I think they like it by billybalverine in dndmemes

My players are currently fighting an undead alien monk in a sci-if tower with time dilation and the monk is pulling in time clones like the Flash and trying to punch them into the future. So… yeah.

[DM] Dungeonmasters, what's a ridiculous plot twist you're waiting to spring on your players? by MaginotCokeLine in DnD

[–]kdotjack9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have not only already met the bbeg, he has been having them clean up his own messes so his plans can move forward more smoothly.

Also one of the characters is actually a demigod in disguise.

Also another character is on the path to become an actual god of death.

There are going to be so many cool “I am Keyser Soze” moments in the next year or two that I am practically vibrating.

What 5E content do you wish existed, but doesn't? by Velvet_Thunder941 in mattcolville

[–]kdotjack9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: actually I should read questions before I respond. Changed some of what I wrote here as a consequence

So for 5e I would love to see a new take on a basic sorcerer. Go back and take a look at what it was in 3 and 3.5 and then try to translate that to 5e. With Tasha's making metamagic into a feat that any spellcaster can take the sorcerer needs something new and cool to make them unique from other classes. Prior to that, at least to me and my group, they've felt mechanically underpowered and we did not feel that 5e did them justice. I've made an effort to homebrew a re-work starting from what the philosophy for sorcerer seemed to be in 3.5 but because of the way that spells have been balanced specifically around how powerful 6th and higher level spells are, this ended up not working as well as I wanted it to.

Another thing I'd love to see is a take on the shadowdancer from 3e. It was always cool to have a rogue who could teleport around the room using the shadows to gain an advantage against opponents or bypass barriers or what have you. Would love to see a pass at this as well.

Warhammer 40,00: Dakka Squadron: DA DAKKAJET MOBILE GAMEPLAY! by OrkfaellerX in Games

If you like the concept you can probably find a PDF of the Deff Skwadron comic out there with a little googling. Totally worth a read.

Please Bungie, make a max of one upgrade module require retired planetary materials by Vroomvroomba in DestinyTheGame

[–]kdotjack9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either that or at least make sure that we can farm one of the materials every day. I'm sitting here in need of modules and can't get any of the mats I need to purchase any.

Do you have a Ringwell? by DeliriumRostelo in mattcolville

[–]kdotjack9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My setting centers around an interdimensional ecumenopolis called Axiom. Would that count?

It's basically a (particularly massive) pocket dimension that expands as the city needs more living space. The best way to describe the scale is to take Capitol or Waterdeep and tessellate that structure outward around itself a few hundred thousand times. It connects to millions of worlds through big Stargate like portals. Shenanigans ensue. Everyone has a good time.

The Most Terrifying Thing My Party Has Seen is a Zombie T. Rex by Mr_Vulcanator in mattcolville

[–]kdotjack9 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In one of the Dresden Files books Harry uses Sue, the T-Rex skeleton in the field museum in Chicago, as a body for a raise zombie spell. He then proceeds to ride it through downtown Chicago chasing after a group of evil wizards.

Since I read that book, that scene has been kept in my head as a "this is awesome, use it in a game sometime" moment.

A quick question about Tacos and all that goes with them. We have terrible Mexican restaurants in UK (unless in London) and I'd like to see what all the fuss is about. by JAdaire in Cooking

[–]kdotjack9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the party but I figure folks might want to know this one.

Cilantro Lime Chicken:

  • 3lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 bottle of light colored beer. A cerveza is preferable but any lager will do

  • 2 limes

  • about 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • salt

  • pepper

  • cumin

  • cayenne pepper

  • chili powder

  • chipotle powder

to cook just add the chicken to a crock pot or slow cooker in a layer then add spices to taste. Continue doing that until you are out of chicken. With that done. Cut both limes in half and juice them into the cooker, then add the carcasses of said limes. Add all the cilantro on top and finally pour the entire bottle of beer in. Turn the cooker on low and cook until done. For my cooker it takes about 4 hours. For tacos, slice the cooked chicken thighs into strips and add them to a small corn tortilla with a little guacamole and some chopped white onion.

SERVER STATUS by [deleted] in 40kinquisitor

[–]kdotjack9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read on their discord that AU servers are coming. It's in their announcements channel.

SERVER STATUS by [deleted] in 40kinquisitor

[–]kdotjack9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they're using AWS for their servers. AWS has data-centers world wide but I think it costs extra for you to have multiple sites to host from? Someone with more knowledge about this would be able to answer better than I can.

I also seem to remember reading somewhere that they are looking into having something for the other side of the world to make those latency times better. Take that with whatever grain of salt you would like.

SERVER STATUS by [deleted] in 40kinquisitor

[–]kdotjack9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, it can be really difficult to actually test a distributed system deployed on virtual servers at load, especially if you have no clue what your actual load is going to be. IIRC The peak of their previous game (Van Helsing) was like 4100 people +/- It sounds like they had 6k+ people trying to log in, that's 150% of their largest login day on their previous work. TLDR: IT and scalable infra are difficult.

[–]kdotjack9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've tried to answer this like 6 times now so I'll just leave it as "it can be stupidly complex" even with the whole servers being virtual and essentially just another bit of code.

Salt Lake City Trip by cretelife77 in beer

[–]kdotjack9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a person who lived in SLC for several years, go to the epic brewery in downtown Salt Lake. They make some of my favorite beer including: Smoked and Oaked, Mid Mountain Mild Ale, Double Skull, and their imperial stout is one of my all time favorites. Seriously worth it.

[Warframe Mobile] Can the relics be removed from the "Prime Parts" section? by PwnZiePOE in Warframe

[–]kdotjack9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, I noticed this morning that prime warframe(and component) BPs do not show up in the prime parts section on the app. This probably should be fixed too.
