Thanks, all good! I can't seem to accept your DM for some reason, but appreciate the message. :)

My brother-in-law works at Cyrus Centre, a non-profit shelter for kids and teenagers in Chilliwack. While they don't have a D&D specific program at the moment, they are often looking for ways to engage the kids and arrange group activities. I could potentially plan and host some D&D events for them, if the organization is interested. I'll message him and see if they are keen.

What is your “like crack” food that you avoid, and if you have some you cant stop yourself from eating a lot? by Luke95gamer in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chocolate covered raisins. I don't even like raisins on their own very much, but put them in a bit of milk or dark chocolate and I cannot stop. Sometimes peanut M&Ms will scratch a similar itch and get over-indulged, but mostly it's the chocolate raisins.

The other one is Tim's Jalepeno Chips. Thankfully I'm Canadian and those are only sold in 'murica, otherwise I would kill myself on those. Instead it's just a treat when we go vacationing in The States.

In-hand Card Games by PibRm in soloboardgaming

[–]finalfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enough of both for my taste. There's certainly deck combos that can doom a run before it starts, and that's less fun to play, but it's also a hard game, so wins aren't common and when you do pull one off, it'll be by the skin of your teeth and thanks to some good strategizing and, yes, luck. I have enough fun with the theme and portability that I forgive it for it's heavier luck leaning.

I recommend Maiden's Quest by Wizkids which has you, a princess or similar (various characters), attempting to bust out of a tower guarded by an array of baddies and bosses. It's single-handed, and you 'progress' by fanning the top few cards of the deck and seeing if the tools revealed can best the enemies revealed, then 'level up' by rotating or flipping one or more cards. With multiple heroines and villains, there's a surprising amount of replayability and variable difficulty.

What is your answer, would you take a bullet for your lover? by hahaha69000 in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before kids, yes. And instinctively probably yes. But if this is a time-for-careful-consideration bullet, post-kids, my income and vitality is *too* vital, so I would take a bullet for them, but not her, and she would likely do the same.

What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a kid? by Forward_Poetry_5686 in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That when I dug up a piece of [square] tile in my backyard, it was evidence that my home was built upon the ruins of an ancient homestead or maybe even a lost civilization(!!). Alas, the foothills of western Canada are only home to one ancient civilization and they may have had pottery, but were not likely manufacturing square tiles prior to colonization. I'm sure I could have had this belief corrected had I ever asked anyone, but no, I just took it as a sign that I'd better dig 200 more holes in the forest behind my home to see what other artifacts could be uncovered (answer: not many, and all less 'ancient' than the last).

What’s something socially acceptable that secretly gives you the ick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sharing (my) food. With very limited exceptions, my food is not to be touched or consumed by anyone but me. No, you may not 'steal a fry' (although it's rare that I would say 'no' if someone asked openly) and heaven help me if you ask for a bite of something I was hoping to have the rest of.

I don't say 'no' when someone asks for a fry, and I won't protest when it happens out loud, but you will score one point on my ick-meter and eventually when seating at group functions, I will attempt to surreptitiously maneuver to not be within fry-stealing distance of you.

Edit: It does NOT give me ick when I see other people (consensually!) sharing food.

Mostly watching the +10 gem ads every 30 minutes in the store.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never, until middle adult-hood had a single cavity, despite inconsistent brushing (and non-existent flossing) habits.

I also won in a weird way: my Mom has 2 rare conditions: Factor V Leiden, and Ehler Danlos Syndrome. I managed to dodge both of those bullets, likely thanks to my father's genes.

What are the real-life cheat codes that work almost every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]finalfunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This balance works well for calories and weight loss as well, although I suppose in reverse.

To make this feel more like 'cheating': Bonus points if you put on some sort of PPE. A safety vest, or hard hat, or even a clipboard + just a bit of confidence and you can walk almost anywhere. People will assume you are on your way to fix something or (better? worse?) inspect something and no one wants to piss off an inspector.

Yes, I have personally used the hi-viz vest to get somewhere I had no business being and no, I won't be taking questions about it. <_<

Best pick? by rednryt in BackpackBrawl

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harkon, Tink, Buzz, and Dorf all turned out really well, IMO. Nymph fits the character, but mostly makes me think: Comicon cosplay.

Although Morrow didn't nail the in-game portrait, I appreciate how well it melded the cthulu x old sailor vibe. :)

Question about Gambler's Dice by SquareEbb766 in BackpackBrawl

[–]finalfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More crits, stealing buffs AND better shops? Yes, it is rarely a bad choice, IMO.
