I can do 4 pullups without issue, but I weigh a little over 60 kg (~135 lbs) so I have an easier time of it. I can't lift, but I do cardio because it makes me feel better long-term and is better for freerunning. I used to do a lot of freerunning back in high school but since I entered academia I've ...

He also wrote in favor of displaying of (christian) religious symbols by government offices in certain cases, a good example being his dissenting opinion in American Atheists, Inc. v.

Is he really that far right? I don't know that much about him besides him being an adherent constitutionalist, but he really didn't seem like a bad choice, especially if you really want a conservative justice like the GOP wanted to replace the one that died that was rather conservative.

I'm cool with it. The Dems refused play ball, so the Reps changed the rules to win. [youtube]JbyPRM36brU[/youtube] It's short sighted and against the spirit of the law.

The Senate Republicans "went nuclear" and rewrote the rules because the dems refused to play ball, now supreme court nominees only need 51 rather than 60 votes to get in, still a majority but a smaller majority. Unsurprisingly each side blamed the other. I wonder if the Republicans will r...

If the wizard is that evil, he's probably pissed off someone in the course of the campaign. Probably several people. Without his knowing, give THEM the power crystals, an explanation that it might kill them but it's a shot at revenge, and tell them they never saw you. Do this via notes or private ta...

How do you find ghost roles on lava land? Just exploring and clicking?

Borg wires are consistent within a round but not round to round.

Things you can click to become a ghost on lavaland appear in the Orbit list.

i really want to play paranoia some day i played it with shaps/some friends but we didn't prepare or know the rules so it was little more than a game of improv I've been thinking about running a one-shot game of Paranoia for /tg/ folks for a while now. I'll hit you up. Anyone else who'd be interest...

I inferred that. I do find that the majority of actual 3.5 play isn't as you describe it. That's how the game ends up if everyone pushes the upper limits of practical optimization, yes. Generally, though, I find that in most 3.5 games players understand how to keep their optimization to a level set ...

Drynwyn

I hate 3.5 and Pathfinder. Pathfinder a lot more, since it had years of 3.5's mistakes to learn from, and chose to discard all of this experience and make the same mistakes. Look up "INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS tower design". I'm familiar with the Monte Cook blog post in question. It doesn't act...

This is in fact true.

I prefer Pathfinder's skill system, and it's more frequent feats, but I prefer D&D 3.5's suite of character options.

All of my high-level estimates could be way off; I've only played 5e in the 1-8 level range. Bladesingers do extremely well in that period. All of my statements about higher levels are pure theorycraft.

Drynwyn

Why is it unlikely that a given GM would allow that do anything other than damage? That seems to make giant sweeping assumptions about the GM.

Also, at 20th level casters have more than enough save or die to deal with unlimited hitpoints.

Open Hand and Long Death monks are second in power only to Bladesingers, and even that's a fairly close call fake news Jesus Christ, where did you even get that from? Bladesingers are good but open hand monks are second only in power at high levels to moon druids, who are virtually fucking invincib...

It's plastic. It's a mottled orange color that looks kinda like old 60's Bakelite but it's not actually Bakelite. The Soviets used Bakelite for their polymer stuff for awhile until they developed better plastics like the rest of the world but they kept that mottled orange coloring and style for awh...

That bayonet looks great. Is the handle actually wood, or does it just look like wood?

5e monks are extremely, extremely solid. Balance is generally closer in 5e than 3.5, but I'd say that Open Hand and Long Death monks are second in power only to Bladesingers, and even that's a fairly close call. (Bladesingers are better in 'whiteroom' optimization, but have noticeably more limited r...

But then I realized something-- I'm 100% unaffected by antimagic as a monk. Monks use ki as a fuel, which isn't magical, and all the effects derived from it are thus nonmagical. So basically while the enemy is totally crippled by the antimagic field, totally unable to use any of their fancy items, ...

Why title this "women's studies majors make a video game"?

There's nothing extra-special-wrong with how romance/women in the game has been handled- the problem is that the game is just poorly written, animated, and voice acted in general.

Software developers specifically can get away with it because they're in high demand.

Recently wrapped up the "Darker Shade of Magic" trilogy.

Not half bad. Worldbuilding is interesting though underdeveloped, but the characters were a lot of fun to get to know.
