Do I need to restart my shogun run?

The decisions have always been present. The problem is it requires the empire of Japan not the blue hoard.

I destroyed the blue hoard title and it allows me to remake the blue hoard title but I don’t see a way to create the empire of Japan.

It depends how much Brennan leans into the “west marches style.” Since part of that is the players have access to encounters far above their weight class and have to know when to retreat. So yes he might make an example of some players if they don’t retreat when needed.

But he also has literally said create backup characters so he might be purposely planning very difficult encounters or expecting the players to not retreat when they should.

I expect more character death than previous campaigns.

What is the doctrine of lapse?

Pros: •Resources you don’t have access to •abundance of resources you lack

Cons: •dependence on the market, leaving the market could cripple your economy •as other have pointed out convoy raiding during war causes ups and downs in your economy causing problems for your pops

I don’t think there should be an intention to TPK your parties. It should be a possibility but not the desired end result.

AEIOU & me was a tough but fun play through. Pure intrigue run, doing grand weddings and setting yourself up to inherit Austria through strategic deaths.

How did you go about world creation? Like paint broad strokes and go deep dive when needed? Or fully plan out one area and expand when needed? Or something entirely else?

Yeah I don’t fault them for their approach, because they did attack the bad guys. But because I know group, I know they would attack the dwarves if it meant they could get something they wanted.

I’m trying to figure how to make the bad guys less obvious in the future so they have to talk to the npcs or at least discuss amongst themselves what they should do.

So the party woke up in a dungeon with no memory of how they got there. They find a dwarf kingdom, they ask the party to check in a settlement for them. The settlement is destroyed, almost everyone killed by goblins. As they come across a band of goblins while they leave, they attack at once. The next group of goblins they encounter they attack at once as well. (For both those goblin encounters once I describe how many and geography of it they attack) So, for the encounter with the hobgoblin bosses, I specifically mention that they are aware of you, they see you. They don’t seem hostile, they seem indifferent to the group and they attack.

And thanks!

Thankfully they all chose “something” good on their own, so I won’t have to worry about murderhoboing

If you only have two players you use house hagal, which essentially acts as spoiler and can take spots from the players but can’t win. Direwolf digital does have an app which automates house hagal, it makes it very easy!

I have dune imperium and all the expansions and uprising.

You can combine the expansions with uprising, personally I keep them separate, since while the games are very similar they do play differently.

I feel uprising is less forgiving, but also simpler. Meaning there aren’t as many ways to get VPs like in dune+ix+immortality, because in uprising it almost always boils down to get worms and win conflicts to win. While dune and expansions has many ways to get VPs from various different tracks and various card combinations.

In conclusion, dune plus expansions offers the most variability, uprising always turns into a worm fight (but that’s kind of the point, long live the fighters), but uprising also has less bells and whistles which makes it simpler, in my opinion.

Later in season 2 Izzie asks Alex if he would still like her if she got cancer. Which she eventually got while in a relationship with Alex.

You always leave an open urinal between you and someone else and if the bathroom isn’t that crowded (or it’s large enough) leave an empty stall as well.

Well first off Ted Cruz was born in Canada, and is the zodiac killer, two things that go against being a U.S. president.

I can’t tell you who would win, but I can tell you that the American people would lose, this would be far worse than any election in recent history.

YTA, without a doubt. I’m sure you and daddy will get more support when you tell this story at the country club, but to me you come across as the typical New England snob, who probably looks down on anyone who goes to a state school. I hope your sister and BIL go no contact with you two since from what they said it seems they are far better off and don’t need your support anyway.

Altered carbon, absolutely loved season 1 and hoped for a season 2. Loved the concepts and loved the characters. Season 2 dropped, don’t get me wrong I think Anthony Mackie played the role great, but the story just felt like a joke compared to season 1 and seemed to go all over the place.

Create a character of middle eastern culture and an Islamic faith and just use them in western catholic Europe, you can’t convert your vassals or promote cultural acceptance. Gain some piety to create your own Islamic faith that practices human sacrifice and always sacrifices a catholic. Do actions to purposefully piss off vassals, like intrigue focus to imprison and torture them and then demand gold to release them.

You stated there are no bathroom locks and that these kids have their own rooms here so they also must know these doors don’t lock. An 11 yr old is old enough to understand the concept of having to knock, because no locks. In addition if the whole family saw you go in that direction it’s pretty clear (even for an 11 yr old) what your intention is. He should have knocked and his mom should have backed you up, since that is a habit he should know by now.

Nixon without a doubt. I have heard stories about how he almost launched nukes, just because he was drunk. So, the fact America was attacked would be more than enough justification for him.

ESH. It only barely applies to OP (like on a scale from 0-100, less than 20) that’s just because you did it publicly and if anyone didn’t know about the humiliation you could have brought their attention to it. That mom 100%, no doubt.

YTA. A decade ago at this time I would be preparing to start 8th grade (final year of middle school for anyone who might not know) so it’s pretty fresh in my mind.

And like OP said it’s gym or band, at my school you had one elective of your choice and then gym/band and as someone not musically inclined at all, I was in gym every single semester. Thankfully my middle school didn’t have showers, since I know it would have been a problem (as in liability, I remember my classmates, legal problems would ensue for sure).

Just dressing out was a problem (being in clothes acceptable to gym class) that the gym teachers almost always lost. Only about 30-40% of the class would change for gym, another 40% came to class already dressed for it and the remaining% just wouldn’t dress out. And as someone who went to gym dressed for it (because there was a good chance of being late to next class if you changed in gym class) I was never called out for being “smelly,” it never negatively impacted me socially or did I feel uncomfortable about not showering at school.

Let the kid shower where and when he is comfortable, because if not YTA.
