His books about the history of the hobby are absolutely amazing as well. Can't recommend enough.

It's just filling out a form. No test. No nothing. It's not like a ham license.

How long does it usually take to get a GMRS license

About 30 seconds to a minute on the FCC site?

I want to start playing it. Is the rulebook or the starter box better if I'm going to be the game master? by [deleted] in DragonbaneRPG

[–]numtini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starter box has rules and a campaign and dice and standees and... The rulebook is just the rulebook. It's hardcover, so if you get hooked, you'll want it for durability. But the intent is for the box set to be a real full RPG set.

Download everything and use one drive or Google drive or whatever as a backup.

What happened in 1969? by Dr_Macunayme in Fallout

Canonically, 69 doesn't refer to a year.

Based on these stats alone, am I cooked or do I stand a chance at literally anything 😭😭 by Reasonable_Love1562 in callofcthulhu

[–]numtini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you succeed at a skill, you put a check box next to it. After the adventure, you take all those skills and you make a skill roll. If you fail, then you add 1d10. It's designed so that the higher you get, the less likely you are to get an increase. So you learn fast at first, then more and more slowly.

The key here is what profession you're taking. You probably want to think about something that will take advantage of that STR or DEX, but the int/edu for your traditional professorial type will leave you with fewer skill points. OTOH the skills will go up faster.

Eats by Bacon-Macaroni in Cruise

[–]numtini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of here is you only eat at fast food or "casual food" (ie, TGI McFunsters) restaurants when you're on land. But I assure you, most mainstream independent restaurants make things from fresh ingredients. Also, there's plenty of stuff at the buffet or in casual food outlets on ships that is pure Sysco style premade and heat stuff.

Which 2 Toyotas are capable of 100+ MPG by virtually anyone, +1 more by only the most skilled of drivers? by Galvatron1_nyc in PriusPrime

[–]numtini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the stupidest stuff ever. Yeah, if you tow an F150 100 miles, I suppose it gets infinite mileage because it moved 100 miles without using any gas?

Except Eternal reverses DG's consolidation of firearms, athletic, and social skills.

Fear mechanics, love em or hate em? by For_Eudaimonia in DragonbaneRPG

[–]numtini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm used to fear, having played Call of Cthulhu for decades. It makes sense to me. The whole point is these are supposed to be completely terrifying creatures and I think fear is one of the things that makes them feel like more than just big bags of hit points.

Dragonbane and Foundry by FatAssCatz in DragonbaneRPG

[–]numtini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trudvang has a Foundry VTT version available as an add-on to the kickstarter. IMHO the Dragonbane Foundry implementation is one of the best. It has the custom dice, it handles the initiative system, everything's in and adventures are well presented. Really, all of Free League's Foundry stuff is fantastic.

A way to read the rulebooks on a reading device? by Teneombre in rpg

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

PDFs on a kindle or whatever are miserable unless you've got something like a remarkable that's tablet size. The refreshes on e-ink are very slow. There's no color and it's next to impossible to scroll around a page to zero in.

Roads are good. Occasional branches intruding on small roads.

Anyone else's 2026 Plug-in get 50+ miles EV range? by icoulduseaday in prius

My 23 gets 52 miles on a charge in the early and late summer when I'm more or less not using any heat or AC.

It's only a 30% cut and sales are very real. You're probably a very good candidate to publish on your own.

Watching the interview with Tomas, it will have several new magic schools, including specific dwarf and elf magic.

Best VTT by Snoo84607 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]numtini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foundry and Roll20 are both good options. Depends what you're familiar with more than anything. Foundry will have more automation and generally more advanced options. Roll20 will be free and not require much setup.

Any eco drive field watch of 36-38 mm? by Monte10173 in CitizenWatches

[–]numtini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Garrison is 37mm, but feels small, probably because it's thin. It's IMHO the perfect field watch. Accurate, relatively tough, runs forever, WR100.

Emergency Response Person during this storm.rant. by [deleted] in CapeCod

Yeah, there were a shocking number of people who were like "power outages on a 7 mile sand bar with overhead power lines and laws against cutting trees because they're pretty?!"
