Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:

• sequence number of the test
• temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
• method of ice cube creation
• volume of the ice cube
• volume of water/ice mixture
• depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
• type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
• did the ice cube sink
• if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

please also share your conclusion.

Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.

German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.

The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.

Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

You don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.

I will never get to 20, yay!

Psst, are you sleeping?

I had no clue until I remembered this

Hokkaido is also a type of ice cream. Apparently available elsewhere, too. The rest of the text is chinese (at least, deepl recognizes it as such)

It was not that long ago when Android changed my on screen keyboard to a different layout whenever I was in a different country. Really annoying - I don’t suddenly type in Danish when I’m on a business trip to Lyngby (near Copenhagen)

Middle name is not a thing where I live. People can have 1 or more given names (I know of people that have 9), but none of these are considered ‘middle name’.

The 2024 spell ends immediately if you deal any damage. So, also item damage.

5e RAW, they remain invisible. However, using the tinderbox will make noise so enemies will likely notice that.

In the 2024 rules, dealing damage (even if not by attacking) causes invisibility to end.

NOTE: both versions of the rules (see the oil item description) state that in this scenario, an enemy only takes damage if it enters or ends its turn in the oiled space. Starting their turn in the burning oil does not cause damage, so just moving out of the space will prevent the damage. The lighting of the oil also does not cause immediate damage

Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

So far, I’ve played three sessions with three different groups. Haven’t run into big issues yet. Next session I will be using monsters from the new MM. I’m curious to see how the balancing turns out.

I’ve run ‘Sarah…’ as a oneshot too, and even though I got the pacing totally wrong the first time, I agree that it is a good one; I will definitely run it again .

I have a new party of three absolute beginners lined up for next saturday. I forgot the snails in the adventure though 🤔

(assuming 5e or newer) You can’t true polymorph into Tiamat. The ‘aspect of Tiamat’ from Fizban’s is already CR 30, Tiamat herself is unstatted but obviously more powerful.

As a player character, you can only True Polymorph to a creature of CR 20 or lower

totally unrelated time in the screenshot, I’m sure

I use https://owlbear.rodeo/ for that. It allows you to cast your map to a 2nd screen in player mode, while you can still see the full picture. It has ‘fog’ to hide areas from the players and supports zooming in on each screen separately, or you can sync zoom&view (manually or continuously) from your dm screen

No. Read this.
