Thanks for the feedback!

My intent was to bring spell damage (especially cantrips) in line with melee attacks. These are the reasons that I feel that melee attacks are more effective than spells at low levels:

• They cost one action vs two
• They get Strength damage bonus
• Assurance with Athletics lets them circumvent MAP and trip is so effective
• There are many class feats that discount or eliminate the cost of a stride when you also attack.

My alternative was to nerf Electric Arc because other cantrips pale in comparison, but that didn’t feel like it would give players more options.

My own biggest critique of these house rules is that they make Clerics even better and they sure don’t need the help.

Not much, what’s UP with you?

Local vcs let’s you decouple saving progress (commit) from publishing your change (push).

This is a huge improvement over exclusive locks (old visual source safe) and shared server (like perforce).

There are many other improvements, but that is the one that had the most impact on my daily workflow.

I sound even more southern than I am because I say “y’all” frequently to avoid gendered pronouns. People, you, and we are often good. I think my favorite is “you folks”.

I’m having trouble figuring out the math for this. My assumptions lead me to divide $30b by 8b people, which is about $4/person. I’m not confident that people can eat on $4 for a year.

What am I getting wrong?

I agree, but this is the worst Haiku I’ve ever read.

I’m assuming that you have never lived in the rural South. The people who disproportionately suffer from the impact of the Civil War and reconstruction are poor and black.

I’m with you on hanging traitors, but a more devastated South would not have been good for anyone.

I don’t think that unions will help the game industry to the same degree that they help others.

There’s an endless supply of young people who are excited to make games. Oversupply means that the demand-side (employers) have the power advantage.

I left the game industry in 2010 (after 18 years) and it was the best career decision I’ve ever made.

I still get to work with amazing people on interesting problems AND I work sustainable hours and am compensated better.

Tommy. So much horror for a musical.

Paradox of Tolerance Philosopher Karl Popper described the paradox of tolerance as the seemingly counterintuitive idea that “in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.” Essentially, if a so-called tolerant society permits the existence of intolerant philosophies, it is no longer tolerant.
