@Medix2 That what exactly happens. I'm imagining a number of different scenarios, and none of them make a whole lot of sense

Ben

There goes my productivity for the day :P

Medix2

A cow produces a "batch" of milk, I assume it is not all immediately sent into a single carton of milk, but ends up spread across multiple cartons which spend various amounts of time in different stores/locations until all of them are bought/used. Once all traces of that "batch" are purchased/disposed of the "batch" is out of circulation

Someone_Evil

@Medix2 Does milk not come with an expiry date where you live?

KorvinStarmast

@kviiri proof positive that chatting with kviiri leads to goodness and smiles. :) And bear.

Medix2

@Someone_Evil It does, but not everybody follows it, also sell-by is not the same as expiration in some places, you'd also still have to track it

Though now I wonder if all the milk produced on 03/01 expires on the exact same day... and presumably it doesn't

KorvinStarmast

00:05

@Medix2 No, it does not. FWIW, we go to a farm an hour+ north of where we live once per year for raw milk and the butter made therefrom. Must bring one's own sterilized container. It is sooooo good.

goodguy5

@Medix2 those collection vats are something else.

goodguy5

00:22

phew. a half-pint of 15% beer is something else.

KorvinStarmast

@kviiri I think I need to wait on my "One Unique Thing" until you have a chance to get the game set up. I am otherwise about 95% done with Bard creation.

NautArch

@KorvinStarmast nothing beats fresh raw milk

KorvinStarmast

@NautArch yeah, it reminds me of the milk I drank as a kid ..

Someone_Evil

@goodguy5 15% beer and 85% of what exactly?

goodguy5

I assume water, malt, and hops.

maybe some bourbon barrel particulates.

@NautArch I think my bard needs to be a lady, but I need to run something past Kviiri on the "one unique thing" spectrum. Brain overcooked on the drive home today.

@Carcer Using Cards Against Humanity to build Character Backstory

V2Blast

@NautArch I was looking at the classes in the core book and it only had basically the base 5e classes... I'm guessing chaos mage and the like are from other books?

KorvinStarmast

02:48

@V2Blast Chaos Mages are at the 13th age srd site. here

V2Blast

@KorvinStarmast I'm aware

I looked at both that and the core book PDF

and was wondering why they were in the SRD but not in the core book

same with Commander and some others, I think

KorvinStarmast

@V2Blast Oh, sorry, ah. There is a mention made somewhere on that page that they added some stuff after some legal things were ironed out. I stumbled over it as I was digging through stuff yesterday.

I figured that since kviiri had pointed me to the srd page that we'd work from there. shrugs if not, we can adapt.

V2Blast

ah ok

the SRD pages seemed to be somewhat lacking in, e.g., fluff/flavor text

so I was looking at the core book PDF too

KorvinStarmast

And I finally figured out my "one unique thing" and found support for it in 13 true ways. Yeah, I had to get it as it is where metallic dragons are finally put together. So, no need to get 13 true ways, I have it as a resource. (we can find legal ways to share, I am pretty sure)

@V2Blast that they are, but all one needs to play is there, I think.

But I have to run it by kviiri to get the "yeah" or "uh, not quite" as a fit for the campaign

V2Blast

@KorvinStarmast mechanically, sure. I needed something to look at for inspiration ;)

KorvinStarmast

02:56

@V2Blast oh, yeah. the core book (I got the pdf) provides a lot more meat. ;)

I am glad that I have a few weeks/months to get my brain around this. I am trying to make a little chart for the spell, song, battle cry synergies and relationships.

Powerdork

d20SRD (the website) really did a great job of giving gamers the term "SRD" and a really terrible job of explaining to them what an SRD is (with the site name)

KorvinStarmast

@V2Blast FWIW, I really like the distinction between perm and temp magic items. I like what they did there.

Ben

I feel like this might be a good place to ask for inspiration :P

At work, we need to come up with a list of "consequences" if we don't complete work on time, simply to act as an incentive to focus on our priorities.

So, simple things that are an inconvenience, rather than anything that might be a "reprimand".

So for example, we could say that if we don't complete a job on time, we have to help out at our local sporting club for a day, or something

nitsua60

03:41

Has someone with a Management Science background evaluated the likelihood that an employee will, rather, see the "inconvenience" is actually a simple cost to be paid? I.e. "I don't feel motivated to push for $thing, so I'll just spend Saturday at the soup kitchen (which is a good thing anyway)."

Ben

Well, the task still needs to be done, it's just doing it in time is part of the lesson - some people don't prioritize properly, or don't allow enough time. I foresee that this isn't going to be a permanent thing

It's only a small business too, (myself and two others) so we don't have to worry about Billy down in data entry

nitsua60

@Ben Oooh, three people. Then it's easy, no? It's who picks up the lunch tab.

=D

Ben

Was thinking that could be an option, which I'd be fine with. But we want a bit of a mix. We're going to "draw out of the hat".

And there are some times when people don't want takeout or have brought their own in, so that won;t work every time. Especially if someone has underestimated by 2 weeks XD

Q: Can characters Ready an action with the trigger "when the target stops benefiting from Dodge and before they use their action"?

I ran into a situation with ready action that I feel goes against the spirit of the game and maybe the rules but I'm unsure. I'm running a homebrew game. I made this Bladesinger NPC that I gave a magic item, so that when they took the Dodge action, they got more reactions. He challenged my play...

Joel Harmon

@nitsua60 I recall an article on charging parents who are late picking up their kids from daycare as an incentive to keep them on time so the staff could leave. Apparently, that scheme increased the frequency and duration of lateness, rather than reducing it.

BESW

A fine is a price.

Quantifying behaviour as a negative effect on the person doing the thing, rather than focusing on its negative effect on the community, makes it easier for the individual to justify their actions.

vicky_molokh- unsilence Monica

@JoelHarmon Because providing a bonus service and asking for a cost if you're doing it looks like a de facto transaction that 'for some reason' is presented under another name.

Joel Harmon

11:41

Basically, yeah, people stopped feeling bad for being late, because they were compensating for it.

vicky_molokh- unsilence Monica

@Ben I'm not so sure that it's safe to assume that all/majority of people tend to draw the distinction the way you described it.

@JoelHarmon It probably doesn't help if the compensation value is purely symbolic rather than something actually reflective of the amount of effort necessary to provide the unplanned service (which normally would come at a multiple-fold markup).

Joel Harmon

@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica Define "unplanned". It seems reasonable that you start expecting people to be late. I suppose it's also possible to start a sliding scale, rather than flat per minute. Anyway, it's just curious to me how disincentives switching from embarrassment to money changes things.

vicky_molokh- unsilence Monica

@JoelHarmon 'Outside the plan as mutually agreed-to by contract' is an okay start for unplanned.

Also, embarrassment, despite all of its ability to manipulate nice people, is not even a reliable means to curtailing such things. It just leads to less-nice people being the ones who keep coming for the 'free bonus', which in a way makes things worse for the ones providing the 'free bonus'. Example from personal experience: administrators in state schools.

Did any of you play a monk in 4e D&D? I am under the impression that it was a skirmisher/striker class, but as I did not play that edition, I cannot say with any confidence.

@V2Blast While I tip my cap to Matt Mercer and the team for making his setting popular, my gut reaction is "bloat, splat, power creep" ... but of course we see this in every edition eventually.

@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica Amen to all of that.

Powerdork

@KorvinStarmast It's very much "get in to dance between swords and land decisive strikes with mystical martial arts", yeah

KorvinStarmast

@Powerdork skirmisher or striker?

Powerdork

Skirmisher isn't a defined 4e class role, striker is; the monk is one by way of the other.

KorvinStarmast

OK, got it, Striker

Skirmisher is a monster type, though

@NautArch Yes you are :D The SRD contains content that's not in the core book, not sure where it's from and how official it is.

To not overbloat myself with content I'd prefer core book stuff only

NautArch

@kviiri is there a 'basic rules' that's free or do i need to purchase?

kviiri

I dunno, tbh. I do have a pdf, I'm not sure how sharing it goes, I need to check its license.

KorvinStarmast

13:09

@kviiri and @NautArch I have core book and 13 True Ways in pdf. (Lucky for me the Bard is core as is Half Elf, so I lucked out). (Hmm, there are 9 or 10 races, IIRC).

@kviiri OK, I have the "One Unique Thing" figured out. Since there isn't something mechanical, and I just had to have the book with Metallic Dragons (how is that not core!!!!) I went ahead and got the 13 True way volume to check out if Metallic Dragons can shift into human form. Yes, can be done, so the back story/one unique thing fits. Will send to you for review/approval later today.

kviiri

I might go seek out 13 True Ways too

KorvinStarmast

If the license allows me to share legally, I'll work with you on that. I can't get at it until later.

NautArch

The COmmander is what I was looking at the most

but i really just started

BESW

13:21

@kviiri I don't remember that particular ability. The Occultist "focuses" on their own turn, and then expends the focus to do things on other peoples' turns, justified as predicting or bending chance and fate around themselves by tapping into mind-melting awareness of reality.

kviiri

@BESW Ah, gotcha.

BESW

This was my Occultist.

One of the nifty setting flavor things about the Occultist, which is representative of what I appreciate about 13th Age's approach to lore overall, is that there can only ever be one Occultist in the entire world at any given time.

@KorvinStarmast when describing the Blackmoor monk, I wonder if it's worth giving the "monks had d4 hit dice" some context? Anyone who's played only in the last ~20 years would see that as shockingly low, where I see that and remember my first 0e "fighting man" having "just" a d6 hit die =)

KorvinStarmast

@nitsua60 will do. Tat that time, monks MUs and Thieves had d4's.

Two medium characters 120 and 180 pounds in weight both with strength scores 16 got the ball rolling.

So they can carry as much as one another in addition to their own weight. Which got the question of at what weight can one creature carry the other, but not the other way around.

Also, trying to write out some weight related puzzles in a way that will make solving them satisfying to some 5e players.

I really liked Sunless Citadel. (It, like most, is a room-for-room re-skin of the original.) ToH is... well, it's what it was designed to be.

Honestly, though, it wasn't very horrifying at the level it claims to be for.

I'd go as low as 9 or 10, IIRC.

Okay--got my FY19 taxes filed. Time for Congress to pass sweeping changes.

@NautArch Tomb of Horrors is, well, meant to be deadly. The others are doable, but you 'll have to decide how tactically savvy your players are. Our Tier 3 group almost finished giants (we are in the middle of going for the Fire Giant King in terms of prepping) and the DM hit burn out due to 4+ years of running D&D since the Elemental campaign began.

Himitsu_no_Yami

isn't ToH just an older version of ToA? If so I can attest to it's lethality

KorvinStarmast

@GcL I powerlifted in college, 148 pound weight class. When I worked with the moving company durint the summers, I had no trouble keeping up with the bigger guys. Not sure what your question is.

@Himitsu_no_Yami no

It's the original Character Killer Dungeon by Gygax, with a meta joke built into it.

MikeQ

Tomb of Annihilation is based on Tomb of Horrors - evidently some of the dungeon components are from ToH, but ToA includes other stuff like jungle exploration and misc sidequests. But Tales of the Yawning Portal has the actual Tomb of Horrors, converted directly to 5e.

Himitsu_no_Yami

KorvinStarmast

@Himitsu_no_Yami no.

All that is similar is the liche

Yawning Portal also has the Doomvault, an infamously crazy dungeon with 100(?) rooms

Himitsu_no_Yami

Is ToH more or less lethal than ToA? Cus I know ToA was a hellscape for my characters

MikeQ

ToH is literally designed to be lethal, it's very Gygaxian with many gotcha traps

GcL

@KorvinStarmast The 5e rules about encumbrance make for a situation where two characters of equal strength could carry themselves plus 80 pounds of gear. For the lower weight character, them plus gear is 200 lbs total. For the higher weight character it's 240 total. Discussion follows about the weights of medium sized creatures such that one can easily carry the other, but not the other way around.

@Himitsu_no_Yami 4 or 5 looks about right.

@Yuuki Like a big dragon wrapped around another dragon?

A double dragon?

@Yuuki You still have the beer, right?

@Yuuki It's a meal that you drink, and you don't have to blend any kale or protein powder into it.

As I walked into the store yesterday to get some Gatorade for Mrs S, I saw a man coming out with two cases of beer. I gave him a cheery smile and a thumbs up. Good Planning!

So DDB lists ToA as for "levels 1-11" but we made it to level 13 inside and it was still hell. I couldn't imagine doing the last fight at level 11 gods or no gods

MikeQ

Dunno. Could be the DM? Granted, our group never actually went into the dungeon, we just wandered the jungle. And talked our way out of several encounters. And formed a jazz band.

@MikeQ We could still jump in there at some point... depending on how the next week or two goes I could have a spring schedule very different from what I'd expected.

@Medix2 Wanted to say thanks for finding that question for me. I didn't think to search with that wording.

If you need to draw cards from a communal deck but don't want all of Roll20's features: deck.of.cards

Technical Grimoire has written a guide to Playing RPGs On Discord.

@Himitsu_no_Yami I only knew about it because I answered it XD

I find the tags resurrection and reincarnation to get confusing so I just check for wording most of the time

So my answer is now demonstrably wrong. Do I just delete it?

Someone_Evil

You can just update it (give due credit)

Axoren

@Medix2 Edit it for posterity or delete it if there's no way to keep it.

And both Pockets Full of Stars and Angels of the Railway Station are free for the next two weeks.

But there's another answer that mentions the correct answer so wouldnt updating mine just be rude?

Axoren

As Someone_Evil mentioned, give credit. Your answer was based on accurate knowledge before the release of a fairly recently released module

Medix2

Just seems like in "stealing" their answer and keeping the upvotes I only sort of should have

Alright, that's fair. I'll give credit where credit's due
