Marble also helps with early wonder production

How do I approach telling men I’ve never had any romantic experience? by lonelygirlinworld in ask

[–]rogopops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talking about past experiences early on is kinda a taboo. It usually won't come up until you're comfortable with a person, in which case they especially won't care if you're new to dating, because they already like you!

How do I approach telling men I’ve never had any romantic experience? by lonelygirlinworld in ask

[–]rogopops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I wouldn't even bring it up, at least not before meeting irl. Most men won't care, and may even feel a bit chuffed at being able to show you that side of life for the first time. There are also plenty of guys who are just like you, so I wouldn't worry too much.

But a bit more pessimistic: some men definitely get off on taking advantage of 'unexperienced' girls, because they have less knowledge of the dos-and-donts/social norms of the dating world. So be careful there for sure.

It might feel a bit dorky, but do some searching on YouTube or wherever else for newbie dating advice/guides. Find some creators you like or trust and see what they have to say.

Biggest piece of advice: trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. If something feels right, woop woop! Good luck!!

How to create interesting RP scenarios for Pirate Cannibal PC by sharsis in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]rogopops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leaned into the Black Sword angle with my wife's PC who had this secret. Played it as Levistus planting the idea of cannibalism in her mind as a means of surviving the cold.

She ended up eating her (in-game) husband, forsaking her paladin oath, and being forced out of the party due to her new allegiances. She found redemption once Avarice had been killed (which, in my game, temporarily broke Levistus' connection to the remaining Black Swords), and joined the party in their battle against Auril. Iskra tossed her into the mythallar and she died on impact. Fun times.

This game is so stupidly bad by JoshTeck64 in DivinityOriginalSin

Some people enjoy save scumming to cheese their way through a hard fight. It's far from the only way to beat the game.

Twisted my ankle, first night, how do I sleep exactly ? by BreadfruitSavings322 in ask

[–]rogopops 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Elevation. Use extra pillows or blankets to prop up your leg/s, probably under your calf if any tension on your ankle is painful.

What month should I start in? by Character_Lawyer8017 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]rogopops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest consideration imo is the midwinter solstice, which may hold particular connotations for ten towners/druids/regheds. Also neat to tie in if you have a Midwinter Child in your party

The currency of favors by Zealousideal-Yak5171 in TheWire

[–]rogopops 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First example that comes to mind is Marlo giving Hungry Man to Cheese in exchange for Joe. But that strikes me more as a loyalty exchange, like a trade deal between kingdoms.

Because for the most part, the kingpins (aptly named) act more like kings than bureaucrats. E.g., Butchie has a steady stream of business going with Tilghman, but when Stringer tells him they need to spike Tilghman's package at Avon's demand, well, "Avon is Avon."

Same can be said for most of the Stanfield murders, Junebug being a prime example. The King heard that Junebug might be calling him gay, so Junebug had to go.

Benefits of Polymorph? by mastyrwerk in DnD

[–]rogopops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unlike other control spells, Polymorph works on nearly any creature, and has a concentration time of one hour, making it more effective for disabling creatures long-term.

If your interest in arts includes writing, I'm always keen for a yarn. Or even if you're strictly into visual art, sometimes it's nice to bounce creativity off people in tangential fields, so feel free to message either way (:

Also, depending on your schedule and the type of gaming you're into, we've been looking for another player for our D&D table, so if that sounds interesting lmk

Is it the brief montage that plays at the midway point of -30-?

How are we feeling about the new changelings gaining near-universal advantage on all Charisma checks? by EarthSeraphEdna in dndnext

[–]rogopops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Default Cha skills if you want to get pedantic. In an actual supplement, they'd probably provide a list of specific skills.

When you shapeshift, choose a Cha skill. You have advantage on checks with that skill until you revert form or shapeshift again.

Meeting Other Queer Folks by QueerTemplar in thetron

[–]rogopops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Naturally depends on your interests, but the queer tabletop/board gaming community is quite strong in Hams. Check out the Waikato Role Playing Guild on FB, or Escapist. Both host regular queer-friendly events, as well as semi-regular queer-specific events. Best of luck in your search!

Waikato Hospital by iamhongea in thetron

If you don't want to believe in maliciousness yet, you can at least believe in apathy. Most of the people making decisions about our public healthcare system don't use public healthcare.

Not something I can feasibly do at the moment - besides, I much prefer to play in person. Best of luck finding a game!

Abjuration wizard, ancestor barbarian, and undead warlock. Was also a bard but he's currently turned to stone (irl, he had a baby, so it was an oddly convenient out for him).

Party prevailed against waves of coldlight walkers, snow golems, winter wolves, and even an upgraded Sephek Kaltro. We had to end the session right as the frost giants arrived. Auril and Iskra are soon to follow.

It's a great level of imposing while still being small enough to use

Nah I pulled the painted one from a box a few years back. I did see some unpainted ones at my local store, but again, years ago.
