We begin, once more, inside Raidion…This week, we're deep in it. Blighted, bruised, and still somehow standing. We kick things off with yet another reminder that balancing fights for this party is…a challenge to say the least (Sorry, Harry). When your main damage dealer misses every hit and the enemy still drops? That's tricky, to say the least.Ben unpacks Raidion's fearlessness, his willingness to throw himself in the line of fire (blight and all), and how that ties into deeper themes of mortality and purpose. Meanwhile, Aoife dives into Dolly's mindset, and why going after Kelnys wasn't just emotional, it was necessary. But with doubts creeping in, is she starting to unravel?We also dig into the strange, symbiotic relationship between Parvus and Themself. Is Parvus the anti-Antiqua? We talk divine fallout, cosmic expectations, and the tension brewing between him and the rest of the old gods' chosen.And what's the deal with those underground groves? Flowers. Trees. Lush green life where there shouldn't be any. Was Themself behind it? Who designed these caves, and why?Harry gives us a peek behind the curtain into his vision for the various Kobold tribes and how he and Alex imagined the architecture of I's tunnels. We also explore what it means to run Parvus as a DMPC, and how that character balances between being part of the story and shaping it from within.Let's just say the caves aren't the only things layered.

Game groups fall apart. It's as inevitable as the rain. What do you do when your current group goes south, but you still have a player who wants to continue? Do you continue with the current campaign? Do you now run the entire rest of the party, the monsters, and all the NPCs?

We've talked about DMPCs before, but now Tasha's Cauldron of Everything has added a new way for DMs to have an avatar in the game to help PCs out, cover any weak spots, or just have a view across the table: The sidekick. The sidekick mechanics work a little differently than a straight DMPC (which is essentially a leveling PC that DM runs in the party). Which one is right for your campaign? That's the question Minnesota DM brings us this week: “When making a party-companion NPC to fill the healing role, is it better to make it a character class or use the sidekick option from Tasha's Cauldron on Everything?” In this episode, Thorin, Tony and Dave break down how they handle party companions in their games, what they think of the sidekick mechanic, and how to run a sidekick or DMPC who doesn't overshadow the party. 3:00 A listener question: If you want to add a DM character to help the party, is it better to add a DMPC or sidekick? 5:00 DMPCs and sidekicks, what's the difference? 12:00 How Tasha's sidekicks work 17:00 How we would approach DMPC vs. sidekick in our games 20:00 Do DMPCs cause problems with your players? 26:00 Will your sidekick or DMPC wind up playing Penny to the PC's Inspector Gadget? 30:00 What makes a good sidekick: Fun ideas and examples from pop culture 34:00 Do you have time to create and play a sidekick with enough personality to do them justice? 43:00 Final thoughts

For the first time ever, we brought the whole team together to recap DM Tony's very highly customized version of Storm King's Thunder. Hear what all 5 players and Tony thought of the game and what they have to say about the CRAZY MAGIC ITEMS in it, his changes to the campaign, fitting in their backstories, and more! Along the way, we talk about fighting the Kraken, befriending (most) of the giants, and how we all became The Avengers in a Halloween game. If you're wondering just how far a DM can push a book module beyond what's written before your players balk, this is the episode for you.

Chugga-chugga-choo-choo bone ponies! All aboard the Railroad campaign! That's right! Get ready to make no decisions that actually matter as your characters are reduced from mightly heroes to sidekicks for the overpowered and overly present DMPC. Perhaps you'd rather lose all sense of enjoyment and purpose as the Game Keeper drags you forcefully through their confusing and barely intriguing novel! Many have horror stories of such Railroading while others, even among the wise, claim it is a necessary evil. Come on down and listen to find out how to accomplish goals as a DM or set necessary plot points without steamrolling your players and running right off the tracks. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/curgan-ruinkeeper/support
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.16.385187v1?rss=1 Authors: Oganesyan, I., Lento, C., Tandon, A., Wilson, D. J. Abstract: Both normal and pathological functions of -synuclein (SN), an abundant protein in the central and peripheral nervous system, have been linked to its interaction with membrane lipid bilayers. The ability to characterize structural transitions of SN upon membrane complexation will clarify molecular mechanisms associated with SN-linked pathologies, including Parkinsons disease (PD), Multiple Systems Atrophy and other synucleinopathies. In this work, Time-Resolved ElectroSpray Ionization Hydrogen/ Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (TRESI-HDX-MS) was employed to acquire a detailed picture of SNs conformational transitions as it undergoes complexation with nanodisc membrane mimics. Using this approach, SN interactions with DMPC nanodiscs were shown to be rapid exchanging and to have a little impact on the SN conformational ensemble. Interactions with nanodiscs containing lipids known to promote amyloidogenesis (e.g., POPG), on the other hand, were observed to induce substantial and specific changes in the SN conformational ensemble. Ultimately, we identify a region corresponding residues 19-28 and 45-57 of the SN sequence that is uniquely impacted by interactions with amyloidogenic lipid membranes and may therefore play a critical role in pathogenic aggregation.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.30.319905v1?rss=1 Authors: Larsen, A. H., Johansen, N. T., Gajhede, M., Arleth, L., Midtgaard, S. R. Abstract: Apolipoproteins are vital to lipid metabolism and cholesterol transport in the human body. Here we present a structural study of the lipid-bound particles formed by ApoE3 in a full-length and a truncated version. The particles are formed with, respectively, POPC and DMPC and investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering and negative stain electron microscopy. We find that lipid-bound ApoE3 particles are elliptical, disc-shaped particles composed of a central lipid bilayer encircled by two amphipathic ApoE3 proteins. We went on to investigate a truncated form of ApoE3 containing only residue 80 to 255 (ApoE3[80-255]), which is the central helical repeat segment of ApoE3. The lipid-bound ApoE3[80-255] particles are found to have the same morphology as the particles with full-length ApoE3. However, they are larger, and form more heterogeneous discoidal structures with four proteins per particle. This behavior is in contrast to ApoA1 where the highly similar helical repeat domain determines the size and stoichiometry of the formed particles both in the case of full-length and truncated ApoA1. Our data hence points towards different mechanisms for lipid bilayer structural modulation by ApoA1 and ApoE3 due to different roles of the non-repeat segments Copy rights belong to original authors.

Travel back to mere days before the coronavirus lockdown began as Tom and Magill discuss how to avoid boredom during large-scale combat and contemplate which DMPCs from pop culture are the best. And why do Tom's players keep wanting to kill his DMPCs anyway? Additional materials can be found at compareandcampaign.wordpress.com Find us on Facebook! All music composed by Vince Nitro.
Jonathan and Beth Ball of D&D Duet take a break from teaching, creating, writing, and having a general blast to join us! First we get to know the magic that makes them them. Then we learn one on one gaming secrets, like how to create a fantastic dynamic between the player and the DM, how to create a cast of DMPC's that highlight the hero, and how this style can make a more engaging player out of everyone. Then we explore the wondrous fantasy versions of themselves, and it gets weird in all the right ways, folks.

This week, we have another guest- Damian from Adventures in Erylia! We discuss what makes an NPC a DMPC, some of our favorite house rules, and a whole lot more. Come along for the ride! Question(s) discussed: 1. When does an NPC become a DMPC? And how hard should you work to stop an NPC from being integrated into the party? 2. What is your favourite campaign or table specific house rule? It doesn't have to be one that you always bring to the table, but perhaps one that really worked thematically with a certain campaign.

An equilibrium phase belonging to the family of bilayer liposomes in ternary mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), water, and geraniol (a biological alcohol derived from oil-soluble vitamins that acts as a cosurfactant) has been identified. Electron and optical microscopy reveal the phase, labeled Ltv, to be composed of highly entangled tubular vesicles. In situ x-ray diffraction confirms that the tubule walls are multilamellar with the lipids in the chain-melted state. Macroscopic observations show that the Ltv phase coexists with the well-known L4 phase of spherical vesicles and a bulk L alpha phase. However, the defining characteristic of the Ltv phase is the Weissenberg rod climbing effect under shear, which results from its polymer-like entangled microstructure.
