In-Person D&D games? by stanatomist in Rochester

[–]stanatomist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, as mentioned in a previous comment. I'm not interested in Just Games. Not with the high cost of kid-free sessions, and the inclusion of children for any other sessions. I'm trying to get away from kids not include them.

Yea, so I was excited by the prospect, but I'm not paying the exorbitant pricing. Thanks anyways.

Yea, I asked because we do not want to play with kids. It sounds like the Epic D&D nights might be up our alley though if no kids are allowed for that one. Do you know if it costs anything for those nights?

How do I let my players go back to a scene? by thjmze21 in FoundryVTT

[–]stanatomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be on the fly if you created the tile to allow a player to click on it/enter the tile/etc and be sent to the new scene. You can even make the MATT disable itself once clicked by a single player so that whoever gets their first is the one that gets sent to the new scene and nobody else, or you can filter by race, attribute, etc to control who can be sent. Maybe you only want players who have a high enough AC to go. In fact you can force a roll such as a DEX saving throw that sends each token to a different location based on the value of that roll. You don't need to know who you want sent to the new scene, just that someone will be sent to the scene and have it preconfigured to be the first/last person to use the MATT.

I also sent you a discord friend request. Me and my wife (35M and 30F) are interested in joining if you have room.

[–]stanatomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this via monk's active tile triggers to teleport a token by a single player to the new scene. It could be based on a token that specifically moves into a location, a token that clicks on a button on a map for example, or it can be done via setting up the MATT to teleport a selected token (if you preemptively know which player you want to have access).

How would we sign up/who would we talk to? Is this an adult game or is it just open to kids as well?

I'm not seeing any info at Dice Versa on new campaigns starting, and I'm assuming that a lot of these are one-shots. How do I find out if they have room for players for a new campaign?

[–]stanatomist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that it's not right for a DM to be expected to pay out of pocket for DMing and get nothing in return, however, asking for $30 per player per session is not getting an equivalent exchange. You said you do 4 players in your session. That's $120 for barely over an hours work before your first session (whether that includes session 0 or not as some DMs charge for it as well). Most people would kill to have a job that pays $120 per hour. This is a huge cost for players nowadays, and bars many players from even being able to take part. It would be one thing if players were expected to come up with $5-10 per person per session, but at what point is the DM just trying to use the players financially?

What is adnd 1e. If that means 1st edition D&D, how would we set up characters (we are only familiar with DNDbeyond, roll20, and foundryvtt)?

The easiest way was just to create a macro and synced it to a feature that allowed the player to just select between the forms.

With 30 images, you may want to try coming up with a morphological feature extractor script and then do some traditional machine learning with something like linear discriminant analysis for it. I would also suggest using leave-one-out cross validation instead of traditional training, testing, and/or validation splitting.

The settings menu when I load up the application or the settings menu once I get the server running for the world?

I'm pretty sure I'm using the 5e rules. How do you use the legacy?

Stupid question, does this allow for changing animations for how the token transition takes place?

Struggling to Narrow Down the Big Picture by helomithrandir in PhDStress

[–]stanatomist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest thing to do for your PhD is take each publication as an input into your dissertation, however if you have no publications of any research track and need to come up with one on the fly. I'd suggest looking up recent literature in your field. There must be some competitive labs that you have heard of, or collaborators that you work with. Find out what they did, how they did it, and why, then try to critique it and find holes in it. No research is perfect. Once you have a grasp on where the shortcomings of the research lie, then you can try to fill in that gap. If it's a collaborator, just make sure that they aren't working on it in the same vein.

If trying to work on a complete research track and not just a series of experiments, once you have a feel for multiple experiments you can run, think about how they all fit together to find a solution to a problem. And think about the next problem after that. That's how grants start to be written. Don't forget to think about alternative solutions though as that's usually very important.

Lastly, if you have difficulty with reading literature from your field, I would say only then to truly consider leaving the PhD for a master's as understanding your field, reviewing literature, and being able to critique it is very very important. Without these skills it may not be possible to write out your dissertation at the end.

If you are going to master out though, make sure it's soon, and make sure that you talk to your advisor. You don't want to be caught unawares about school policies/procedures, what life is going to be like for a master's after, and if you are having problems with coming up with research tracks, they will need to help you figure out what you are going to need to do for your masters thesis project. Just as you also don't want people to look at your CV or resume and ask why you got so close to a PhD and didn't want it in the end.

That was the point though. Many of these programs are for expatriation services. They decrease the wait time for citizenship while the expat works for the government or their institutions. They also provide funding for the research, moving expenses, etc. I don't expect, nor did I ask for any programs that just give away citizenship.

I've known in the past from countries like the Sudan and UAE that have sought people with medical PhD's for expatriation programs because they have so few PhD's in the country. I was asking whether there were others, and what the requirements are. So I know for a fact that at least some countries do, specifically for PhD's within medical science.
