  • A Guide To Flags With Hearts

    Jump

  • The flag from the thumbnail is that of Fryslân, nowadays a Dutch province.

    It does not show hearts! The red parts are 'pompeblêden' (leaf of the water lily), and should specifically not be heart shaped according to the official instruction for creating the flag.

  • Indian humans who own cats - Does your cat communicate to you with headbobbles?

    Jump

  • Not indian, but yes, one of our cats does use head movements to express her .... requests

  • When you've played with too many wizards

    Jump

  • I have used both types of distance calculation in different campaigns. I agree that the 'alternating' rule is better, but I've also seen that it confuses some players and in that case slows down combat.

    I'm currently using the phb rule. My players have just gained access to fireball and similar AoE spells, and I use the actual circular spell effects

    So far I have not seen the players actively abusing this, so for now I'm just ignoring the weird distance effects

  • When you've played with too many wizards

    Jump

  • Mathematically, a circle is defined by all points that have the same distance to the center point. In d&d on a grid, distances are measured in 5ft squares, where a diagonal distance is the same as an orthogonal distance. This results in mathematical circles being square on a 5e/5.5e d&d grid

    so, one fireball, having a mathematical 20 ft radius, can completely fill a square room of 40x40 ft.

    Yes I know the book has a circular template for spell effects. However, using that on a grid has the weird effect that a target can be in a place that is 20 ft removed from the center (diagonally) but at the same time not be in the area of effect of a fireball cast on that center point

  • I can't believe I'm seeing this again some 11 years later.

  • What kind of GM are you?

    Jump

  • "Are you the only one in your group who GMs?"

    I am in 3 groups, in 2 of them I am GM. From these 2, in one I'm the only GM; in the other there are 3 GM's.

    A bit hard to answer questions like this on a 5 point scale.

  • Dual Wielding [Dungeons & Dragons]

    Jump

  • That is true, for the 2014 (5e) version

    The 2024 / 5.5e version rules no longer have the "two-weapon fighting" subsection - the rule is now merged into the description of the 'light' weapon property

  • Dual Wielding [Dungeons & Dragons]

    Jump

  • Not completely right

    (5.5e) Two-weapon fighting is a Fighting Style that only some classes can get.

    Dual Wielder is a general Feat that any character of level 4 with str or dex 13 or higher can take.

    Anyone can dual wield when their main weapon has the Light property.

  • European country vows to give homeowners ‘free electricity' instead of switching off wind turbines

    Jump

  • “Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.”

    Wow. That's such a brilliant new idea –except that across the North Sea this has been possible for several years now. A so called 'dynamic contract' prices electricity based on supply and demand, which changes every hour. Sometimes you pay more than the 'flat rate', but also sometimes you even get paid for using electricity.

  • New ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie From Stephen Colbert and His Son in Development at Warner Bros.

    Jump

  • Apparently covering from the sale of Bag End, through Crickhollow, the Old Forest–meeting Tom Bombadil–to the Barrow Downs.

    I expect this could be an interesting movie, I have missed these parts. They are less directly connected to the story of the ring (except where the Nazgûl appear), but I think it adds to the understanding of the background events occurring at that time in Middle Earth.

  • Is the new 200€ bill that common?

  • Yoko Tsuno rides a Dutch Helicopter

    Jump

  • Why is this a Dutch helicopter?

    The registration does not start with PH (seems like a B or G ? Can't see it properly) and I think it's an Alouette III, which is made in France.

    Also, Yoko Tsuno is a Belgian series.

  • DndBeyond will now use "5.5e" as version label

    Jump

  • Nitpicky, but 2 out of 3 core rulebooks of the 2024 version were released in 2024, not just one.

    Using year labeling of your product is generally a bad idea, imho, because it makes it appear outdated really quick.

  • Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

    Jump

  • So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

  • Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

    Jump

  • Because it is a word, or it's easier to say, or funnier.

    It's definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) 'fudney' for FDNY

    What it 'actually' is does not matter.

    It's ICE, as in: cold as
