What a strangely aggressive take. The old testament in Christianity is more equivalent to the Tanakh in Judaism, of which the Torah is a part. The film tells the story of one of the highest of high holidays in all of Judaism, so it does make sense to call it a Jewish movie first and foremost.
After all calling a Christmas movie Jewish just because Jesus was a Jew would be silly.
What I don't understand is my company set things up to give everyone an alert every time they're sending something to a non company domain. Why aren't there any protections like this in place?
If we're less than 3 players, she'll play as an NPC as well. A lot of the times when it's just us, we'll either do a super balls to the walls session 0 character creation, or we'll basically play test some of her campaign ideas as 2 players. Most of the time it ends up being much less structured, so more wiggle room to poke holes in plans, so it ends up being great practice for both of us.
Had a great session on Saturday! My partner is a DM so we play mini oneshots together quite often. This time, we invited 2 friends who'd never ever played, so she cooked up a quick 2 hour game to basically teach them the absolute basics of how to play. It included some cool character building, a scary but secretly nonlethal encounter against a cockatrice (aka demon chicken), and a great resolution with a bit of a cliffhanger ending. Of course they did all the heavy lifting while my nat 1s meant I hurt myself more than the enemy...
I think they actually really enjoyed it, and now we're talking about setting up a semi regular time in order to turn it into more of a campaign!
I'm hybrid and I only go into the office once a week, though I live near the downtown area. We have (compared to the rest of the US) a fairly robust public transit system, a bustling tourism industry, and I think around 100 universities with the students that entails. Between students, tourists, and the extremely wealthy, I don't see our downtown slowing down anytime soon.
I've noticed that storefronts are cycling through more frequently than they did in the past, but empty storefronts are very quick to get rented back out. Rents are definitely unaffordable, but I've noticed that for people who actually live here, many are willing to live a little further out and take public transit in to experience downtown outside of needing to be here for work.
Disclosure that this last point definitely doesn't apply to me, but I'm also seeing a lot of people who actually go out of their way to go into the office now. With roommate situations and tiny apartments, I'm hearing more and more about people who are hybrid or fully remote, but actually enjoy a big working space with what might actually be more peace and quiet than they'd find at home.
I've never felt so called out in my life
Welcome!
We just finished up a short dungeon crawl with myself (ranger), a fighter, and the DM NPC (Bard), all lvl 7.
To preface this, my luck had been kinda shitty during a ton of rolls so far. We'd gotten the treasure, made it out of the dungeon, when suddenly the Bard casts Feign Death on the fighter (who had the bulk of it), grabs the treasure and runs. My horrible perception role means I think she actually just killed my best friend. So I get off my hunters mark and, in a moment driven by pure revenge, proceed to deal ~70 points of damage by making the best roles of my entire life. After confirming that my best friend is dead through another horrible roll, I deal a devastating finishing blow, grab him and the treasure, and sneak off with the intention of giving him a proper funeral. Of course he wakes an hour later and the DM is gobsmacked that I somehow downed her in a single turn.
This is my third time ever playing DND and the first time I haven't died. I think I'm satisfied with how it went haha
Honestly that's why I chose an instance that federates with both. There's no need to choose only between lemmy.world or beehaw.
Liftoff defaults to "All" as opposed to All@[Your Instance]. This is very specific to liftoff and isn't a part of other apps. Just click and select the second one from the drop-down and it'll stop giving you that message.
I'm ace/homoromantic.
Thankfully I live in a pretty queer friendly area. I never technically came out, I just brought my GF with me to Thanksgiving one year. I absolutely gave my parents a heads up, but my personal philosophy is that if I wouldn't have to come out if I was straight, I shouldn't have to come out just because I'm gay. Thankfully my parents stopped inviting the problematic parts of my family years ago, so everything went super well. I'm effectively out to everyone generally in my day to day life.
My being ace though is nobody's business except for my GF and tends to not come up in conversation lol
They end up mostly being Holocaust movies for obvious reasons, but my personal favs are The Pianist and Fiddler.
