HI EVENING CROWD~

What about the Peasant Railgun?

Ah yes, good old Peasant Railgun.

Basically, you get a bunch of peasants standing in line. Make it like a thousand of peasants. Each of them ready an action to pass an object to the one to their left once they have an object in their hands. The one standing at the farthest end of the line hands an object (say, a sword) to the one on the left.

Because readied actions just take place and take no time during the round, in the space of a single 6-second turn you get an object speeding to the farthest end of the line of peasants. That’s 5000 feet in 6 seconds from a standstill.

Now, according to real world physics we’d be talking about an object moving at such a great speed that it colliding with pretty much anything would pretty much obliterate that thing.

Unfortunately, the Peasant Railgun isn’t really a thing that works by the rules: even though real world physics dictate that an object moving at such a speed would also have enough force to destroy fucking everything, D&D 3.5 sadly doesn’t have any rules for the conservation of momentum. Therefore, the sword will reach the end of the line of a thousand peasants in 6 seconds, and once it reaches the end of the line the last peasant in line will throw it as ineffectually as they would any improvised throwing weapon.

Having said that, the Peasant Railgun still has its uses: it still allows for a form of extremely quick delivery and near-instant communication. Furthermore, given the right objects (or inputs, if you will) into the system, you could actually use an elaborate network of Peasant Railguns to make a machine of sorts that takes in objects and depending on the object put into the system does a certain number of operations with said objects, producing an output dependent on the object (or objects) fed into the system.

Yes, given enough time and effort (and peasants) you could use the theory behind the Peasant Railgun to make a computer.

you’d be better using animated skeletons. They won’t require feeding or bio-breaks. Necrocomputing!

[thydungeongal]

D&D 5e also allows for this tactic, due to the fact that the Ready action is still present in the game. Combined with the fact that Animate Dead no longer has a limit on the amount of skeletons you can have animated at a time means that the Skeleton Supercomputer is much easier to achieve.

That sounds like a hell of an idea for a campaign.

why’s there a huffington post photo set of homeless people being forced to read degrading venom written about them i genuinely do not understand the liberal impulse to induce trauma so they can feed off its effects

[theechrysalisamidst]

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

[thebirdroads]

We forced some homeless people to read horrible things written about the homeless. What happened next will surprise you, if you’re a fucking moron.

That fact that anyone working with food in America doesn’t have guaranteed paid sick days is a health hazard to the public.

[estradoll]

no but for real, the CDC has said the leading cause of foodborne illness is the lack of sick days for people who work in the food industry and that it costs billions a year to the economy.

So I wrote an essay of sorts about Dendy the other day, it has grey elephants, early videogame journalism, strange hacks and demented reenactments.

The title is stolen from Disney’s Dream Debased by the Fall. You can read the bizarre backstory here, although the idea of M.E.S. in Disneyland is bizarre enough.

imagine how much crime Batman wouldn’t have to fight if he used his incredible wealth to support struggling communities and address the deeper social issues under capitalism that lead to so much petty crime in the first place and even the crimes of many of his major villains.
