I was amused when I noticed her in the most recent M Night movie Trap.

This is not an endorsement of this movie. I just thought Parent Trap to Trap was an interesting career or maybe the title of her memoirs.

It’s absolutely allowed.

It’s not as good as previous versions but I am running stock android and I have wifi power saving and phone (background) power saving modes available. I just checked and the estimate of time until zero percent battery goes from 22 hours to 28 hours with the node that limits backup processes, and that is with 59% on the battery.

There was a power save mode on my old phone that made everything grey screen and stuff that was way better. I think I enabled it for a camping trip once and used like 20% battery in 3 days.

I would 100% enjoy playing at your table. I’m all for anything that makes the game more enjoyable for the most people, just as you said.

The only thing that really bothers me is when people have problems with a game and don’t talk about it, opting to just flake on the game instead. It’s all about communication.

If you want to play with house rules, that’s fine. If nobody at your table has any problems with this, you are golden. This is a fairly common house rule and CritRole (Mercer) uses it quite liberally.

As someone who disagrees with critical success/failure on skill check rolls, I would like to better understand your position. I feel reliable talent and other abilities like it are diminished by this house rule. What would you say to me if I was one of your players and brought this up as an issue?

I do the same load but I have lots of blocks to keep down the static of things I am not interested in. Saves me some scrolling.
