this makes me wonder how much longer a towel could be used if it were promptly dried after use, rather than put up on a hook where some of it dries sorta and the rest of it clumps.

even when you are clean from showering, you are still covered in delicious skin, refreshing moisture, and things that thrive in the presence of both.

prices will be raised regardless. record profits? raise prices. record growth? raise prices. cost of production goes down? raise prices.

This is really a both-sides situation.

Hamas isn’t Palestine. Israeli gov isn’t Israel.

When you make simple distinctions like this, things get less complicated.

Also coming here from all. I had no idea any of the things you said were features of flashlights. Maybe a useful question for me to ask could be: what got you into flashlights as a ‘thing’? Also, do you feel you have a sense of what trades and hobbies mostly comprise this flashlight community?

Lastly, in your estimation is there a reason for an average flashlight user to make the jump from $10 flashlights that are bright enough for them to find their dog’s poo in the dark, to a $50 flashlight like those in this post?

This is coming from a slightly incredulous place, but I’m also trying to mentally pivot from incredulity to curiosity. I hope my tone hasn’t been abrasive.

Better still, use passive scores since this is what they’re for. If you want your players to make active checks, give them a narrative reason.

But I’m also of the opinion that the more you run your D&D like you’d run anything Powered by the Apocalypse, the better it becomes.

Why the hell should i do that?

Read any chapter of history, particularly in the last several hundred years, and you’ll find no end of answers to this question.
