@trogdor Can't remember the last time I had to replace a battery in one =)
 
yeah exactly
 
(Can remember the last time I had to box up, move, and re-shelve 5000 of them, though.)
 
yeah true
there are advantages to having like 30 or so of my books in a device too
 
1:58 AM
plus no one asks to borrow those ones
XD
course it sucks if the device turns into a temporary or even permanent paperweight

Q: What is the maximum number of PC-controlled undead?

Revolver_OcelotI decided to make an unreasonable demand from nearby town and to gain an advantage in upcoming dispute I want an undead horde reinforcing my arguments. I am not looking for quality (after all, those buffoons can't tell skeleton from lich), but quantity. My question is: how many undead creatures ...

 
@HotRPGQuestions how many pieces of paper do you have?
:P
how many people at the table are you willing to make mad?
:P:P:P:P

lol
 
@HotRPGQuestions In 3.5 I made a level 13 PC who permanently controlled more than a hundred HD of undead, and could have more by using duration spells. And she wasn't using all the features she could.
She rode a skeletal nightmare above her shambling bodak-led army.
 
3:50 AM
oh my
 
I was about a thousand gold short of adding at least +50% her total capacity.

Q: Which ability applies to cooking meals with Cook's Utensils?

DanielWhich ability applies to cooking meals with cook's utensils? I've been looking through the PHB Chapter "Using Each Ability", and I checked the section on cook's utensils in Xanathar's Guide to Everything (p. 81), but it doesn't give any hint. The question came up while the party has been in a s...

Q: Can you hide in a Giant Frog's stomach?

MUNIn D&D, it is possible to get a Giant Frog companion (as a Beast Master ranger). I was wondering what would happen if your companion swallowed you. Would you take damage? Can you ride in its belly? If you do take damage, does it apply out of combat? Could you use this to infiltrate a Bullywug b...

Q: What skills in 5e give trap knowledge (i.e. the equivalent of Dungeoneering in 4e)?

C. Ross4e had a skill called Dungeoneering which was used for recognizing hazards and knowledge of some monsters. This skill doesn't exist in 5e. Clearly Perception and Investigation can be used to find traps, and thieves' tools can be used to disarm them, but what skill gives knowledge of likely traps ...

Q: Can the Delayed Spell metamagic feat be used with Fireball?

Draven_BlackbladeCan the Delayed Spell metamagic feat be used with Fireball? Delayed Spell says: ...Only spells that target one or more squares or grid intersections can be affected by Delayed Spell... Fireball mentions its target as: You point your finger and determine the range (distance and height...

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of Wand of Cure Light Wounds and Wand of Infernal Healing compared to each other?

Baskakov_DmitriyEvery party in Pathfinder and every character in Pathfinder Society need some healing source, and the two most common ones are a Wand of Infernal Healing and a Wand of Cure Light Wounds. It is often advised that everyone acquires one of the two wands as soon as possible. Given that one of the tw...

 
9:56 PM
@BESW huh... What a weird thing
 
10:20 PM
I would not have expected someone to be looking to play Mage the Ascension of all things with the setting but not the mechanics
 
10:58 PM
 
I saw that in the links, I actually love the idea of an RPG you actually play by playing another RPG
Especially one like that
Because that's just very amusing as a concept
 
I ran across another game kinda like that, it's a solo LARP you play simultaneously with a more traditional group RPG--preferably with strangers. But it's absolutely terrifying.
 
@trogdor LOL, that'd have been perfect in our nested RFS game
 
The absolute, ultimate truth is that heists always need planning.
 
@trogdor If I ever play Jessie again, she's gonna have the character aspect But Can I Smooch Them?
 
11:10 PM
@Zachiel ...did someone try a heist without planning?
 
@BESW she didn't already?
 
No, and I'm not sure why!
 
@BESW what does this involve that's scary? I can't see what it involves at all on my phone because I would have to download it
 
@Shalvenay We did. It was horrible. Well, maybe it was not a real herist, even if it's in a game about heists. It started with this rival guild threatening to throw the spans in our works at every turn, so we decide to blow up their base as a warning.
 
@BESW lol
 
11:13 PM
It ended up with me scarred by fire, a character with 3rd degree burns, another one without a hand and everyone in prison but me.
 
@trogdor During character creation, you take a moment to remember the name of someone in your life that your good friends know not to mention around you because it hurts too much. Give your character that name in order to reclaim it.
 
Oh god
Wow ok
Sheesh
 
@Zachiel That's one of the great things about games like Honey Heist that have built-in flashbacks to the planning session.
 
@BESW I had one flashback and I used it to justify something but at the wrong moment.
 
@Zachiel ouch!
"Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance"
 
11:18 PM
Like, maybe I should have used the flashback to give us the explosives rather than going in, noticing nobody had them after summoning angry spirits and kiling some guard and deciding to burn the place down with a lantern that someone hurled on their own feet on a terrible roll.

11:39 PM
@Zachiel Sounds like my Saturday game. All 3 of us just waiting to die.
 
hey there @Ben, how're things going?
 
Ben
It's cold, my hands smell like beef from cooking stir fry last night, the coffee shop is closed... so average for a Monday :P
How about yourself?
 
OK here
 
Ben
Been up to much lately?
 
got my DW game going after a bit of a hiatus
 
Ben
11:49 PM
Noice
 
yeah, hopefully we'll be able to get a regular tempo going with it again even
 
Ben
Fingers crossed! We are in a bit of a period where everyone has something going on at one point or another. This has forced the impending apocalyptic event to take a breather while we organise ourselves.
