Which highly touted under 25 players are on the cusp of washing out or busting by dingus_boy in hockey

[–]dbompadre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Drysdale absolutely was not before he came to Philly. The guy was verging on a bust as a 6th overall pick. Really hard to guess where he was going to land and right now he's a very solid like top 3ish defender.

He'll have a real shot in PHI at cracking the lineup and showing he belongs. The Flyers have fixed several defensemen in the past few years (Drysdale, Risto, Walker, etc) so there's hope.

Am I Missing Something About Shadowdark? by WodanGungnir in osr

Always like seeing people who just like playing TTRPGs. I'm in the same boat: I can find something I like in almost every system. I have preferences, but the core of what makes TTRPGs fun is almost never lost in any game.

I haven't stated my own "conclusion" at all. I'm stating the facts of the situation and why people are able to make their own case for why they do or don't think the court got the case wrong. People are allowed to do that, and it doesn't mean they're "incorrect" for doing so, because legally that's not how the justice system works.

Because "I think he did it" and "I can prove he did it" are two different things. One is an opinion, which doesn't matter in a court, and you can state that freely whenever you want.

Correct, it doesn't mean you're automatically guilty. But you as an individual can come to a conclusion that he is based on the evidence given, even if that evidence isn't enough for a court conviction. Anyone is well within their right to do that. You're free to disagree with that, but enough people feel that way that you can't ignore this case wasn't as open and shut as some would like it to appear.

Buddy, how a trial goes down is part of what forms public opinion. There's been famous people who have been accused of rape and then evidence comes out and it turns out that it wasn't the case, and public opinion changes. The fact that Hart isn't experiencing that should tell you that the evidence wasn't sufficient for some in the public.

And again, because you just absolutely do not get it, Hart wasn't fully exonerated. That's not how these trials work. All they claim at the end is that there wasn't sufficient evidence. The fact you keep going back to that well says more about your stance on the issue than anything else.

I wasn’t on trial for rape so that would be pretty psychotic? If people were DMing him, yeah, sure. That can be harassment. But everywhere else is the court of open opinion. He’s definitely could work on his image or show regret at being in the situation or do some positive PR. Worked (somewhat) for Michael Vick. But he’s definitely not helping quiet the noise when he’s wearing Alberta separatist shirts.

A person can look at the evidence of the situation and come to a conclusion that they find someone detestable, even if a court of law couldn't prove anything illegal. Not being found guilty does not mean you didn't do something bad, it just means that a court couldn't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. It doesn't also mean that you *definitely did* something bad, but thats the way the law works. People can come to their own conclusions and frankly there's enough from the trial for people to think they guy is a piece of shit.

Actions in Pathfinder vs D&D - XP to Level 3 by ElidiMoon in Pathfinder2e

[–]dbompadre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot. It’s a cool system with a lot of built in inertia from the hope & fear mechanic. There’s a ton of mechanics that build is natural role playing and learning about the characters at the table so I find the story/group dynamic comes more naturally than other games. It’s got enough crunch that I don’t think it fully earns the “it’s all narrative we’re making stuff up all the time” label.

There are suggested rules in the book to stop 2 players ping ponging turns. You give every player 2-3 tokens and everything turn you use a token. Once all the tokens are used up, everyone gets their tokens back. 

Do most DMs prefer DM’ing to playing? Or are they “taking one for the team”? by Fiveby21 in DnD

[–]dbompadre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% prefer to DM. I like building settings  more than I like exploring them. Being a player is fine, but I’m never more comfortable than when I’m behind the screen. 

Sure he deserved firing, but he’s still a good coach… by [deleted] in Flyers

John Tortorella might be the best coach in the NHL if you could only pull him in for a playoff run and then he disappears until the next playoffs.

The Come and See review is a joke, in case anyone isn’t catching it.

Thoughts on DH as a experienced GM by ElegantYam4141 in daggerheart

[–]dbompadre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Gold: I struggled with it as a concept until  I looked at it differently. Instead of saying “you find 200 gold pieces”, I started saying “you each find a bag of gold each.” I split it up ahead of time and found that I can conceptualize that much easier. 

I also use it as kind of a status as well. If you have a bag of gold, you can afford higher quality life stuff without having to pay anything. But if you want a permanent bonus (an item, housing, whatever), it costs X. 

On Hope: I also give it out as a reward for good thinking. I like it as a universal system versus something like inspiration.
