So Matt Pocock says models typically are smartest in the first 140k tokens. Hes using the big boy cloud models tho. Does that hold true for 27b-35b range? Or is it smaller and how much?
What would the ‘smart range’ be for tiny models that fit in 2gb? Would be it be like a sentence or two? I have an old 1050 was thinking of throwing in rig but im not sure what id even be able to do with such a small model
Dungeons & Dragons (commonly abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) originally created and designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson -wikipedia
Typically the game is played in person around a table with friends and snacks! But I'm anti social and struggle with anxiety. I haven't been able to find a dnd group near me and I'm too chickenshit to invite rando's into my house to play with hence I made this community! But I also really want to learn how to be a Dungeon Master (DM) so hope this works. So far this format seems to be a bit awkward but functional!
Anyway, the DM is the referee and will decide the outcomes of players actions along with dice rolls. Typically
Rules and how to play are described in the Players Hand Book (PHB). There are two additional books but those are typically used by DMs - the aptly named Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG) and the Monster Manual (MM)
The rule of cool: the cooler it sounds the more likely your DM is to allow it
Creating a character is really easy and streamlined now a days. It can be as simple or in-depth as you'd like! The player handbook gives a lot of guidance and you can even just roll dice and pick stuff from tables if you don't want to think or have totally randomized character. There are lots of places online you go to create characters. DnDBeyond is pretty good spot but does require account creation apparently (can always just screenshot your choices instead of creating account). If anyone knows good dnd character creator that doesn't require an account please link!
Note: When creating your own background story be sure to confide with your DM so that they can direct you if elements clash with the world. Also it gives the DM a chance to work your backstory into the world deepening the adventure!
If you want something authentic sounding try searching a name generator online including the race you choose. But ultimately you can pick any name you want.
You could even go partial or full on homebrew (make up your own) but you'll have to work with your DM to make sure it's ok and so everyone understands the rules, abilities, etc.
Note: Many of these classes, races, and backgrounds have variants and options that will have different bonuses -see the PHB for details
(if able) Be sure to include a link to your character sheet
Tip! Creating a loner character is a bit antithetical to role playing games. Try using a stereotypical hero personality. It'll be easier to know what a hero would do in most situations for beginner roleplay.
If anyone has ideas I'm all ears. I'll probably throw something together just to get the space filled but would love if someone could make something to fit better!
A small village sits nestled into a low valley. A number of small houses dot the area with chimney's of white smoke. The main thoroughfare, The Kings Road, cuts through the middle of the town going east to west. A large well kept cottage overlooks the town from the south. This is the lord's manor. The local tavern and inn, Hogswash, sits in the center of town just off the road. Small stables with a few pack animals milling about inside stands nearby. Across the well worn dirt road sits another large building, this is the local blacksmith who works tirelessly day an night.
The village is mostly surrounded by rolling hills. To the northeast a large forest encroaches on the fields near the edge of town. A small path leads off into the forest. Southwards the hills grow and grow eventually turning into mountains far off into the distance. East the Kings road meanders lazily through rolling hills and grassland. Some boulders and sparse trees dot the horizon. Westward the road comes to a small bridge just outside of the village that crosses a stream and continues on into the sunset. Across the bridge next to the road is a parcel of land surrounded by a low stone wall. Standing stones are situated haphazardly spread within enclosure. The stream flows from rocky crags in the south and cuts northward gently curving around the outskirts of the village and eventually heads off towards the forest.

I just had this (terrible?) idea of running a Dnd campaign but via lemmy. Im hopped up on cold medicine so maybe this wouldnt really work but i was thinking itd be like those long running chess matches. Just kinda come by and make a move whenever. Thered be a community for it and youd make a post describing your char. Then id make a thread describing the campaign setting an shit and a comment to start it off. People reply with what they wanna do, i tell em to roll or what happens.
Idk if this type of post falls under the support rule just delete if no good.
Id love to hear peoples thoughts on how to make this work or not. What would be the pain points? How to make it easier to follow along chronologically with all the threads/replies of players?
Edit: are there dice rolling bots for lemmy? It might be prudent to put a d20 roll at the end of saying what youre attempting. Otherwise the turn around from ‘i wanna do x’ ‘ok roll [skill]’ ‘i rolled a 17’ ‘heres what happens’ might be real tedious. Could also see that influencing what people say they wanna do tho…
Edit2: i made a thing LemND
Also whats the purpose of the firing order names? What does it matter which order they fired? Is it just that Delta Halo sounds cooler then 04 or something
Stop bothering with protests, the fascists dont give a shit about them. We can pressure them by forcing big moneys hand.
We need to organize a longer general strike and if we can build community by getting out supporting each other and protesting at the same time thats great. But lets not kid ourselves that itll be the protesting thats doing anything.
Money talks and the people have the power!
Is queue bugged? How do you add more activities at a location? I wanna forage once then do treasure hunt once then do search party at horn of respite. How does queuing work?
Shoes should be autoclavable since they get covered in blood an shit
That’s how great an app Voyager is and wanting to share Lemmy with people! Kinda blew my mind
So thanks devs for adding the share as image option! Beautiful work 😄
Unlocking better gear/powerups/abilities is the basis of games. Is this supposed to be a generic gaming sub?
It’s annoying seeing the same headlines numerous times linking to same stuff because it’s cross posted to 3+ instances.
Is there a setting to reduce that or app that handles that well?
Any good tools out there that make it easy to Playtest with people? Would like to have screen, player on camera, and mic recorded while they play test ideally.
So I’m just one dude and 10k a year just on food seems incredibly high. I don’t go out that often, ~$1600 was at restaurants. I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong while shopping at grocery stores and want to track grocery purchases better. The store I typically go to doesn’t have online receipts to use.
I’m wondering what kind of apps are available for tracking grocery expenditures that Lemmings would recommend? It would be nice to be able to go back and check prices/sizes of things too, so what is being shrinkflated/skimpflated
