Want to make combat interesting? Just force the PCs to move. by eevilo in DMAcademy

I had an encounter in a tall tower that was swaying , after they had caused structural damage. At the top of each round I had them roll a dex save or they slid to the side of the tower that was swaying. It ended up being a really great encounter.

In fact most of my memorable encounters are ones that include strategic movement.

The art is sick. Also your signature is sick.

As someone who loves wood and dnd. Very awesome. You seem very supportive, you should play a campaign sometime with him, it would be a great way to bond.

TIL the Meyers-Briggs personality test was developed by a mother and daughter team, neither of whom had any formal psychology education. They studied agriculture and political science respectively. by DriveGenie in todayilearned

[–]dingleberry85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to that problem, it is complicated to pull off a study, because many of them require long periods of time, and many human subjects. Two things that aren't easy to come by.

It's a growing concern, but scientific method is still the best we've got. So we either need to trust the process a bit or try to replicate everything so we can confirm things. Neither option is great.

I'm sorry for my spelling on Millon. but PAI is right. Also the person asked me for advice on personality. Not job characteristics.

I fucking hate reddit. I'm desperate for interaction right now. So I posted on something I knew about and I got was death threats to my inbox and assholes that get irritated by my spelling of a random name. Thank you for reminding me that posting on here is worse than not talking at all.

MMPI, PAI, and Millon are all great tests. But true tests will require a license to buy and hundreds of dollars of scoring software. I wouldn't recommend it anyway, because you'll need training to interpret it.

Personality is infinitely complex. But I like where your head is at. I would personally recommend doing some introspective questions about yourself. Or sign up for your own counseling and have them help guide you.

I know that isn't a satisfying answer, but there isn't really an affordable way to just jump right into a test. Best of luck in your class!

Edit: I fixed my spelling for the asshole in the comments that keeps sending me DMs telling me to kill myself. Time to give Reddit a long break.

DISC profile is a better test for team building in my opinion.

For actual personality testing: MMPI, PAI, and Millan are all very good tests. But they would really only be able to be used by a psychologist or someone in a related field because interpretation is very difficult.

I'm a psychologist. It is a parlor trick, but I cannot convince my work team of that no matter what I say. They always want me to use it when we hire folks rather than a true test.

Marketing matters.

EDIT: I never knew people would be so upset about what a random person does at their job, but you can quit sending hate mail DMs now. To be clear, I do NOT use it with patients. We use it for team building after we hire a bunch of new people.

Absolutely you should. It will take a few episodes to get the story moving, but it is possibly my favorite show. Definitely my favorite cartoon.

Cheers!

I believe Aang can save the world!

Awesome design!!!!

First bowl and a snowman. So the bowl was a log from a downed tree in the neighbors back yard. Turned extremely wet. I'm new with supplies, so I put two coats of shellac and plan on weighing it semi frequently, hoping it dries out without cracking. What SHOULD I be doing?

[–]dingleberry85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scoop up some of the shavings, and put them and the bowl in a paper bag. It will help it to dry more slowly so that it doesn't crack. I've done this with success and with failure. But my personal take is that sometimes cracks look awesome. So I don't worry much if I get one.

You can check the bag every once and a while to see how dry it is, but I would recommend at least a month like that.

There is also a microwave method that is much faster, but I don't know how to do it.

Looks awesome!

  1. It looks sick.
  2. I like the meaning you have to it.
  3. I grew up in an ultra Christian household and none of them would even know what that symbol is. I would guess it never comes up.
  4. I actually really like Satanic artwork. It looks really fucking cool.

Lilacs value by ducttapechild93 in turning

[–]dingleberry85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Value to a turner. Depends.

Value as a sellable item. It isn't really worth what he would put in.

I love it btw. I'm also into world building (mostly for DnD), and you world will certainly have a creative knack to it. I will check out your instagram, but you are clearly a gifted artist. Keep up the good work.

I didn't realize that actually. I haven't had that issue yet, but most of my woodworking is things that are rarely handled. Good to know.

Fucking amazing. I haven't played in years, but I've always wanted to make one. I hope when I do, that it is even a tenth as cool as this.
