That might have been me asking for it, but if you find a mod to that, please let me know! https://lemm.ee/comment/2161312

SFP is pretty straightforward. Most of the SFP modules you can buy you just connect and they work. For something like that, you would be doing fiber to ethernet hand off at a switch. Then you have pretty much everything run to the switch including router and just VLAN isolate. It's not super complicated, but if you never messed with VLANs it might be better to go with something pre-packaged unless you're up for learning.

You could also do a DIY router and run a multi-gig SFP+ network card over PCIe. You still have to purchase a separate SFP module for that, but that is another option.

There are some people who actually study probability patterns in randomness. That subjects beyond me, but a quick summary of what they usually say is that something like what you're describing or triplets or various other things are actually quite common and don't disprove randomness.

Just one example of a conversation like that: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1132058/why-does-randomness-exhibit-a-pattern-in-the-long-run

Because you've already expended your spell slots for that level.

I set up a backup cell connection to my cable internet connection. Sketchy Chinese 4G LTE modem. My router was a DIY job I set up off of Ubuntu Server. Everything ran to a Cisco switch and then was VLAN isolated. For the two WAN connections, I ran scripts from the router that periodically tried to reach out to several DNS providers and then average response rates to determine if the main connection was up. If not then it would modify default routes and push everything to the cell.

The cell connection had pretty low data cap, so it was just for backup and wasn't a home style plan. I used the old TTL modification trick to get it to pass data like a phone. When I moved the backup to 5G, TTL modification stopped working and I had to resort to creating tunnel interfaces to an actual phone. Since that tunnel is limited in bandwidth to the lowest value, my speeds were really cut in half.

I disagree with some of their assessment. Specifically the point that you really aren't given enough information to weigh out which decisions you go with and that is something problematic. Unknowns are pretty inherent with Dungeons and Dragons. In tabletop, you typically don't know what the outcome is going to be. You can only veer towards decisions you think will be a net positive and then hope you make your rolls.

With a couple of exceptions, no decision you make is really game over for you. It just changes how the story unfolds.

Gluttony might be an interesting idea. It's not necessarily necromantic, but the idea of using magic to force a person to eat until they cannot continue and literally rupture.

Or, and this probably sounds stupid, but you could have a modified form of the grease spell that's just wet noodles. I don't know if you've ever stepped/slipped on wet noodles, but it's disgusting and traumatic.

Before Baldur's Gate was a thing, I remember reading Homeland by RA Salvatore. It was 1994 and my sister gave it to be as a bday present. I couldn't put it down and it firmly cemented me into Dungeons & Dragons. I already had been playing some gold box games like Hillsfar, but that book got me seriously addicted.

I just read that in my mind in the narrator's voice.

 

Today I learned just how badass Stormlords are at rag dolling groups.

 

I'm currently slow going through BG3 with many different playthroughs (as you do when you can't decide on a player character). I've noticed that evil characters are locked out of what seems like the majority of companions though. Does anyone know the complete list of the companions available to evil characters are?

So far, I know the following are probably locked out:

  1. Minsc
  2. Jaheria
  3. Wyll
  4. Karlach
  5. Halsein

Evil gets Minthara, but is that it?

 

I'm tired of carving new burial chambers or adding to the existing mass grave and was thinking of recycling what I already have. The problem is those tombs are already in use.

Will my guys be cool with their friends and family returning to the earth via magma incinerators?
