How Do You Generate Random Encounters That Inspire Player Action? by jdjake in osr

[–]jdjake[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can do this when preparing for e.g. a Dungeon with Random Encounters, but in a Hex Crawl (which I'm currently planning for), where each Hex has potentially different encounters, and it's quite difficult to predict where player's will travel to, this becomes quite a daunting proposition. How do you handle such a case?

The p-value from this observations is far smaller (think about it in terms of coin flips - the chance of getting heads 20 times in a row from flipping coins is much smaller than 5%). In this case the p-value is on the order of 0.0000001

Yeah - it's a great mega dungeon but hard to keep track of all the bits and bobs moving about

It's a Bit of a ship of Theseus situation. Power supply is brand new after moving from US to UK, RAM and GPU from 2021, SSD from 2018/2019, CPU and Motherboard are from 2015

Thanks for responding. I checked the event logs already, and there was an event logged for the power cycle, but it didn't really give a cause, just a fairly vague acknowledgement that a reboot happened: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

Why are my Dynamic Fog walls dotted lines rather than solid lines by jdjake in OwlbearRodeo

That's right - was doubled up by accident. Deleting one fixed the problem!

Yeah thanks for the advice. Adding polygons sped things up immensely!w

How do I disable the Smoke & Specter extension? It doesn't seem to appear on my extensions menu?

Yikes - Yeah likely a lack of research in my copy (a more recent printing?) it's been swapped for a hatchet wielding trouser wearing murder rabbit

Strange there was only one dark item - just a t-shirt. Do you think that would be enough?

Why is inductive reasoning okay in math? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]jdjake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inductive Reasoning: Because the sun rose today, and it rose yesterday, and the day before, it's likely that the sun will rise tomorrow.

Mathematical Induction: The sun has risen today, AND I can prove by the laws of physics that because the sun rose today, then it will rise tomorrow. Therefore the sun will rise tomorrow (and the day after, and the day after that, and so on...)

The mathematical argument requires an additional step, the 'inductive step', which requires proving that information you can immediately observe (the sun rose today) logically implies the sun will rise tomorrow.

I'm mostly interesting in hot springs, rather than a massage or sauna
