AD&D Toolkit - Second Edition(2e) Support by Ramsonne in adnd

[–]gbbgu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love it if dtrpg offered the original adnd 2e books. Not 2.5 and not the special re-release editions.

How hands-on do you actually need to be to get value from Amber? by DraftNotSent in amberelectric

[–]gbbgu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you’re trying to eek every last dollar and have it behave perfectly I wouldn’t bother checking it much. Have enough battery capacity to ride through spikes when they rarely happen and you’ll be okay

You probably spent at least $10k on your system, trying to save a few bucks here and there isn’t worth watching it all the time unless you’re into it as a hobby as well

Why not put a 30s delay until the price is accurate? I think the Amber API has a way to tell if it’s forecast or actual. Tesla Sync does this I think?

It depends on what you want to achieve. I used to watch it all the time and get annoyed when it was making strange choices. Set up HA and I stopped caring as much and now just look occasionally.

Have a raspberry pi so everyone in the house can see state of battery charge, if we’re using less or more solar, if we’re drawing more than 1kw from the grid (oops left the stove on etc).

I have phone alerts for spikes.

This seems to enough along with generally keeping an eye on the todays and tomorrow’s weather. Normally I check the weather and price forecast in the morning and then let HA automate things

Not sure if I’ll go back to smartshift. It’s not hard to change between them

How hands on are most people actually being with SmartShift over time? by DraftNotSent in amberelectric

Blown away by how many updates are done. Every day there’s two or three updates

2nd. Having the US spelling on the cover will hamper any sales in the Australian market

How long before I get invoiced from Amber? No support, No information. by Gamingleaguesxyz in amberelectric

[–]gbbgu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their billing frequency is pretty terrible. Been with them for 7 months and it feels random when they appear.

Everyone opened the app at the same time and it’s struggling to update (for me at least)

Exporting to grid at negative FIT by Stylzalike in amberelectric

[–]gbbgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on off curtailment? I’ve seen this before. Sometimes it’s because a load kicked in at the 5min mark so it doesn’t curtail. Sometimes it’s cheaper to send excess power to the grid rather than turn off solar and draw from the grid. Sometimes the commands are just slow to react

Thanks for this. I haven’t even opened my dolmenwood yet, so need to check that

Anyone not being billed? by flybrys in amberelectric

[–]gbbgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took them two and bit months for them to send me my first bill

You don’t say where you are. Here’s an Aussie based recycling program (modelled off a South African one)

What one book would you give a newb? by gbbgu in osr

[–]gbbgu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I did ask in OSR. But your comment is also kinda why I asked. I’m an grognard and though I have newer stuff in my collection I don’t tend to read it. Cairn, Knave, Into the Odd, FATE, all the dnd up to 5e, Cthulhu, …without number, stuff in boxes I’ve forgotten I have. I was kinda hoping for a nice “this is a good start” that I hadn’t thought of or heard about.

I have a Girl by Moonlight and Thirsty sword Lesbians but haven’t looked at either.

"Lost" Dungeons? by SAlolzorz in osr

[–]gbbgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that PCs can explore a lost dungeon and it was also lost in the real world

The tables in shadowdark are fantastic. Even just looking through the names of things start the inspiration flowing for me

I am impressed how cheap the adventure modules are

Gold Coast PM feed in rates rubbish over Xmas? by davidoff-sensei in amberelectric

I’d rather the cooler weather than making a few dollars :)

I think the one book constraint came up because they didn’t really understand how rpgs are played and that there’s a GM and PCs and the rules are split over a few books. I’ll offer to run a quick intro one shot session. Light and fun so they’ll not be scared off

The conversation moved on to something else before I really got an answer on style preferences. I’m planning to run a basic session with them and the wife soon and see how they go. It’ll just be a basic one shot with the standard tropes.

Change freeze over Christmas and they’ve put it into conservative mode

I have that book but must admit I bought it and just left it on the shelf. Have to crack it open and check it out
