5? We try for 5 anyway. We've all DM'ed so we all know the rules pretty well, except for grappling which we have to look up every time for some reason.

My style as a DM tends to emphasize exploration and combat over social, but we're also about to do a multi-session arc of nothing but social, so. Other ppl DM as well and have different strengths, and we generally try to play to the mood of the group

Are y'all more like Critical Role or Dungeons and Daddies? Where would you put yourselves on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being rules lawyers and 10 being a silly improv game occasionally punctuated by dice rolls?

The Foxtrots were too old for the FAA to allow them to fly anymore. One had been ground permanently already, which is a big deal here considering that Baltimore Police have had already one fatal helicopter crash.

IIRC these have lower maintenance costs and longer maintenance intervals (which is why they bought 3 instead of the 4 foxtrots).

It has a fuel strainer in the fueling point that has such little holes that if you dont trickle it in it burps out and makes a horrible mess. Then you smell like jet fuel and the cops come over and yell at us because for some reason they put some expensive sensor directly under it that the fuel can damage.

It makes cops feel powerful and the people feel like they are being watched from on high though.

I have no idea how effective or efficient heli cops are, but "because the cops said it is" is about the last reason I will ever believe because I am not Charlie Brown with a football like so many people seem to be.

sometimes i like the rippled ones but a lot of times i'm not in the mood for dealing with the ripples so i get the unrippled ones. rippled ones are more of a summer thing for me.

Unless the statute offers some unique quirk, there’s no way for the prosecutor to dismiss that case in a way that makes it so it cannot be brought again from the posture it was in at the time without engaging in some “funny business.”

Jeopardy attaches when the jury is sworn and evidence admitted. Before that, no jeopardy. It also can attach sometimes during a plea. But when the state dismisses a charge, that is almost always without prejudice to their ability to bring it back later if they want subject to some restrictions.
