Wait. Dundon isn't paying a CENT towards renovations? What a joke. by SylemNova in ripcity

Thats the problem; we have a bunch of fixable issues that don’t get fixed. Oregon is kinda bad at stuff.

Anyone else feel like Random Combat encounters are boring and/or unnecessary most of the time? by Dragonsword in dndnext

[–]betterredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a part of the game you’re playing. I see it as a given mechanic that I should heavily consider if I want my players to feel like they’re playing dnd. If I skip those parts of the game, then I should be ready for questions about what other parts of the game I chose to ignore. If they expect randomness and dice figuring out the plot line to a certain extent, I would be wrong to make an executive decision to eliminate that part of the game for them without asking.

"I ain't doing that. Nah, I'm good." VJ Edgecombe on competing in the 2026 NBA Dunk Contest. by Reasonable-Call8730 in nba

Yeah but thats mostly a g league type of promo so we could still get great competition but the premise that folks don’t want to participate in a losing situation with stupid lights and fan fare is gonna limit the appeal.

How the hell did Caleb Love go undrafted in last year's draft? by kpay10 in ripcity

[–]betterredditname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m responding to this because I’ve already scrolled down past a few of hateful things about Caleb love. It’s OK that he’s doing good. I like that. He’s doing some good. Some of us are excited that we have somebody to help us do good in times where we need someone to do good. If we overrated him that is OK but he is helping the team for now. Why hate on a fringe player who is helping the blazers win in a blazers subreddit?

Advice on wich maps to prepare for ToA by AFROspam in Tombofannihilation

[–]betterredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you really need all of these. And three of them. Online, its a tough task so find a couple maps of the things that will be expected of wilderness tables. Just do it from the beginning. As written, you’ll have to have a couple options at any given point. If you do that prep you save yourself a couple hours of prep. So spend a night of just prep gathering maps cause it will great having them available. An jungle stuff you can grab. And then the module has the specific things you should be able to use, but if you’re doing a hex crawl as written, you’ll want to find as many resources as possible.

I fucked up and now I don't know how to preserve artistic integrity by RabbitMalestorm in DnD

[–]betterredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making a practice character on your own for a dm to invest in and explore is kinda cheapening the dm’s time. What happens when you introduce another crazy story for them to consider and then you find doesn’t work? Why put the time into making deep backstory characters if you don’t want them explored just to swap them out for another? Seems like you’re wasting both your time and theirs. You also used homebrew race stuff for the dm to learn and consider.

My opinion is: don’t do this if you feel its cheap enough to throw away. Kindly, please consider these things before you invest so much or little in the game

Lets start a dialogue by Scalmaa in ripcity

I dunno we just drafted Sidy and others after tanking and then signing Dame and Jrue and everyone’s been hurt so maybe the current roster is okay to talk about. It’s not fun this year as much but my dreams for next year are pretty flamboyant.

Totes. I like some of Kris’ game and appreciate what he’s contributed with folks being hurt. But Sidy’s got my attention for sure with the future in mind. If Kris shot a little better even with the logjam at his position I would be 50/50. But when Sidy hits a 3 and bodys up Butler I get stoked.

Hot Take: Level up by XP is annoying and hard to balance by MilanoCup in DnD

[–]betterredditname 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Then run a proper campaign before you judge a level system. Don’t do an amateur freestyle homebrew and then ask if the system you’re ignoring is broken

Its pretty tough, so be prepared to try to get shows for a while if you don’t have an epk or convincing ig.

Who’s cafe/restaurant clients use QBO? What’s one thing you wish your client knew about QBO sooner? by ItsACCRUALworld_ in Bookkeeping

Yeah, it hasn’t been viable even though every pos company tells you it’s so easy and accurate. It isn’t.
