News on the earthquake insurance front: it's relatively inexpensive for me to get earthquake insurance to cover my own dwelling, but as part of the regulations of my HOA, members will be assessed for any common area damage that isn't covered by the HOA earthquake insurance policy... and since...

Yeah, Mercury is offering to give me $100,000 of dwelling coverage with a 15% deductible for a much more reasonable annual price (I believe this is CEA). I'm considering that just so I have something in case a once-in-a-couple-of-decades earthquake occurs that damages part of my house.

My HOA recently dropped earthquake insurance because the deductible was so high that there was no conceivable way to pay it out if we ever actually needed to use our coverage. I've been sent a letter with a recommendation on where to get my own earthquake coverage through a company that has...

She genuinely believes this stuff. She was on the episode of the Whatever podcast that also had Destiny on and while she didn't speak much, her views were consistent with her videos.

Embers Adrift is now buy-to-play, with an optional subscription for character slots, bank space, and some convenience stuff: They also introduced a feature in March that expands the level range at which players can group. I'm definitely going to make time to try out all the new stuff.

I absolutely blew it today with extremely sloppy plays. Went 1-3 and dropped. I might just go to Vegas for the Calling anyways.

Yeah I used to run Frost Fang and C&C for that but I'm focusing more on arcane damage effects like Encase and Icebind since people are running around with low AB.

EQ1's lore was lifted directly from a homebrew D&D campaign. There's quite a lot of obvious influences.

I got top 8 again on my Sunday RTN but lost again in the quarterfinals 🤬 I have a CF Uzuri and Riptide now at least, and one more opportunity to get my nats invite on Saturday.

Got top 8 at a RTN yesterday with Iyslander. Sadly lost in the quarterfinals so no invite. Trying again today!

The vampire stuff in BD was optional content I believe, that's why it might have seemed odd toward the end. There are sidequests that expand upon it further in BS.

It's a little weeby but still very good. The character relationships become much more clearly defined (I'd argue that their ambiguity in the first game is more stereotypical "weeby".)

BD is very good, Bravely Second is a masterpiece of the genre IMO. You do need to play Bravely Default first though or else you'll miss a lot of the story connections that make it so good. I think DQ9 is very good if you do multiplayer, but as a single player game I think it's just okay.

Someone should make a Gandalf Twitter account that just replies to transpeople posting pictures of themselves with "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

5,000 subs + merch sales being able to support your team is an amazing place to be at. If that's sustainable for them then this game will be amazing regardless of whether it explodes in popularity or not.

5.5% in 2022 😔

I might have been exaggerating but there absolutely will be money to be made if you can get your hands on the product. There's not going to be enough supply from the first print wave to satisfy demand.

Nah I will be hoarding anyways. Sorry kids (and weirdo adults who want to play a Disney card game), you will be putting my kids through college.

Counterpoint: It would be really annoying if you keep getting summoned every two minutes when you're trying to get other things done in the abyss.

How do people play Nourishing in Riptide? I don't understand the concept.

RTN events are up. I'll be attending three locally, maybe four depending on how things go. Flesh & Blood Events Locator

Daybreak doesn't invest, they just want to collect checks from maintenance mode titles.

Weird stuff going on in the IATSE unions. My union has been advised that we can decide for ourselves whether to honor picket lines or not, but if we join the lines, we can't wear any IATSE apparel or any apparel representing our local... and yet IATSE as an organization is posting stuff like...

This whole ORC license thing may somewhat solve the wokeism problem (or at least circumvent it) by giving any third party publisher carte blanche to use the game rules for whatever narrative elements they want. It's not revocable so Paizo can't stop anything made using the rules.

I can set it to 80:08 but that's the best I can do.

No, you choose your stats. You start with base 10 in every ability (with some ancestries starting with 8 or 12 in certain abilities) then you apply ability "boosts" to choose what you want your character to be good at/bad at. It's like a simplified version of point-buy. Each boost increases a...

It's legitimately the best fantasy TTRPG on the market (2nd edition is, anyways). Just stick to homebrew if you want to avoid the wokeism.

Calm down there Admiral Autism. You will still have stats that objectively show that your character is stronger, faster, or smarter than someone else's. They will just be represented as "+2" instead of "14 | +2". The scores themselves are totally redundant and only confuse new players. (I teach...

Just FYI: aside from the promos, there won't be a "first edition." However, there will likely be some printing differences between the first printing of the set and later printings due to printing errors, as there are with every new card game. Personally, I'm going in for four master cases (16...

Paizo announced today Pathfinder 2e Remastered: a reprinting of the core books that additionally includes some of the most popular character options from supplemental releases as well as lots of errata and some functional system changes (such as the removal of alignment). These books will be...

I will be buying lots of the first set of this product and sitting on it for years because you just know a collectible Disney TCG is gonna be nuts.

Lmao, Dreww will never get perma'd, he constitutes 30% of all lulz on these servers. I'd play but I'm just too busy right now. Go ambush some noobs in BB for me!

Azalea doesn't seem great in blitz because she needs to take damage in order to pivot into her insane offensives. Riptide's traps seem like they can help with that.

Basically what happened is that the hotspot he took wasn't getting enough speed so he tried to get Verizon to work with his phone as a hotspot but that didn't work either. The venue wants $2,000 to give him a dedicated line to stream from, or $200 to piggyback off of SCG (the event host)...

Your Riptide sounds epic bro, I haven't even seen anyone play him in CC yet

Starting up armories at a new store tonight! They have about five months of promos on backstock so we're gonna do super armories for a bit, should be cash

Like Grabbit said, Pathfinder 1e is really D&D 3.75 and is an absolute mess of nonsene mechanics and balance issues galore. Pathfinder 2e is an actually decent game that maintains the "feel" of D&D while offering orders of magnitudes of customization options that facilitate unique playstyles...

Seems decent but doesn't do much for my Wizards unfortunately. Since d-reacts are becoming more popular I'm switching back to more of an arcane build on Iyslander. I'm still packing E-Strike and maybe a couple poppers in the side but I think arcane is more favored in the current meta than...

Paizo is 150% woke but the difference is that they don't allow it to affect game mechanics. All mention of "race" was removed from PF2 but the mechanic wasn't, it's just called "ancestry" now. (This wasn't entirely for a woke reason though, it also fits with their character building...
