Imagine the 100m dash at the Olympics. But for cars.
Just a short straight line. Head to head race, first one to the end wins.

That's not quite true afact.

There are 3 types of servers:

1. Personal data server (actually hosts your post)
2. Relay (aggregates posts from all PDSs, responsible for federation of PDSs)
3. App views (generates feeds from the relay)

Bluesky hosts the only relay I'm aware of, because relays are very expensive to host. But afaict anyone can host a relay.

So if we're to describe it:
PDSs are nations states
Relays are the federation of those nation states App views are like the ambassadors of the federation.

Except that PDSs can be part of multiple federations, and app views can be ambassadors for multiple federations. Ok not a great analogy.

Oh fuck, for free???
I love Subaru

Unless you're climbing a penis ladder

I love it

What about item damage?
Items have hit points, you can damage them... I'm assuming that counts?

Although idk if I'm ready to switch to the new rules mid-campaign

Let people like things

I imagine they're dual booting.

if they already have a copy of the OS anyways, I totally get it. If you have the resources to play the game you wanna play, any would you intentionally deprive yourself of that?

But yeah, bringing all that to the hospital is fuckin nuts. God I hope that his wife is a huge nerd too and that this was like a joke between them and he didn't actually use it during active labor or after the baby was born.

I really like that.

Although this is exactly what the familiar I'm trying to deal with is good at; I'll have to think of something that fits the campaign aesthetics and is also able to counter an invisible flying nuisance lol. Maybe they'll have to encounters more pact of the chain warlocks themselves lol

That is correct, and their imp is supposed to be quite powerful. But the resulting gameplay is kinda like stealth archer to the nth degree lol. I'm still trying figure out how to make it fun for both them while also giving the other players a fun experience and provide meaningful interesting challenges to the whole party

I don't want my encounters to be lethal, I don't like killing off PCs... But I do want the encounters to be a challenge.

I like your idea, but idk if I'm experienced enough to pull it off. Also I'm running a premade campaign right now so a lot of the encounters are pre-defined, at least in nature; I can tip the scales but I don't think I'm comfortable yet with changing how the encounters work.

Their familiar is an imp, so it gets invisibility as an action, so it doesn't cost them a spell slot or any spell uses. The familiar is basically always invisible and flying. I do need to pay more attention to how it's flying, though - it needs to be shape shifted into a raven, so polymorphing would break concentration, and raven flight isn't silent and cannot hover. Thanks for making me take a deeper look here. Edit: oh wait, imps can fly without shapeshifting
