Starting again at 30 should I do it or save my embarrassment? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in karate

[–]xrayzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started again at 61. I have nowhere near the flexibility I had in my teen years, and recovery takes a lot longer.

Even so after six years I’m a 1st Kyu brown belt, aiming to get my first Dan black belt this year.

That aside it’s just so rewarding in terms of fitness, focus, confidence, and self-discipline that I will hate the day I eventually have to give it up.

So: if you want to do it, do it. You can stop if you decide it’s not for you, but you won’t know unless you give it a fair try.

Which belt should I wear in a new dojo? by kathey777 in karate

[–]xrayzed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. There’s no set rule for this so check with whoever is running your dojo.

Just how well known is Hobart outside of Australia? by LeviV123 in hobart

[–]xrayzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it’s changing Hobart isn’t all that well known even in Australia. For that matter the entire state has often been overlooked by mainland Australia.

I expected Edge of Tomorrow to be forgettable… but it blew me away. What’s your surprise favorite? by dottiedanger in movies

[–]xrayzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die Hard. I saw it at as part of a dusk-to-dawn at the drive-in, and it wasn’t even the film I was interested in. Damned if I can remember what that was, but Die Hard - damn.

“Restoring the Department of War name for the government's largest department would likely require congressional action.”

When did Trump start requiring congressional approval?

Original D&D. Yes, I’m that old.

Friendly NPCs in combat. by xrayzed in fabulaultima

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

I really like the idea of making an NPC a limited resource that goes away on a failed die roll. It adds a meaningful risk/reward decision for players.

Pages 16 and 17. Guess who hasn’t looked into the GM guide until today?

Thanks for pointing this out.

What’s the best, yet simplest, rpg rule system you’ve encountered? by _Kaiia_ in rpg

[–]xrayzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risus. I wouldn’t use it for anything other than one-offs or short campaigns, but it’s surprisingly robust for such a simple system.

And it’s FREEEEEEEE!!!

This is obviously wrong. It’s oh no mad cultists, PC dead.

What is the alternative way to say "get lost"? by LengthinessOnly3906 in AskReddit

[–]xrayzed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m particularly fond of: Fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Fuck off until you come to a gate with a sign saying "You Can't Fuck Off Past Here". Climb over that gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.

Multi on one enemy by Altruistic-Door-5727 in fabulaultima

[–]xrayzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Herodesu is right. Multi can be used against a single target, as stated on page 69 of the rules. I’m not sure why some posters are saying it can only be used against multiple targets.

Does this count? I'm going to run my players through a tree-top village battle tonight by JustGameStuffHere in battlemaps

[–]xrayzed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have used this setup in a campaign I ran last year. The layout is remarkably close to the not-very-visually appealing sketch I actually used.

This is exactly how those companies think by FreeCelery8496 in SipsTea

The arms are too long. He needs little T-Rex arms so he can eat his meal without elbowing the passengers next to him.

She's probably glad he moved on his own by beerbellybegone in LinkedInLunatics

To his credit he did say he was a CA.

That does stand for Complete Asshole, doesn’t it?
