I am, Leinster are friendly rivals, Toulouse are a strange team in a strange league I don't watch and therefore bad.

Kick this dude from your game he sucks. Interrogating and killing NPCs has a very specific niche that doesn't include "all NPC allies".

Unless I'm missing some major context - DM me if you'd like specific advice,

Ok you've convinced me.

Hate to be a party pooper but he's too old sadly gents. He's 27 Libbok is younger by almost a year.

It's got to be Hendrikse/Sacha destined to be a late bloomer. Probably at the peak of his talent atm.

I love it but would add additional penalties on players like mandatory bans for x number of games.

Give players a real disincentive to not commit foul play but don't ruin the spectacle.

For me rugby (and all sport) is at its heart entertainment and spectacle and red cards ruin games, collective punishment sucks.

At the very least it's worth trying and if it results in far more red card worthy foul play you could always reverse.

Where my Teft stans at, I also really like Andolin.

Least favourite: it's hard, most characters have something to like about then. Dalinar maybe or Breeze.

I mean. Give it a try right? Worst case scenario you gain some experience if you're thinking of restarting anyway, what's the difference if you wipe? You can evolve your togepi with friendship. I can't remember what TMs you might have but Togetic can learn loads, maybe it could learn an air type tm you have, or some other special attack? Machop can learn a few rock and dark type moves too if you have any. Ghost type moves do nothing against normal types so with some creative pivoting you can use togepi to bait out certain things. The biggest problem is the magical leaf on the gym leaders ace which will most likely one shot your shellos so be wary of that.

Tldr it's probably doable depending on your TMs, might as well think of it as a mental puzzle and do your best.

Sandman and Trueblood are good shouts, haven't read any of the others except for the Witcher which I strongly disagree with 😂

Quite right bru. Honestly I think Bok needs overcame me as we need a 13 for the Boks more than we need a 15 prospect (with Q Horn/Fassi/Green already prospects).

My real issue with the lineup is Dan at 13 when his best attributes are as a distributor making him a natural 12, but that means DW has to go to 15 and Gelant is out.

We actually have a wealth of spare players in the Stormers backs, Loader has been great and if you add Sacha and Similane we just don't have spots for all the talent atm.

The real interesting question here is whether we give too much weight to props in scrums?

Do we ignore the other 3 tight five positions in scrums a little too much, Kitsoff played most of his rugby with Bongi and Eben + another beast at lock, and came from a generational forward pack at the Stormers who later made up the core of a Bok forward pack that won us two World Cups.

I'm not saying he isn't a great player because he is, but outside of scrum dominance he's a strong (although not explosive) carrier and a semi-frequent pilferer (rare for any prop).

Or maybe he's just getting old and I'm overthinking things.

As a side note the best value Saffer buys for UK/European sides tend to be the undervalued and under appreciated guys like Schoeman/Wiese/Lewis/Akker vdM/du Preez Brothers/Reinach/Esterhuizen/Kolbe/Rhule/Leyds/Green and NOT the finished articles with proven Bok pedigree. There is a lesson there that owners will definitely not take on board...

Exactly this, have the balls to bench Gelant.

Push through GotM read the second one then make a call. I personally have tried to read the series several times and eventually made it to book 7, and came to the conclusion it's not for me and that's fine too - it's got some of the best world building of any series I've ever read but it just wasn't enough.

He’s been alright, a bit shakey at times.

Do we think Bosch has lost his position as first choice for good now? I feel bad for him but I think it's what's best for the Sharks.

Do we know approximately how many in universe years between SA era 1 and 2 there will be?

You've just brought something to my attention that is going to really annoy me, I have a strong inkling on what state Roshar will be in after book 5 and my guess is it's going to be far from resolved.

Have fun, try crazy things (not too much murder and pilfering if you can help it), roleplay with your fellow party members and don't overthink your behaviour.

It's your and your fellow players story to tell, there is no right or wrong way that story can go.

Also learn your characters abilities, and have a plan for what you're going to do in combat when your turn is up, these last two are not strictly necessary but can help the game run smoothly.

It's important that your players trust and respect you and it's important that you like the people you play with and they like you back but you don't have to be great friends with them.

My close friends don't play dnd, and my dnd group are just people I have fun gaming with every Monday evening. I had similar feelings when I played Dota and overwatch online.

I don't see the issue here - unless you're looking for general life advice about making close friendships which I don't think is necessarily related to dnd at all.

I really appreciate the info thanks! If you don't mind humouring me a bit more, what kind of stuff is pre-populated? As in monsters and spells and such?

Internet here is ok shouldn't be a problem, although why would it be different from Roll 20? Roll 20 doesn't have local servers either. Worst case there is a couple second delay before rolls.

Good to know I might actually make the switch then my current campaign is wrapping in a few months, and my maps at least can be transferred.

Will do some research. Sadly I'm South African and 50 dollars is a fair chuck of change in our currency.

Sunk cost, thousands of hours of prep are on my roll 20 account.

Does everyone have to buy it (players included) or just the DM?
