It's been my experience that dice are more temperamental when they're only used by one person.

I bought a friend's dice collection and used them as the communal pool for all my players, and they calmed down a lot.

(Reason #3 why I show up early when I've got a class to teach: neither table nor chairs were in the classroom.)

Adeptus

@Miniman In 5e, they could be cantrips, in which case he can do them endlessly

Miniman

@Adeptus Yeah, but I think Tim deserves better than cantrips.

BESW

12:11 AM

In 3.5, my mind immediately goes to the blighter.

But also warlock.

Miniman

Yeah, 3.5 warlock was my first thought too.

BESW

Also... what is the effect of his explosions?

'cause they don't really go around setting things on fire or damaging folks, as I recall.

doppelgreener

The effect of his explosions is to punctuate his statements and interrupt people.

BESW

So a spell that has an emotional/social mechanic might be more realistic, just flavoured as explosions.

Miniman

Well, we never see him use them offensively.

Adeptus

12:17 AM

@Ben I gave away my first set... to a friend who lost their house in the bushfires earlier this year. Honestly, they weren't my favourites (the dice, that is).

Miniman

But they appear to replicate the effects of a flamethrower, an RPG, and some sort of remote incendiary device.

Adeptus

@doppelgreener Will It Blend?

BESW

@Adeptus You can use an action to automatically inflict 2 physical stress on a small, inanimate, unattached object. (If you do not have access to an AC current, you can only do this once per scene.)

Carpathian blue slug.

(Is exactly what it says on the tin.)

So, Ursula Vernon has been struggling with the way succulent plants reproduce by falling apart to create entirely new plants. She's running out pots and has to get creative.

Yes, those are live plants. I cut drainage holes in the feet, stuffed coffee filters in the legs, and filled with cactus soil mix & perlite.

12:33 AM

@Adeptus While my first set might not be my favourites... I still have a special connection to them haha. Just like (as I'm sure most others would too) I have a special connection to my first character

BESW

My first dice were given to me as a present. They look very nice, but they're thin gold numbers on a mottled blue mold of the same tone.

Almost literally impossible to read except in very bright light or very close up.

Ben

@BESW ooooh... they sound purdy :D

Mine weren't anything too special, speckled blue/white with white numbers

BESW

Oh, yes, very pretty.

But pretty doesn't cut it.

doppelgreener

@BESW What makes a succulent plant?

BESW

It may be unreasonable, but I expect my dice to be legible.

@doppelgreener Another succulent plant.

Seriously though, succulents are plants that have thick, fleshy bits for storing water so they're drought-resistant.

(In horticulture, this excludes cacti and plants where the swollen fleshy bits are all underground; in botany it includes them.)

Ben

12:38 AM

Actually some of my more favourite dice are actually the odd ones out. Eg. My Companion Cube dice, and a d20 that I bought on it's own cos I forgot my own set one week.

BESW

At any rate: a lot of the kinds of succulents that gardeners like to grow reproduce by just having bits detach or fall off and then the bits act like new plants.

Ben

The d20 is just a plain grey-blue colour with bronze numbers

BESW

I like my red-and-white Centurion dice.

doppelgreener

Ha! Apparently the ones I use for Stellata are the Atomic Robo dice.

BESW

I'm slightly envious of Trogdor's Atomic Robo and Eldritch dice.

doppelgreener

12:43 AM

(I'd long since discarded the cardboard packaging, but I kept the plastic bit to keep them together like a little dice bowl.)

Dan uses the Eldritch dice.

BESW

I bought Centurion and Core dice, on the grounds that it looked like they'd all be the easiest to tell apart from each other.

(And that I was cheap and didn't want to pay more for branded dice.)

(And that Eldritch dice are cool, but a gimmick that wouldn't ever actually get noticed in casual use.)

I guess, I like being comfortable knowing I have enough dice for anything we want to do without needing the others to bring theirs too--it's one of the things I, as someone who really likes being a GM, should be able to provide in order to do what I enjoy--but I don't want dice for their own sake. I want legible, functional dice that aren't distracting and don't get in the way of play.

@doppelgreener Toooookeeeeensss.

WHAAAAAAA. The one store that sold them appears to no longer do so!!

Adeptus

1:14 AM

Couldn't you use poker chips or similar?

doppelgreener

Yes. But:

These are smaller, slimmer, and more manageable. And I have coins by this manufacturer - there's something wonderful about holding metal with just a bit of heft to it. :)

Adeptus

Shiny

doppelgreener

They are that as well.

(In the Firefly sense as well.)

What the heck... both Good Games stores in my state, and the central distribution center, won't pick up my calls. They ring out.

Ben

They know it's you

Because they're currently in this chat

And they are enjoying watching you squirm

doppelgreener

noooo T_T how could they do this to me

Miniman

1:30 AM

@doppelgreener Marketing told them to.

Ben

doppelgreener

I like to imagine it is both of these at once.

Miniman

@doppelgreener I mean, no one really understands why marketing people say the things they say. It may well be due to Ben's reason.

Cougar boost is an excellent concept for an energy drink

@BESW this is an acceptable adult use of MLP

@Sandwich a cougar...?

Sandwich

Wrong cougar

Ben

or a cougar...?

Sandwich

Since when does Cougar Type-A roar?

Ben

2:27 AM

My knowledge of big cats is next to nil. Lol

I just googled "Cougar"

@Sandwich Hmm... I think you might need to wait until you're older :P

Sandwich

3:42 AM

@Miniman There you go, effective solution without need for spell slots.

Miniman

@Sandwich Yep, I removed my downvote when you added the magic item.

Sandwich

That blindfold is actually an amazing item for its cost

Blindsight is OP as hell

You could also use Bigby's Grasping hand and then fire spells at the hand

Miniman

@Sandwich That's a pretty cool idea, but wouldn't hitting the hand be an issue?

Sandwich

That'd depend on a DM ruling

You'd have to determine whether or not you as the caster would know the location of the hand

If you did know the location of the hand despite its concealment you'd be fine

If you didn't then you couldn't

Miniman

Hmmm. At 7th level, it's way out of my reach anyway, sadly.

Sandwich

3:49 AM

Whats your maximum spell level, 5?

Miniman

4th :(

Sandwich

So you're 7th level-ish?

Miniman

Yep, just hit 8th level

Sandwich

Wizard I assume

Miniman

Yep

Sandwich

3:52 AM

So provided you did have the money for the blindfold you'd be set

Miniman

Yeah, it's been a pretty low-gold campaign. I only just scraped together an Int +2 item.

Sandwich

Eww

You JUST got 4k gold?

Miniman

I've bought a few scrolls along the way, but pretty much, yeah

Sandwich

Gross

That means you're the most powerful person in your group by a landslide

Miniman

It's not so bad for me. The Artificer in our group, on the other hand...

Sandwich

3:54 AM

Mundanes don't even have their power spikes without magic items at early levels

Miniman

Heh, the Druid and the Cleric are doing fine.

Sandwich

Those are also tier 1 classes though =\

Miniman

The guy/girl (long story) who started out as an archer Rogue and has meandered into a melee rogue/fighter is...well...yeah.

Sandwich

Who needs magic items when you can be a giant bear

That rogue is going to be screwed if he's stunted in gold

Cant afford a Ring of Blinking means he cant reliably apply sneak attack damage dice

Miniman

Pretty much screwed him/herself over already, tbh.

Doesn't seem to care, though.

Sandwich

3:58 AM

Well they can still be a skill-monkey

If they have a high INT that role is pretty much locked down

If they have a high CHA they can also be the face

But trying to deal damage in a party with a Wizard, Cleric, and Druid... that's just a lost cause =\

Especially if its Low-Gold

Miniman

They've been a bit all over the place with skills, too. We've had players coming and going a lot, and their perceptions of what role they could/should be filling kept changing.

It's a pretty low-op game. I've curbed my urges to go ham, and the Cleric and the Druid are either unpracticed in the noble art of optimization or really good at pretending.

cough Radiant Servant of Pelor cough

Sandwich

Cloudkill + Solid Fog is a pretty sick combo though

Miniman

Normally, yeah, but we've been fighting mostly undead

Solid fog + Evard's black tentacles is a pretty sweet way to mess up a 20-foot radius, though

Sandwich

I had that in my answer too

I removed it though

Miniman

Yeah, I tried to limit the scope of the question as much as I could (cos, yanno, 3.5)

Sandwich

4:06 AM

If you want to get really sick with it you can always drop a solid fog and then drop a Prismatic wall at the edge

Miniman

Pretty nice, still a bit higher than I can manage for now though

Ben

4:36 AM

Miniman

I looked for the hovertext out of habit and was like "Huh?" First time I've seen someone onebox an xkcd that was hosted somewhere else.

Sandwich

Lol

A function that gets a random number that always returns the number 4

Miniman

RFC 1149.5 specifies 4 as the standard IEEE-vetted random number.

Sandwich

And it has no semicolon

So it wouldn't compile

Miniman

@Sandwich Depends on the language

Sandwich

4:40 AM

Looks like C or C++

The semicolon would have to be at the end of the brackets

Miniman

It's been a while since I've done C, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong

Sandwich

You sure?

No wait.. I think you're actually right

It's been ages since I've done any programming

@Miniman @Sandwich Comments are ignored, empty lines are fine. All is well here. You need semicolons after statements, not after each line or chunk of text.

Tritium21

int foo() { return 1; } // valid

Mhm! (Also, sorry to interrupt!)

Tritium21

Miniman

Huh. I guess that's an empty statement; wonder if it becomes a nop or nothing.

@Sandwich @Emrakul How's that going, btw?

Tritium21

it would probably be totally omitted with any optimization levels

Miniman

@Miniman Up and down. More down at the moment than up, but we'll get through it.

Miniman

@Emrakul Sorry to hear that :(

user61230

Things should smooth out pretty soon, though.

Ben

@Sandwich I think that is a semicolon - return 4;

Miniman

@Ben He meant after the function definition - } ;

(Wow, a crossed out semicolon just doesn't work)

Ben

It's actually c#, and that is a valid method

int RandomNumber()
{
    return 4;
}

doppelgreener

5:02 AM

@Emrakul I saw the drama about the ban - and at least one person attempting vainly to present himself as a potential martyr but sounding more like a conspiracy nut.

@Ben Just paste the code as-is, then hit CTRL+K to indent it and make it a code block.

Ben

Go it :)

Tritium21

Thats a valid method in a LOT of languages.

doppelgreener

Multiline posts don't have access to markdown (so [these](http://example.com) links won't work either, but you can just paste URLs), but you can do two things: that code block, and put a > at the very beginning to make the whole thing a quote. (The exception is if you have a :4983984-type reply at the beginning: you can place the > directly after that.)

Ben

With a bit of syntax-tweaking it's viable in almost every language.

doppelgreener

YOU'RE viable in almost every language!

user61230

5:05 AM

@doppelgreener Yeah, that. It could've been a lot worse, though. All in all, things are good still.

Ben

@doppelgreener I need an ice pack

Tritium21

> I can make this lie of a quote!

Miniman

@Ben YOU need an icepack!

Wait...

Ben

@Miniman Jeez... at this rate I'll need to go to the hospital for 1st degree burns!

Sandwich

I wonder who decided

That they should measure burns based on severity

Instead of based on temperature

Miniman

5:20 AM

Well, if you get burned in a small area for a small amount of time at a high temperature, it probably won't be as bad as if you get burned for a long amount of time over a long area at a lower temperature

In terms of dealing with the burn, severity is what actually matters.

Miniman

5:37 AM

@Emrakul Funny moment - browsing boardgames.se, and I saw a weird joke about you. Turns out Emrakul is the name of a MTG card.

@SPArchaeologist Do SPA means Super Pony Archaeologist? :P

in Sugarcube Corner on Meta Stack Exchange Chat, Apr 29 at 15:25, by SPArchaeologist

@berserk no, it is just a common joke on SharePoint SE. Many usernames starts with SP since it is a common prefix for SharePoint related classes in the .net framework

in Sugarcube Corner on Meta Stack Exchange Chat, Apr 29 at 15:26, by SPArchaeologist

(he should fall for it, secret is safe)

To be honest, it was indeed intended as a SharePoint prefix (we have also SPDoctor, SPDev, SPDeveloper, SPBeginer, SPCoder, ....)

The fact that it can be interpreted as Super Pony is an added bonus.

doppelgreener

@SPArchaeologist Is that SPBeginer typo in your writing just then or the actual name?

SPArchaeologist

SPBeginer, Stockholm, Sweden

825 10 31

we also have some more users sharing the same name without the typo.

Miniman

I can't decide whether to pronounce that bejinner or beginer

SPArchaeologist

Since he is the only one with the typo, I would not exclude the possibility it was done on purpose to have a different username from the others.

That said, I would have changed my whole username instead of resorting to a typing error.

doppelgreener

6:51 AM

@SPArchaeologist this is hilarious

but the typing error is perfect for a beginer

SPArchaeologist

As I said yesterday, SharePoint.SE is a strange community indead

Chat room is a barren wasteland of death and silence.

user61230

Some sites don't really use their chatrooms much.

SPArchaeologist

and the site has ridiculous traffic and participation.

Miniman

Probably because lots of people use Sharepoint, but no one really wants to talk about Sharepoint.

Especially when they could be talking about RPGs!

doppelgreener

@Miniman This sounds perfectly reasonable.

Adeptus

6:55 AM

@Miniman The first rule of Sharepoint is you do not talk about Sharepoint

Miniman

@doppelgreener It also has the bizarre side effect of making it sound like we're the cool kids.

doppelgreener

@Miniman Well, we do talk about pretty cool stuff.

SPArchaeologist

Some random stats:
- No great question badge, only 21 good and 239 nice (which is strange since we have the view based one like famous, popular and so on). Situation is the same for answers badges
- 4 guru answer awarded in total
- 36 Mortarboard, no epic and no legendary
- 79 Vox Populi , 111 suffrage
- top upvoted question has 78 votes, top answer has 77. My own top answer has 28.

@BESW Oof. Good thing you swung by.

user61230

@SPArchaeologist Hold on, searching for some queries. I think you guys have more active users than you think.

Miniman

@SPArchaeologist Well, you said you guys have the view badges, right?

SPArchaeologist

problem with SharePoint.SE is that usually it is used like a last hope card when you can't find anything about your problem anywhere on the net.
This means we have two category of questions:
- banal, 0 research done ones who get immediately answer by the zerg lurkers and usually net 0-1 votes (may be accepted, but only if you are lucky)
- Difficulty over 9k questions who attract wild guess answers that I personally hate (the "have you tried to" answer that as far as I am concerned is not an answer but a comment on the question). No one downvote because even the -1 seem a lot when the rep ga…

doppelgreener

BESW

user61230

Graduation criteria have changed significantly lately.

user61230

I don't know when SharePoint graduated, but iirc it's been around a while.

BESW

such change? very criteria? much strict? impose.

doppelgreener

7:14 AM

It had enough users, questions, answers, etc.

"Questions are not a total pain in the arse for everyone involved" is not a graduation criteria.

user61230

That's true. Questions can be a pain and the site can still have high user retention and activity.

BESW

Okay, dashing out. ttfn

Hm. You might be right about users.

I'm opposing the policy. I don't have an opinion on the product, although I'd probably find it offensive as well.

Alex Mitan

9:55 AM

@BESW ever played Fate with "simultaneous combat" rules? As in, if I attack someone with 5, and they end up with a 7, I take 2 stress?

BESW

I haven't.

Alex Mitan

I'm wondering what effect that'd have on gameplay...

BESW

@AlexMitan Good mainsite question?

Alex Mitan

Okay, sure!

BESW

Answers should be from experience, of course.

Alex Mitan

Yep.. what tags should I give that?

BESW

fate conflict optional-rules, maybe?

Alex Mitan

Here we go.. not sure if it sounds great, but hey

BESW

Bada-bing, bada-edit.

Alex Mitan

Thank you very much!

by the way, how do you handle initiative/turn order in your games?

BESW

We use Atomic Robo/Marvellous initiative.

- If it's not obvious who goes first in a conflict, roll initiative to find out.
- When a character's turn is over, their controller (player or GM) chooses who goes next from all the characters who haven't yet had a turn that round.
- The last character to go in a round chooses anyone except themselves to start the next round.

Alex Mitan

10:20 AM

Hm, okay, that's what I was thinking too, but isn't it a bit imbalanced if a large chunk of players start and reduce the enemies to dust before they even act?

Tashio

10:30 AM

What's stopping someone from making a highly defensive character and all they do is defend, means they are able to turn so many attacks back on their attackers that they might not be able to do in a conventional attack defence rotation?

user61230

In Fate, @Tashio?

Alex Mitan

@Tashio Not much, I guess, but nobody in their right mind would focus the tank

One character just bunkers up? Fine, everyone gangs up on everyone else

but I can see how that might be a problem

hopefully I will not get a comment flagged today that brings down other site mods into our beloved chatroom

@JoshuaAslanSmith sigh, the silliness

BESW

That'd be nice. It was easy to take the wrong way, regardless of intent, especially in a conversation that was already fast and furious.

Joshua Aslan Smith

12:13 PM

it was pretty frustrating, I just kept mum and they looked at the record and saw I was in fact not being mean/threatening but just trying to explain how the site works via a metaphor

@BESW oh you read the logs then?

BESW

...I can't resist.

@JoshuaAslanSmith What's a meta for?

Joshua Aslan Smith

haha, guess doppel mentioned it

BESW

I do generally read the backlogs.

So when I logged on that morning I gave Storyteller the rpg.meta links that were so desperately missing from the discussion. (That's what a meta's for.)

Joshua Aslan Smith

Jeez. I visited English Language Learners Beta Yesterday and answered a question about the spelling of "brute force" and got 20 upvotes on it.

BESW

12:21 PM

Speaking of English SEs, hi @mike32!

mike32

oh hi

Aaron

Good Morning

mike32

And good afternoon (yay timezones)

learning about chat profiles and their relation to SE profiles all of a sudden

BESW

Yeah, you can choose which specific Stack profile your chat profile links to.

But by default, it's your first.

mike32

Ah. At first I thought it was defaulting to highest rep.

Most of my SE time is on RPG so...

BESW

12:27 PM

I'm pretty sure not? But don't quote me on it.

Aaron

I think I changed my to be my RPG profile

mike32

Mine's RPG now. Hooray!

Alex Mitan

@BESW So I got a pretty satisfying answer

BESW

@mike32 Yey!

@AlexMitan [blink] Some of it I agree with, but some of it seems... very much to not "get" Fate.

Alex Mitan

@BESW I never got that... aren't imperial storm troopers completely rubbish in pretty much any scene other than that initial one? TvTropes bases an entire trope on that

@BESW How so?

BESW

12:31 PM

@AlexMitan "It might unduly favor things like knives over axes. That can have wide implications on your economy too, nobody will want to buy large weapons but they cost the most?" makes NO SENSE in Fate.

Alex Mitan

@BESW Oh. Yeah, that one I didn't get either

BESW

And concepts like "main DPS" are equally "wait, what are you playing?"

Aaron

@AlexMitan Storm troopers are actually really elite soldiers. They only seem trash because they are under orders to not succeed.

Alex Mitan

But other than that.. read my response right?

BESW

@AlexMitan Yeah.

Alex Mitan

12:33 PM

Real-life combat, especially melee, is short, nasty and based on taking no risks

BESW

@AlexMitan To be fair, Obi-Wan was probably last in a conflict with storm troopers around the time when they were all highly-trained clones assassinating thousands of Jedi.

Alex Mitan

When I was a kid I saw this documentary, and it stuck with me forever how it mentioned that actual medieval fighting was over in seconds, and death was slow and painful

BESW

@AlexMitan There's still a fair amount of debate over that, I think (especially re: what you can and can't do in armour), but--yes, the general points stands.

Aaron

@BESW @AlexMitan This explains it nicely

Alex Mitan

Maybe that kind of thing would be better suited to something grim or more realistic... maybe a zombie apocalypse of the "grim unavoidable doom" flavour, not the "killcounts are awesome bro" one

BESW

12:36 PM

@AlexMitan [takes notes]

One of my players wants to run a gritty zombie game in Fate.

Alex Mitan

You seriously, 110% need to see the Fate Codex with the "All Fate Must Be Eaten" article

just buy it, it's only a couple bucks, and it's completely brilliant

BESW

I've pointed him at it.

Alex Mitan

the zombies are unrelenting, and they never roll dice, they're this constant looming threat, like a fire that boils under the already volatile characters

it has elements of discovery to it, but knowledge isn't always power in that setting

BESW

Interesting.... [yawn] I need some sleep.

Alex Mitan

Crap, I totally took that in the wrong way, sorry

I've got to go for now, though

BESW

12:45 PM

Sorry, I'm seriously exhausted. Long day.
