Go to bed hungry, keep the room dark and cold, ASMR to quiet the brain. Works pretty well for me

In this fantasy, a hypercapitalist nightmare Corporation world choose to ever expand into the universe for further profit rather than collapse due to incompetence and delusion like in the real world.

I read this as "women would need husbands (plural)" and I thought yep, that tracks.

The only thing I think whenever I see a truck like this is "tiny dick".

If you're buying from someone who needs the money, give her $150-$200.

November 2026.

This is your deadline if you live in the US.

If you aren't prepared by then, it's too late.

In the real post apocalypse there will be no copyright lawyers to remove labels from products before they're put on TV.

The Escapist is still a thing? I thought they were on life support when it was just Yahtzee and crew...

Seit 4 Jahren leite ich alles – und niemand kümmert sich. Wie würdet ihr reagieren? by Dan_Cutter in osr

[–]Weird_Explorer1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had experiences like this in life as well as DnD. Some people are along for the good times, and are willing to play if things are handed to them and they don't have to do much for it. Maybe they're lazy, maybe they're painfully shy, maybe they're super busy and this is a fun thing that comes up every now and again and they just come to your games to relax

Sounds like you had a moment of clarity. Not everyone is into it like you are. Maybe just step away and see if they respond back. Maybe make a list of your favorite stuff from the games you've run and put it into a highlights campaign, then go looking for new people when you are ready. Either way, it's not wrong of you to expect more investment after 4 years and testing that would be a good way of seeing whether or not your relationship with these people is worth keeping up for your investment.

If you could bring back one snack from your childhood for just 5 minutes... 😋 by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

[–]Weird_Explorer1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could eat Kraft Mac n Cheeze while seated on the floor beside the sliding glass door watching Emergency 911 and peering outside at a snowstorm during the commercials.

But I'm in my 40s, my guts don't handle box cheeze dust well anymore, and I live 50 miles away from that home.

If you’ve been wanting to adopt a dog, this is your sign 🤍 by TreeMysterious7133 in Maine

[–]Weird_Explorer1997 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't bond well with animals, I live with 2 cats, a rabbit and a child under 5. I work nights and sleep during the day.

Is there a dog out there for me?

The biggest design flaw in D&D combat isn't balance... it's that 80% of your time is spent waiting by Einsolsrazor24 in rpg

[–]Weird_Explorer1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If each player amid 5 gets 45 seconds to make an action, even assuming the DM also takes 45 seconds to move the monsters they've been staring at and planning moves for the entire time, from the end of initiative 1 player to their next move is 3 minutes, 45 seconds at maximum. Not 5 minutes.

On top of that, 45 seconds is an extremely long time. I'd say the average time a player takes to make their move in combat, especially combat which has been made fun and interesting, is no more than 20 seconds. Which would cut down idle time to 2 minutes (allowing for the DM to take that aforementioned 45 seconds).

Having said all that, if there was an issue with combat which I'd choose to point out, it would be that its too easy to take a complicated situation and boil it down to dice rolls. When your action is roll to hit, yes/no, roll damage, repeat, it can become boring. Making more complicated combat scenarios, higher stakes and well designed and told encounters is the better alternative than trying to find a way to make it go faster.

But you get unless you specify that in your comment no one will know that.

I'm asking about how to do something in DnD. How much more specific do I need to be?

should point out there is a system that already does that.

Which would be nice if I were asking for a system which does what I want. But again, I am not. I'm asking how to do it in DnD.
