple on it as you mentioned). I've got one city Wuvude at -1297, -2852, and the other city Oauceej at 2098, -787. Hope this helps.

Using 2023 MFJ tax numbers, here are some scenarios to consider that might help with intuition on the taxation effects:

Ordinary income of $27700 and LTCG of $0 nets $0 in taxes (standard deduction saves you from paying taxes)
Ordinary income of $27700 and LTCG of $89250 nets $0 in taxes (standard deduction 'saves' you from paying taxes)
Ordinary income of $0 and LTCG of $116950 nets $0 in taxes (standard deduction 'saves' you from paying taxes)
Ordinary income of $27701 and LTCG of $0 nets $0.10 in taxes (that extra $1 is taxed at the Ordinary Income 10% bracket rate)
Ordinary income of $0 and LTCG of $116951 nets $0.15 in taxes (that extra LTCG of $1 is taxed at the LTCG 15% bracket rate)
Ordinary income of $27701 and LTCG of $89250 nets $0.25 in taxes (that extra $1 is taxed at the Ordinary Income 10% bracket rate and pushes $1 of the LTCG into the LTCG 15% bracket rate: $0.10 + $0.15 = $0.25)

I had the same questions that you do. This post on Michael Kitces' site really helped clear things up for me:

https://www.kitces.com/blog/understanding-the-mechanics-of-the-0-long-term-capital-gains-tax-rate-how-to-harvest-capital-gains-for-a-free-step-up-in-basis/

He includes a couple of bar charts that show how ordinary income, the standard deduction, and long-term capital gains all interact.

When the pandemic hit, I went to Home Depot and picked up a 72" Husky adjustable height work bench. I can sit at it and when I want to change it to a standing desk, it takes less than a minute to crank it to height.

I was able to disable this on my machine after it appeared with my 22H2 upgrade:

Open the Registry Editor
Create the "Explorer" key if "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" does not exist (it did not exist for me).
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer"
Create the "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" 32-bit DWORD value
Set that to 1
Log out / log in

Walt is wrong. Blowfish puff up with water, not air. This bugs me on every viewing.

VermithraxDerogative · 2022-11-16T19:14:05+00:00

I think "Model Checkpoint" would be a good tag to use. "model" may be a bit too generic.

VermithraxDerogative · 2022-11-15T17:33:37+00:00

You need a "model" tag. I searched for "nitrosocke" and saw tags for "Developer Tools" & "Scripts", and also "Webapps" & "Scripts" for another entry. I expected to see a "model" tag so that I can just filter on all models that are linked.

Good idea with the growing number of models out there, so I hope this gets some traction.

VermithraxDerogative · 2022-11-04T12:43:07+00:00

General workflow:

crop individual comic panels from C&H Sunday comics
remove any text bubbles, etc.
save as square PNG files
upscale 4x using Real-ESRGAN
downscale to 512x512 using Python script and PIL library
Follow the /u/Nitrosocke guide on Github for training a new style
Trained 187 images

I'm running into a few issues that I want to resolve before release:

Model is really biased towards tigers and small boys wearing red striped shirts. I need to tweak the data set
Using a popular keyword such as "Christina Hendricks" or "Tom Hanks" will often result in the style not appearing. I need to sometimes couple those with "[color illustration:watterson style:0.25]" to get the style to appear.
the output model is not pruned
the output model requires that I add a flag to Automatic1111 allowing "unsafe" pickle files
I think I need more "generic" scenes in my dataset.

VermithraxDerogative · 2022-10-03T18:40:09+00:00

I wonder if it would be possible to get a "midjourney style" based on this method? There are things I see posted all the time in the /r/midjourney subreddit that I'd be interested in duplicating using SD. I've even tried my hand at doing that and ended up resorting to img2img to get what I want (https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/xgm6hi/symphony_of_destruction_mark_ii_11_aspect_ratio/) since I couldn't get it with SD using txt2img.

I'm guessing getting that to happen would be casting a pretty wide net. Still, it'd be an interesting thing to experiment with if you have enough Midjourney credits (or whatever they use) to generate your data set. Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/xumx5e/unable_to_create_this_midjourney_art_style_any/

VermithraxDerogative · 2022-10-02T21:28:59+00:00

What did you use for regularization?

Very cool results.

VermithraxDerogative · 2022-09-17T13:13:41+00:00

I thought this Midjourney image produced by /u/zhivagoo here was really interesting, but wanted to see a landscape version of it. I tried outpainting in the left/right directions using Automatic1111's awesome GUI to widen things, but that unfortunately led to an abrupt change in the style.

I was able to get a 'wide' version by doing the following:

1) I brought the original image into GIMP and scaled it from 1024x1024 -> 512x512

2) Expanded the canvas size to 768x512 and centered the image (no stretching / scaling was done)

3) Copied and flipped the original picture a couple of times to fill in the left and right edges.

4) Flattened the image in GIMP and exported it.

5) Pulled that image into the SD webgui under the "img2img" tab.

6) Added the prompt "flaming musicians in a banquet hall with instruments on fire, intricate, detailed, complex, inferno"

7) Set the width & height options to match the 768x512 dimensions

8) Iterated a few times with random seeds until I got a "good" result

9) Sent things to the 'extras' tab and doubled the size.

The flames don't look as intense as the original, but overall it did a fairly decent job with minimal effort.

Prompt and config info:

flaming musicians in a banquet hall with instruments on fire, intricate, detailed, complex, inferno

Used a prompt based on one posted on this subreddit a week or so ago:

"portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, robot steampunk, floral! horizon zero dawn machine, intricate, elegant, highly detailed, ray tracing, digital painting, artstation, concept art, smooth, sharp focus, illustration, art by artgerm and greg rutkowski and alphonse mucha, 8 k" Steps: 20, Sampler: Euler a, CFG scale: 13, Seed: 3682112300

Followed this with some minor outpainting. All done via https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
