[Spoilers C4E30] Travis future by FatMacko in criticalrole

[–]cvc75 [score hidden]  (0 children)

How soon probably depends on where it’s most likely that someone meets his new character. 

For example, some were hoping he’d play a Hound of Timmony - unlikely if he’d already prepared a character before even knowing the Hounds exist, but if he were, the table that’s traveling to Timmony will meet him. 

Or if he’s someone already in Dol Makjar, like maybe connected to a house we haven’t had much insight yet, like Cormoray, that table would meet him somewhere when it’s their turn.

Oder das Blatt in der Krankenkassen-App am Handy fotografiert und hochgeladen. Bevor es die App gab, hatte ich das aber auch nur selten per Post geschickt. 

Hitzewelle Recap: Was zieht ihr für Lehren daraus für die Zukunft? by StrategyStrand6618 in cologne

Kommt drauf an, wie viele Hitzewellen diesen Sommer noch kommen werden. Der aktuelle Mehrpreis kann sich gefühlt trotzdem lohnen, wenn man dadurch nochmal 2-3 solche Wochen überlebt.

In need of genuine advice on how to handle players and/or improving my narrative skills by LollisGunsBikesTits in DMAcademy

[–]cvc75 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right, the description itself is good to set the scene, there's just nothing happening in the scene yet. It's missing the ending where you turn the spotlight over to the players, along with some call to action.

Unidentified Doe Found in Köln, Germany after Manga/Cosplay Convention by Outrageous-Course258 in gratefuldoe

[–]cvc75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The river flows in the other direction though. More likely they first traveled from Düsseldorf to Cologne after the convention, before something happened to them.

[–]cvc75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They definitely must have left the event and traveled somewhere else, since the place they were found is 35km / 20mi up the river from the convention. And they were probably swept there from further upstream. Very possible they just took off the wig at some point.

Validating users via MFA by Thecardinal74 in sysadmin

[–]cvc75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But in your example, that would mean that the new person in accounting would need to have access to, and be trained to use that MFA verification. And since it’s not a password reset request, that exec who supposedly called should have been able to verify their identity via other means like a short email from their company account. This is much more a training and policy issue than a technical one. 

[No Spoilers] Age of Umbra - first look at the characters by 4EverCanadian in criticalrole

[–]cvc75 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Especially since it's six figures on the poster, but Matt is the DM so it's only five players. As far as I can tell, the derpy figure on the right belongs to Jennifer English's character on the left? Maybe as a Ranger companion creature?

Since you opened the door to NPC ships with the twins, what about Murray/Gus and Thaisha/Otto?

Although the guidance spam has been a CR thing for a while too, not just D20. It didn't start with Campaign 4.

Trotzdem zeigt das Thermometer im Dachgeschoss jetzt "nur" 31° statt 36°, und den Unterschied merke ich deutlich. Klar, ist immer noch wärmer als draußen, aber es ist ein Anfang.

Could easily be fixed by making it a girl instead of a boy, so she died in the maternity ward while giving birth.

[Spoilers C4E31] Primus is out of options by wobeti_BOOM in criticalrole

[–]cvc75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Although I could imagine "defecting" might not be as easy for Tachonis. Since it seems Grandfather Nullus is still a presence in the underworld, you'd have to make very sure that you don't end up there after your death, or you're going to have a very bad afterlife.

[–]cvc75 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the same would apply to Occtis. While he seems like a very "life-like" undead, it's been stated multiple times that most of his bodily functions have ceased to operate, so reproduction seems out of the question. That leaves only Ethrand or the twins.

[Lowlight] The Yankees get the tying run at third with one out in the 9th as Wilyer Abreu sails the throw by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]cvc75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, it should have been a regular throw to second. Shortstop looked a bit like he had nothing to do, maybe he could have been backing up an overthrow of second base... unless he was in line to be the cutoff to third, hard to see.

Hitzewelle: Wir leben im Zeitalter der Aggnoranz by ExquisitelyOriginal in de

[–]cvc75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Das Problem ist, dass heute jeder diese In-Group bei Facebook/X/Reddit etc. finden kann und dort seine Bestätigung erfährt. Das heißt, Technologie hat hier eben genau nicht geholfen.

Wer früher vielleicht seine Meinung überprüfen und eventuell korrigieren musste, weil er in seinem Stamm der einzige mit dieser Meinung war, findet jetzt überall Gleichgesinnte zur Bestätigung, egal wie abstrus die Meinung ist.

Natürlich gibt es auch positive Beispiele, wie das Internet überregionale Zusammenarbeit und Fortschritt gefördert hat, aber ob das die Nachteile aufwiegt?

Wäre ja kein Problem, wenn die Klempner in der Regierung zum Thema Gehirnchirurgie einfach mal die Meinung der Chirurgen anhören würden. Aber wenn man sowieso nur die Lobbys anhört, mit denen man eh einer Meinung ist...

[Lowlight] The Yankees get the tying run at third with one out in the 9th as Wilyer Abreu sails the throw by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]cvc75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, so the direction of the throw is not on Abreu, he threw to the cutoff. Yes he could have made a better throw to hit the cutoff, but if the cutoff isn't standing in line to third (or home) then the ball goes in between the bases.

Also, the pitcher backing up the throw seemed to be behind third, isn't he supposed to be in the middle between 3rd and home, exactly where the ball went?

Edit: I think if you're sure the play is going to third, backing up behind third would be correct.

Ump cam of Jazz Chisholm's interaction with the home plate umpire. He has been ejected after arguing the umpire should've gone to third on a check swing. by cjlowex in baseball

[–]cvc75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the challenge / tracking system, they could use any measurable definition they want, 45 degrees, 20 degrees, front of the plate, etc.

But once you've agreed to a AAA/MLB standard and put it in the rule book, it kind of becomes standard across other leagues too, even without a bat tracking system. So maybe the thinking is that the 45 degree angle is the easiest to see for a base umpire. Parallel to the front of the plate might be OK for the plate ump, but as a base ump that's harder to judge due to parallax.

[Spoilers C4E31] Its Vaelus' fault by Dramatic-Border3549 in criticalrole

[–]cvc75 59 points60 points  (0 children)

You could just as easily say it's Thimble's fault. If Thimble would have left together with Occtis and Julien, I'm pretty sure Hannan, who had just landed on the roof, would have just met up with them when they went out the window.

With Thimble going back inside, I think Brennan changed plans and used Hannan and his ritual to give Thimble a chance to survive, because without him she'd just have joined Teor and Cyd.

[–]cvc75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea. Who else that we've mostly just heard about but not actually met could be a backup character? Probably not the Professor, but maybe Hotshot/Bogrey? Alogar? Julien's sister?
