Yeah, it's depressing how much of wasted potential the criterion dungeons are. They fill a nice niche of 4 player hard content and being generally somewhere between extreme and savage, but the fact that the rewards are garbage mean most raiders aren't ever going back in after their first clear solely for the experience. All content sorely needs rewards to bring people back in to keep it alive and criterion dungeons are doing the absolute worst of all content except maybe rival wings.

This is definitely interesting and I look forward to see how it plays.

At the same time, I remain slightly skeptical, as big brand name tie-in products often tend to be less than stellar. It takes a lot of effort, testing and polishing to put out at truly good TTRPG system and it's not easy even for big companies that are dedicated to the industry. I'd love to see this succeed and continue to get extra material in the future, but at same time I've seen one too many fail trying to do things like this.

Brings to mind the Dark Souls TTRPG book built on top of D&D 5e, which was a thick tome absolutely chock full of gorgeus art and just as full of baffling, contradictory and clearly not at all playtested rules. Such a shame.

People tend to not realize how often something is going to be happening with a one in twenty chance and that you are going to be rolling your basic attack roll a gazillion times per session. When you start rolling the dice, making attacks every turn, that is going to come up very often. In fact, statistically this rule would mean that your character would be carrying on average ~13½ arrows. By the time you've rolled 14 times it's more likely that there was at least one 1 in there than not. With multiple attacks per turn that's going to happen infuriatingly often.

The way a party is going to be adjusting to a backstabbing murderhobo is to throw them out of the party at the earliest convenience. It's the only realistic outcome. If you want your character to be a part of the party, it's your job to come up with a backstory and personality that makes them willing to work with the party, not the others'.

The reason all of this is skipped on a meta level is that most people want to get to the actual adventuring instead of trying to figure out one good reason why they'd ever keep someone's unique evil snowflake in tow.

If theres going to be a party then the players are responsible for coming up with a justification why their character would agree to work together with the rest of the party. I will always welcome even evil characters if and only if their player can actually show that they are capable of the necessary teamwork. The evil guy helping good guys begrudginly because they get something out of it is a classic trope and that's all fine.

Meanwhile, if your alignment is the classic Chaotic Stupid and you go full murderhobo and backstabber, why would the rest of the part ever tolerate that? They'll turn up face downwards in the nearest ditch and the player can try coming up with a new character that actually wants to be in the party.

Sure, but the equivalent here would be stealing the cars from your family. Just no.

The First two movies, Beginnings and Eternal are simply a slimmed down version of the original series. The third movie, Rebellion, is entirely new content, as is the upcoming movie. Thus, either:

• Original series > Rebellion > Walpurgisnacht: Rising
• Beginnings > Eternal > Rebellion > Walpurgisnacht: Rising

Will both work fine, though generally the series is recommended over the movies due to them having to cut out some scenes to save runtime. Or if you want and don't mind the repetition, you can always watch the series first and then all of the movies.

Magia Record series is a spinoff featuring a different main cast and can be watched any time after the original series/first two movies. It will most likely not be in any way mandatory watching before the upcoming movie.

Tiistaina puoliltapäivin Turun kaupunki kertoi Ylen saamassa tiedotteessa, että Raunistulan koulun vakaviin ongelmiin on löytynyt ratkaisu. Tiedotteen mukaan ratkaisun pitäisi rauhoittaa tilanne koulussa pysyvästi.

Olisi vain kiinnostavaa tietää että mikä tuo ratkaisu on, nimittäin onko kyseessä ratkaisu koulun mielestä vai ratkaisu myös kiusattujen ja heidän vanhempiensa mielestä. Onhan esim. KiVa-kouluakin pidetty "ratkaisuna" kiusaamiselle vaikka se todellisuudessa osoittautuikin pelkäksi käsienheilutteluksi.

Kuulostaa todella ikävältä kokemukselta, mutta ei nähtävästi niin ikävältä, että olisi alkanut rasismia vastustamaankaan. Varsinkin ajallisen yhteyden vuoksi tämä näyttäytyy nyt pelkältä krokotiilinkyyneliseltä sivujuonelta hallituksen irvokkaassa teatteriesityksessä. Näitä olisi kovin paljon helpompi ottaa tosissaan jos koko hallitus ei samaan aikaan rasismitiedonantoa antaessaan pidättelisi nauruaan ja käsi hakkaisi toistuvasti jaata rasistien luottamusäänestyksiin. Ikävää, mutta sitä saa mitä tilaa.

Tai ehkä tämä on vaan sellainen normaali kokoomuslainen "minulla oli kerran kurjaa joten kaikilla muillakin täytyy olla".

Hyvä aloite, mutta valitettavasti kuten kansalaisaloitteilla on tapana, etenee se eduskunnasta suoraan roskikseen, ainakin nykyisellä hallituskokoonpanolla.

Okay, explain to me why do you need rules for holding your breath in 5e.

Because water is generally everywhere and you might go in it? Surviving poisonous gases? Strangulation? If you wanted to point at rarely used rules there's a plethora of better options to pick. This is more like asking why do you need rules for combat.

Muistan että vuosia takaperin poliisin nettisivuilla luki ettei liikenteessä jaettavien sakkojen tarkoitus ole varainkeruu vaan toimia keppinä motivoimaan turvallisempaan liikennekäyttäytymiseen. Sittemmin tuollainen kuvaus on sivuilta ymmärrettävästi poistettu.

Mielestäni tällaista muutosta ei tulisi tehdä talousperusteisesti, vaan ainoastaan jos voidaan osoittaa positiivinen vaikutus liikenneturvallisuuteen. Muutenkin liikennevirhemaksu tuloihin suhteuttamattomana sakkona rankaisee lähinnä valmiiksi tiukassa taloustilanteessa olevia ja menee rikkailta ohi olankohautuksella, mikä toki on nykyisen hallituksen tavoitteiden kanssa linjassa.
