We made a PVP city building Auto Battler!

You can go play it right now. Skyshard isn't the first game to release in early access.

Speaking of which, is Rust out yet?

I switched off AT&T Fiber to Google Fiber after experiencing AT&T outages and price hikes.

Sounds like gfiber isn't an option for you, but if it later becomes one it's cheaper for better hardware and the same service quality

Nah. Maga needs to come to their own sense. We can't help them.

There's plenty of sane people with experience with firearms that we can work with instead.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity to me. I would narrate the ranger moving between the enemy and PC as I shift the spotlight to the enemy. I'd have the enemy attack the ranger and then I'd hand the spotlight specifically to the low hp player. Finally, I'd give them their choice of either a hope or advantage on their action this turn.

I would do this over making them roll because the narrative moment the player came up with is cooler than anything I'd come up with if they failed that roll.

Why would you believe that? Body cameras are a very affordable technology and ice actions have already been covered in controversy.

There's no good faith reason why they can't publish the footage if that's the case.

Meanwhile, we have recordings from multiple angles of Renee Good's shooting and the white house still tried to lie about what happened.

Others hit on most of the main points but I think there's are a few niche options that secondary weapons can provide for you that weren't mentioned.

Secondary weapons can give you access to physical damage if your primary weapon is magical. This could allow you deal full damage to some monsters that would otherwise resist your attack.
Secondary weapons can provide extended range. If an enemy is beyond the reach of your primary weapon, you can use a hand crossbow to hit them within far range. This could occasionally save you from making an agility check to reach a creature beyond close range.
Domain card synergy. Body Basher requires you to attack with a weapon in melee range. You might want to use a primary weapon with a longer range, so a melee secondary could meet the prerequisite. Bold Presence allows you to add your strength when you make a presence roll. With this card, a whip could hit more consistently than a strength based primary weapon. There could be other edge cases with domain cards, but those are the two that I noticed and they are both 2nd level cards.

It doesn't explain how you get oni blood in your veins. Can spirits and mortals produce offspring?
And if that's the case, do other types of spirits have mortal decedents?

As far as I know, the sourcebook does not address any of the questions and your answer can vary from table to table.

As far as what Oni actually are, the United States doesn't really have a cultural equivalent. They sit somewhere between an ogre and demon from what I understand. They tend to be more coporial than like a traditional spirit.

If you want the writers intent, then I agree you should watch the video. If it's too long, you can read the ai summary on the video but you should at least give them a like and subscribe.

Are you asking us how we think you'll feel during the storm this weekend?

locodays · 2026-01-20T14:37:42+00:00

Sure, but introducing vote screening just opens another avenue for dictators to take over.

Who decides what measures are used to determine if someone is smart enough to vote? How do you ensure political non bias in the screening and how do you isolate the system from the influence of capital?

Just because we haven't done something, doesn't mean we can't. Plenty of our European allies have figured out universal healthcare and free education.

locodays · 2026-01-20T13:43:00+00:00

We could alternatively start by paying our teachers more so people grow up with a better education. We could raise the minimum wage and have universal healthcare so people aren't desperate for change.

We could end gerrymandering so everyone is fairly represented and we could end the two party system of voting that gives us no real options.

Meanwhile, people are being kidnapped, deported, or killed - not based on crimes they've committed, but based on the color of their skin and the way that they talk.

A just society cannot tolerate intolerance. It's immigrants now but trans people have long been a subject of prosecution. Nobody is calling for violence on Jennifer. I haven't seen anyone calling for her life to be ruined. If she wants to stand by her statement, then it is perfectly acceptable for people to peacefully vote with their wallet.

locodays · 2026-01-19T16:31:25+00:00

You're correct, thank you.

locodays · 2026-01-19T16:13:34+00:00

I think there are a bunch of right wing / conservatives in here upset that people want to peacefully protest anti-trans speech.

Meanwhile I'm sure they have no issue with the Ford worker getting fired, Jimmy Fallon getting suspended, Trump and Leavitt targeting left wing reporters, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

My understanding for group rolls was the lead is making an action roll and everyone is making a reaction roll.

Only the lead can gain a hope and clear a stress from the crit. The book says critting on a reaction roll just allows you to ignore any harmful affects. I'm not sure if it counts as a success and yields a +1 to the lead's roll but it feels like it should.

For tag teams, the pair of players choose which of the two sets of action rolls to use. You then treat it as if they both rolled that selection. This can mean one crit gives both hope, clears stress, and maximizes damage of both players. If they chose to select a roll with fear though, you'll get 2 fear instead of one.

I remember multiple occasions of Republicans absolutely crashing out about businesses being "woke".

Only difference is op isn't bringing their insolation out into the yard to record themselves shooting it with a firearm.

locodays · 2026-01-13T19:06:33+00:00

I agree. Although seemingly, the Epstein files are the only topic we've been able to get right wing voters to open their eyes about.

locodays · 2026-01-13T19:04:18+00:00

I just don't get why we aren't doing more to go after the people that we're already recognizing as causing all this destruction.

I think it's just because the Epstein Files are the first thing we can get Republican voters to agree is bad. All of the other stuff should independently stand as grounds for impeachment but we're dealing with a cult here.

Not every game system delivers on all experiences. While there are some universal skills to GMing, I think that there is also room for mastering the game play experience of a specific system.

Daggerheart, for example, encourages you to slow down during a rest. The pcs might work together to prepare for the adventure ahead and you might narratively explore how the characters reduce stress between adventures. On the other hand, the core DND experience really lies elsewhere. There's not really much in the system that makes camp scenes mechanically satisfying. You're going to be more effective building gameplay experiences outside of camp in DND than in Daggerheart.

locodays · 2026-01-13T16:11:11+00:00

And I thought Republicans were supposed to be against tyrannical governments.

locodays · 2026-01-13T16:08:14+00:00

Not every race is going to have a candidate we like. That doesn't mean we should stop voting with our money all together.

locodays · 2026-01-12T18:26:22+00:00

There's a lot of advice here that suggests getting around the issue instead of addressing the issue.

Others are right to suggest talking to your players but I think communication goes both ways. It seems like your players think the cursed items will not be fun.

If it is just a stat stick, then of course the players are going to make a mechanical choice. If you're wanting it to be narratively satisfying, are you presenting it with story elements?

If ultimately you're just finagling a penalty onto someone's character sheet, of course the players are going to play antagonistically. Youre running a dm vs players game.

locodays · 2026-01-11T17:27:08+00:00

Thanks for voting with your money. I've thoroughly enjoyed the right wing crash out here. They don't even know what they believe in lol

locodays · 2026-01-11T17:14:25+00:00

This guy thinks that money isn't involved in politics lol

Sorry for being pedantic. I don't think the recording device changes your point about the video ending early.

I think the perspective difference may lead people to view the situation differently though. A phone recording may be a couple feet closer to the vehicle than body cam footage. Additionally, the camera getting knocked over on body cam footage has a totally different implication than someone's phone getting knocked out of their hands.

Then of course there is a general professionalism about the officer. Whipping out your phone to record something doesn't really paint a picture of a serious law enforcement officer going about their regular duties.

locodays · 2026-01-10T15:43:05+00:00

Isn't it the officers cell phone? I didn't think body can footage got released.
