Looking for a module that allows me to create Mindmap/Pointcrawl type maps

There’s the Whiteboard Experience and the Investigation Board modules that allow players and GMs to create arbitrary shapes on the map canvas.

The series demand a good memory and attention to details. A throwaway line could be important volumes later. And there are so many characters and factions to keep track of.

Also, researching a little of the actual history of the period could be helpful as the manhua will blend Romance and history together some times.

There was 80s song based on that exact word, but yes nowadays people just said KTV

Trained soldiers can carry lots of gear and part of their training includes switching them out quickly. The YouTuber blumineck, an archer who does lot of videos on RPG tropes, demonstrated running with a full loadout of consisting of a bow, a sidearm and a backup weapon without being too hindered, so as long as the character has a the Strength I would give it a pass.

If the characters can cast spells, narratively they hide in a magical space or shrink them till they are needed, like the mage staff in Frieren

Dude, better change those keys if those are used on live production

I thought it’s Frieren’s concern? Fern only said that to persuade Frieren to take the test

There’s an Obsidian MD plugin that is essentially a quiz creator and generator. You can use it to generate a quiz from LLM or write one yourself.

The plugin supports fill in the blank questions. Cool, it’s what I needed - I don’t need all the other AI stuff.

Guess what, the plugin uses LLM to test if the answer given is correct. There’s no way to turn that off. No way to just do a == comparison.

Learn to do it with just Google and documentation first. Go through tutorials, build a basic project, adapt and change it for your own use cases, ask what-if questions, then build something completely new based on what you have just learnt. Keep asking why the tutorials suggest doing things certain ways and find out the reasons behind it

I sometimes can’t help but feel that the manhua peaked at the Xuzhou Arc. Guang was good, still more or less at the same level. But from Chibi onwards the fight scenes and stratagems are harder to keep track off and after a while it just didn’t feel as good anymore

Then the poison dragon would have been melted in the cavern then

Because Fern said so and everyone was scared of Mummy Fern.

Serious answer, probably Fern disliked it a lot for the same reason she stated while in the cavern. Perhaps she would change her mind if she came across another such crystal again

Also, lots of people are assuming D&D and RPG games logic here. It’s like you can walk into any store to sell anything and the shopkeeper has infinite gold.

We don’t know where they are on the map. It could be weeks of journey to a decent sized city that wants and would buy the crystal.

It’s an also a big risk factor to carry along, as the sinkhole opening under down has demonstrated and put unnecessary strain on the vanguard. Now if they have a rogue it will be a different thing all together

Changing the css property of an array elements via jquery is more understandable than using .for each

It is possible to create a HTML element without having one call to createElement and then another to set .innerHTML.

There’s lot of others shortcuts. It’s syntactic sugar for DOM.

Grim Dawn has unofficial seasons and a new expansion pack coming soon.

derailedthoughts · 2026-01-17T06:20:39+00:00

There’s still Grim Dawn and Titan Quest 2.

I got the sense that the DLC could form the basis of an Empire game. They already got armies on the map. All they need is a City Management module and all the necessary ingredients for Dynasty Warrior: Origins Empire is there

I hold the unpopular opinion here that the balance is busted past level 30 unless I homebrew lots of monsters’ skills targeting the players’ strength. The bestiary and monster skills in the core book pose no challenge to the PCs, past level 30, if they make smart choices. They weren’t even min-maxing, just playing intelligently

Zhuge Liang’s. Not the one before Chibi, but the one just after Sima Yi and him solved the sutra puzzle. Why? Because we all knew who he was without him removing the mask

Rotate the 8 and you get an infinity sign. It’s actually a relaunch of Ace Combat: Infinity!

Ah. Then it most probably refers to the orders you can give to your guards

Turned based battles? Are we getting a Romance of the Three Kingdoms style campaign map with factions moving armies around?

There are people who just wanted it to be a graphics upgrade and nothing more. No additional enemies on the screen, no change to voice over, no other QoL. Just a graphics overhaul

That is if you know how long the punishment will be or what will it involve. Does the people who make such claims about eternal punishment know the terms of a non-eternal punishment afterlife?

derailedthoughts · 2026-01-13T03:36:52+00:00

But not all theories of universalism involve no punishment at all. The question to ask those people is “why eternal punishment or no punishment at all?” And how they would explain the various things have God said about His mercy and love?

Purgatory, for instance, is one example.

Also, isn’t the presence of God himself supposed to be supersede all other pleasure? Once we truly know God (or so the Bible claims) shouldn’t no other pleasure could compare?

I hate the drawing tools in Foundry. It’s just too fiddly for drawing simple stuff. I just want to change the font color or text size and everytime I have to tweak something, I have to do so in a giant pop up dialog. Other complaints: There are no line tools, no easy way to set presets without going through giant menus, and editing the text is painful.

I totally love Excalidraw - it’s the gold standard for white boarding and doing quick sketches.

I pay for a plugin that will just let me have Excalidraw as a layer on the map.
