The Bistromath from hitchhikers guide, best ship ever.

I would name mine something shitposty like Sink’r’Swim

My mother always said that if people bled from their eyes or had massive losses of weight it might work. Might.

I kind of see what she means, but I think they’d kill us all for the economy rather than shut down again.

Hello! So, I did a quick cursory glance of the hero kids system, but likely missed some things, so please reach out if you have any questions.

The easiest way to convert 5e modules to a 2d6 based system:

The lowest you can roll on 2d6 is a 2, and the highest a twelve. So, we convert 5e’s 1-20 numbers to fit that. (Ability modifier in parentheses)

2d6 stats vs 5e stats

2 (-5) = 0 and 1

3 (-4) = 2 and 3

4 (-3) = 4 and 5

5 (-2) = 6 and 7

6 (-1) = 8 and 9

7 (0) = 10 and 11

8 (+1) = 12 and 13

9 (+2) = 14 and 15

10 (+3) = 16 and 17

11 (+4) = 18 and 19

12 (+5) = 20

Example conversion: In 5e, an orc has an Armor Class of 13, Hit Points of 15, gets + 5 to its attack roll, and deals 9 damage on a hit.

In this 2d6 system, it’s armor would be 8 (need to roll above an 8 to harm it) hit points would be 9, gets +4 to its attack roll, and deals 6 damage on a hit.

Using these conversions, it should be pretty easy to add new monsters or bad guys from DnD 5e modules. There’s a few free ones on dndbeyond to look over that may help give ideas for quests! I highly recommend Frozen Sick.

James buchanan is up there too

My apologies! I did not mean to dictate how others should feel about their own lived experience and realize that’s fucked up. I’m leaving it for posterity, and also including the full comment made by OP that I was in part replying to:

Hi! I sort of came back here after seeing this post and a couple comments before it and just wanted to kind of speak to a bit of this.

“Was bi sexual who later became pan sexual after learning about the term”

I do not necessarily understand/agree with the way this is phrased. You didn’t become pansexual by learning about the term, you just discovered a definition that was personally more accurate to your understanding of your sexuality. Which is awesome! Like, I wouldn’t say I became bisexual by learning about the definition, ie I have always been attracted to more than one gender identity.

Shiri Eisner writes a book, “Bi: Notes for a Bisexual Revolution“ that talks a great deal about how we must have intersectionality, especially between Bi and Trans people. It reflects a lot of my disdain for people who claim to be bi but are trans-exclusionists. I recommend this book to a lot of queer friends, especially those who are bi/pan, because we should also have solidarity, celebrating our similarities and differences. Posting a link to an excerpt here: https://radicalbi.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/words-binary-and-biphobia-or-why-bi-is-binary-but-ftm-is-not/

As far as the acronym/etc, I refer to the “third chair” argument near the end of the link posted above. I’m familiar with LGBTQIA+, and I think TPAN is fantastic to use when referring to situations experienced by members of those communities, but not others within the queer community.

I support our trans comrades and I support you as well, my pan friend. ☭

“If you can take a designer handbag and resell it for 30% off online … the consumer has to be a little concerned about that,” Johnston said.

OH NO!!! Won’t somebody think of the designer handbag companies??? How am I supposed to show I’m not poor if my handbag is 30% cheaper elsewhere???

I’m more familiar with the subreddit than the actual test created in 2001. With that being said, generally Political Compass reinforces the views of in groups (neoliberalism, CenTRism, etc) while using the veneer of “oh, we can all shit on each others ideologies RESPECTABLY” to discourage actual discussions and tone police people who are rightfully upset with hate speech.

This went about as well as you’d think it did, with the sub reaching national headlines for somehow equating that gender politics = grooming, and the dog piling made many leftists leave. I haven’t been there in ages but I’d presume the people still using that site are now akin to astrologist/ Myers Briggs people who think they know everything about a person and their viewpoints based on some arbitrary questionnaire whose methods have never been published, and more importantly use that to avoid critical conversations and allow literal Nazi’s a seat at the debate table.

Sorry if this is an incomprehensible blur, I haven’t had coffee yet

Personally, the book Hardwired and movie Logan’s Run had the biggest effect on me. eXistenZ came close as well, and Neuromancer and it’s sequels are classics. As far as ttrpgs, Shadowrun and Cyberpunk have unique things to offer, but I continually find myself drawn to the “stranger in a strange land” trope perpetuated by the show Futurama and tabletop games like Metamorphosis Alpha and Journey to the Barrier Peaks.

Nah, I was really lazy when picking my name the first time I tried to learn mandarin, but I did keep it despite everything. Happy coincidence I’ve been Dong on most sites for a while now.

My only regret is that I wasn’t here sooner! I missed the CTH discord but now I’m glad to be back in the same boat
