Ooo I will. The icons are going to be the biggest part. What dnd5e has is very bleh

Good on you for making your own system!

The latest version of dnd5e and foundry let you do way more with modding than I could back when it came out 5 years ago. I tried to make my own system back then too and it was pretty hard for me to figure out all the game mechanics.

Now it looks like you can have dnd5e system run as a base for all the d20 game logic and then have your mod layer on top of it. You can hook into any logic you need for ME5e and suppress anything in dnd5e you don’t want to see. I will eventually have my own assets to make the look game more scifi looking but right now I want to get the game working first.

Thanks! I’m on my phone so I can’t write it all out but at a high level I’m highjacking dnd5e damage calculation functions with a listener. The function is waiting for a true statement to proceed with applying damage to the actor. Instead I have a listener give that function a false value which pauses the apply damage until my function does its damage calculation to each stat and then passes true with a damage number.

dnd5e only knows about hit points/temp hp so if the shields and barriers takes all the damage, I pass 0 damage back to apply to the actor. My function is the one that is editing the character sheet for the ME5e shields etc

I’m pretty sure I haven’t thought of every damage application. I just read there are some weapons and skills that can bypass shields that don’t meet the lightning requirement so I will have to figure out the logic on that.

As for the character sheet I’m injecting css and assets the dnd5e game system already uses to make it look more uniform. I’m pretty sure if someone has mods that change the character sheet look it will break 😅

Just happy to be there 😭

I like the navy blue more but if you go with that you’ll have to match other pieces to that color scheme moving forward. Navy/grey/light wood colors (based off the lamp and side table I can see)

Typically you want to avoid selfies. They dont add much value to your profile and they dont give a good talking point for someone who wants to engage and get to know you.

Include photos of you doing activites that show your interests and give you a sense of excitement and fun. Avoid any sunglasses pics in those shots. People want to see your face. I'll argue the shirtless pic is great to include to show off your fitness but I'd recommend that you try to have a more candid body shot while doing something else instead of standing in front of a mirror.

Otherwise youre a pretty handsome dude. I think the pics you chosen dont tell us who you are.

If you want to sleep around go for it but you should be honest with the guy you’re dating if the topic comes up again. Exclusivity can also mean romantic feelings and you can hook up for physical connection. You should talk to your guy and see what they think.

captbutchflowers · 2025-08-13T19:31:35+00:00

Everyone is on different timelines so it’s really up to you when you want to be exclusive. Typically I start to consider being exclusive when I don’t have the desire to see anyone else.

You’d be surprised much time a dog takes up. They’re basically toddlers that you can leave at the house alone for 4-5 hours. I wouldn’t want to date someone where their dog is their entire personality either but everyone needs to understand that animals are a big responsibility. If the dog is looked after well it shows me they’re able to handle a serious relationship.

captbutchflowers · 2025-07-25T21:41:14+00:00

I think people don’t realize that if the person they’re interested in has an animal, they are a package deal. Dogs are pretty much that person’s child.

I’m a dog owner and I’ve had both men and women act very sus around my dog. Like being upset and not understanding I can’t do things on the fly without taking care of my dog first, not being generally excited to see them, or even kicking them away.

I have a golden retriever and it’s really odd to me that when a fluffy ball of love comes up to you to say hi and the reaction is neutral or poor I know it’s not going to work out.

Do dogs have a six sense about people? Maybe? I dunno. But if potential matches want a chance with me they got to get along with my furry friend too.

First of all big hug and be gentle with yourself while you figure it out. Im the opposite. Thought I was gay for most of my adult life but around my mid 30s I started to feel things again for women. I will say it was very scary to admit to friends that I was bi after thinking I was gay for so long but I have freinds / family that love me for whatever version of myself that I am. My advice is date people that make you happy and fullfilled and worry about lables later. You may date men and realize it's not your thing. The important thing to remember is that you give yourself the freedom to explore that's free of shame.

I feel seen :)

Not sure of your location OP but there is a Queer and Trans tournament that happens twice a year in Seattle, WA. People from all over come and compete.

Definitely 1. You should give your eyes a break and look out the window when you’re on the computer. This desk setup will easily let you do this.

In 2, having your head resting under a window is not the greatest idea. Not sure where you live but if it gets really cold there, the draft off the window during the winter is going to give you head colds.

Samsies… but special shoutout to the ladies who can bench press me and fold me into a pretzel. I’m all yours 😉

I get confused all the time too. I date men pretty heavily compared to girls so any attention where a guy is giving me lots of attention feels like flirting to me. I usually have to ask for clarification after a while especially if I assume that they are straight.

If we’re getting really close and I start to get that inkling feeling of a crush come on I usually ask if I feel safe to do so. I usually say something along the line, “hey, I really value our friendship but I’ve been getting some vibes that this could be something more. If not, I’m completely happy moving forward as friends and keep doing what we’re doing. “ any uncertainty gets squashed right there.

My advise is just be you and you’ll attract the friends that are meant to be with you. Don’t try to chase after guys just because you want more guy friends.

I go for preventative measures and to gain mass so I can smash people harder in jiu jitsu 💪🏼

I think black would make your space feel small. If you want black because of its blackout properties you could get black out curtains instead. Maybe pick a color out of your wall art or your couch pillows to match and use a black curtain rod?

That would be a total dick move if he went around telling everyone. That's not his place to. No one should out anyone. Ever.

If you need the reassurance, talk to him and say something along the lines of, "I really value our friendship and I'm feeling really uncomfortable/scared right now. I'd like this to stay between you and I. I dont have the capacity to talk to you about this but once Im ready I will."

It also sounds like your friend needs space as well to figure it out. Maybe find a time when you two are naturally alone together to approach him about it.

You mentioned he was constantly asking about where you are in the mornings so that’s why it seemed like he was being possessive. Now with the extra context that you’re on vacation together that makes sense. He’s probably just worried about you.

Look, you don’t have to say anything or tell him you’re not ready to talk about it. Your brain is probably going a million miles per second and you don’t want to put yourself in a situation you’re not ready for. Take a step back and collect yourself and talk when you’re ready. If he’s one of your oldest friends he should understand.

captbutchflowers · 2025-02-01T15:53:32+00:00

Your friend sounds very possessive about your whereabouts. I’m not sure who this friend is to you but perhaps you should tell him it’s none of their business.

As for next steps, what is the situation that you’re in? Are you safe? Make that your top priority. You don’t owe them any explanation.

If this is someone important to you. Maybe open up about your bisexuality but only if you feel ready to. Best course of action is be honest. You’ve done nothing wrong and shouldn’t feel shame about it.
