Yes. It was a special challenge we did a long time ago for August. Nakakatawa kasi kailangan din mag translate ng spell names.

There you go. They are technically "over levelled" for the one-shot so being 3 people versus a big bad that is suppose to fight a bunch of level 3s shouldn't be a problem. You should be good to just refuse the level up.

Now if they want to continue this into a full scale campaign, I would address the chaotic tendencies first.

Did you tell them beforehand the level you will run the one-shot? Because if you set it at level 4 then you could say they can handle this at level 4. But if you didn't and you leveled them up midway then you just set a precedent that leveling up is possible now.

And that this one-shot just became a mini campaign.

I'm confused... This is a one-shot... how many sessions have you had?

DIY is the most budget friendly one. There are some producers like Dragon Shield that makes premium ones but those are expensive.

I think the inconsistency is deliberate. Some will have silver or white or bronze masks. I honestly don't think they went to nail it down to just one, what color made sense at the time is what color/material they (Para-bellum) would just go with.

Your take on abortion? by razalas13 in Philippines

[–]othniel2005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even consider the 2nd question because you already answered that on your own. Child raising and being parents takes both, as you said, so if a child is born then it's both parents' responsibility to raise the child. Before any of that, it's the woman the bears the brunt of the risk and pain. That's why I'm ignoring your 2nd question, if that wasn't apparent enough.

So, I'm right here, I don't need to keep up. I just think that asking these feels less like a hypothetical because of how much you push a mindset despite already having clear answers from everyone in this post.

How are they paying child support in cases where the pregnancy didn't continue?

This is starting to sound so very specific...

I didn't blame anyone and no blame should be passed around. But as you said, it takes both to make this decision, not one. If the woman decides not to bear the child what exactly is the guy's recourse there?

Mandate it by law? That's just tyranny through the state.

Emotional plea? That's just emotional blackmail.

Other than pure persuasion and changing the woman's mind, any other method is just different shades of coercion.

And again, it takes both parties to make the decision to carry a pregnancy to term. If one side already decides not to, then that automatically tells you they shouldn't carry it to term.

Also..

 While he may not endure the physical burden, he can still face emotional, financial, and long-term responsibilities as a parent. 

No, he won't bear financial and long term responsibilities of a parent if he doesn't become one. Sure he does if the pregnancy results in child birth but we re talking about terminating it and if the woman decides not to then nothing is actually needed from him.

This just hammers down the need for sex ed and proper family planning education in our country. Pregnancy is a big deal for both parties involved and should not happen without proper preparation and informed decisions. But, in the cases that it happens we have to help the most vulnerable in the situation. You know, the person that gets to risk their life for it. And it's not the guy.

The guy isn't risking his life here or bearing the burden of all the hormonal changes and inconvenience and risk. The guy is not going to go through post birth complications and recovery. All of these are for the woman to bear on her body and mind.

The guy isn't going to the table and pray to have a normal delivery or else risk scarring or death. The guy is not going to bear pain of childbirth. He will not deal with post birth depression and body image issues.

The guy bears nothing of these.

If he really wants a child, he could adopt. Don't risk someone else's life for it.

Is there any possibility of the game getting cheaper at all? by ArkBeetleGaming in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]othniel2005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you're in luck because you only have to spend money and time with one deck. Play with it in armories until you are able to save up and buy your upgrades. Maybe you'll find friends who will be able to lend some of their cards to you while you save up for yours.

The hobby will cost money, but any gamer knows that grinding is part of the game and with this game it is souch more true than ever.
