This is the double standard I hate so much about violence / porn / swearing.

Kids are watching ultra violent game streams? No one gives a shit.

The second a bad word has been said on a stream or a bit of nudity is shown, people are losing their god damn minds.

You know, sometimes I feel bad about gambling some money away on the stock market and feel a bit like a failure. But then I come across posts like these and I remember that at least I do not fuck up on a colossal scale like this.

Nice! Also have a 1:28 that my wife got for me. Thing is super fast, like 25km/h. What model did you get?

I am super impatiently awaiting a new set of wheels for my RC car to be delivered. I purchased them a while ago and it is taking ages! I want to finally finish my build and let it rip on the street!

Banks: Hold my beer!

And later blame it on the workers that unionized.

Oh no no. They won't only hurt themselves. Sadly, US politics tend to have an impact on a large part of the globe. If Trump gets re-elected, it's not only the US that will get fucked.

Have you played the game though? It's filled to the brim with content. I already have a lot of hours in and I think I'm only about half through the game. You talk to friends and everyone is telling a different story of how they approached a problem in the game. Almost every conversation in the game has voice lines.

It's absolutely not flawless. Controls are clunky, path findinf of your compagnions is weird most of the time etc. But you absolutely see that this game is a labour of love and not a quick cash grab. Plus again, it's massive and it's one of the few games where I actually understand them not being able to fix every bug in the game.

So I wouldn't say that we lower the bar with them in relation to bugs. They have raised the bar in content and overall quality so high that you are more willing to forgive / overlook a lot of the issues, as long as they are not game breaking.

If I recall correctly, it's not infamous for being super depressing but because it used to be a light hearted web comic (CTRL+ALT+DEL) about nerds doing nerd stuff and then the author decided to go into this weird dramatic arch of an ongoing love story that just didn't really fit into the whole thing. The "Loss" strip was the overly dramatic peak of this arch and I think at this point people were already making fun of it. While the topic certainly is pretty depressing, it was more the fact that this whole thing was rather cringeworthy and over the top that started the whole meme.

You have to be harsh, otherwise nobody gets to play. When we started our new group we made sure to inform everyone that playing DnD is not to be treated as a secondary hobby that can just be canceled for other stuff all the time. Make it your priority, plan other things around the sessions if you want to play with that group. Of course, any emergencies excluded but otherwise treat it as if it is your sport club training. If you miss too many sessions, you're out.

I know this sounds super arrogant and mean, but it's the only thing that works consistently. Also filters out friends who are not ready or able to commit that much time for playing.

Richtig erkannt - genau das wollte ich mit dem Wort nicht nur suggerieren, ich wollte es explizit damit ausdrücken. Ich diskutiere nicht mit jemandem, der nicht anerkennen kann, dass auf beiden Seiten in den letzten Monaten sinnlos und wahllos Menschen getötet wurden. Egal auf welcher "Seite" man steht, die sinnlose Verschwendung von Menschenleben müsste einem IMMER zu denken geben.

Ob und wie du ein Töten durch irgendjemanden als "gerechtfertigt" siehst, ist mir egal, weil es das einfach nicht ist.

 

Hei all!

Been playing my Orc Rune Knight Fighter for a while now and it has been a blast! He grapples basically anything that the DM throws at us including an Owlbear and a Giant (rune knight, fuck yeah). Of course, sometimes he grapples successfuly, sometimes he doesn't.

I think the build is pretty solid but surely there are ways to improve. I'm not sure if I want to keep grappling that much or if I want to go more the direction of brute force fighting.

I've been playing with a warpick and a shield to get that juicy +2 for AC and use it to steamroll enemies but not sure if I should keep the shield.

Current stats at level 7:

  • STR: 20
  • DEX: 14
  • CON: 16
  • INT: 12
  • WIS: 15
  • CHA: 14

I already took the "Skill Expert" feat to get expertise in Athletics and now have a juicy +11 in that skill. If I activate my frost rune, I get another +2 on top of that.

So, any ideas for fighting styles, multiclassing, ASI, feats, weapons or anything else that could make him even more of a badass while fighting?

 

Hei all,

I was just wondering: Can I start a new character with one of the premade characters and continue from where I am at in my current campaign? I love all the premade characters and would love to make a party only out of them and kick out my custom character. Any way to do this?

Thanks!
