Thanks for an honest and informative reply.

I guess I’m lucky in that I’m not particularly tied down anywhere. If I found myself in that situation, I’d just leave. A visa to a more developed, civilised country like Thailand or Chile isn’t that hard to get, right?

Or is leaving equivalent to ‘letting them win’?

Jesus fucking Christ… Is this the reality people in the US are living? I can’t comprehend the environment that would lead to someone giving this advice.

Got a link for that podcast?

I think I’m out of the loop here.

I’m playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can’t ignore the current dissonance.

I’m playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

I’ve ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I’m not sure where I want to take this thing.

Fuck, I love this game.

Is there another sub for non-meme ttrpg discussion?

I’ll say it here regardless - Feng Shui is my favourite system that’s not Blades or DnD or derivates.

The whole premise is based around Hong Kong style action flicks. Most enemies have one hit point. If you hit, they go down. If you describe your action well, you get a bonus- instead of saying “I kick the guy”, players are encouraged to say “I leap from the balcony, swing from the tapestry, and fly-kick the guy in the head”. The setting includes four distinct time periods, so you can travel from a cyberpunk future to a colonial history between sessions. It’s fast, it lends itself to simple plots, and it’s fun to be awesome.
