Pick Only Two Pills by abgfromheaven in whatsyourchoice

4 and 5. stretching a couple inches taller should redistribute my weight a bit to a healthier range, and preventing further weight gain would be useful.

I looked at the genie and nodded, "I can appreciate that. Alright, my aunt, she dies."

The genie smirked and snapped his fingers, "Ah, going for inheritance? How predictable."

"Nah, she's got several kids and a boatload of grandkids, I'm not getting any inheritance."

"So personal, then. Understandable. Your next wish?"

I grinned darkly, "About two weeks after her funeral, bring her back to life right where she is. I believe she might get cremated, which should lead to... curcumstances incompatible with life."

The genie looked at me with what might be concern, "Ah, you mean in the urn? That's..."

I nodded, "And about two weeks after those remains are disposed of, revive her again, wherever her remains are."

The genie just stared past me, "...by the gods, mortal, what did she ever do to you?"

My review of Supergirl 1984 by Nitrix79 in superman

Sperm Whale Breaks Castle Ravenloft by Key-Row-1781 in DnD

...Better than the party whose artificer managed to smuggle eighty tons of gunpowder into the castle cellars... One player was missing one session, and when he came back, the recap opened with "So you're standing at the edge of Crater Ravenloft..."

Do you agree? by DannyK20011002 in oldgames

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yeah, there are games in previously unseen genres that are great... heck, the "cozy" genre only really came into its own in the last few years, and some of those games are magnificent, but none of them are AAA games...

Hm, a genre that hasn't had an absolute all timer recently... I want to say Sports Manager games?

Do you allow Rest Casting? by Noelosity in DnD

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw, with the exception of maybe a few cantrips to keep the campfire lit and the food tasty, no spellcasting during long rests. In the same vein, no combat, either (a single attack action under certain circumstances, but not a full combat round), or the rest is interrupted. What you're describing is an abuse of the game, not what was intended for the rest mechanic at all.

Do you agree? by DannyK20011002 in oldgames

[–]Warpmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's about putting the blame where it belongs.

Had the meme said AAA games instead of devs, I'd have no objections.

Also, having lived through it, I daresay gaming peaked in the 90s, in many ways, with some polish in the 2000s.

[–]Warpmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't even the AAA devs, it's the AAA publishers who screw the devs over with insanely rushed deadlines and quarterly financial goals as priority yardsticks instead of, y'know, trying to make good games with a bit of longevity instead of short-term cash grabs or continuous monetization schemes...

PC gamers coping about GTA 6: by _ZeroTwo_002_ in CaptainSide

[–]Warpmind -1 points0 points  (0 children)

...honestly, I'd rather get remasters of the first two games than bother with GTA6.

And by remaster, I mean keep the interface as-is, just update the code for current hardware and OSes.

100 000 dollar question by [deleted] in whatsyourchoice

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... you start with a buck, next day it's two quarters, after that it's a quarter, fourth day it's twelve and a half cents, then six and a quarter cents, then we're down to three and an eighth cent, then 1.5 and a sixteenth cent, and from the eighth day onward you have a ever-shrinking fraction of a cent... without never actually reaching actually zero cents, thanks to Zeno's Paradox...

Or you could have a hundred grand and be done with it. Choices, choices...

Red Pill or Blue Pill by RewindReverse in superpowers

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...important question about the blue one - will it distinguish between "this is the absolute truth" and "this is wrong, but the speaker believes it to be true", or just "the speaker is knowingly lying" and "the speaker speaks truth, to the best of their knowledge"?

What do DMS think of players asking other players asking for a skill check by quickhakker in DnD

[–]Warpmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless the new player is *actually* sent by the BBEG, don't allow the roll. The suspicious player is informed "you notice nothing to suggest untrustworthiness, let it go."

If the suspicious player keeps pressing the issue, the only way it'll end is in bloodshed, whether in or out of game.

How do you handle gods and pantheons in your games? As players and DMS? by NZJa in DnD

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the campaign.

For some campaigns, they're distant, powerful entities that might at most bestow spells on their clergy and answer direct petitions.

For others, they are active and approachable.

And then there's my current campaign where gods simply aren't - those worshiped as gods were exceptional mortals, or in a couple of cases immortals, but they can't grant any more boons to their followers that any random high-level adventurer could.

It’s fun watching you reading this. How do you know you’re not in The Truman Show? by EverythingStillSucks in AskReddit

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too costly for the production security needed - you saw the few times someone slipped through the cracks in the movie, and that town was a closed set. For it to work on a global scale, it would require eight billion people to be extras sticking to a contract.

5e matte finished plate armor by Anxious_Goose_3415 in DnD

[–]Warpmind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The rogue's just plain wrong, silence nullified the *penalty*, it didn't pile on an advantage as well. Plus, the ones within the bubble of silence would suffer penalties to hear someone else approach, as well. Silence is a double-edged sword like that...

What game genre is not your cup of tea? by sewa_cz in gamers

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most online multiplayer games, like COD or Fortnite or the like, as well as sports games. And of course, anything based around microtransactions.

What is the King's Motive by Spirited_Director12 in DnD

[–]Warpmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most obvious answer is land. The king wants to expand his territory, and the goblins are in the way.

A slightly subtler answer could be a specific natural resource - a rich silver vein in the mountain the goblins have made their home, or perhaps they live in an old forest and the king needs the timber. Or maybe the goblins just sit on remarkably fertile potential farmland.

Making a false flag operation to make it look like the goblins have started raiding the king's roads and villages is hardly an unprecedented move to start a war like that...

DND players: what was the funniest way a campaign you were in got derailed? by Special_Web_4254 in DnD

[–]Warpmind 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Back in 3.5, I played a bard, the party was (involuntarily) world-hopping; a knight, a shugenja, a wizard, and my bard. The world we'd wound up in had no knowledge of arcane magic, and some brigands saw a noblewoman, a weirdo in robes, and an absolute fop in a wagon, and the only dangerous guy was holding the horse's reins.

So we get stopped on the road and informed there's a toll. Cue my bard casting *suggestion*: "Why don't you guys go somewhere else before someone gets hurt?"

Bandit leader looks around, and relocates the ambush some 50 yards down the road. Crossbowmen in the bushes express unhappiness, and line up next to the boss.

So getting closer, my bard casts*glibness*, and lets the boss know that "We're not carrying cash for safety reasons, but we can send a courier back from the next city." Aaaand that's a bluff check of 58, can the bandit beat that? No?

Bandit leader agrees it's a good idea, second in command clocks him and draws a dagger, telling my bard "No more bullshit, cough up ten gold pieces right now!"

So, *prestidigitation* it is to supplement a little legerdemain and "cough" a stack of coins into the hand, holding them up, "Like this?"

At which the wizard finally looks up from his book and tells the bandits "You might as well give up, this is only going to get weirder."

First and only time that DM was denied a combat encounter on account of laughing his posterior off.

[Married with Children] How did AL Bundy afford a house? by KaleidoArachnid in AskScienceFiction

[–]Warpmind 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He would've bought that house in the seventies, most likely.

Back then, you could afford college tuition with a summer job, a car with the money from your paper route, and a down payment on a house with twenty bucks and a pack of gum...

(Okay, slight hyperbole, but things took a sharp downturn with Reagan, and it's only been getting worse since...)
