True fact, I always carry a Wand of Magic Missile in 5e when I can afford it. They’re so useful, no concentration check stands a chance!

Fractional BAB wins again. I like D&D 5 just fine but for stuff like multi-classing and creating really complex builds D&D 3.5 is the superior system.

I found a list online and added my own ideas to it, stuff like “why did you become an adventure?”, “what will you do after this adventure is over?” and “who is your greatest friend/enemy?”

My last long campaign I did this thing where every time there was a campfire, or something else that made me roll on the random encounter table, I would prompt two random characters with a random conversation topic. Made for some simple roleplaying moments, and since their convo may-or-may-not get interrupted by something dangerous it was more interesting than just rolling the dice and pulling out the combat screen in the event of a fight.

I also haven’t gotten a chance to do this yet, but I’ve got an idea to make a puzzle whose clues get delivered to the players piecemeal and they put it together during non-combat scenes, instead of the usual way D&D handles puzzles where you encounter one and everything kind of stops while you solve it to open the door.

I’ve used them for about a year, so far no complaints. High speed, high privacy, only a couple things have required me to turn off my vpn to access them.

This is something I’ve thought was true for a while, but your comment made me go back and look for decent sources and while I found a few articles bemoaning tech in schools I also found a lot of good-looking scientific studies saying that it’s fine or even beneficial, so I deleted my comment.

AFAIK now, the negative outcomes are when it’s home schooling or COVID-era distance learning and the kid is only doing work on an ipad, so the problem isn’t the tech itself it’s the absence of a structured school environment with a teacher.

I have this idea to buy a .su domain and host my own email addy. I’m sure all the tools to do so exist on Linux but I haven’t taken the time to really research it yet.

I don’t think NASA sells their research, pretty much anyone can take it and make their own variant. So it’ll probably be an aviation startup that will try to run it like a tech company, collect a billion dollars and deliver vaporware (or if we’re lucky, something extremely dangerous like the oceangate sub) before eventually going bankrupt.

This is the focus of the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator, so it’s not like NASA isn’t working on that problem too for what it’s worth.

If it’s just a newsletter I would set up a mailbox filter that just sends all of their mail to the trash. GMail makes this pretty easy (highlight a spam message, select “filter messages like these” from the top menu), but idk how to do it on other mail servers.

From the fact that they can sell them at a higher price.
