I think my next campaign needs a pawn shop that’ll consider buying anything but will seriously low-ball it if they can’t move it easily. And maybe need to talk to an expert they know.

I couldn’t find any kind of history of tech bubbles that wasn’t pro-bubble. Going backwards: “AI”, VR, Blockchain/Crypto, …, Dot Com bubble? I feel like there have to be more examples in there that I’m missing.

Beancounters gonna beancount

Engineering is a cost center, they don’t make money!

It looks like that’s what new D18s do

That was mostly from a past group that basically disbanded. The more recent campaigns I’ve played and DMed in figure out characters together and roll stats in-person during a session 0.

I don’t necessarily want to kill all of them, but, you know, putting a metagaming mage in an antimagic field, a min/maxed flyer in a little cave, no flanking plus some poisoning to reduce sneak attacks…

I’m just done with people showing up with “broken builds” they found online and totally legit stat blocks that they definitely rolled.

In pursuit of known dunamancer Rick Sanchez

I have a “D3” that’s just a D6 with two of each.

They’re out there somewhere…

Yeah, the real kicker is the 25 gp worth of powdered silver.

In 5E, Lesser Restoration is free, so no one should really be blind, deaf, paralyzed, or poisoned. If they’re missing a limb, though, Regenerate needs a vial of Holy Water that costs 25gp. For a commoner who makes 1sp a day, that’s a lot.

Yeah, I feel like I’ve been in a campaign with both of them and would rather not do it again

…well that worked out

They’re already in late season form

Bout time

Not that the roster was helping or anything, but neither was he

Same. I like starting with almost random combinations of class/race/skills that aren’t close to min/maxed together, then discovering the character at the table.

I get that some people have a harder time improvising or really want to play essentially a character from some media they like. And that’s fine. Different strokes for different folks. The essay backstories just wear me out and don’t seem appropriate for low level characters, though.
