Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.
Holy Sword! One of the best one page dungeons of all time.
Thank you! I really loved the songs she made for Mighty Nein and Vox Machina.
So while I'm always happy when people are criticizing D&D Beyond in particular or proprietary platforms in general, in this particular case it's actually against the rules-as-intended to play a 2014 Oath of the Ancient in a 2024 paladin shell.
(All house ruling aside, of course, and heaven knows I love house ruling and how house ruling is an argument against D&D Beyond.)
2014 oaths that do not have a 2024 version are still legal in the 2024 shell, but for oaths that do have a 2024 version, you've got to play the 2024 version if your group is playing D&D 5.24.
The reason for this is that some of the updated subclasses have nerfs or that features from them have been moved to the shell or otherwise taxed. Or, even the ones that have been buffed have the same issue in some sorta bid for table balance.
I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they’re in 2024 content I don’t own
The intent is that it should work like this:
I cannot pick the 2014 version of things regardless of ownership if they’re in 2024 content regardless of ownership.
If Beyond platform ownership enters the equation, the Beyond team has messed up.
(Again, the word "legal" is a little silly in a game like D&D which works best when groups can change any rule, mash up editions freely etc. So please don't shoot the messenger here. I don't agree with WotC's decision here. I just remember them announcing that this was how it was going to work, even at the table with all physical books and no Beyond.)
So in the end I am safe from Ghyrson shooting me with his autostubs? Then we played it right.♥︎
Thank you! The issue is that Ghyrson and the goblins do their damage simultaneously (3+1-1=3, but if that's 2+1 I still get shot but if that's 3+0 I don't).
Which damage gets prevented?
Which damage gets prevented?
So in a game of @[email protected] the other day, my enemy attacked with Mons's Goblin Raiders and Ghyrson. Which would normally deal four damage total then two more from Ghyrson. But I had played a Bandage, preventing "the next" damage. If that next damage is the one from the Goblins, I don't get the extra Ghyrson damage, so that's why it matters.
There was no first strike in this particular situation.
It's still so awesome to me that a roleplaying group is in Rolling Stone magazine.
As I noted in my patch message and in the previous post, behavior gets a li'l weird when someone leaves mml-enable-flowed on (the default!) but forgets to turn on use-hard-newlines (not the default! And since it's buffer local, it needs to be turned on every single time, for example with a hook).
So with these two settings kept at their defaults, separate paragraphs will get flowed together with my patch! So I sent a new version of the patch to the same #71017 thread that'll auto-harden according to markdown semantics as a dwimmy fallback.
Emacs RFC 2646 email flowing
Emacs RFC 2646 email flowing
Heck it Emacs!
A few months ago I fixed a bug in RFC 2646 handling where the last paragraph wouldn't get reflowed unless I remembered to add a hard newline (that is, a newline with the 'hard text property) after it, at EOT. I needed to hit one extra RET at the end. All other paragraphs would be wrapped, not just the last one.
(I even bugged @[email protected] about it.)
But it still didn't always work and today I tried to get to the bottom of why, spending the entire day debugging it, finally realizing that... It's not even being called when there's only one paragraph in the email. I wasted so much time before realizing that! And then getting to the bottom of why that wasn't happening was the opposite of easy but it turnes out that Gnus by design doesn't call the fill-flowed-encode function when there aren't any hard newlines in the buffer. Which there aren't gonna be if it's a single-paragraph letter 🤦🏻♀️

I’m looking for monster lists for Journeys through the Radiant Citadel.
I'm looking for monster lists for Journeys through the Radiant Citadel.
Like, for each of the planes in there, here's a list of appropriate monsters. It's OK if they're fan made. It's not always clear to me exactly which real-world–culture is the basis of which plane (maybe that's in the book or maybe it's supposed to be vague), but that's fine, I think these settings look awesome, but one of the main thing missing to easily expand them are encounter tables, which I could throw together if I knew like "OK, on such-and-such plane there are owlbears and stirges" or something like that.
I like settings where the players can play parties from all kinds of factions. I've seen 'em roll up members of the same cult their last party faught against etc. This isn't a complete answer but just one more li'l contribution to the thought palette around this.
SmplTrek note off timing?
SmplTrek note off timing?
Is there a way to set the default note off timing? (What some other sequencers call Gate Length.) Either as a device-wide setting, or for a project, for a track, for a scene or just for a clip. As it is I can only do it note-by-note.
All notes are half the length I'd want, and I have to go into them manually and crank up each one separately from 50% to 99%. I would love the sequencer if it weren't for this.
I have a workaround which is to import SMF's from any other seqencer (such as abc2midi on Linux or Atom 2 on iPad) and that works fine, using the SmplTrek more as an arranger/player than a sequencer, but since the SmplTrek step sequencer is so nice it'd be great to be able to use it directly instead.
(And another workaround is to get good and turn off quantization, that also works.)
Don't worry, I'm definitively keeping mine (as a drum machine, looper, and global tracks recorder, and as an audio interface) but I'm just a li'l frustrated with this one i
What I did was use tokens for inspiration and saying "you can have as many as you want and then cash in all of them to get advantage". That worked well.
They've also removed Talks Machina.
Kudos to CR for listening to the backlash on this illconsidered project. They must've taken quite a hit 💸 but this was not a good idea. I mean, they have their fair share of bad sponsors like NordVPN or D&D Beyond but this was a li'l too much 🤷🏻♀️
I think this is spot on and I overall dislike the game. One thing that I am a li'l bit interested in is the hitpoints system which seems like a good mix of Fate stressboxes with D&D damage.
The amount of incoming damage can go to certain thresholds and that has different consequences (both symbol-layer mechanical and diegetic). I think that's neat and I'm glad to see that experiment carried further.
How much gold is in that hoard?
Wow, I had missed that. That's not good. I mean, CR gets criticized for their "shopping episodes" (even though my own group is even more extreme in that regard) so maybe that's to address that? Diaspora, for example, just has a "recourses" roll instead of detailed accounting of space credits, and it seems to work well in the context of that game.
How far does that bandit run?
I don't think that's a fair characterization; range bands is trued and tested tech. Cartesian spatialization is overkill for most game groups.
Yeah, I have a PPC laptop that this happened to a few years back, which felt way too soon. It's in perfect working condition except for the battery.

Weird order of switch-to-buffer with packages that augment completing-read?
Weird order of switch-to-buffer with packages that augment completing-read?
I'm using vertico, consult, consult embark, and orderless and it's OK but for switch-to-buffer specifically it kind of bugs me that the order isn't connected to the last-used-order (the order that list-all-buffers uses). I'm like "I just used that buffer three seconds ago and now I need to search for it?!"
Help please? 🙏🏻 ♥ @[email protected]
The wrong thing was that "It doesn't matter what the US does" when the US is exceptionally culpable on the demand side, the drill side, and the policy side.
And looking at per capita, consumtion based, the US is ten times as bad as China. US: 20 tons per person. China: 2 tons. I think the world average is 4t.
China still needs to cut down because 2 tons is a lot more than what is OK but holy shit saying
But the problem is, even if all of the US came together and stopped 100% of our emissions, China would still continue to pump out 90% of the world emissions
is the wrongest thing I've ever heard. There are very few countries on this planet who arr doing worse than the US:

Oh, that is wonderful!
Yeah, I've been reading Nick Bentley, he's like been wary of even simple abstracts, let alone a full euro. I'm still gonna cut down overall (not buying new hardware is better than buying harm-reduced hardware) but I'm glad they're trying to harm-reduce! 👍🏻
Makes me more interested in the game.

The - prefix arg replaces backwards but it hits one char at a time, as if the plus sign weren't there. The same replacement forwards (without the prefix arg) does hit one word at a time. What's going on, @[email protected]?
