OK, that’s adorable but in .22 it’s useless
I’ll tell you what the guy that taught me used to say, " 22 or 50, no one laughs at being held at gunpoint. "
Stopping power is, for the most part a myth. I love 22 because if cheap, it’s light, and the guns feel nicer in my hand. My bud uses 9mm glocks because he describes them as the “iPhone of guns” you do you boo, just make sure your Deringer has a trigger guard, that’s just good safety.
Remember gang, if your ID has an l, g, b, t, or q on it you qualify as desperately in need of guns.
Someone’s gotta do the legolas and gimly meme for this
I suppose that’d be easier than free climbing with two rods, though you wouldn’t really need the full ladder for it.
We played it as the rogue would destroy the box in returning to normal size, but they take damage equal to the boxes health before it explodes.
My favorite situations were her getting trapped in a floor safe for an entire fight because the bandit immediately locked up the pretty stone, her erupting out of the pocket of a maid being interrogated for stealing from the Lord, and her exploding from a coin purse on a Duke nearly a county over because the he picked her up while leaving the bank instead of while entering.
That’s an idea, but the rods had 4 rungs between them that were just wood so they were about 6ft apart. They had used it by setting the bottom, having someone tall put the middle at full length away, then have that person climb up and balance on the top rung to then set the next one at full length. It often led to hilarious critical fails on the balance checks.
I’m genuinely surprised no one thought to hold them in place with a 10ft pole, that’s d&d 101 right there.
Here’s few of my goofy items over the years.
Lantern of in-sight: causes any object or entity you’re aware of and can keep a direct line of sight on to glow as bright as a non magical lantern. The lantern itself does not produce light. Had a player use it to highlight someone hiding in a crowd when the party failed to see them.
Jewel of Becoming: when activated the player became a gemstone for 1d6 hours. The rogue ended up exploiting this heavily by becoming a jewel and either having another player sell her or just being in the path of someone. Once she turned back she’d rob them blind and sneak out back to the party.
Immovable ladder: it was a rope ladder but the rungs in the middle and either end were immovable rods. This one the artificer cobbled together in game and I allowed for it. They spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to use it for more than a reliable way down from a second floor but never did manage anything wild. They couldn’t even really use it to go up because someone would still and go climb up there to set the top rod.
Maxwell’s Morning Tonic: a bitter, dark, and slightly oily potion that when drank, counts as a short rest or turns a short rest into a long rest. It also gives you a -1d6 to hit and sleight of hand. It’s just a strong coffee.
Split the difference, spend as much of your time on the clock job hunting and doing the bare minimum. Then quit without notice mid shift for the new job.
Damn, I didn’t know America was contagious…
The other day I started a she called Where the Water Tastes Like Wine. You lose a hand of cards to a Wolfman and he turns you into a hobo skeleton tasked with traveling the US to spread folktales. The wolf is voiced by Sting, the whole game pays homage to an idealized peak of Americana, and I’ve never had to decide what button to map “hitchhike” to before.
Creativity is alive and well, flourishing even. This guy is just blaming others for the problems he brings to the table.
I got one of their phones back in 2016 maybe? The screen was cheap as shit but for $50 the specs blew most things out of the water.
I switched to DDG right after Google added the ai answers to search and in baffled by how fast DDG seemed to go down hill. Just a few months ago it was still giving me on point results on the first try, now it almost feels like I’m using one of those malware search bars from back in the day.
All but one has passed and the one remaining is kind if rocky now that my parents have poisoned the relationship with talk of hope manipulative and toxic my partner is for enforcing such awful things like limited screen time and bathing regularly to my child.
Pan pizza, marinara sauce, half mozzarella, half Provolone.
Pepperoni, jalapeno, mushrooms, olives, chives, and pineapple.
Pepperoni on top so it crisps on the bake, garlic and basil on the crust.
Now you must propagate dark and horrible legends about it!
I have a billiard break cue, it’s hollow steel pipe with brass and galvanized fittings to screw it together. Based off the material, original colors, and general look it’s probably from the early 70’s.
Without fail, if a drunk person finds out it’s hollow they get super weird about it. They hand it back like it’s a writhing appendage, avoid using it when offered, even had a guy drop it like it was gonna bite him. Either way, I play better with it than I ever did before, and I gave it a gorgeous glossy crimson repaint.
That’s exactly my taste! I’ll take it if you ever wanna her rid of it!
In the aughts, pirates bay felt like the library of Congress. If a single commenter on a B tier forum saw it in a guy’s basement in the mid 80’s there was a sure bet at least 3 people were seeding it and one of them had great upload. If it wasn’t there, you had a dozen different sites with their own dedicated fans posting everything you could ever want.
Now it’s maybe 6 sites, they all have the exact same listings, and the only things with seeds came out in the last year of two. It’s like seeing your local library after a fire.
Know where you are. Any trouble you get in gets so much worse when you’re lost.
Trust your gut. If you don’t feel right about something it’s better to be safe then sorry.
Bar tenders and gas stations. If you need someone to help you, that’s the best two options.
I went to catch a falling board with my foot, turned out to be a plow blade. I still don’t understand how it didn’t shatter the bones in my toes.
