A thought just came to mind: I have a savings account with another bank that I pump a portion of my savings into. I can pay for stuff from there as well. If you set up a mainland US bank account, your bank may be okay with sending money to that one, and then that one may be okay with sending money to Kickstarter.
When I went to college in SC, I got an account with a mainland FCU. They got really wacko about it after I moved back to Guam and couldn't show up in person at their branch anymore.
It did make this sort of thing a lot easier, but the hassle of the FCU itself wasn't worth it
There are other banks here on island that might play nicer with the Internet, but I haven't had the time and energy to research them to pick one.
First Hawaiian has a bad reputation for customer service; Coast 360 is run by nobodies; and so forth.
My current bank was quite nice until it got bought out.
I am in the position of having encountered a stellar answer I want to give a bounty to, but I have to wait another day and a half before I can start the bounty.
@waxeagle I star the questions I can see myself potentially bountying, or which acquire answers I want to bounty, and every now and then I go back through my star list and try to remember why I starred something and if there's something I want to bounty.
no game tomorrow. Let me see what my schedule for tomorrow looks like, I should be free for a bit during the day tomorrow/Friday (or we can find some time in the evenings).
A campaign wherein the Goblin Brothers and their kin are PCs, and the antagonist is the evil villain who bosses them around. Unfortunately goblins are so pathetic he's immune to their attacks, so they must orchestrate his downfall by heroes without him figuring out what they're doing too early.

small site-op question: can one bounty the same question more than once? I want to be sure I get this right.... I want to reward bounties on two different answers on the same question. Should I set the bounty, award it to my second-favorite answer, then am I able to set a second (doubled) bounty to subsequently award to my first-favorite?
so if you start at 50, your next must be 100 or more, then the next must be double that (200 or more), etc. this ought to explain the bounty amounts being what they are, as well.
I received an email response from them yesterday suggesting that individuals interested in contacting them regarding mod behaviour should not be trying to accumulate an overwhelming mountain of evidence first - just one serious occurrence is still serious, a hundred trivial issues are still trivial.

Tonight's dinner is sautéed Worthington Veja-Links in fresh-made whole wheat buns, topped with organic ketchup and a sweet & sour relish made from bell peppers and onions with garlic, ginger, Tabasco, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar, and served alongside steamed Japanese sweet potato and local squash.

@BESW Death or Glory, Sir Poley's new system. It's an alpha not by any known publisher, so up to you if you think it's worth it. But having read it, it is pretty awesome.

> Massive, whale-like creatures, purrgil lived not on land or sea, but in space, and were the stuff of legend for the galaxy’s smugglers and pilots. They were often a bluish purple color and moved gracefully thanks to four large hind tentacles, along with two side fins and a dorsal fin. Purrgil required a specific green gas in order to breathe, which allowed them to travel great distances through the space. While very few have seen it, purrgil had the ability to travel through hyperspace.

General question for the Chat: Is Dungeon World good for lethal, punishing settings, in games where genre-savvy, hero-like behaviour gets you into lots of trouble? Is it good for games where acting awesome and being awesome are mutually contradictory?
to question 1 I think apocalypse world handles that better whereas dungeon world has a bit of that D&D feel imbued in it (it certainly makes a lot of jokes in the book suggesting a light tone, Adventurers which can be an enemy the PCs face are joking described as murder hobos)
When a party has encounters a master swordsman and the Ranger spins and slashes at him while dual wielding lightning-enchanted katanas, the Ranger is acting awesome.
When this master swordsman ripostes with a stab to the face and makes the ranger electrocute himself, because he knows pirouettes and dual wielding is a great way to yourself killed, he is awesome by virtue of effectiveness.
I mean in dungeon world you won't really have this situation in general its not a loot drivern rpg liike D&D is by default (plenty of people have written up and sold 3rd party loot lists for DW) the magic items in the book have more of a story focus than anything else and generally players aren't going to come across them unlessyou as the GM explicitly give them out
each class will have unique moves that are a fucntion only their character cna do
If the player decides to act in a flashy, heroic way, he will NOT end up a hero.
Being a hero is a result of one's overall achievement, not an assumption.
And similarly, acting in a high-fantasy way will get you killed.
Even if the setting is not a crapsack world.
basically, I would like to run a hyper realistic adventures game, where players would deconstruct heroic fantasy tropes while being subject to some level of historical accuracy.
theres nothing that would default to you being killed for dual wielding for example, anyone can do it, though only the ranger sheet benefits from it in any hard mechanical way. There's nothing inherent in the system to say punish that behavior except since it is narrative its like well mate you cant use a free hand ot grab someone or open a door or anything else.
@eimyr so on the one hand DW encourages hard choices with the dice mechanic with onl 10+ being a full on success and 7-9s forcing players to expose themselves or give something up to achieve a baseline of success, but on the other hand its a very highly abstracted system and has a D&D like 6 stats. I will say that non-magic users are 100 percent as competent and that they usually do more damage in straight up combat in my experience
The main theme of the game I could summarise as "Players are D&D-type adventurers looking for quests of gold and glory, and the world is historically accurate 12th century Germany"
combat wise I dont know that DW would really support a witcher esque fencing/fechtbuch approach, but in terms of social interactions and world building I think it could handle that
Would a question asking for ways to acquire constant/permanent/at-will detect evil in Pathfinder be well received? I'm trying to verify the options available and to see if I've missed any. So far, I've only found 2 options.
@JoshuaAslanSmith Yes, but I suspect it'd require me to provide information about my character since "best" would likely include "opportunity cost". For instance, is taking a level in Paladin "best"? The answer there would be, "depends on your character build."
Well, I suspect that the list of options is pretty short. List questions are typically discouraged because they could be long. As I mentioned, I've only found 2 options thus far, so it looks like this list would be very short.
I could go a different way and frame the two options into the question and ask if there other options, which turns it into a yes/no question.
@Ellesedil but you'd get a useless answer. Just tell us who your character is, what you intend for them, what you'd like to do (constant / at-will detect evil), why you're doing it (someone may be able to recommend something specific), and your goals for the character you don't want to compromise if you can help it.
Well, not useless, but not actually all that helpful because you're not sure what those options are.
If your question gets closed as too broad, commenters might also give you the hint they think there's too many options - which gives you the "yes" you were going to get in the other question.
