    @recursive_recursion@piefed.ca said in Roll for combat's (and others) distributor has gone bankrupt, and is liquidating their stock and keeping the money: How is this possible??? Because despite the fact that they were operating as if they were selling the books on consignment, they were apparently doing business on credit on paper. It’s dirty dealing. Which I’m sure didn’t stop them from sending unsold books back to the publisher any time it was convenient for them, or failing to pay them in a manner that reflects credit-based purchases. They set up a system where it was heads they win, tails you lose.

    The problem is more than just OSR, for some reason there is an expectation that NPC do not cure about living, and would fight no matter what. Fleeing, surrendering, is what would happen if you want realistic fights. In most games I play (but no OSR) I ask for an endurance (whatever how it’s called) roll when PC or NPC took enough injuries to be in the malus, it makes sense to fall unconscious at a point, let the PC take prisoner, and act as a safety breaker to not kill a PC stupidly as they’re unconscious long before dying

    I linked to an article on EN World that has links to other sites. There is no store or checking out to be done on EN World itself.

    On a scale of 0 (no clue what they are doing) to 10 (there is a master plan with a hundred steps), how strategic is Critical Role? My guess would be around 3. This is mostly „seems like a cool idea, let’s do it“ without much of a plan.

    It is not expected that everyone has a PHB, but it is expected that you know what your character can do and I am not having to keep reminding you of your abilities. And the last time I let someone use my PHB they tore a page, so that is not going to happen any longer.

    There are lots of places that will print for you (eg https://www.shapeways.com/), but it’s cheaper and easier than ever to print your own right now! You can get a cheapo chinese printer for a hundred bucks, or an excellent Bambu for $250 (https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini) Then you feed your model into something called a Slicer which will let you adjust all those parameters to your heart’s content (Flashprint is beginner friendly, Cura or Orcaslicer are more advanced options, all free) You’ll also need a roll of filament ($13-$20 for one roll, enough to print hundreds of minis) and then you just hit start and see how it goes! If your print fails, nbd, it’s like a fraction of a cent of plastic, just tweak and try again! The material you want to use is called PLA, it’s cheap and easy to work with. Note that all the above prices are in USD, it’s likely more expensive to get shipped to Australia, but a lot of it comes straight from China so you never know. Feel free to message me with any questions or troubleshooting help
