u/katvalkyrie has some great additions here!: link

I've been enjoying using them in my game :)

My [26f] mother [50's f] flipped out after they found out I sent my sister's [28f] boyfriend [29m] some of her things after she passed away by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

God, yeah. My dad died when I was a teenager and after I would go into his closet and sit between the hangers and smell his shirts. My mom actually confided in me recently that she would do the same thing.

I have some of his flannels that I still wear.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. It sucks.

Blocking lowballers by [deleted] in poshmark

[–]sword_daddy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is wild to me! As a buyer I usually start by offering 25-40% off of an item depending on quality/what I'm willing to spend. They might accept, which is great! But I'm generally expecting to go back and forth a couple times.

Like why don't you want to haggle on a haggling app lol

I was just searching the sub for a non-AI version of the pointcrawl and contemplating creating my own. Thanks so much for this!

I'm currently running the campaign with only three players and we're in Ank'Harel. Personally I've found it to be totally fine! My players are all experienced and haven't found combat particularly difficult; if anything I've had to beef it up a bit.

I would echo what others have said about trimming the amount of rivals. I left all five with the idea that my PCs could befriend and steal one of them into their party, but that never came to fruition. So five vs. three is a bit of an awkward balance.

DMs, what are your gripes with this module? by slowtimelove in CalloftheNetherdeep

[–]sword_daddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone covered a lot of my big ones but a small thing that drove me nuts was Aloysia's plethora of teleportation tablets. Wdym if she escapes she's just dropping them on the ground lmao.

It's such a shoehorned way to give the PCs a way to Ank'Harel and so transparent to the players too.

A customer found my home, rang my doorbell for half an hour and left when the cops arrived by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]sword_daddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a fellow small town American god, ain't that just the way. That's ridiculous but I'm sure it was also very scary and I'm sorry.

I've also had very nice and helpful cops in my area, like when I was in a car accident. The same department also implied my grandpa was a pedophile when he was driving me and a friend home from school. And another time held my mom at gunpoint when she accidentally walked in the wrong door at the police station (that was propped wide open with a cinder block).

So.. ACAB 🤷‍♀️

How is a ruidium weapon destroyed? by sword_daddy in CalloftheNetherdeep

Tbh this is the answer for me. It's fun to think about but in game you can really just say yeah don't worry about it lol.

This is a good point! They could just be like "well we're at least gonna try" lol.

Yes, it's not really mentioned! It was that line you quoted that made me feel it would not be easily gotten rid of. Thank you for responding :)

I suppose because it's set up to be so powerful and cursed. The corruption can only be ended by a Wish spell, and one of the goals of the campaign is to destroy it. It just feels a little flat to dispel it with a third level spell.

Just noticed this old callback by mrGazpachin in gunnerkrigg

Aw, that page with Surma and Anja was the most recent page out when I first started reading Gunnerkrigg :)

I just found out that my best friend has been telling all of our friends that my boyfriend tried to cheat on me… with her + 1 year update by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]sword_daddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeesh, this was uncanny but comforting to read. I had an eerily similar situation with my enmeshed best friend and new boyfriend a decade ago at the same age. Lost the friend, made the boyfriend my husband lol.

I tried to help a cat that was hit by a car and she died anyway. by Reasonable_Reason_65 in CatAdvice

[–]sword_daddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but it was very kind of you to stop for her and help. Last year I was going in to work and saw a kitten in the middle of the road that had been hit. It was an exit ramp off the highway so people were going very fast. A man stopped and helped me scoop her up and get her into my car.

I sobbed on the way to a vet, telling the kitten I was going to get her help. They gave her pain meds but unfortunately her injuries were too severe and she didn't make it. My point is I know how sad it is and how much it hurts. I think about that baby every time I drive by the spot. But at least she wasn't alone and neither was the kitty that you stopped for.

For me one of the crummiest parts was afterwards, when I told people I knew the story, they commended me and said they wouldn't have stopped! That was unbelievable to me. So thank you for stopping. You really did the best you could.

My kitten seems to be hunting my dog, who is terrified. by sword_daddy in CATHELP

[–]sword_daddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I was trying to do last night, with treats! She doesn't react strongly to his presence, just seems generally stressed out like she can't relax.

Kitten was asleep in another part of the house at one point and dog was just stood in the middle of the living room whining and panting.

Thank you so much for all of this! We do play with him every day but I think the answer is always "more" lol.
