When I sort my comments by “Top Week” I get stuff from 10 days ago.

Edit: Actually, no matter what time period I select, I still see old posts from 10 days ago.

I also do this. I call it the archives. It’s like the Disney vault, but for songs. I usually pull them back out in a year or two.

Eloquence Bards get to treat any roll on certain charisma skills as a 10, whenever they roll less than a 10. So with expertise and high charisma they can guarantee a roll of 22 or higher in those skills related to eloquent speech.

Usually the DM can set difficulties or even decide if a roll is called for at all, but this module has a chance for diplomacy, and the corresponding DC baked in.

I agree, though, that the correct answer is “Let the eloquence bard do their thing!” The chance to talk the boss down comes in “phases” for a reason. As long as you still have to survive Phase 1 and Phase 2 before you can suggest surrender in Phase 3, you’ll still have an interesting encounter.

And there is always the possibility that by Phase 3, your bard player won’t even think about using diplomacy once the fighting has already been going for a bit.

This is how writing always was for me. I’m a lefty, and I get nasty hand cramps after a paragraph or two.

2 hour sessions can be rough. Even just bumping up to 2.5 hours feels like you get a lot more game per week. I do love how unhurried you guys are though. Sounds like everyone in your group is fully engaged and immersed.

Meh. If I actually want it bad enough, I’ll buy it. Someone somewhere has to actually pay for the content you salty sea rascals enjoy.

Just make the box see-thru, duh! Problem solved, Schroedinger!

My wife suspected this about that final fight, but it goes by quickly in the theater, and unfortunately it’s streaming on one of the few services we don’t have or want to pay for, so we haven’t re-watched it in a pause-able format.

I wish I could find a party full of players like you. I love it when players take the care to feel the negative effects of adventuring. My current character is a barbarian who wears a military-style uniform. When not raging, he is obsessed a little with keeping a neat, disciplined appearance and maintaining his clothing according to a high standard. But he can never do that, because he “Hulks out” in pretty much every combat and covers his uniform in gore and blood and unspeakable filth.

We spend a lot of time worrying about finding my character clean clothes, or laundry service, because it’s what the character himself is concerned with.

It’s a great fun movie. The plot’s great, the pacing is great, the references are great, the comedy is great. It’s a fun adventure with a relatable team of misfit heroes.

It takes some liberties with the game mechanics to accomplish this. If you can’t forgive that, you’ll have a rough time, especially if you like wildshaping druids and spellcasting bards.

The entire point of moderation is to keep horrible people from saying horrible things. Say things that communities find acceptable, or get on out of those communities.

I’m sure there are some other communities that will welcome your opinions, but you should really already know how unpopular that particular opinion is among the general population of the English-speaking world.

Rotisserie gang! We roll hard!

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

I suspect you will be labeled as “sympathetic to groups known to discriminate against a group of people”, so yes, you will likely be banned from this particular community.

I know some gestures definitely aren’t. Nodding “yes” and shaking your head for “no” are not universal, nor is the “come here” motion or motions for eating or drinking.

One thing that IS universal is throwing your hands up in celebration of a victory. The thing boxers do at the end of a match. Even blind people who have never seen that gesture do it instinctively.
