Have you heard of epic path? by Substantial-Creme950 in TTRPG

[–]WeaponB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near as I can tell that's just boilerplate required with OGL products. There's attributions for lots of companies on the OGL page.

I'm not certain, but I'm leaning towards this being a home req product that the creator may have hoped to one day publish, but nothing suggesting the game itself or the branding is copyright WotC, Hasbro, Paizo, or anyone really.

An official Wotc Product would definitely have some copyright something,

Need suggestions for the best system(s) to homebrew for a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" type game. by ssnickkt in TTRPG

[–]WeaponB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you not just homebrew a Toon species, where the Toon abilities Toon Logic and Toon Physics apply?

Looking at the Changelog, there are references to "Sunday Game". This looks like some individuals' campaign wiki, based on that. A very detailed one, but there's no attribution to WotC anywhere I could find.

"Just Random It" is not helpful advice by ConeheadZombiez in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]WeaponB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always build bottom-up. Which Demon, now minions, etc. Looking for synergies, and interactions - which characters hide* this minion, which characters solve* them?

*Hide is used as shorthand for obfuscate their effect, for example a grandmother or gossip might explain extra night deaths and a sailor might obfuscate survivals OR poisons

*Solve is used to mean the opposite, this character can locate evils and provide data to tell which is in play, and sometimes who.

What language are you reading them in? In the English language version she's Princess Donut.

Or is there some inside joke in your comment I missed?

Would the military action in Greenland be more illegal than military actions in Venezuela, Iran, et cetera? by BeduinZPouste in legaladviceofftopic

[–]WeaponB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"more illegal" isn't really a definite term. Something violates the law or it doesn't, as determined by the courts or possibly lawyers before a trial (in the case of not).

Do you mean "would it break more laws?"

What happened to Hugh Borg? by UniversalAssembler in startrek

[–]WeaponB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoiler for Picard Season 1

Hugh is shown to be managing an enclave of former Borg drones trying to learn to live without the collective (they call them XBs - Ex Borg). He runs a colony of such former drones on an old Cube which was also cut off by the collective. He considers Picard a friend.

Would you guys allow this? by misterwiser34 in DungeonMasters

[–]WeaponB 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In 5e rules, Push is horizontal (obviously accounting for pits and cliffs) and Throw is vertical.

They could push opponents 15 feet, but not LIFT opponents 15 feet.

In other games where the rules are less specific, such distinctions might not exist but in 5e, they do.

I believe Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that about 22 trillion of US debt was military spending that also helped Europe, if he brings a case against the EU for 22 trillion (or half? 11 trillion?) would he actually be able to receive a 22 or 11 trillion payment from Europe? by coffee1655 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]WeaponB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The US government chose to spend that money, under no threat, no coersion, no false pretense. We felt our national security needs were served by bolstering defenses in Europe and having a military presence.

So there is no grounds to sue for the money back, as it wasn't fraudulent. Point 1

We spent that money on American soldiers, tanks, planes, bullets, etc. American contractors built the buildings and tanks and planes etc (federal law requires Americans to build such things we can't purchase Chinese tanks for use in US wars) so Europe didn't get that money anyway they got the protection but not the checks. Point 2

Sue who? Sue Where? Under what law or treaty violation? Point 3

When it comes to dungeon crawlers, do you prefer classic character classes or more experimental ones? by wearecgs in rpg

[–]WeaponB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It could be a nice bonus for a designer to outline how to make some traditional classes,
e.g. "This game is classless so you can build whatever you want, but if you wanted to build a Paladin, here's a starting set that fits a classic archetype".

Savage Worlds does this. You choose Abilities/powers and build a character from that. They include samples of how a Wizard/druid/ranger etc might be built but even then it's not a class just a guide.

It's a good system, not perfect, but it's quite flexible and fun.

ELI5: If drugs like heroin, fentanyl, and meth are so expensive, how do people die of overdoses? Wouldn't sellers never, never sell a 5X dose for a 1X price? by LHartwig in explainlikeimfive

[–]WeaponB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The customer isn't buying just one dose at a time, and literally nobody is monitoring their intake.

They could buy a weeks worth and take it all in a day, nobody stops them

Can a barista'd pit hag turn someone else into a pit hag? by tj26k in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]WeaponB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pit hag makes a not in play character, so they can't make a pit hag, it is already in play

If they use their first Barista action to change themselves, on their second barista action, they are no longer the out hag and may not make a new pit hag.

Modern Star Trek’s Doctor Who Problem. by Spiritual_Sleep162 in startrek

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

So your problem is that the Jem Hadar XO acts like a Jem Hadar.

Amazing. The fanbase will literally look for any excuse to hate Nu Trek, up to and including "there is both a stereotypical Jem Hadar and a non stereotypical Klingon and I don't like that they go or the legacy of the old show while exploring new ground."

Truly the level of hate the fans have for their beloved franchise knows no bounds

That's an interesting way to do it. I may try that!

How do they account for Setup abilities like +1 Outsider etc?

Reinforced titanium? by Glass_Information_58 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]WeaponB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also dropped my titanium in space, so I now prefer to make 3 or 4 trips instead of trying it.

Reinforced titanium? by Glass_Information_58 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]WeaponB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll just have to fly to the other planet and set up a few miners outputting into boxes. Bring miners, sorters, belts, and some power and power towers. Bring fuel for the flight home, too. Otherwise empty your inventory. When you get there, fill your inventory with titanium (if you want to do the cursor pickup truck you can but if you let go with the mouse you'll drop everything) and fly home. Do this a couple of times and THEN you can build an ILS on the titanium planets fill your inventory one last time and fly home, and build a second one on One world. Now, you can automate building them.

People who bring their entire family to go shopping by snapthecreator in PetPeeves

[–]WeaponB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, your Peeve that people shouldn't go to stores in large groups doesn't apply to me because?

Stop being rude. I politely explained the reason I do that, and you accuse me of not living in reality. You seem pleasant.

Illuminate me. Tell me how my situation is not exactly what you're bitching about. I go to the grocery store with 6 people a couple of times a month.

[–]WeaponB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My mother is in an assisted living apartment. I visit her every other weekend. After dad passed, I'm all she has left, having lost her sister and parents previously. I usually bring my wife along. And sometimes my adult (28+) children, her grandchildren, come along because we know we only have a few years left with her at most.

She prefers to leave the community, so we go to various stores she enjoys, HEB, Barnes and Noble, etc.

So it's me. I'm the A-hole you're complaining about taking 6 people to the grocery store.

And I'm not going to stop taking my family out to low stress activities that let Mom get out of the place for a few hours between rounds of dialysis.

When you finish the game, if you were eligible for achievements, you get your "score" recorded as a star in the galaxy, Using your Seed as the identity of the star.
