@rustedwirewitch it's only insane when you convert an entire blobby-army, and have "counts as" rules to make it tournament legal

A sane individual wouldn't be planning on converting and painting an undead Mr Blobby miniature. The heat has done strange things to us all.

@By_Ethan_Fox more likely, they'll make the right decision, then u-turn away from that...

@EffortlessFury @IronburrJones @GregoryEllner @OfficialRWBY I've been doing this for a while, but a 'strength' character gets half a feat and a few HP. A 'will' character gets an entire class core feature (spellcasting) _and_ some AP - it doesn't take deep knowledge to realise that one of these is a lot, lot better

@IronburrJones @GregoryEllner @MejiroW @OfficialRWBY If you can spot the issues with this without much consideration, you're so far embedded in the TTRPG scene that you can no longer see the starting line and somehow believe yourself to be far closer to it than you actually are.

@EffortlessFury @GregoryEllner @IronburrJones @OfficialRWBY So, 'aura points' are not 'aura'? That's _terrible_ terminology them, isn't it? And where in the show is 'I kill myself by aura use' a thing? Also, D&D also doesn't do narrative damage - it's all HP, delivered generally via combat, not just narrated/declared.

@MejiroW @GregoryEllner @IronburrJones @OfficialRWBY Aura is represented by D&D's HP. The game has no representation for your actual physical bodily health as it's basically a vulnerable meat sack at that point. The DM can subjectively narrate any damage you take while your aura is broken.

@EffortlessFury @GregoryEllner @IronburrJones @OfficialRWBY Except it doesn't-in show, people can't injure themselves by converting HP to aura, it's the other way around. Plus it's clearly not even been spellchecked, it's just a bit sloppy (health pool? health boxes? don't make up new terms!)

@MejiroW @GregoryEllner @IronburrJones @OfficialRWBY That's RWBY's lore. That's how healing and combat ability works in its world.

@EffortlessFury @GregoryEllner @IronburrJones @OfficialRWBY 'heavy armour and +D8 HP' or 'be a wizard' is clearly not an equal choice - one is obviously better. Being forced to long rest after dropping to 0HP or be terrible at combat, while removing healing, is also clearly dodgy design

@EffortlessFury @GregoryEllner @IronburrJones @OfficialRWBY If they're putting it out for public consumption, it should pass the initial sniff test of 'would this work without further patching' and this wouldn't. I already advised 'use Fate' as it's a lot better for loose, narrative systems.

@rustedwirewitch would all the stands be British bands?

These new Kill Team minis are so characterful that it'll just be nice to get 'em and paint 'em. Don't even have any urges to convert them into anything silly- Ah, shit...

@OfficialRWBY What's a 'Notary', as according to the class level summary, that's what's levelling up? Can you please run this through spellcheck and grammar check, and try and actually be consistent with capitalisation and terminology? It's a bit messy for anything 'official'

@EffortlessFury @IronburrJones @GregoryEllner @OfficialRWBY "Play Fate or a game that actually takes that sort of thing into account". D&D is a terrible fit for ad-hoc, freeform 'make some stuff up and hope it doesn't break the game' type stuff.

@IronburrJones @GregoryEllner @OfficialRWBY This. Everyone in the world has a relatively unique semblance. Some are more powerful than others. There's not really a way to codify that.

@Bkasparas @TimesRadio @AasmahMir @StigAbell @tnewtondunn @6 @46 @ICNARC @TheLancet thank you for providing some sourced numbers

@TimesRadio @AasmahMir @StigAbell @tnewtondunn @6 @46 The 46% fatality rate in #UK #ICU is based on the remarkable reports produced by @ICNARC - the 10-14 day timeline to death in #ICU after hospital admission is based on this screengrab from @TheLancet #Covid19UK

What levels of Covid are we going to see after July 19th? Tom Newton Dunn, chief political commentator, says he was told by ministers that "10,000 or so Covid hospitalizations" would be acceptable. @AasmahMir | @StigAbell | @tnewtondunn

@rustedwirewitch "unfortunate" "accidents", yes... 🥺

The only route to free and fair elections in this country is going to be to have every Tory meet with unfortunate power-tool-related accidents, isn't it?

@rustedwirewitch so... a militant glam rock band, then?

I love Emperor's Children gimmicks, and I love Word Bearers gimmicks. What I need to do is come up with a warband of hyper-religious Slaaneshi marines.

@Coinosphere @psantangeli @paulkrugman If it's changing in value that much over a year, it's a terrible go-to for regular use.

@psantangeli @paulkrugman There are dozens of countries whose local currency has failed them & has price drops like today's #Bitcoin price drop EVERY day. Are you telling me that a borderless, censorship-free currency that appreciates on average 200% yearly is a "dumb thing" for those people to use?

I don't write much about Bitcoin because there aren't any fundamentals to discuss. 1/

@_Sean_________ and the related costs, and time! mine was only 40 minutes each way, but that's still 7-8 hours a week, and about £1.5k a year. Physical meetings are nice, but so is a 30-second commute to the spare room ^_^

~ a #thread 👇 A startling estimate has caught the eye of economists: that London's population may have plunged by 700,000 during the pandemic. What do we know and will it spell trouble for the city's economy? @tomelleryrees takes a closer look telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/…

@rustedwirewitch Exodites?

My next 40k project, apparently.

@entropyfueled @questauthority @Popehat As a British fantasy fiction author, then yes, you should, and Biden won. There, now it's settled. ^_^

@questauthority @Popehat When we realize that British fantasy fiction authors are the real authorities we should look to when determining how best to administer the will of the American voters?
