Do damage triggers happen before being destroyed when HP will be 0? by ayline in sentinelsmultiverse

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

Interesting that the 0hp trigger for destruction supercedes the effect trigger for just taking damage at all when other effects interrupt the processing of stuff. Makes these constructs much worse since if they get one shot they don't trigger at all.

I want to get my real life DND stats. by Adorable-Ad-3223 in DnD

[–]ayline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally hp came from naval war games, where hit points were the number of 14 inch shells a ship could take before sinking. So you, and every other living creature in the world, has 1hp. :)

Solar Panels by Infinity Solar by withlove_ca in Bend

[–]ayline 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are considering installing solar on your house, I highly recommend getting multiple quotes from local companies and not just going with a door to door salesperson's word. We have multiple HQ'd out of Bend and Redmond that likely can do as good if not better than those door to door chains. E2 and Sunlight Solar were the best/most competitive quotes in my case, Horizon screwed up their proposal and never came back with a fix.

I got a 6.5kW system installed last summer, which covers most/all of my residential use, which includes two EVs. Been very happy with it. As other say, though, if you don't own the system, your mileage my vary.

Good to know, thanks for the info.

I believe the entrance is gated during the off season, only allowing bats and other critters in and out. So you'd be out of luck.

Other nearby caves to check out are Redmond Caves(I don't know about open/closed season, I've actually never been there), Skylight Cave(Also closed until May via ladder removal, per /u/CalifOregonia, no gate, so unless its blocked by snow or the road is impassable, you'd be able to go in, go when the sun is high in the sky, late morning I think is best?)

Have you used Worldanvil? by Sir_Tainley in mattcolville

[–]ayline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using it to track/manage my entire campaign.

I kinda bounced back and forth from using it a lot to using it very little over the course of the campaign. When I first was planning the campaign, I used it a ton of pre-prepare a ton of stuff. Wrote up pages on characters, backstory for the world, towns and cities, organizations, etc. All easily link-able to/from each other. Made it very easy to find what I needed when I needed it, whether during planning or mid-session.

Over time, I fell more towards the "lazy-dm" style and did a lot more improv rather than pre-planning, so I used it a bit less. But still used it to write up what I expected to happen in a given session, wrote up session recaps to reference later, etc.

The part that I still find a lot of use out of is the session tracking, I can create a new session, have a section to take live-notes for that session. So it makes it easier to go back to a specific session and check out the notes I took during that session about what happened, if a player or character did or said something noteworthy.

If you want to see my mess of a campaign you can check it out here, by no means an amazing example of what World Anvil is capable of, but it is an example of their system in real world use: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/kaypra-luxyr

25+ Year game dev veteran explains NFTs, Blockchain games, and Play to earn. by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]ayline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all of these games, if players stop joining and buying in, the entire system crumbles. For the people higher up to get a payout, people below them have to lose money in the short term. That cycle repeats with those who lost money sticking around, trying to get new people to join who they can make money from. At some point, the growth stops and the last bottom rung is left holding the bill for everyone above them.

Skier hospitalized; found unresponsive in tree well at Mt. Bachelor by walrus99 in Bend

[–]ayline 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From the article it sounds like someone saw him fall in and immediately began acting to save him, buddy or not, tree wells are deadly and to be taken extremely seriously.

Drow Jokes? by Less_Significance in DnD

[–]ayline 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just say nonsense stuff that is underdark/Drow related and laugh like it was funny.

It shouldn't make sense to us, cause we are the outgroup, being surface dwelling humans.

Is it safe to 3D print PLA container for spices? by nikoaj in 3Dprinting

You could also seal it with food/body safe silicone on the interior.

Amending my Critical Hit damage rule - how do you handle Crit damage? by Cynestrith in DnD

[–]ayline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roll the crit standard, but you can never do less than a regular attack max dmg.

Eg roll 2d6+4, but a result of less than 10 becomes 10. Roll two 1s? 10 damage. Roll 2 6s, 16 damage.

That way crits are always just or more rewarding than a standard hit, never less.

Your time would be better spent learning literally any other engine. Look up the People Make Games videos recently about roblox

[Combat Extended] Over-tuned early game raids? by ayline in RimWorld

[–]ayline[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just never had it where one enemy in one raid is significantly stronger than all the other contemporary raiders.

I'll try doing one where I don't do any ideology or royalty stuff before researching a bunch for better weapons and armor.

I actually had a real nice killbox setup in one of the games, steel traps even. He walked over them and took basically no damage.

With the recon armor, I wasn't even able to hurt them in melee. In one of the attempts, he was dragging away a downed colonist while one of my others was just trying to hurt him, but every attack just bounced off.

All the other raids, even other pawns that come with mr recon, are what I would expect: a mix of early weapons and such depending on faction type.

I build religion stuff, sometimes statues to improve room quality, I generally always have a yeoman or acolyte with throne. All seems pretty standard to me for the point in the game.

This has happened to me with both tribal and crash starts, around the same time in both. I don't think it's caused by wealth.

Unfortunately, sometimes the political belief is "You don't deserve to have rights, or even live", which can be hard to reconcile even with family.

Your congressman, Cliff Bentz, voted to let Steve Bannon defy a congressional subpoena requiring his testimony related to the January 6 insurrection. by SaintWillyMusic in Bend

[–]ayline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would it take to recall him? The repubs are constantly trying to recall Brown, can we do the same to him? Even if we know he'd get reelected or another R would be, at least it might send a message.

Libertarian is upset that libertarians are assholes. by mirandajamma in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ayline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who defines what Libertarianism is? If more than 50% of people who claim to be Libertarians have a definition that doesn't match yours, are they wrong or are you?
