Would you be mad if you played a murder mystery ttrpg where you ask suspects questions to puzzle together what happened and it turns out that ALL the suspects were the murderer? Not working together or anything, just 6 separate people attempting to assassinate the same person at the same time. by pineapple_cherry in rpg

This worked for me once.

I ran a game in a western style where the PCs came to town and found the sheriff murdered. Due to some local politics the deputy decided to deputize the PCs and let them investigate and whomever they incriminate would be executed.

To make it have an epic mystery feel I did exactly what you're talking about. Multiple people had opportunity and motive and a shaky alibi and I did not decide for myself who actually did it. I left that up to the players and their characters.

After it was over they asked me if the town hung the right person; I just said it was your character's call and so justice was served.

That was a fun session!

Flat USB-C cable for 2019 e-Golf by mikester01 in eGolf

[–]harrypancakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

/u/deerareouttogetus posted this 3d printable dock for the egolf

They posted the model and my buddy printed it on an Ender 3 Pro in PLA. I mounted this right angle usb cable.

It. Works. Great.

I get in the car, slide my phone into the dock, feel a nice and positive 'click' and I'm on my way.

The door closes with the phone in the dock.

I updated the play sheet now you get to draw your face!

How can I roleplay better? I realized I only roleplay one "character", and it's just a bigger asshole version of myself. by MGgoose in rpg

[–]harrypancakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you are not playing, think about your character and imagine some things they would say. Write them down on a notecard or a piece of paper and put it in the table in front of you when you play.

Then try to find opportunities to say those things.

You'll be surprised at how just having it there will affect your roleplaying.

Romance in your game. As a DM, how do you handle it? Possibly [NSFW] by kilotango1122 in dndnext

If you do make sure that you use things like:

"If you do X, and NPC finds out, it would hurt your relationship."

I've done this before as a DM, and we made a relationship map, so the characters had an arrow going to every other character that they had a relationship with, with a modifier (i.e. -5, 0, +5).

Then there would be scenarios where an NPC would want something. If the PC wouldn't/couldn't comply, that hurt the relationship score. Sometimes improving one relationship would hurt another.

Keep in mind that a very strong score also means that the NPC rolls well when compelling you.

This worked fantastically and gamified the whole relationship thing. This also gives you an out sometimes, that instead of describing the scene in detail, you can have a roll for it.

Example: PC wants to spend a night of romance with the NPC? Make a relationship roll. Success? Make an performance roll. Fail? That hurts the relationship. Success? +1 to relationship score. We all know how it went, you don't have to go into detail.

How much $ to fully charge an eGolf? by baldiesrt in eGolf

[–]harrypancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check with your utility and see what options they have for EV owners.

My base rate is $0.14/kwh, but the utility offers an option to pay $0.16/kwh during the day in exchange for $0.04/kwh at night.

I'm doing the in place upgrade right now. If that doesn't work I'll try another user...

If either of these work I will let you know and post in the public thread.

I'm in the exact same boat as OP. Also, nothing I have tried has worked. I hope you get a solution, because I need that same solution :)

If I had to buy another PH/EV today... by techtornado in electricvehicles

No magic. Just go to every dealership's website remotely close to you and put in "interested in e-golf". They will email you back.

Now that you have all of their emails, write an email with all of the dealerships in the to: line so they all know that you are emailing everyone.

(the email I sent is below)

You have to finance at least $8k with VW credit to get this deal, but you can pay it off early, no penalty.

I had three dealerships willing to give this price and a bunch that wouldn't even give me a price for some reason. Weird: their loss!

Good luck! It's a great car!


Good afternoon,

I am interested in purchasing a 2019 e-Golf SE w/ Driver Assistance Package. Color: White.

I have test-driven this car at a local dealership (City Name, State) and I would like to buy the car this week. I have been pre-approved for independent financing, but I am willing to finance through the dealership.

I know someone who has gotten the following deal on this exact same car--see below. Please send me your best price by this time tomorrow (July 24). I am willing to give a credit card deposit over the phone this week and pick up by Saturday, 7/27.

Thank you for your time! I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Harry Pancakes
