I am so grateful I have never played with someone like this
A #ttrpg nerd and a #rodent lover.
Pfp is my #hamster, Mister Peanut Butter, looking shocked at me taking a picture of him while he’s busy grooming himself. Banner picture is of my two #cavy boars, Oreo (right) and Coffecake (left), who are claiming that I have never fed them once and will soon starve to death, despite the full food bowl behind them.

My group’s campaign started with us being called in to select the next heir, which involved investigating the sins of the imperial harem. When we got there, there were about 60 children and 12 viable heirs. Currently, there are 5 remaining children and 2 viable heirs.
@nothacking @Stamets @rpgmemes
Thats just dnd in general right there
Are we playing the same campaign? Lol
@Fundamentallylazy @ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling
Okay, that chart is, like, 5 difference systems of measurement pretending to be one unit of measurement. The imperial system is bad, but it’s not quite as bad as that chart.
That said, I like how most imperial units are at a scale that feel nice. Like, most things you measure in feet are no more than 10 feet long, most things you measure in yards are less than a dozen yards long. Also, it’s nice that at 0° F you know road salt isn’t gonna work.
@LoamImprovement @Anticorp I think you don’t understand how public arguments work
@Cethin pretty much every centripetal worth taking either deals damage, give combat advantages, or has a very useful effect like Light.
Essentially my hot take is that even Prestidigitation and Light should be a 1st level spell. Especially Light.
@Golett03 hot take: cantrips ruined spellcasting. Spells should take spell slots unless they are a ritual or granted by a magic item. If I could go back in time and make cantrips not a thing, I would
@mindbleach @Thisfox but didn’t he also train the rats to do his bidding while in his own dungeon, and then reveal at the end of the book that he actually had a secret escape tunnel built into those dungeons when he made them (meaning he simply stayed in his dungeon because he chose to)
@neptune depends on the campaign. But tbh most dms don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
I’m fairly certain she hasn’t changed this because we’ve had conversations in-game about genetics and inbreeding, which implies DNA exists. We’ve also interacted with NPCs who have genetic disorders like Down Syndrome and hemophilia, which wouldn’t exist without DNA.
@GrimSheeper My backstory gives me an excuse. Essentially, my warlock has a pact with the embodiment of the big bang. This pact was made after he spent four years squatting in its library on the astral plane reading all the books it had. The whole point of this character is to inflict science on the setting and see what happens. The dm knows this.
On a side note, I’m starting to think it wants to be incarnated in the mortal world. I’m not sure having the big bang happen again is a good thing.
@H1jAcK
Oh, just attack the evil changeling slavers, that’s going to go so well for us. We won’t have any problems with random npcs turning out to be changeling assassins in disguise /s
Just for reference, we are level 3 and the median person we come across seems to be level 1 or 2 in one class or other.
Honestly, the lack of stuff makes me feel like I actually know this platform
@Afterpants It led to some very chaotic behavior from that character since
Player was mature rper who valued the experience of the other people at the table and very much wanted to see how everything tied together
Character was suddenly very aware that if the story ended, he would stop existing.
Player decided that the character’s moment of gnosis also allowed him to possess his irl body while in-character
The “nobody ever uses the bathroom in fiction unless something is sus” trope popped up in a Trail of Cthulhu campaign I ran back in high school. One of the PCs realized in a moment of Mythos-inflicted hysteria that he hadn’t used the bathroom in 9 months, which led to him slowly realizing that he was in an episodic work of fiction and would stop existing when the story was over
That makes a lot of sense. Totally respect that.
How do you live like this
I always love it when religious characters put the social good above their own personal power. It makes me feel hopeful.
@Dagnet @dragontamer
I saw a video of a guy doing breaststroke in full plate mail once. Sure, it was rough for him, and he was already pretty fucking good at swimming, but he didn’t sink like metal Mario or anything like that.
