This image from the Brandon Sanderson shitposting sub made me think of you all 💜 it's somehow so applicable!

Who is responsible for paying the costs of a stay-at-home spouse in a plural living situation?

Who is responsible for paying the costs of a stay-at-home spouse in a plural living situation?

In a roommate situation: I say the spouse.

In a polycule: I say the partners.

But to what degree?

In this paper I propose three different ways of dividing expenses in a five-person polycule (which I term a T-graph)...

Okay, just kidding, I don't have a whitepaper about this (yet).

But imagine a situation like this one, with a cohabitating polycule:

Amber is the hinge between Beryl, Chrysoprase, and Diamond.

Beryl is also dating Emerald.

Amber doesn't have a job, and tries to do more of the housework to balance it out.

In this situation, how would you split expenses?

Edits to clarify:

  • Everyone has their own bedroom.
  • I am not involved in this situation (I would actually die; note my flair)
  • Really, I'm not asking for the Ultimate Correct Answer, but rather "how would you do the split, or how would you recommend your friends do it?"

Eureka vacuum cleaner from the 70s or 80s

I'm not sure exactly if this is BIFL-worthy, but it's had a great second career as the Basement Vacuum!

He did NOT

I just got to the part in Bands of Mourning where there's a newspaper ad by a B. Sablerfils and I am SCREAMING

And then I come here and find there are no cremposts about it? No search results return Sablerfils? For shame, cremlings!

Question about potions list from a 5e player

Hello new friends! I just purchased the Obojima potions deck box, with the idea of incorporating it into my own games (mostly D&D homebrews), and I was wondering if there was a list of the potions handy anywhere?

I know I could just manually type up the cards from the deck in order to count "which one is 21st on the list?" after the players craft it, but it seems like that has probably been done already...?

Is the list in the Obojima source book?

(I've seen the various Excel sheets and that's cool too, I'm just curious about a traditional printable table.)

Thanks!

Frogs vs Cats vs Field Hospitals

Frog (formerly rabbit) Militant Clearing: 2 frogs, 3 cats

Cats battle: 3-3

Both Frogs and the Enclave are removed, as well as two cats.

Cat player has no Frog cards in hand.

May the Cat player spend a Rabbit card for Field Hospital, since the Militant Enclave is now gone?

Or do all those things happen simultaneously and they could only have spent a Frog card?

Hireling tray?

I'm in the middle of a game, so I can't easily search for this on like Thingiverse.

Are there any trays that could be used to hold Hirelings as you pass them around the table?

Right now I'm just passing a teetering pile of ducklings balanced precariously on the Hireling card.

Ideally I'd print three of these and store them in the Hirelings box.

If you know a print of this, please share it!

Art imitates life, Outrage edition

In the mobile version, as the Woodland Alliance, I just initiated a battle against the Eyrie and lost both my warrior and my sympathy token...and successfully generated Outrage, even though I was the one who picked the fight.

This is such a well designed game. And slightly unnerving, given the recent nonsense with that violent streamer guy.

Belk's packaging: at your own risk?

What I found in the box, things that didn't break, and shards.
