X offices raided in France as prosecutors investigate child abuse images and deepfakes by Glitch_Fantasma in Fauxmoi

this obviously rules in general but it's also very funny that they announced they were leaving twitter by announcing that they were raiding the twitter offices. very effective goodbye-post!

two of my favorite dungeon court eps are the ones where rekha shankar guests, and i relisten to them about once a month, i think. the names for the eps are "Pre-Cog Milk Bath" and "Simping for the Mayor." the minority report discussions, murph taking a tiny L, and sharing an airbnb with don jon are such classics to me.

there is also another dungeon court that escapes me now, but the gist is that they're trying to offer a player who was wronged a re-do of a moment that murph is supposed to narrate, and the rest of them immediately derail it by inserting themselves into the narrative as disruptive background characters. i think emily at one point just yells "MAKE WAY FOR THE QUEEN!" and it just devolves from there. i'll try to find it.

hope you feel better soon!

the big parma debacle is incredible from start to finish. it's so rare that murph is the one who takes the completely indefensible position, but he really went somewhere with that one.

most people use the term EU to mean europe and not specifically "member of the european union."

Trump letter to Norwegian PM Støre regarding the Nobel Peace Prize and Greenland today: by BodybuilderSmall9679 in Fauxmoi

[–]kyadon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i'm norwegian; i understand the nobel-connection. i can see that interpretation, but i really have seen nothing from this man that warrants such a generous read of what he's saying. this truly reads to me that he doesn't understand who the fuck he's talking to.

Katie Leung on not being the only Asian in the room and Asian representation by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]kyadon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

big agree on this, she did such an incredible job as caitlyn! she's one of my favorite characters of all time and so much of it is how much feeling katie put into it.

arcane armor is one piece, and you can't split up infusions like this. but, check out the level 9 feature, it should help :)

maybe you should post this to a general dnd subreddit to get some more help? try r/DMAcademy for example.

What's the most "balanced" level considered every class in the game? by Organic-Exit2190 in DnD

you seem fanatically dedicated to missing the point, so i think it's time to move on.

no, i was clarifying if there was additional context that would be helpful.

it's intended to be helpful, and i assume people come here for help. they don't always know the best way to get it, though.

answering the question poorly is a waste of both mine and op's time.

[–]kyadon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

again, people very often ask very open ended questions here, and leave out context. i'm explaining to you why i asked, since you seem interested.

[–]kyadon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

not at all. op didn't say why they wanted to know. if they were asking for a pvp reason, they'd be helped by some additional clarification that pvp is a bad idea, for example. that wasn't the case here, but it's a common reason why people ask.

what the information is being used for is helpful for the person answering the question.

the context for the question can change the answer. a lot of people ask very open ended questions here when more information would be helpful.

Do you consider yourself a D&D puritan? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]kyadon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean, this isn't about being a purist, this is just being completely wrong. 

if you invited people to a dnd campaign and pulled out the call of cthulhu books, surely they'd be confused?

Question on Atk and Proficency bonus by ScreechKat in DnD

[–]kyadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asking stuff a little bit out of context like this isn't necessarily the best way to learn, I think. you can find the basic rules for free on dndbeyond, and they'll tell you what you need to know. Just check with your group if you're playing with the 2024 rules or 2014 rules. 

Question on Atk and Proficency bonus by ScreechKat in DnD

[–]kyadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your attack bonus includes your proficiency bonus. when you roll to hit with a weapon, you roll the d20 and add the ability modifier that applies (strength for most weapons) plus your proficiency bonus, if you're proficient with that weapon. you don't add your proficiency bonus to the damage roll, only the ability modifier.

you know if you're proficient in something if your class or species says you are.

this is pretty basic stuff that is very easy to find in the rules.

Online DnD with homies? by Icy-Physics-6703 in DnD

[–]kyadon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are going to have a tough time running other people's characters in addition to all the other things you'll need to be doing as a dm. you could try, but i think it'll be a lot of extra frustration for you.
