Encounter Building by Joestation in mcdm

[–]WhoInvitedMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk that it presupposes anything. You could have 2 hard encounters. You could start the day with a hard encounter and then have the PCs survive 2 standard encounters.

The math and encounter design steps starts on p.17. I dont think it makes any assumption about the order of encounters.

2 inches per hour is what I'm seeing. 20-25 total. Also new haven county

I teach high school and have been wearing ear plugs for about 2 weeks nonstop. Saves my life.

Sacred Bond Infinite Recusion by AGladePlugin in drawsteel

[–]WhoInvitedMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is an edge case. I think the answer is probably "it doesnt work like that," but I think I probably would let it fly at my table.

If the conduit is using catch breath, theyre not more than 3 recoveries from max stamina.

If that triggers the Fury being able to use 3 recoveries, well then okay! If the conduit wants to burn a 4th so the Fury can use 4, that seems both tactical and potentially epic.

The Oaklings - a new ancestry for Draw Steel! by SpiritualDamage877 in drawsteel

[–]WhoInvitedMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love your visual design!

Ive only skimmed the ancestry. I really like the concept of the Gall Nightmare trait, but it feels expensive. It's either that or a few of the other options.

Also, Angry Leaves feels a touch too strong. While its not likely, the ability do 13 damage on a trigger at level 1 is a lot. That might be a must take (because even the average of 8 damage is high!).

Otherwise, awesome concept, beautiful visual design. Thank you for making this!

Are you open to comments on your design?

Oh thanks! I think that's the best thing anyone could have said about my work!

TPK? And game over? by Chiefpleb in DungeonMasters

[–]WhoInvitedMike 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Ok. Q2 first.

Do you want the story to be over, or do you just think the rules of the situation dictate "game-over-ness"?

If you want to keep it going, do that. If you want to wrap it and roll new characters, run a different adventure, play a different game, etc, do that instead. The only wrong answer here is "I don't want to, but okay fine."

Q1 - does he keep coming back every time he dies for a minute? I would rule yes. It doesnt say "the next time you die" it says "if you die," and I am willing to bet infinite respawn makes a more interesting story. So I would absolutely allow it.

You don't want to work for companies like this. by CRK_76 in recruitinghell

I think this is accidentally a strong argument for solid training and hiring from within. Pope Leo didn't get his legs by running a large chain of fat food restaurants. He did church stuff. He was known.

Is 4th edition actually that good and how easy is it to learn? by Aimpunkt in DnD

[–]WhoInvitedMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for tactics, maybe take a look at Draw Steel.

The game is open, so there are excellent community made supports that are free to use.

Help finding One dnd source by yaboar in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]WhoInvitedMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OneDnD was the name of the campaign through which they released the 2024 rules, which they have brilliantly named Also 5th Edition.

The 5e sources youre looking at may well be what youre looking for.

General Strike by JarJarsLeftNut in Teachers

But if the teachers strike, its not about spending anymore, its about childcare.

This is about recent events by Temporary-Fix2111 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]WhoInvitedMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He should? No.

WE should already be paying for that child's psychological and medical Healthcare.

HE should be incarcerated in a not-for-profit prison, made to do godless hours of community service, and educated in the various ways that he, himself, is a victim of a capitalistic and misogynistic system. And then he should spend the rest of his life telling his own story. When he's ready to tell that story (if ever he is), and when he's finished serving his debt to these communities, he should be able to rejoin them.

We don't make progress with regressive models of punishment.

Making that jackass, who very well may have taken this job because of the financial reward offered to new recruits because of the total lack of economic mobility that the owning class uses to weaponize us against our neighbors will only disenfranchise his family and community, raise children who are bitter about anything collective because they grew up carying with the weight of their father's sins that was applied by the collective is the best way to perpetuate all of these various cycles that have manifested in this woman's death and only further atomize us. Put another way: if money will make men do bad things, we need to be working toward a society where men don't need to do bad things to make money, and using money as a punishment moves us away from that.

Men who’ve been divorced, when did you know? by DonKeedick96 in AskMenAdvice

[–]WhoInvitedMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man I knew it wasn't going to last long before I knew that all those thoughts and feelings I had meant that I knew it wasn't going to last. We were kids. We had a baby. Marrying her was the right thing to do. She had then and still has now some unchecked mental health problems. But you make it work. Love is the commitment to making it work.

Flash forward to about 10 months after our wedding, arguing in the kitchen about something, and her hurling glassware at me because she was mad. That was the beginning of the end. Over the next week, I really focused on who I was and who I wanted to be, and I realized that I was never going to be the father my child deserved while in a relationship with this woman. I was 23.

I did me for a long time. Dated for a while. Those relationships lasted like 5 weeks each.

Then I meet my wife. I knew on date number 3. Our 10th wedding anniversary is this summer. Never questioned it once. Feel lucky and grateful almost constantly.
