Yes. Source: Me. But I grew up in Montreal, so I’m biased.

So think of that group; they are all talented, they have fun, and are all smiles. Not them. Those are normal musically inclined people (probably, I don’t know them, I’m using them as an example).

Now take one of them, make them demand everyone they got to karaoke with sing, regardless of ability or comfort, pick songs for people who don’t get up, call people out via microphone onto stage, and then wonder why they don’t have friends. That’s hardcore karaoke people.

I went from going out to karaoke to buy rounds and cheer on friends to meeting three of these over enthusiastic malcontents and never wanting to go again.

I was once hit on by two 60+ men (i was in my 20s) who were very pushy at a karaoke bar and these karaoke people are still my worst memories of being at karaoke.

As someone who has been around “hardcore karaoke” people, I get it. If you’re bad at singing and know it, but people push you to do it, it can be frustrating.

The perfectly dash used to break out “demon” from demonstrating is impressive.

Did watch the new Deadpool, don’t remember this scene though.

I went down a rabbit hole on turkey 15 years ago when I was determined to never eat dry turkey again. Was a fun time, make it to this day for Thanksgiving, learned all the tricks, and still working on my gravy. Would recommend, good way to practice cooking fundamentals.

Speaking as a bit of an old fart (41), there are moments when you see younger people being romantic/optimistic in ways that remind you of your youth, and you “know” that it won’t last, because thats what happened to you.

So these two young people are planning their lives together, but they are young. They most likely will change as time goes on. Thus they will go through pain. I’m a totally diffent person then I was 20 years ago. There’s things I wish I could say to myself (change your major, don’t eat so much pizza, go get medication for anxiety).

But I can’t really do that to someone who is going through it. Best case they stop taking chances. Worst case, they tell you to fuck off and you can’t help them when they need it. So you let them be happy and think they’ll make it.

I mean, I’m still with my high school sweetheart, so maybe they will make it.

They’ve made 1 billion back of the 6, and expectations are 50 billion over 10 years. So if they don’t see a growing amount, sure, skepticism is fine, but these things take time and there is already some amount in the first year, which most wouldn’t have expected. I’d say be cautiously optimistic that there are results.

It’s nice, but it comes with micromanagement. They are like fleas, though the biting is more painful.

I mean, he’s a Tigger, not a Tiger, so that’s off.

Sounds like a good set of campaigns and some needed data, win win. When do we start?

Good points. Could you control for those factors? Granted thr room features one would be hard to do in an inexpensive way, so third parties may not be the option. Food for thought, thank you.

It’s interesting, I hope this research leads to a higher population to back it up. I mean, you could probably just reach out to different groups of people and pay for the snacks/connect them with a dm/supply the adventure and amp the population much higher.

I’ve debated adding them for one group I do, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s too much extra work for us, personally. I will ask them to roll, let them react with RP if it’s low, and not state the target (unless they are all rolling for something at once). They are good at rolling with the punches.

Yes, that would be a good use for a dedication feat, and then subsequent feats would add additional abilities. Now as for balancing, I’m still fairly new to 2e, so I should stop there.
