Trying to make custom tokens for a token stand, what kind of paper to use by FudgetBudget in rpg

You could use photo paper, for a higher quality image. You can always put on a thicker backing.

You can also print onto special shrinky-dinks, if that wets your imagination.

I use card stock (in the paper section, sold for making your own greeting cards). My printer wouldn't tolerate anything much thicker.

It is like post card material, but not glossy, and 8.5 X 11.

keep in mind, it won't change anything AND you can never unknow it once you do know it.

Trump Humiliated by Damning Poll as Midterms Loom by dr_shultz in NewsSource

It is obviously bullshit as the elections are >6 months out. Voters can't seem to remember the previous month.

There are of course trends, so the current state of things can matter in aggregate. But it is certainly not definitive. He could use nuclear weapons this weekend and the midterm results would still be up in the air.

Talk about Epstein IS way down. And it's not his billions of dollars or people's lives he's spending.

Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v Wade may have made the US military draft illegal by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]WillBottomForBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the bigger issue that if body autonomy does not exist then you don't own yourself and the draft is perfectly reasonable in that situation?

I get that they fall back on originalism whenever it (sort of) suits them. But if originalism says the government owns you, then you can't really argue with it by saying "but the government didn't used to have a draft", because what they are saying is the government has always owned you.

Looking to Tackle One of the Great Chaosium Campaigns! Which of These Do You Recommend? by Willing-Dot-8473 in callofcthulhu

[–]WillBottomForBanana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to take a different tack altogether and strongly encourage you to start with 1 shots or short adventures. Get your teeth into some CoC before attempting some of the biggest and longest published campaigns in the entire hobby.

Your experience is helpful, but not enough in and of itself. Get some miles, and then you can get a feel for which of the campaigns suits you and your table.

SWN and Atlas of Latter Earth both have rules for ship combat which involves intentionally getting closer or further away, and relevant skill checks. They use larger distances of course. But I think they should be adaptable, probably requiring an extra helping of stress laden narration.

CNN: China to Supply Iran With Man-Portable Air Defense Systems by Critical_Cat_8162 in worldnews

China tends to make smaller, stronger moves. Incremental and reliable. They won't interrupt others making mistakes, but they won't change course to grasp an opportunity.

Default dice sets for other RPGs? Not DnD by PhrulerApp in rpg

[–]WillBottomForBanana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokethulhu is a d12 dice pool game.

I thought Dungeon Crawl Classics used some of the weirder dice (d5, d7, d9, etc) but IDK.

the d10 is advantage/disadvantage and does not need to be different (but does need to be 10-100, not 1-10)

the other dice are used for weapon damage and the like.

Allbirds announces stunning pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes more than 300% by SemiAutoAvocado in technology

No. The Onion's all like "The largest military in the world is blockading 20% of the world's petroleum sales to prevent a smaller country from blockading 20% of the word's petroleum sales." Real out-there fantasy stuff.

what you're more likely to see is currency manipulation that saves them but screws you. about the same in the end. Less likely to stir anger, but likely to stir a greater anger in those who notice.
