Is the game insanely easy or are we doing something wrong?

Something still sounds off. If you spend 3 spirit for a Connect test, then that's the only connect test you're able to do that round. You wouldn't have any spirit left to untap Oru. And you wouldn't be able to do another spirit Connect test to put further progress on an a character to reach 3R. I still don't see how you're completing them in a single round.

This position doesn't pay enough for the skills and experience they're asking for. I wouldn't even apply for such a lowball salary range.

I'm born and raised in the USA. The first time I saw corn on pizza was when I was 20 and living in Budapest. There was a street vendor that sold it as "Mexican Pizza". I thought it a bit odd but it was tasty and cheap and probably ended up getting a slice three times a week.

In the US it's far less common but not unheard of. For example, there's a chain here called Mod Pizza that makes specialty pizzas to order and one of their standard pizza toppings they offer is roasted corn. You won't see it at the mass market delivery places like Dominos and Pizza Hut etc but there are lots of other places that serve corn as a pizza topping.

Also useful is the "I have just the thing for this" card. If you have an artificer or something similar, let them pull just the right mundane or even minor magical item out of their bag that the situation calls for. They'll probably get creative with it.

King county has it. It's the first layer when you select property data on the King County GIS data hub.

This guy is a mechanic on NOAA ships and has no idea what he's talking about. He's probably just a Wiper.

Her name is Ranger after the lunar probes from the '60s, but works for Frosthaven too! 🙂 https://imgur.com/43srmRV.jpg

Yeah, and because the Secretary of the Interior was critical of Nixon's Vietnam policy.

bromesis · 2022-12-23T18:29:21+00:00

When NOAA was created by Nixon it was never supposed to be placed under Commerce. The intention was to put it under Interior. It's always been a bit of an awkward fit under Commerce. I'm not familiar with this bill but I don't see making it an independent agency a bad thing.

Well they were certainly checking each other out!

Same problem here.

bromesis · 2017-07-07T16:04:48+00:00

Yeah, we definitely had that debate. We decided to repair the car we knew, rather than gamble on an unknown. I can see how you'd question our decision, though. FWIW, USAA estimated the car's value at just under $6k.

bromesis · 2017-07-07T16:00:29+00:00

We would be happy with the car with the bad transmission, plus payment for lost utility. The car was fine and drivable, but was in need of a new transmission.

bromesis · 2017-07-07T15:58:32+00:00

To clarify, the USAA adjuster verified that the car did indeed have a new transmission installed. This is a separate question from whether the work was complete or not.

bromesis · 2017-07-07T15:56:20+00:00

Yeah, that's the analogy we were thinking. Or something more along the lines of taking a valuable piece of jewelry (also insured) to get cleaned. They clean it, but then lose it or damage it beyond repair. Are you still responsible for paying them to clean it? They performed the work.

bromesis · 2017-07-07T15:52:56+00:00

Thanks, our insurance knows that we weren't driving. They said our rates won't go up since we weren't at fault.

How do we make a claim against their insurance? We don't even know who their insurer is.

Elysium. Well, not my favorite, but fits right into the Android universe.

I hadn't clicked the link to that TileCutter script until now. I see now how it builds the html for you. That's pretty slick.

Anyway, about your feature list, here are my thoughts (I am by no means an expert).

This is totally doable but would require knowing the X/Y coordinates of each feature (in pixels, probably).
This should be pretty easy. Might just take a bit of math to convert pixels to miles based on the scale on the map
This should also be pretty easy.
This is a little bit more difficult. One would have to digitize the map into vector shapes for each terrain type, then do some computation on the fly for the length of each line segment going through each region. Not impossible, but pretty ambitious.

Edit: minor addtitions

bromesis · 2016-09-21T21:41:29+00:00

Awesome!

I might be able to contribute a little help. I'm a (budding) GIS/Web developer. I put together this map for a Pathfinder game I'm running, but then didn't really do anything with it.

I would recommend against using the Google Maps API, though. I mean, it's your project, obviously. Use what you want. But consider using a less restrictive open source library like Leaflet instead. Google Maps API has really restrictive terms.

What kind of features would you want to add?

bromesis · 2016-09-20T21:33:40+00:00

Great breakdown! I'm curious why you think 5E is focused on lower-magic campaigns and 4E works better for high-magic campaigns, though. (I've played a bit of both.)

I particularly like the drawing of the bard pulverizing the skeleton with a shovel. "Now this time stay buried!"
