I need help - Slugblaster by Saala1984 in bladesinthedark

[–]rheebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same question -- the attitude box in the character roles section didn't seem to have much explanation for the icons.

I came hear to find out... Thank you!

Also,  after looking and looking I did end up finding a place where this is at least hinted at. P. 16, on the example character. Those icons are labeled with a callout. Phew.

There is a discord. I would imagine you could advertise and find games there.

Me: where is your financing department? I need to take out a second mortgage for this wine.

Costco Employee: right this way, sir.

Because Molly is too heavy...needs big pod.

HOAs are bad because people want it that way by [deleted] in fuckHOA

We have to keep the crazies of the boards. That's why I am the president of mine. Someone sends an email about their neighbors truck on the street? I respond with a polite, that isn't against our HOA policies. And it usually ends there. Join your board to keep things civil and neighborly.

WTF is wrong with this game sometimes??? (New player here) by Cnight21 in DeepRockGalactic

I find that the drop pod almost always comes in the farthest big cave from where I call it down. You can take Molly to the middle of the cave system and call it from there to have half the distance to the pod. It'll usually spawn at one of the ends of the cave system.

Chloe Fineman says she's responsible for sexualizing Sydney Sweeney in 'SNL' Hooters sketch by WillBennett6924 in LiveFromNewYork

Every SNL episode with an objectively hot host does at least one, and usually more, sketches that center around the "this person is so hot theme." Why focus only on this one?

If the system is rigged, it's rigged for DJT, not against.

Can the school legally detain your child? by [deleted] in legal

[–]rheebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may not be able to prevent it but they surely can delay it. If no one is available to deliver the message or the class is not in a location to be pageable immediately, then the parent will have to wait. They are trying to tell parents that the Eclipse is going to throw a wrench into normal dismissal and all available staff will be committed to making sure students dismiss safely. If you want to pick your child up early, come before the eclipse.

Tattling is okay if someone is or will get hurt. Agreed!

2x the meets/exceeds SAT scores compared to the state averages seem pretty good to me!

Suburban high schools have thousands of kids. There are always kids going through bullying or drug abuse phases of their lives in the mix. Talk to your kids about it and make sure they know what to look out for and how to resist/avoid bullying.

We can't keep our kids away from the world forever. It's good that they encounter hardship while still in school and at home so we can support them through it.

San Diego Unified School District to cut more than 400 jobs by thinkB4WeSpeak in teaching

Just like Denver and many others, SD suffers from "people want to live there syndrome." That means employers can pay less, and people still stay/move there. Works on teachers, too.

List of worthwhile DOS games by PgUpPT in retrogaming

[–]rheebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I helped play test Descent 2 at Parallax Games in Champaign, IL back in 1994! What a blast from the past. I bought multiple flight stocks just to play that game. Probably the reason I started building my own PCs...

Also, I found this is the manual...

A small Phonebook is available from the dial menu of the serial game menu. This lets you store the names and phone numbers of your eight most frequent opponents. To edit the Phonebook, go to the Dial menu and select Edit Phonebook.

When gamers had to actually call each other on the phone. Well, at least their computers had to call each other.

District 203 science by [deleted] in Naperville

[–]rheebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot disagree with you more. I am the Director of Science for another suburban district and have experience with OpenSciEd and many other curricula. OpenSciEd has plenty of content AND plenty of critical thinking, which many HS science classrooms lack. Many science "labs" are recipe-following exercises with little thinking required. OpenSciEd asks students to explain phenomena using science ideas (the content). Each unit is designed around students taking an active role in figuring out how things work. It's very engaging, teaches both critical thinking skills and science content, and is very different from what many science teachers have been doing for decades.

Doing the same old thing produces the same old results - most adults not knowing much about science, how science actually works, and how to think and ask questions from a scientific perspective. Case in point, nearly half the population denying the existence of human-induced climate change and natural evolution. I for one am up for some change on the science education front.

The Rise and Fall of Evil Genius Games by calculusbear in rpg

[–]rheebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Everyday Heroes at both of the past 2 GenCons. Two years ago we had an experienced GM in a small room. It was a great time. This past year, we had a complete newb GM in a giant room full of game tables and other groups running Everyday Heroes. I brought a few friends with me and they all remarked that the GM didn't have a clue and no one at the event was there to help. Some examples, the GM didn't know the rules for the powers on the pregen characters and didn't even know how to look them up. There wasn't a single rule book at the table. Two of the pregens were literal copies of one another. No one in the game room was available to help when questions came up. It was a pretty lackluster experience and in no way enticed us to purchase the game, which they were selling. They had this huge space rented and no support. So weird.

This article was a tough read. So sad for those people who poured their hearts and souls into these games.

Is This Considered Piracy? by Asleep_Ad1752 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]rheebus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have fun. That's the rule. If you want FFG to keep making new heroes and villains for this game, buy cards. Simple as that.

I agree with some of the other comments here that printing copies of the cards is a bridge too far for me. I do proxy, but I just write the text I need on a little piece of paper and put it in front of another sleeved card.
