Q: How to ask questions on Role-Playing Games without getting instantly moderated as opinion based

LokiareHow can you ask questions on Role-Playing Games without getting instantly moderated as opinion based. For example I asked this clearly mathematical question and got moderated almost instantly for opinion: D&D 5E: Are the new Bard Class Options Tier 1

Often capable of solving encounters with a single mechanical ability and little thought from the player. Has world changing powe...

@Ben My seven year-old told me the other day that the tooth fairy buys teeth to sell to bounty hunters; the bounty hunters then criticize the (disembodied) teeth, which prevents them from having to criticize people. (Which would hurt their feelings.)

Are there procedures to follow with a problem-user besides appealing to a moderator?
Ben
Ben
I think the advice is usually talk to [a specified person]
The Player, The group, the DM.
Escalate as necessary
Wait
You're talking about on the site?
Medix2
Medix2
Yeah, unfortunately
I suppose I can just trust that the system will figure things out itself
Ben
Ben
What's the issue?
Medix2
Medix2
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to mention specifics
But an overall lack of listening to other users, including moderators. And holding of inherently incorrect beliefs such as "If a question is closed it won't get views or answers ever"
As well as antagonistic comments, or at least jumps to wild, unfounded conclusions
Ben
Ben
Right. Yeah in that case I'd just drop it. Leave them alone and if it gets properly out of hand then ping a mod.
It sounds like in this situation, the least that is required is to actually come up with case=specific evidence to prove them wrong, which is more effort than it's worth. It's easier to just drop it and ignore them until they aim to be helpful
Medix2
Medix2

Yeah I think that'll be my current approach then. Thanks for helping!

Any time :) the only thing I'd amend to that is remind them of the "Be Nice" policy (which I reckon there should be a meta for, if there isn't already), and that their current behaviour is not productive, then leave it there.

Str was my dump stat so I had 10 str for my roll + 2 from my worshiped god
I got hit by multiple crippling injuries a -5 and a -6
So my already awful strength stat got lowers to 1
“I’m a full caster I don’t need strength”
Since these are injuries the only way to fix them is get treatment which as you can imagine will be insanely expensive
So until I can afford it or take the plunge and borrow from some questionable people I wanted to know how bad it would be
well borrowing from questionable people it is. Wish me luck!

@nitsua60 It's not just you. There is some... questionable language on it in general. It's certainly not universally as bad as some *chans, but it's not without its issues.
Carcer talks about it a bit here:
May 21 at 17:04, by Carcer
anyway, as regards other experience, via dubious decisionmaking in my youth I was briefly an admin for the original wikichan, before it became the well-groomed anonymous, after which I set up 1d4chan, which I've also long since really burnt on paying much attention to and trying to keep a sensible lid on but continue to host out of a misguided sense of obligation

RIP D&D Insider: geeknative.com/70078/…
> You have up to the end of the year to export your characters and monsters from Wizards of the Coast’s D&D Insider. If you’re still using it.
The D&D Insider (known as DDI) is an application that allowed players to manage their character sheets for D&D 4. The subscription model also provided new content up until 2017.
Wizards have kept the tool gong because some gamers still used it. However, the application used Microsoft Silverlight, and Microsoft no longer supports Silverlight.
Any content you have stored in DDI will become unavailable on the 1st of Jan 2020.

I thought it was already dead
so same really
it does make me perversely happy in a way
to know there were still some people playing 4E, and enough of them doing it with that specific tool to keep it operating until Silverlight itself was no longer supported

It was dead to us because if you ever stopped paying your subscription to DDI after 5e launched, they didn't let you start it again.

Q: D&D-like fantasy film from possibly the 80s

Kalman BachmannWhen I was a little kid I was fascinated by this movie but I only remember parts of it. These are the little snippets I remember: The villain was a Darth Vader-like black knight with a large sword. He had a helmet that covered half of his face. He must have had something terrible happen to him...

What did you do with the body ?
NautArch
NautArch
@goodguy5 kill -9?
Carcer
Carcer
@NautArch "kill" is the standard unix utility for sending signals to processes, "-9" is the short form for using the signal SIG_KILL
basically - it is telling a process to immediately stop running and die
NautArch
NautArch
@Carcer ah, that makes much more sense
Pierre Cathé
Pierre Cathé
And not the nice "save and quit" kind, the "tactical nuke" kind

MikeQ

But it only works if the process has 100 or fewer hit points

I'm familiar with the kill command, but not the -9
Carcer
Carcer
POWER SIGNAL KILL
righto
MikeQ
MikeQ
@NautArch It's a ninth level command, hence the -9
Carcer
Carcer
yeah, SIGTERM is "please stop"
SIGKILL is "stop now"
Pierre Cathé
Pierre Cathé
14:29
The less-known power word sigterm works on processes with 150 hp remaining
Carcer
Carcer
still depends on the process being able to handle interrupts though
if you've got something paralysed on disk I/O that will never come it's not much help.
goodguy5

Well, I had overflowed the vi internal command buffer and it was pretty mad. The screen window was basically unrecoverable.

Of course you can reproduce the effects of any lower-level command with a sudo, though beware of the side-effects !
You might end up removed from the sudoers file if you abuse it

I think its a subquestion of the linked one. "Is X on this list?" is answered by that list

"Is there a playable Gith race" isn't the same as "What are the playable races".
but it is a subset, so i dunno
JohnP

Ah, but the question isn't "Is there a playable gith race", the question is "Are Githyanki a playable race in D&D 5e?"
Someone_Evil
Someone_Evil
That sounds like the same question by different words
JohnP
JohnP
The first one allows for expansion and clarification, the second is a basic "Yeah"
Slight subtlety I admit, but aren't nuances why we play the game? :D
Maybe change it to be "Are Gith a playable race, and if so, what are the resources that have that information?"

What is the expansion and clarification possible on the first one? They seem to me to be clearly the same question and with the same answer; "Yeah, it's here:..."
NautArch

@Someone_Evil So the question "Is there Fireball in 5e" is the same as "What are all the spells in 5e?"

@NautArch No, but it is a subset

YasskierThere are situations, when you know SOMETHING that is related to the question but its insubstantial to be a proper answer, in example lets imagine a question: In which edition of game X dwarves are allowed to play as mages? Now lets say that I know a bit of game X, but I haven't played a wh...

Thanks you V2Blast for that
It just seems odd that im getting comments about that, but other's aren't for the same thing. It's been a few weeks worth of it. I am doing it to begin with based on others NOT being called out for it
Having the Q&A above will help. Thank you.

@J.Wagner There is actually a long history of answers-in-comments getting deleted here, and a mod (or community member) usually links that meta to them when someone does post such a comment.
Those comments just usually get deleted after it's clear the user's seen it :P

@J.Wagner So one thing worth remembering is that when other users get called out, that usually leads to comments getting removed shortly afterwards. So many of the instances where users are making that mistake are getting deleted before you're seeing them.

We wouldn't want to just leave up a mod warning as a "mark of shame" or something.

You too!
BTW, just for reference, the reason Xirema asked "On this stack, or on other stacks?" is that we are a little stricter about comments being used for their intended purpose than some other sites are. Personally, I can't stand the walls of answer-comments on scifi.SE - they clutter up the area beneath the question, they can't be edited or improved, they can't be downvoted, etc. I liked the cleaner comment policy here before I was a mod, and I think it makes the site better :)

Q: Can the Mage Hand Spell do somatic components if the person who cast it doesn't have a free hand?

SantaClawsTheNecromancerA wizard casts the Mage Hand spell. They then pick up a short sword and a shield. They then want to cast Burning Hands against an opponent. Can they use the active Mage Hand to provide the somatic component for it?
