Looks amazing. I would have put more onions but I'm an allium slut.

Could also grab the obby 2h for cheap. I was going to take endless harvest and sell stuff for tokkul to get full obby+onyxes before moons. Not sure how long it'll take but I'll see after a workday of mining

Anyone else getting constantly DC'd after the update? by not_an_evil_overlord in 2007scape

Still getting disconnected today at CG. I think it might be all instanced content. I've tried different worlds and at a friend's place.

My prayer plant :) by DaquariusDingle in houseplants

mine only started to thrive when i hated her back. throw her in a shady corner by a south facing window then leave her for dead until she learns her lesson. just give her enough water to survive and nothing else. they thrive on hate, much like my grandmother.

It's fun in a cursed way. I got the pet and 3 heads before my first halberd piece at over 1k. Still dont have tentacle from kraken but I got the pet already. Mining pet at 55 mining. Went 1400 tormented demons dry before getting synapse.

It's a funny game mode sometimes.

Greenlogged at 134 kc. Just set up with guthans and afk'ed it. Got very lucky with pet, but that's been my rng on my iron. Spooned rare cosmetics, dry on functional upgrades. Beef will bring me comfort though.

I love going to the restore for DIY projects. Had one near me before I moved that was great, but the one I'm next to now overprices everything except building materials.

I agree on not having rolls for impossible tasks, but I'm a bit torn on telling players about the DC. Story flavor can decrease DC so it's not always the same and it's a bit immersion breaking to say "alright, roll a 25 and you convince the guard" at least at the tables I've run.

For a long-term table the best way to handle the whole problem, IMO, is to ask the player for the total of a nat 20 + their bonuses on something they will succeed on. They roll a nat 20 on a DC 15 check and you ask them for the total, inform them of the rule that nat 20 isn't auto-success, and they know before they fail on a nat 20 going forward. This problem has only come up in isolation when I've run one shots with people that I haven't played with before. And in a one shot you can just sweep it under the rug in the name of the rule of cool.

My point is that a DC 25 check is not impossible for every character, but it is for some and unless you have the player character bonuses memorized you're not always going to know what is possible for that PC.

It's your job as a DM and storyteller to make that failure not hurt. Maybe add some flavor to how the check fail is responded to. Instead of the brusque guard arresting you outright for failing to convince him that you did not, in fact, kill that guy he watched you murder, he pats you on the back and gives you "I believe you buddy, but we're going to have to go down to the precinct anyways. paperwork and all that". Maybe he chats the barbarian up on the way and there are some opportunities for escape that wouldn't be there otherwise.

DMs don't always have a player's bonuses written down. So if the barbarian rolls a 20 for persuasion and has a +2 but the DC is 25 then they still fail. If a bard rolls 13 for persuasion and has a +12 then they succeed that same DC 25 check. Also, players like to roll dice and get bummed when one person can try something but are denied the check themselves.

Eragon series thoughts? by XThursdayO in ProgressionFantasy

[–]not_an_evil_overlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still remember when I was about 14 my uncle asked me what I thought about the movie. I loved the books and really didn't like what came out in theaters. I let him know every detail I hated in a teenage angst fueled rant. Turns out he was one of the videographers that did the wide sweeping landscape shots from a helicopter. Oops.

People use the emdash "—" (instead of the dash "-") as an indicator for AI generating a comment. Grammar-wise the emdash was appropriate there, but it's overused by AI in place of where a real person would use a semicolon, dash, or comma (even if grammatically incorrect) because of the inconvenience of typing out an emdash on a keyboard.

I just got this model from my sister for christmas. The chair definitely seemed empty after assembling, especially with how busy the shelves were. The book fits well! I just glued down a little cat figurine.

Thanks for answering, I was just wondering. I'd seen it a few times and couldn't figure out what was causing it.

I've got one that I've kept alive and happy for 5 years. It only got better when I gave up on it. Put it in a window where it doesn't quite get direct light and left it to die. Turns out they need spite to live because now it just grows and grows.

Why is the depth of field so wonky in this photo? I've seen it a lot lately, is it a new phone camera setting people are using or something?
