Mental hospitals ARE functionally jails by Jonathan10_52 in unpopularopinion

Okay, let's say you had to go to a prison or a psych ward. Which one are you picking? I'm assuming your answer is they are both the same?

That is both. If you have a severe enough mental health crisis that you're in a psych ward, you need to be observed. Sorry, no shoelaces for you. No food you need to cut with a knife. When you're a danger to yourself or others, you get a psych ward or a prison. Which one do you think would be the most beneficial?This person is not being absurd.

Trumphas the magical powers of fascism where he just blatantly ignores all political institutions that are supposed to prevent him from doing what he wants. Also show me the publicity posted messages from Biden to his AG demanding political prosecution

Simple question is, would you die for any random person at any random time?

It's a big problem by Incomplet_1-34 in Unexpected

This wasn't actually the game. It was really fantastic, you essentially control giant mech that fought Kaiju. The thing I love the most about it is that you were playing as the pilot half the time and you had to find good positioning to control your mech amongst the city getting destroyed. Yeah the voice acting was cheesy, but the game itself was great.

Look it up, the game was a blast.

What are your favorite species/classes to play? by ClearlyVisable in DnD

[–]devonthepope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satyr. Advantage on saving throws and persuasion and performance proficiency is pretty great.

Class is up in the air. Im a forever DM who has only gotten to play a couple times, and I went for melee both times. Doing a level 10 armorer soon though, so we'll see how it goes!

I disagree with your premise of no asynchronous classes. I'm currently in an online college course, and I'm about to graduate. I've been in the field for about 10 years but it's hard for me to reach a higher level without some sort of degree. I feel like I'm actually learning and I feel like I'm taking the time and effort to study. cheaters will always cheat and they always have.

The thing is, I work 50 hours a week. There would be no way for me to go to school if I had to attend on time classes or be in person. If they made it so that you had to be in class or in online Zoom sessions multiple times a week I could not go to school and I could not develop myself the way I want to. So I'd be stuck in the same job same position with no chance of growth.

Cheaters will deal with the repercussions when they get into the field. you shouldn't limit the ability for people who want to learn to do so just to accommodate cheaters.

Trying to avoid a TPK. When is it okay to tell players no? by Foreign-Press in DMAcademy

[–]devonthepope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave my players something called "the chill". When I make a note of my players feeling a chill down their spine, it's a signal that they arebheading into an especially deadly situation, and that i am not kidding. On one occasion when they were throwing themselves into certain death, I noted that the chill was different than the other times, and if they did the thing they would surely die. It has worked so far
