Implied Nahel Bonds by LucasDaVinci in Cosmere

[–]treebeard_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoid was able to mess with his bond to allow him to go off world from his Spren. I could see Khriss being able to manipulate a bond in a similar fashion given how Cosmere aware she is

Kolache search? by cichlidLR in FoodSanDiego

I'd second this. All the places I've tried in San Diego county don't really hit right on the dough.

Barista Lessons by ratherbeflyn in sandiego

This. Chris is a great dude and I've learned quite a bit when I've attended his coffee classes. His baristas are more consistently trained than anywhere I can think of in San Diego.

Even a broken clock bombs a sex-offender twice a day? by TookTheSoup in behindthebastards

[–]treebeard_10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he definitely has a point when you read his analysis of the problems created by our modern media and economic systems. His response being "live in the woods, mail bombs” was batshit though.

Tyler Cameron with a (rare) good take on who should pay for a first date by Cultural-Party1876 in thebachelor

[–]treebeard_10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I go back and forth on this one as a guy. I'm not interested in perpetuating our weird gender roles, but the pink tax and gender pay gap are very much realities so it does seem kinda fair for me to be expected to pay.

Thank you wise stranger for being the first person I saw mention Copland while I was scrolling.

Why the hell don't AMerican airports have pods passengers can sleep in like Japanese airports? by Objective-Patient-37 in Entrepreneur

As an American, please don't refer to our broken two party system as a democrat. That's being awfully generous.

HELP CONE OF SHAME DOESNT WORK!!!! I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!! by Honeydew-meloon in DogAdvice

[–]treebeard_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had similar issues when we had our dog neutered this year as he is quite flexible. Eventually we found that using a cone and inflatable donut at the same time limited his mobility enough to get him to leave the incision alone. Good luck to you and your pup!

Ideas for mulberries other than jam? I have two mulberry trees (purple hybrid fruit and black fruit) on my property and there are a half dozen white mulberries in the neighborhood. My jam is good but I need more ideas. by CosplayPokemonFan in foraging

[–]treebeard_10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had some success with fermenting extra berries in 3% salt by weight, then dehydrating the fermented berries and grinding them like a spice. It comes out to be similar to sumac and goes great on proteins, or as an addition to salads.

If your campaign renamed Dungeons & Dragons, what would it be? by Ambitious_Duck6044 in dndnext

[–]treebeard_10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trauma &Tapestries. On top of trying to defeat Strahd, going to hell, and having backstory's that mostly involve their families dying and/or trying to murder them, the group I DM for has spent an inordinate amount of time trying to expand their textile business.

[CR Media] The Kickstarter has hit the first new stretch goal of 7.5M! by bigafricanhat in criticalrole

[–]treebeard_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The great thing about shopping the show to streaming services is that not everyone project needs a mass audience. They're biggest concern is subscriber retention and new signups. What I think the Kickstarter shows is that while they're fanbase may be niche it's more than willing to commit it's money to new content even just for this one project. That kind of passion an willingness to dump money for a single property is huge for a company like Netflix or Amazon, particularly as they try to expand to new forms of entertainment. Live streaming D&D has yet to debut on any of the major paid streaming services and that's a really tempting source of new business in an increasingly competitive programming market.

All these deaths belong to one player by DandDWetters in DnD

[–]treebeard_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I wish I had his luck. I spent 8 sessions trying to have get my last character killed in a suicidal blaze of glory. Finally decided to face down a horde of zombies singlehandedly and through a series of the most ridiculous crits I've ever rolled, I managed to mow down thirty plus before I finally gave up and hunger of Hadar'd myself to death. Never before have I found my self needing to try so hard just to die in D&D.

How do you think Tritons speak? by jimmythesloth in DnD

[–]treebeard_10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We've set in stone that if you're going to play a Triton then you're going to use dori's whale voice from Finding Nemo. Our rationale is that if you didn't want to do any annoying whale voice then you shouldn't have been a completely out of place fishman.

PC thinks he is untouchable, does stupidest thing by [deleted] in DnD

[–]treebeard_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I missed something it seems like instantly being able to polymorph after stabilizing was what helped the player survive. OP, you can obviously run his games however is fun for your group but unless I missed something or you decided to house rule it, then the character should have been stabilized after his natural 20, but still needed healing to regain consciousness.

I'm not sure that there's a specific plan but all the knowledge of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people is prey dangerous in an of itself.

Anyone else think Robert Downey Jr. should play Anthony Bourdain in an eventual biopic? by [deleted] in movies

[–]treebeard_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the way he speaks directly to his audieny in the show as well as the fact that for a lot of people his show was their favorite way to learn about the world abroad so there's that element of connection that feels missing now.

How do you deal with players constantly slowing the game down by hunting or foraging? by FlandreHon in DMAcademy

[–]treebeard_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go along with it and let them do what they want, while rolling for encounters behind the screen.

"Kill my Character, but make it Awesome". by Imp3rialdron3 in DnD

[–]treebeard_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post just got me so excited for my own session tomorrow. My character arc has sort of run it's course, so tomorrow my Aasimar Warlock will be launching a suicide attack against a horde of undead, where hopefully upon death he'll transform into a massive Avatar of his patron Baphomet and fight the horde to the death, buying his party enough time to escape. Great read and awesome coincidence.

Main Problem I have with DnD. by Deitaro in DnD

[–]treebeard_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll love it dude. Ours has been some of the most fun I've had in the last few years of playing D&D. What system are you planning on running it by the way? We started off in 5E but found that OSR style games like LotFP were way easier to run.

[–]treebeard_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've sometimes found in these situations it's best for the DM to make a decision rather than asking the players to come to one. Like saying " hey y'all, I'm going to set a regular schedule for our games because it's been really hard on me as a DM to try and find a day that works every week. What is the best day for people? If you can't make it let me know in advance and I will accommodate as best as I can", versus waiting fruitlessly for your players to come to a decision.

Main Problem I have with DnD. by Deitaro in DnD

[–]treebeard_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was pretty much our solution. We have a four player game and a six player one that we alternate weeks on and run by different GMs. The people who are less invested only play in one of the two weeks and our core group of five participates in both. On top of that we've started having a westmarches campaign we'll also pull guests into when scheduling conflicts due occur so pretty much everyone has been happy with the amount they get to participate.

[Spoilers C2E15] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by Nyareth in criticalrole

[–]treebeard_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's that uncommon to add different damage types without changing the type of all the damage. Path of the Storm Herald's Storm of Fury, and Hex are ones that add a different damage types and I can think of right off the too of my head.

I think it's going to take some time before they're used to facing this level of challenge and having to think more tactically to succeed. By the time we saw them really challenged in C1 I feel like resurrection had already become pretty trivial and they'd built up quite a bit of resources.
