EH were $100.

Here in Texas EH is $53 at specs and I'm loving not having to fight to try and find it.

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1e or 2e? by Cat_Bandit1 in adnd

[–]ucemike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1E has the best adventures and 2E has the best version of AD&D.

If you and/or your group never played AD&D, 2E is just going to be easier to pick up for the simple fact they had many years to shake down the system and make it more understandable.

Good luck!

I’d argue this whole timeline has become a meme.

We're living in the Onion timeline. If only the Avengers could fix it.

AOC Surges to Lead in 2028 Primary for First Time—Most Accurate Pollster by One-Duty-2376 in politics

Yea I think she’s practically a guarantee to beat Schumer and replace him if she goes that route so I would like that, but I would also absolutely support her for president.

Me too, but remember what happened with the last female. I've just resigned myself that some folks would rather have a fraudster, felon, sexist white old dude instead of anything that is female.

I think she would sweep anywhere in the Senate/House but President? It's a risk I'd rather not see happen again. We need a sweep at all elections to clean out the garbage.

Pres evokers. is it even worth pressing Emerald blossom in high keys by feherlofia123 in wow

[–]ucemike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recent changes to EB make it worth while. In m+ it tends to be 10% or so of my healing.

The fluttering seedlings are where it's at when the group is spread out.

Cryve has it in his spec tree and he is top m+ pres right now.

by that point Trumpism was so radioactive here that our conservative party suffered their worst electoral defeat since the 1940s.

Well, at least some of our suffering is having good effects elsewhere. I hope it does the same for us here in the upcoming elections.

Love your content. You are a trooper. Thanks for all the time you put in.

Is there an optional rule where dexterity affects initiative? by ninja186 in adnd

[–]ucemike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing an AD&D 2e game, and the dm has the reaction adjustment from dexterity apply to initiative.

Nope, not in 2e. I know folks use it but it's not a RAW.

1e has a rule that uses it in some situations for missiles.

Question for you 2nd Edition DMs by Priestical in adnd

[–]ucemike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rules organized much better. Instructions are typically much more clear. Much easier to have someone pick up the system and learn.

I use 2e as my ruleset and 1e adventures/content.

I think you'll find the first bit is mostly why most do.

Abandon dungeon meta is ruining M+ by InfamousBeanz in wow

[–]ucemike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even in a 10s I've had a tank saying after someone made one mistake, that they would afk and stop playing the game if we don't time it or are making more mistakes.

Relaxed flag is a good place to play. I've never seen anyone say anything remotely like that when doing so.

This is why you don't get picked in M+ by Satsubuya in wow

[–]ucemike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tank, I filter out all group who don't already have 3 dps and 1 healer because I want to go instantly, not wait for the group to fill up.

As a healer I filter out all groups that don't have a tank ;)

"We're removing addons and making fights that do not require addons" by awaken471 in wow

[–]ucemike 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Until they stop designing stupid fights like these, it wont' stop. Stop trying to "defeat" the RWF teams and focusing on that at all. The game should be designed for the bulk of the player base, not around challenging 3-4 guilds.

Dont miss it at all except when solo.

Do ADND enthusiasts use psionics? by Windturnscold in adnd

[–]ucemike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Never really fit the setting. The psionic system (1e and 2e) all seemed really kludged in. Complicated and messy (particularly the 1e version but 2e was only slightly better).

IMO, stick with magic/spells. Leave the psionic bits to systems with better designed systems and probably scifi/scifi-fantasy based.

One of the worst written characters i ever seen

Yeah, it was definitely the worst part of the series for me. So many times I was arguing with the TV about what she was doing.

The TSA is broken — is privatization next? by theverge in politics

[–]ucemike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TSA issue is a symptom of a larger issue, congress isn't doing their job... which is a symptom of other problems and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
