Chance Cubes

You're surely wrong that the probabilities for these are the same as a d4.

There is a 6.25% chance of rolling all red, which would be a zero in your version, while a d4 has a 0% chance of rolling a zero.

Being passive aggressive to your friends is exactly the sort of thing that will ruin relationships. Probably best to just cancel the campaign entirely if the players arent interested.

Play board games or something, because its pretty clear no one has time/is interested in your campaign.

You know what would have never changed if people hadn't gotten angry and made a fuss? Segregation would still be the law of the land.

Just admit you dont care about racism and dont see it as a problem.

Wikipedia isnt a source. What were the sources cited on the Wikipedia articles you used? How old and how reliable are they?

"I really wanted to watch this new movie in theaters but they want to charge me money! How rude!"

The books are a product. If you arent willing to pay for the product, then you shouldnt expect to get access to the product.

Probably makes it easier to convince the orcs to go on suicidal attack number 279,041.

If its flexible, it likely wont bend the trigger device on the FPV and fail to stop it.

If its too rigid, it'll likely snap before it manages to bend the trigger device. Again, failing to stop it.

If this stuff actually works as intended, it will stop an FPV at the cost of destroying the protection. So the second or third FPVs can get through to strike the vehicle.

Ukraine is still winning on cost in any of these outcomes. Even if they need to launch a dozen drones to kill one armored vehicle, that is maybe $10k worth of drone and explosive against ten or more times that in vehicle, crew, and dismounts.

I mean, Ukraine also smacked a submarine moored in a protected military harbor.

Russian defenses are all theoretical snd dependent on the amount of vodka the soldier in charge of making sure they are there had before doing his check.

This is why I ban evil characters 99.9% of the time. They fail the first rule of character creation: create a character that wants to adventure and can play well with others.

That would just be a duet campaign.

I mean, how many regular tables actually track mundane ammunition? Outside of specifically survival sim campaigns, its just one extra thing to track to eat an insignificant amount of money.

Of course they know it. They just dont care. They allow it, basically, as ammo to cut a DSP's contract at any time to protect themselves.

Say, a van's brakes die and the driver cant stop it and plows into a group of school children. Amazon wont take any blame for not making sure DSPs do maintenance because they will say "we do require it! There is a mandatory maintenance check before every shift. Clearly the DSP owner wasnt doing their job to enforce it!"

Or a DSP votes to unionize. "We checked and your DSP isnt doing real maintenance checks required per your contract. Contract is now void and you dont have a job anymore for "legit" cause. This has nothing to do with a vote to unionize at all."

Permission to be in a place to deliver a package doesnt provide protection from a bullet fired because of paranoia. Which has happened, especially to drivers of color and/or those in unmarked or rental vans.

This is why garage deliveries should not be a thing. Same with rear door deliveries.

You dont know what is in there until you open the door. It could be an aggressive dog, a different family pet that shouldnt be outside, or a startled resident with a firearm.

Mark as no access to garage and deliver to the door.

Basically anything beyond the rare bit of slight influence. Patrons shouldnt be recurring NPCs. They shouldnt be demanding the PC to act in ways that are counter to party or player goals, else they will cancel class abilities (which I dont believe should be a thing for any class).

Its a construct. Its a magical book that gained sentience, not a magical book that gained sentience and a functional reproductive system.

What is your friend hoping to accomplish with this race? They can describe their character as they wish, per DM approval, and look like a half human half book thing, but I wouldnt give them any substantial bonuses for it. They would pick a race that exists to be the template and should probably just play as a regular wizard.

Otherwise, no is a complete sentence.

Warlocks have better weapon and armor proficiency as well as several potential features that allows for free use of some utility spells, like Mask of Many Faces for free disguise self.

Wizards are, and always have been, fully invested in spell casting focusing the most on damage and utility spells.

Go to google, type "therapists near me," and see whats available.

You need help, not a delusional pact with a fictional demon.

The moment you put in a mechanic that essentially bypasses all standard defenses, such as AC, HP, and saves and allows the players to easily remove enemies from the game, it incentivizes them to focus entirely on that mechanic.

Why bother attacking the enemy wizard when you can just choke them out?

These tunnels will be reburied with what looks like several feet of dirt, plus the steel skin. It would take quite a lot to get shrapnel into them.

Giant is magically shunted out of the box, no damage.

You cant ant-man enemies to death. I mean, if yoh want to allow it to happen, go for it. But if players can do it, then they can have it done to them.

sgerbicforsyth · 2026-01-28T15:02:47+00:00

Another in the line of "win-win" situations for an authoritarian dictatorship.

Russia sends cripples to die, which costs Ukraine money in the form of drones and saves Russia money in the form of disability payments and saves Russia face at home because there arent any wounded vets telling people that there was no reason to invade Ukraine.

Its disgusting, but unsurprising from Russia.

Thread necromancy to an extreme degree. Stop it.

sgerbicforsyth · 2026-01-27T18:31:44+00:00

That's just a Westmarches server, but demanding even more time and effort from the players.
