Classic Tabletop D&D (3.5e mostly)
New players welcome, most especially our recent pony addition
Its always some level of nuts in this thread, and this moment does not disappoint.
All kinds of things have happened, the result of which is that with over a week passing in meat-space the party is still right where they left off at.
Tracy is venturing to the mountains with her floofy-faced, hutungous birbs in an oversided wagon, hoping to give them a chance to have a moment with their biological father.
Trump, for some reason, is quite butt-hurt by this. What? Its true,....
Thez is enjoying the first decent night's sleep in over a week, Infernius contemplates (((genocide))) (does it work in that context? I mean he's contemplating their genocide of course), and Torcuil learns that Death is a pretty cool chick with a morbid sense of humor in an absurd job that you wouldn't think is a job, but its literally a job. So yeah, next time he wants to hit her up, just blow ur brains out or something.
Last thread got to over 1800 posts <trumpet fanfare> but that shit is impossible on mobile and cumbersome at best otherwise so,....

It's ~15 degrees outside. The only method I have for freeing up frozen units of food (which is all of them) is by swinging a 10lbs dead-blow sledge at an awkward angle anywhere from 10-25x per unit. Today we ran ~ 40 units, so that's anywhere from 400-1000 swings. While doing other things.
I hate the winter.

It's 78 fucking degrees in my apartment, and has been for days (and most of 2018) because the apartment complex refuses to turn on the air conditioning system. Worse, it's above 70 and also raining outside, so opening windows does no good
I too, hate winter

>Terminal velocity
Terminal velocity only applies to falling objects though.
I figured i Tracy's running speed was 500 ft/round, and a round was 3 seconds, her full running speed should be 113.6364 mph.
Also, by those measurements, flying dragons are slow as fuck.

First off, a round is 6 seconds, not 3. For two, yes terminal velocity only applies to falling objects. Are you suggesting that there would be less friction and wind resistance if a person was running along a surface than there would be from free-fall?

Where the hell are you getting 500 ft a round? That's way the fuck out of all proportion. Your character's base speed is 40ft, which you should be grateful for because that is faster than any humonoid in the game

She has the Necklace of Adaption: projects a bubble of fresh air around her. Think of her body like a torpedo with a hydrophobic paint coating.

Her base speed is 40 (racial) + 10 (Pali-mount increase) = 50 ft/round
With her special horseshoes, her ground speed doubles, bringing it up to 100 ft/round.
With a full-round action, she can Run to move at up to five times her normal speed, bringing her speed up to 500 ft/round. If she's ahem spurred in action, her absolute maximum speed is 510 ft/round for a single turn.
Best mount.

Also, she can't go full speed in the first round. Best case, she can move at 3x her base movement rate in the first round, then 5x in the second.

But still, you're talking ~80ft/sec. which at 5280 f/mi is ~66 seconds/mile which is - as I said - about 60mph.

I'm using way less-precise calculations/results, but yeah its at about that speed.
Which is also very nearly the terminal velocity of a humanoid-sized object at freefall.

Okay then, Tracy, running faster than a cheetah, gallops towards Sparta, with Sparkle's head sticking out of the side pocket on her saddlebag having the time of his life.
Tl:dr I've crunchded many maths
About 5 months ago this is what I wanted to say, but that's cuz the Game seems to operate weird in recollection as far as time is concerned, the correct duration is 9 months ago, I went on a 2-day binge precisely calculating speeds, acceleration, free-fall, wind-resistance/friction, and a whole slough of D&D related expressions.
"In particular, he was calculating the amount of damage an adamantine (simulated - monk fist) object falling from 3/4 of a mile would do upon successfully striking an opponent!"
Yes. Those calculations led to further calculations, onioned by more calculations,.... What I came up with is that 65mph is an acceptable and reasonable speed limit, just because I don't want to have to get so autistic that I get nosebleeds trying to determine precisely what is what.
>>54783
Maybe with absolute reduction of wind-profile, but generally I'd put it at 85 TOPS

Movie would start in ~70 minutes
I’m going to try hinting the story I’m thinking up for Stix. hopefully it won’t suck, I never tried writing a story before
Stix stares into his small fire at the campsite, pondering all the events so far in this strange world. The crazy people, the interesting environments, but for some reason, his mind kept drifting to the fire trap he encountered when he first arrived. He wasn’t hurt by it, maybe a bit surprised, but that was nothing new considering being thrown into a new place with all kinds of characters telling you your dead.
But still, he couldn’t get the image of the fire out of his head. He tries to take his mind off of it by looking to the stars for a while. “I wonder if the constellations are different here? Let’s see... there is the Ursa Major and th-“
Was it getting warmer? Stix glances at his camp fire. It was still the same intensity. So why is it so hot all of a sudden? He gets up at takes a few steps back, but the heat is getting worse. In a panic, Stix throws dirt on the fire, but it won’t go out, in fact, it grows, seemingly in spite to the attempt to snuff it out. “I must be ill. It feels my body is roasting! And why can’t I put out the damn fire?” Almost in response, the fire creeps out of the pit which held it back and inches toward the increasingly frightened pony.
Stix attempts to flee, but is stopped before he can even finish turning around as the ground around him ignites to add to the blazing heat. He observes everything burst into flame. The path he traveled, the trees around him, and... even the sky! Had he gone mad? He didn’t ponder this for long as the inferno overtook him where he stood. He watched in horror as his forelegs were wrapped in a blue film for half a second before releasing the bright orange and yellow glow in a roar.
He screamed in pain and begged for it to stop, but to no avail. He looked forwards helplessly, believing these to be his last moments as he observed the ground slowly rise up, as if he was sinking where he stood. From among the tears streaming down his face as if trying to quench the blaze, he took note of something shining before him. As he looked closer to inspect it, a jewel seems to float toward him in a puddle of molten gold. All of his attention is now on this jewel as the world appears to fade to black around him. He watches it forms cracks under the extreme heat, spiderwebbing, until it shatters with a loud... CRACK!
Stix jumps at the sound, awaking from this nightmare drenched in sweat. He quickly realized he had fallen asleep next to the fire. Nearly in a blink of an eye, Stix throws heaps of dirt onto the fire and stomps it repetitively. He then runs back about thirty feet and curls up into a ball. Things are starting to become clearer, and he wished he hadn’t been trying to remember now. “S-so... that’s the way I... died?”
I know that wasn’t very good. Very heavy in cliché and such, but I felt I needed to try making the character a little more interesting.

How scary of a monster would a adult Timber Wolf be? Like a Brachyurus, only with the plant subtype? It'd definitely be a powerful and dangerous creature.

Anyway, what I was saying is that Idiocracy analyzes the dynamic of a "responsible" household working in the midst of a society that is ass-backward. I'd been contemplating the movie for several days, as I continue to attempt to understand how I might hope to positively influence those I interact with.

That’s nice, but I’m not sure how come the movie helps you in doing this. Maybe it shows you something you haven’t considered, but I think a movie can only teach you so much about helping to interact and influence people positively.
Oh, and sorry for not watching it with you, but the system is still giving me problems.

The point of the movie was that Not Sure was really just an average guy, but he did nothing with his life.
Part of the lesson was to get "average" people to at least try to make a difference in society. Everyday you hear people of every political affiliation complaining about how the people who run their governments are "idiots", without doing anything to to fix it themselves. All of the issues in the universe were really just basic problems that were collectively ignored by humanity because nobody cared enough to even think of trying to fix them.

Agreed, nominally. I for one find myself amongst "households" and "peers" who are more interested in buying the latest I-phone or putting rims on their car - to say the least - than planning for their children's future who they already have or hell, just cleaning their damn room.
