Not sure if this pretty good video was linked already but I came across it for the first time and figured I'd link it :)

Ni to belittle what ryokos is doing but it's probably more complicated. Everyone in the chain is impacted. When the manufacturer needs work and money or would like to not be storing product it has been growing more and more common for them to work out a deal where they split the tarriff or eat...

He's not wrong in the possibility. You would need to define: * Where those goods are manufactured and potentially the origin country for any resources/parts used to produce them (ie some of the auto tarrifs make an easy example here). *Where those finished goods are warehoused *Where the...

Same basic situation, a more recent link was provided in post 95. Quoting that, "August 25 will be the last day it takes consignments, but premium delivery service DHL Express will not be affected by the suspension, the company added. It said private customers could continue to send gifts...

The refusal stuff like dhl refusing to ship business to consumer packages worth over 800$ was temporary and dhl already worked it out https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/20/business/dhl-global-shipments-us-suspension-intl-hnk...

I'm surprised that six pages in nobody has mentioned the importance of use cases in regards to shaping what the minimum needs are. A vttt chosen for online play and a vtt chosen for in person at the table play are going to have some overlap and even more wildly different "pfft that's totally...

Agreed but id go a bit further with intent. They are intended to be punitive to the process of manufacturing warehousing order packaging and shipping individual orders in overseas warehouses. I'm not sure if USTR (us trade relations) has the same or container specific rates on bulk imports...

Yes 200% decided while the playtest packets months ago. As to why I can summarize that by retelling something another player said to me while we were both players in a 5.25 game watching a third player engage in 3.5 spiked chain style shenanigans. The gm (not me) may or may not been running...

There was a bit of discussion & high level generalities about the rules for social/"negotiation" stuff earlier that skirted around getting too deep in specifics earlier in this (and the earlier) thread so I wanted to share this since I came across an SRD kinda equivalent that has them :D...

I have run games where one of the players was the host and it worked ok. That even made it easy for him to have us come check on his place when he took a work trip since he had someone he considered trustworthy enough to have a key. That game started at a nearby FLGS and he suggested the move...

Yea I was thinking more about the well trod metagaming social structure where the player with a job in sales or something gets to "roleplay" around the mechanics while the GM is expected to just kinda let them keep spinning the interaction. Having those mechanics when I ran it during some of...

Haven't finished reading the new PDF yet but Iirc NPCs also have a value for how patient they are. If you need to ask it counts against that

I ran some of the earlier packets at a nearby FLGS and we had a blast. Haven't had time to skim or read through the two books/PDFs that came out the other day but looking forward to making some time & saw this Also enjoyed listening to this at the gym this morning 😀

Since they came up... I think that the `gameplay benefits of those 3.5 ~750gp ~50 charge CLW wands were far superior to 5e's mundane 50gp trivially available healing potions sandwiched between the rations water skins & torches. Those wands offered both opportunity cost for wasteful use &...

I don't think so but maybe for different reasons than the ones Umbran mentioned. Most of the 5e campaigns I played or ran tended to fall into the 12-18 month range unless they were doomed groups that couldn't stick together in a shared hobby more than a couple sessions. The old surveys (afaik)...

Most of my games run into low to mid teens but I have very little doubt about that 7th level stat being reasonably accurate based on that experience. Level 7 is late in tier 2 of play, that's where the excess of over insulating tier1 of play without usefully supporting the kinds of gm stress...

I tried many things to make healing potions interesting treasure in 5e and could never fix the two pronged core of the problem in a way that brought back the "ok awesome, who should get that" vibes of base & greater healing potions in the past without descending into an adversarial quagmire. The...

I think that it's a more fundamental problem due to players entering the hobby in a way that encourages them to view any changes from the GM as some kind of BadWrongFun EvilKillerGM thing. going beyond the small example encouraging the GM that @James Gasik embedded a couple posts back, the...
