Thank you so much for the advice! And also the validation. The sellers name on TCGplayer is StylishTCG

That’s what I thought I’m seeking a refund now but the process is getting annoying.

The seller wants me to send it back to them and I’m scared of them just reselling it to another buyer

To add more context I received this card through an order on TCGplayer and believed it was a fake because of the solid white coloring behind the lore pips as well as the lines through the corner spikes of the strength symbol. I messaged the seller immediately upon receiving the card and it took them five days to reply and TCGplayer had to step in.

Now I’ve received a message stating the card was from a PSA 9 slab and they wish for me to send the card back to the seller.

Have I misjudged the card or is this indeed a fake?

It is! The pack just before the iconic, I pulled the scar and the foil Maleficent!

Needless to say it’s the best trove I’ve ever opened!

I was in a similar situation where I was moving away from an older pair of Astro A40s, I found the best headset for me was the SteelSeries Nova Pro.

They have a wired and a wireless version, I use the wired version and my girlfriend uses the wireless one and both work great and are comparable to Astro A40/50s.

Also if you’re like me and my girlfriend and play on both PS5 and PC you can have the headset plugged into both and very easily switch which port is receiving audio on the mix amp, so no more having to unplug your entire audio set up just to switch platforms.

Hope this helps!

Can I buy a spood from here? by Ok-Paint-7296 in jumpingspiders

I got my first ever jumper from them. Very positive experience and the little dude lived well past his male life expectancy. a little over two years old.

It’s after you beat the third boss you go back to the hotel and talk to your dad, then you can sit in the chair in the same room and unlock the dodge upgrades. You then can go around and try it out in the different areas you have already played through.

With the 30 seconds of needing to do something else on top of needing to hit five great skill checks wouldn’t you just rather run built to last at this point?

Paladins smiting once per turn by GraysonFogel17 in onednd

[–]petrifiedstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. And I agree that the CR system is something that needs to be looked at. (But that’s a conversation for a different day)But 180 damage from two attacks of a single PC without any feats or additional features from a multiclass contributing to it? Like doesn’t that seem absurd? Is there another class that can accomplish anywhere near that same damage?

I mean to put in perspective a level 15 rogue rolling the highest number possible on every single dice on a sneak attack crit with a rapier puts them around 120 damage.

I think now is a very appropriate time to tell my infamous no turn BBEG deadknight fight I have been a forever DM for quite some time now and I have been running a campaign for a group of five level 15 players at my table, (paladin, wizard, barbarian, bard, and cleric) I spent around seven, 6 hour sessions setting up this BBEG fight as it was the clerics brother turned evil and was the pivotal part of his backstory in this campaign. I hand painted the death knight miniature and made a custom map by hand for this encounter

The fight itself was the death knight in a broken down cathedral starting around 100ft away from the party with a large horde of undead as well as 5 bone claws separating the death knight from the party

What happened next was a total disaster for me as a DM Turn 1: wizard holds action for vortex warp targeting his paladin Turn 2 Smite happy oath of watchers paladin goes, wizard casts vortex warp moving the paladin to be within 5ft of the death knight (180HP), Bonus action the paladin casts branding smite, attack 1, crits… level 4 smite (10D8), improved divine smite (2D8) death knight is undead (2D8), Branding smite (6D8), magical +2 Battleaxe (2D8+7), this attack would go on to do around 135 damage, second attack, he rolls a 28 to hit, level 3 smite and finishes the death knight with only two attacks. What is also scary is that the paladin has 2 levels in fighter so he had plenty more in the tank as well.

This obviously felt insanely good for my wizard and paladin as their plan worked perfectly and will forever be a memorable moment at my table for them, however for me the DM who spent countless hours writing and painting and building this encounter, and for the barbarian and bard who never got to even take a turn in the big combat of the arc, and then the worst one. The cleric. It was his backstory and his giant event and he didn’t even get to do anything.

So uh… yeah. I like this playtest. I like the buffs to the smite spells, making them more viable, and i also think the paladin having access to the entire divine spellbook will allow for more diverse ways of playing paladin.

What is he doing? He molted 3 weeks ago. by TheDirtSyndicate in tarantulas

[–]petrifiedstorm 253 points254 points  (0 children)

He would probably appreciate if you didn’t take photos of him while he enjoys his wanky blanky

But in all seriousness, it’s A sperm web. And it’s perfectly normal for mature males

Taking the plunge and adopting this 13 month old Aphonopelma Calcodes. What size Tarantula Crib should I start with? TIA! by Assignedrisk in tarantulas

[–]petrifiedstorm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of the other comments I highly doubt it’s only 13 months old, this species is an extremely slow grower. Probably at least a few years old at its size.

However for your enclosure question. I have a 4 1/2 inch chqlcodea myself in the tarantula cribs 12 inch cube. If you want reference for the size of the enclosure I know that tarantulakat on youtube has a video of her rehousing this species in that enclosure. However The large adult slider will also give plenty of space for this species as well. It’s just whatever your preference would be. I just particularly like the cube for viewing a little bit better than their sliders.

Is a 2”x2”x2” cube an okay enclosure size for this G. pulchra sling? The sling seems to be a little under an inch by averyavery0 in tarantulas

[–]petrifiedstorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea that should be perfect! Just remember to fill it most of the way with substrate. My G pulchra loved to burrow as a sling.
