If you request data from a server, chances are that your server needs to request that data from another server - which is ‘upstream’.
There can be multiple upstream servers involved in responding to your single request

I have used both types of distance calculation in different campaigns. I agree that the ‘alternating’ rule is better, but I’ve also seen that it confuses some players and in that case slows down combat.
I’m currently using the phb rule. My players have just gained access to fireball and similar AoE spells, and I use the actual circular spell effects
So far I have not seen the players actively abusing this, so for now I’m just ignoring the weird distance effects


Mathematically, a circle is defined by all points that have the same distance to the center point. In d&d on a grid, distances are measured in 5ft squares, where a diagonal distance is the same as an orthogonal distance. This results in mathematical circles being square on a 5e/5.5e d&d grid
so, one fireball, having a mathematical 20 ft radius, can completely fill a square room of 40x40 ft.
Yes I know the book has a circular template for spell effects. However, using that on a grid has the weird effect that a target can be in a place that is 20 ft removed from the center (diagonally) but at the same time not be in the area of effect of a fireball cast on that center point

“Are you the only one in your group who GMs?”
I am in 3 groups, in 2 of them I am GM. From these 2, in one I’m the only GM; in the other there are 3 GM’s.
A bit hard to answer questions like this on a 5 point scale.
That is true, for the 2014 (5e) version
The 2024 / 5.5e version rules no longer have the “two-weapon fighting” subsection - the rule is now merged into the description of the ‘light’ weapon property
Not completely right
(5.5e) Two-weapon fighting is a Fighting Style that only some classes can get.
Dual Wielder is a general Feat that any character of level 4 with str or dex 13 or higher can take.
Anyone can dual wield when their main weapon has the Light property.


“Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.”
Wow. That’s such a brilliant new idea –except that across the North Sea this has been possible for several years now. A so called ‘dynamic contract’ prices electricity based on supply and demand, which changes every hour. Sometimes you pay more than the ‘flat rate’, but also sometimes you even get paid for using electricity.

Of course it was.


I have a small site with no robots.txt . Google search console still shows the same number of search results as in the last few months (around 800/month)

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!


Thanks for all this work. Also, thanks that you communicated wat you where doing and how it went!
