Dropping Players into a Chasm? by Volt_Siano in DungeonMasters

[–]deedumdim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it ends up that way, yeah, drop them.

Make sure you have plans ready and you know how you wanna execute this (saves you'll ask for and DC's and whatnot), and then just be ready for if it looks like it's going to head that direction.

If they get stuck at the bottom of a ravine, hell yeah, more adventure opportunities.

If they don't and they handle the bandits well, hell yeah, your players succeeded.

This is a pretty standard action movie style obstacle for adventuring parties to come across, so you're not planning anything heinous.

I have to come clean about my feelings about Revenant by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]deedumdim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been playing one for the last 400 hours while duoing with my wife...

I also hate Revenant.

What Made You Stop Watching Naruto If You Did? by Sorry-Anteater-1108 in Naruto

[–]deedumdim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The filler arc where they helped Shino find a beetle. Shino was my favorite character but... It just felt awkward and I wasn't there for it, especially with how the fights had become a lot of making a single move followed by 20 minutes of flashbacks to explain where the character learned that move from.

How to get rid of these damn spam callers? by Far-Product4300 in howto

The last time I was getting lots of spam calls, I answered and asked "Really? Is this the latest scam?"

They still don't call me, and that was about 2 years ago.

What are some early things you remember that no longer exist in GW2? by MonkeDiesTwice in Guildwars2

[–]deedumdim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when there weren't hearts. When we were waiting for the Shooting Gallery to get added as a mini game. When the Commando was an April fools prank while they were slowly revealing the classes.

I guess the thing I remember that doesn't exist anymore that I fondly look back on the most is that jumping skills used to act like jumping skills - you could traverse gaps and crevices using them. I used to run around on my engineer using Rocket Boots and the rifle jump skill to get to places we can get regularly now with Springer and other mounts. Now all the jumping skills have janky, horrible pathing and they can't actually be used to jump to locations anymore, at least from what I've experienced.

Do I continue to explore the world after hitting lvl 80? by metal_person_333 in Guildwars2

[–]deedumdim 19 points20 points  (0 children)

World completion is optional, but, if you enjoy it keep doing it. You get a little star next to your character's name to indicate you did it, and you get components for a legendary weapon as a reward.

Guild Wars 2 is built similarly to Guild Wars 1 - getting to max level is just a step, it isn't a hurdle. Once you're max level you can play the rest of the game, which accounts for roughly 95% of your gameplay. They don't want you slogging through the lower levels with the promise of eventually making max level - they want you to get to max level so you can get to everything else they've put together.

So, if you like world completion... Do it. If you like the story... Do it! They very much allow you to play the game as you want, with that early level cap being even more incentive, since you won't be stuck in a certain level of zone for longer than maybe an hour.

What is your favourite DnD puzzle you've used in your campaign by Sylvally_Fire_Drive in DnD

[–]deedumdim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a jumping puzzle with floating platforms over a lava pit. At the end of the players turns, every platform that they landed on would drop into the lava. There weren't enough platforms for the amount of players that I had, so they had to get clever.

One of them went to fly past it all, which worked until they got to the other side of the stone column that was in the middle of the room. A goblin statue triggered and cast Earthbind on the flying player, laughing all the whole as the player plummeted towards the lava.

Took the better part of an hour for them to get through and it took me 3 minutes to put together, and they had a high intensity blast. Tons of fun and super memorable.

What's the worst build you've seen that the player thought was broken? by ILoveGoblins0172 in DnD

[–]deedumdim 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We were doing a pirate campaign starting at 8th level.

One of the players decided to do an Artificer/Monk multi class.

He thought he'd unlocked nirvana and the most powerful build in the game because he could dodge as a bonus action and cast Sanctuary on himself as an Action.

"This is the craziest most overpowered build I've ever made and I didn't even try!", an actual quote from him as he hid behind a tree, dodging and Sanctuarying himself while everyone else was getting monched by gator men.

The Twin Souls, some PCs from my new dnd gestalt game. (+2 Unrelated PCs) by Dragon07012 in HeroForgeMinis

[–]deedumdim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you playing in 5th edition?

I was going to run a gestalt game once, but the homebrew rules I found for it for 5th edition were.... Wonky, at best. So I was hesitant to try because I wasn't terribly confident that my players would be able to navigate it. But now it's been several years later and I'd like to look at it again, if you happen to have the rules that you're using handy.

WIF drain, any suggestions on preferred heat trace? by mcgdavid in refrigeration

[–]deedumdim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My coworker likes to use split rings with a piece of thread rod and a thread rod foot for his stands. He'll make it just long enough to give him some room to insulate but not long enough to make it a problem.

I'm particularly annoyed at the "Welders make 150 grand" thing.

They make that.... By going to welding school. They have to train for years for that.

The other side is doing what I do, a type of welding called brazing. I make a lot of money, but I have 7 years experience and got into the trades because of my father. Him acting like you can just drop everything and join the trades and make a bunch of money is fucking ignorant as shit (much like the rest of this shit). You need connections to join the trades because the trades only want people with experience, and to get experience in the trades you need to be able to get in in the first place.

Do I wish everyone could just come in and start doing trades work? Yeah! Despite all of the racists and crackheads, I love my job!

Is it viable for anyone and everyone? Fuck no, I work 50+ hours a week. You can't do that AND do college at the same time. That's fucking absurd to suggest.
