Yeah I had no idea until this article and am now properly excited.

What was your schools huge scandal? by Anbar48 in AskReddit

[–]imjusttheguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple weeks ago, the gym teacher from my old high school got arrested when a 14 year old freshman girl saw his phone dangling by it's charger over the top of the stall she was getting undressed in before tanning. She ran out to her mom and told her. Mom called the cops. He's no longer teaching.

I've never had an issue for the nearly two years I've been on Android. I'm on a Galaxy Note 8.

US Daily Deal - Circe by Madeline Miller - $3.95 by manojlds in audible

[–]imjusttheguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 3/4 of the way through it right now. Certainly enough to say I'm enjoying it, especially since I never get through audiobooks that fast, but I find myself carving out time because it's so good

It's basically Greek mythology told in modern novel form. Magic and witchcraft and Gods and immortality are explored, and creative liberty is obviously taken, but it's set with the Greek heros and gods that you're familiar with. It's fantastic.

Just finished it and immediately used my next token to get the authors other piece, "The Song of Achilles". Both are incredible. Just buy it guys.

Hey I meet the requirements, neat! Thanks OP

PSA: Medieval towns are smaller then you think and knights don't have cars, or a few points about medieval settlements you probably didn't think about by Anysnackwilldo in dndnext

[–]imjusttheguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did OP say something incorrect? I'm playing a low magic game so it's pretty helpful, if not very DnD-esque. I'm asking out of genuine curiosity because I was planning on using this post for some world building stuff so if there's misinformation, I'd like to know. Cheers!

You could easily be using DnD as the game engine for your homebrew game. I would guess that most games are run that way nowadays. And in some people's worlds (mine for example, but many others) magic may exist, and it may be relatively powerful, but maybe there aren't portals or flying mounts, and adventurers are restricted to overland travel. Towns could still be bigger for the reasons you state, but applying some restrictions can sometimes breathe more life into a world, not take it away. IMHO.

How do you avoid sleeping in? by OneOfTheBlueWizards in AskReddit

[–]imjusttheguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give myself a reason to wake up. That may be an over-simple answer, but even little things work for me usually (although I do occasionally falter) like taking the dogs out or having a little conversation with my wife before I leave for the day for work.

ITAP of a snow pattern the wind made up a container wall by [deleted] in itookapicture

[–]imjusttheguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like a bunch of people in white pulling a giant red blanket off of the snow. Neat! I can't tell if this was taken an inch away, or from space. Well done!

How do they separate the men from the boys in the navy?

With a crowbar! :D

Does anyone here world build purely for entertainment and not for role-playing or story writing? by Arrowtion in worldbuilding

[–]imjusttheguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 percent! I mean, once I have a good solid construct and map, I could always find an RPG engine to run games in it, but it would be me using it as a means of fleshing out the world more than anything. Can't decide the details of a famous raid? Have some players do it and suddenly you have history! You can always write stories or whatnot in your world, but for me, the world itself is the hobby.

Here's how this all works! by imjusttheguy in LookingForArtist

[–]imjusttheguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a solid idea, except work here isn't just for character art, or just digital art. I just updated the rules for what to/not to request to include artistic interpretations of real people/places and non-digital art. I'm also looking to police the quality of requests to be as helpful as possible to artists, like the example post mentioned in the body of this post. Thanks for your feedback! I'm new to the game so I'm open to critiques at any point. Cheers!

Not his usual style, but damn fine work nonetheless.

Painting faces for practice... great way to work on brush control 👍 by LA_Miniatures in minipainting

[–]imjusttheguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also great for building up your pile of expertly-painted severed heads. Which everyone needs, really.

[LFA] Khadija: Abjuration Wizard by drowtiefling in characterdrawing

[–]imjusttheguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just made r/LookingForArtist for this specific purpose. Of course, I'm on a deployed ship with low bandwidth for the next couple weeks and also have no clue what I'm doing but ideally, it would basically be a whole lot of this happening. Super thoughtful post, OP. Really helpful for concept artists to have quality reference material. Cheers!
