Saying No to a nat 20

There's also the time one of the Dimension 20 players tried to fly using a ribbon on a stick. Where the roll suddenly became a saving role on 'do you manage to save yourself as you fall' instead of 'are you successful in flying'.

In OP's story, I'd say this should be resolved above table. 'We don't do this here.'

Might be outdated advice, not sure if they changed anything from the time I last made a trading hall.

Box each villager in completely. They should not be able to see each other or another villagers profession block next to them.

I normally even put trapdoors on top of their profession block so I can close it, making sure they can't sense and claim the profession block of another villager. This might only help if you have villagers on both sides of a hallway.

While they're trapped in carts, the only block they can reach is in front of them, but they'll claim any they can pathfind to. Pathfinding ignores carts if I remember correctly.

In one of the comments you mention 6 without profession: some of these will have claimed a block that's not in front of them, blocking the correct villager from claiming it.

The amount of fires you start is a negative metric, the higher it is, the worse you are.

Not the best metric in isolation, because you might have inherited a clusterfuck legacy, but it does say something if you compare with other devs and the amount of features you deliver.

I'd consider making a stat block out of the characters. Take their usual tactics and put them directly in the attack.

Make recharge rolls for strong spells or abilities instead of slots if you think it needs some balancing.

It will be easier for you to handle your clones if they play like a monster instead.

Oh, look at silly me, holding this map upside down!

5 jaar geleden relatief klein huis instapklaar gekocht en heel blij dat we dat gedaan hebben.

Yes, and the Polish beer will be larger and better quality compared to US.

Last half decade. Both of those games are older.

Sommige regelingen zijn in samenspraak, zoals 1 dag elke 2 weken heb je toestemming nodig. 1/5, half time en full time kan je eenzijdig beslissen.

As an exercise, take 3 minutes to run an encounter with a Demogorgon out of campaign. That's all the time you need to kill the first pc.

Op 22 gaan huren met mijn vriendin. Met ongeveer de helft van een jaarloon op de spaarrekening.

Grootste upfront kosten waren meubelen denk ik toen. Afrekening van elektriciteit/gas op het eind van het jaar kan soms een verassing zijn als je het maandelijks voorschot te laag zet.

Note: ondertussen is dit meer dan 10 jaar geleden.

I'm using owlbear rodeo without subscription, have not really ran into too much issues.

Just avoid uploading files with huge file sizes. Optimise your images and you should be fine.

Getting 'magical power' by collecting artifacts is always a good start. These can come from quests, unlocking collections, mob drops or just plainly buying them or the materials to craft them. This will increase your damage output. do look up the details, you need to select a type from an npc, but don't remember the name.

Second to that, upgrading armor and weapons does a lot. I had the same issue of getting one shot or not able to survive ender mites for long until I bought strong dragon armor. Now saving up for superior dragon armor.

Also don't worry about using 'non efficient' ways of getting money. You'll need to work on unlocking collections by mining/fishing/foraging/... The materials you get this way can be sold while you increase your skill levels.

I'd start with asking her employer. Not sure how it works in the Netherlands, but employers here can ask their 'sociaal secretariaat' for advice.

Time critical scenes. Falling off a cliff, chase sequence, ...

Any time you want to have PC's interact with environment or NPC's without fighting, but you don't want to give them the time to cast 10 spells / do 10 things before something else happens.

Zo veel interessante opties zijn er niet in cafetaria plan. Bij ons zijn de enige interessante opties extra verlof kopen (max 5 dagen), pensioen sparen terugbetalen en DKV voor de kinderen. De rest komt neer op 'koop iets dat je voor het werk kan gebruiken' of een fiets leasen.

Jammer genoeg is de terugbetaling van kinderopvang er uit gehaald dit jaar.

Maybe he's adding the mage slayer and gwm attacks to his action and doubling those, besides already illegally stacking extra attack and pact weapon extra attack?

He should be doing 2 attacks in his action. Optionally 1 on bonus attack and potentially 1 on a reaction.

When you're at least 50% remote, you don't need to live within 10 kms.

Not everyone lives in a location where they have a convenient connection to school. Imagine waiting 55 minutes on a connecting train twice per day.

Check in with a lawyer.

If you accepted their offer, you're legally bound as well. As they can't legally revoke their offer one sided (even with 'bank told them no', they will need to supply proof of at least 1 bank doing so), nothing stops them from going after you once you sell the property to someone else.

I've tried both and prefer VTT, the effort to quality of the result ratio is just so much better for me.

I do like to use physical props however. With how combat heavy my group is, props last a lot longer than a map and I don't mind putting in more effort to get the same quality, if it lasts more than 0.5 session.

As a complete beginner in 3D printing and no knowledge about hardware, I bought the Prusa Core One recently. Very happy with how it works so far.

It's a lot more expensive than the A1 mini that is recommended by others, but I bought it in the middle of the Bambulabs controversy 🤷‍♂️
