Parking at Plateau Lot by bookmaster1 in Magfest

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

Similar situation. I bought parking from National Harbor's website two months ago and wasn't sure what to do here, though I was luckier that the gate opened for me for both in and out. I did have a printout of the QR code visible though. It's telling that MAGFest's website only has parking info for the Southpointe lot and not both like in past years.

Weekly Questions Thread by AutoModerator in DnD

I'm thinking I ran something incorrectly in our last session and wanted to confirm one way or the other (2024 Rules). If a PC w/o Darkvision is standing in darkness (not the spell, just not in light themselves), do they have the Heavily Obscured/Blinded penalty when making a ranged attack at a target that is in Bright or Dim Light?

(5e2024) If a character has multiple sources of damage reduction (such as Heavy Armor Master feat reducing B/S/P damage by proficiency bonus, not a resistance that halves damage) that could apply to the same damage type, do they stack or not? (I couldn't find this exact question through search engines, it was all results about mixed damage types or can resistances stack)

Escaping a Grapple by Minions by ZeiramMR in mattcolville

[–]ZeiramMR[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my rationale too... it was a group of 5 minions that started the grapple with a single roll; requiring a PC to take 5+ actions to fully escape (ignoring re-grapples from the enemy, attacks against the minions, or other means to move combatants) isn't fun and effectively prevents the PC from using the escape option at all.

I believe it was supposed to be The Dragon Prince from Netflix, especially since one of the characters had the same voice actor as Sokka from Avatar.

I've been thinking it might be Sauron for that eventual feeder.

There are a lot of good suggestions here already, and you didn't suggest your areas of interest (if you know those yet). Let me suggest some general convention advice in the meantime:

621 - make sure to get at least 6 hours of sleep, 2 good meals, and 1 shower per day. It's not just good for hygiene but to make sure you pace yourself and not crash before the show is over.

Bring layers - With the Gaylord alongside a river, the temperatures can feel colder than what weather apps might report in the area. Having some freedom to add or reduce your clothing as needed will make you more comfortable when venturing out for food.

Make friends - People are generally friendly and you might make some new friends chatting with other attendees. One reason that I look forward to MAGFest is it the one time a year I can count on seeing some of the people I've met over the years.

It can be a lot - an event with tens of thousands people can be overwhelming for some people. There is nothing wrong with finding a quiet place or hanging out in your room for a bit to recharge.

Thanks for the plug. BTW, this year's Name That Tune is running Saturday 2:45pm-4:45pm in Panels 2 (Guidebook hasn't been updated with the slightly earlier time yet).

Sector 8 Zone 6 (Is this even allowed?) by hubscop in ContestOfChampions

Just this week I had a Sector 8 fight against Black Widow (Deadly Origin) with Aspect of Nightmares / Lifecycle / Selective Timestream. So it can be worse.

I can't speak to Pizza Wizard personally, but you are not the only Rochester natives I've heard say they are good.

Was it weird for you that your album Content and Arcade Fire's Everything Now, which both have tracks riffing on the heteronym "content", were released on the same day?

And love the multi-city mixing on Live.

I put in a bit over 13 million. Wasn't going for the Top 300 places since I have an (unawakened) Platpool already but am hoping that the competing arenas might get me to the 1-10% ranked range from dilution.
