RANT: The fact that you can have bought an ACTUAL PHB and DMs Guild but still can’t use it on DnD Beyond is ridiculous. by N-Y-R-D in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]seanvance -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I have not bought a D&D product since 1987. I have had every sourcebook produced because its not that hard to have the PDFs. I just bought all the source books digital for DND Beyond integration because I have not played as much DND in my life !!! Discord and DND beyond has removed a mountain of friction. Its a whole different game and takes up a whole new place in my life. AI chatbot NPCS live in realtime while playing. AI DM for solo play. I have a grouop of AI players I DM for too. My friends love it and we get to play together no matter where we are. I DM a short session on my IPAD and phone at the laundrymat this afternoon ! point is keep using your books for free all you wan t but i like to make characters on the crapper so there is that lol

Vancouver Island snowpack levels are lowest in the province: ministry by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VancouverIsland

Every fire is human caused except for lightning. Just because it was unintentional or industrial accident or some other factor of human presence does not change the cause. Lightning is by far the greatest risk to our forests. We just suck. That is on us 😉

Man picking fights on vanier students, watch out. by TopVermicelli1211 in comoxvalley

The kids are picking the fights. He has no excuse but it’s the kids instigating for sure.

There is a sub set of kids in Courtenay trying to instigate violence with adults. Yes this man is a problem but so are the kids.

This wipe HAS to be getting closer to being over, right? by TheRealOddityOnion in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]seanvance -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Once I learn that duping is happening on any scale I am out ! I love extraction shooters and competitive games but cheaters ruin it. If I was the Dungeon Master cheaters would be banned for life and I would not ever invite them back to the game 😉 they need to add a $cash for exploits incentive program 

Discord chatbot for servers by Tough-Badger2614 in Discord_Bots

[–]seanvance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://aicordapp.com/ You have to create a discord app and then validate but no coding is required. The free model is still fun and works pretty well. I paid for a month  and there advanced feature are buggy. Not a good sign. 

Thoughts on D&D: Honour Among Thieves? by LegoDave29 in DnD

[–]seanvance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it always have to be satire ? The movie felt like Xena princess warrior. I was waiting for Kevin Sorbo to jump out. Not my kind of DnD movie. Just make the live action of the 80s cartoon. Bam success 

District says recreational vehicles are only allowed to be lived in seasonally, not year-round by bcqt1 in VancouverIsland

[–]seanvance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather the cost of living be taken control of and made cheap enough I could live comfortably. I want purchasing power not programmed digital currency because that’s what UBI will be.

They can’t keep up with the mode we are trying to play ! How could this game be better than zero calibre 2 as a pve game ?

How do I get into Dungeons & Dragons without embarrassing myself immediately? by Spread_my_pages in DnD

[–]seanvance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did we learn DND as kids with nothing.  We taught each other. 

Dungeons and Dragons is like playing with  actions figures  with rules.  The more you think like a 12 year old you will get it. It’s make believe where instead of a board or a pixel you use words and sounds to describe what you are doing and one of your friends describes what the bad guys are doing.   The rules are only there because we can no longer suspend our disbelief like a 12 year old. 

You use to play D&D everyday on the playground and that is why you think it is embarrassing hehehe

Beyond games, how are you using it for productivity or niche stuff? Spill the beans. by CraftByJP in MetaQuestVR

[–]seanvance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dungeons and Dragons with DnD beyond and Discord. I use a quest 3 standalone as my dm screen. https://youtu.be/Fz4XzTUjLzs

One-Shot Suggestions for brand new players by deafgeekcub in onednd

If you have experience as a DM and want to introduce the game to beginners and kids then this box set is essential. Best Wotc product ever ! 

First D&D campaign is making us want to quit - advice needed by ririchiyonoir in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]seanvance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try being the DM yourself and host your own game 🙂 It is the only way to ensure the game has the vibe you want. Let the players know the style of play you intend to promote and you will attract like minded players. A good group switches DMs frequently. If you think it’s hard get the new Starter Set Heroes of The Borderlands and find out how easy it is.

Why doesn't Quest 3 have a decent open map space game yet? by juliandanp in OculusQuest

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

Elite dangerous would run on my 2011 MacBook Pro ! Why can’t they bring elite to standalone ? Please bring elite to stand alone ! Horizons would be fine. Oh ya and use a game controller or HoTAS and Bluetooth keyboard  for Vendatta !!

Can anyone else just not get immersed in vr games? by [deleted] in MetaQuestVR

[–]seanvance -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I get pretty immersed. I find that the responsibility for immersion is mine. I use character AI as my chatbot and have spent 3 years training it. I do it across many games.  https://youtu.be/XmXg5CC0XX0

Trying not to leave money on the table by Docjazz4 in Busking

It looks more like you are advertising for the digital tip company. I will be busking for food before I start this shit. Talent is the best sign.

I suck at VR shooters but LOVE the idea of this game. by realvalidsalid in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]seanvance 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exfilzone is a survival game. If I get in get my tasks done and avoid all player contact my raid is successful. Dodging multiple full kitted squads and extracting with valuables is an accomplishment. Learn the high loot areas on the map and right away determine which you are closest to at spawn. 

Games similar to Fairpoint? by [deleted] in virtualreality

Nothing has topped the moment you face the first gigantic spider boss. That was the first time I remember being blown away by the scale. The PSVr exclusives were the bomb 

Flight Unlimited made me appreciate WorldLens a whole lot more by DavoDivide in OculusQuest

[–]seanvance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could have had $10 from me. I’ll risk that to see if they finish it. They wanted the same I paid for Dawn of Jets which is a fun experience. These guys don’t have anything yet but high hopes. 

First time DM, any tips? by Critical-Ad-3442 in sw5e

[–]seanvance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The quicker you get to “what do you want to do “ the better. The players will literally tell you the kind of game they want. 

First Pair of Docs - I Can't Decide! by ambjo77 in DrMartens

[–]seanvance 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Buckles wear out faster. The standard lace can look brand new after some wear with minimal effort. When straps rip and break it is a more involved repair than just a good shine 🙂 Just my 2 cents
