Not a very high quality article. Makes constant reference to “faction and domain play” without adequately defining the terms for someone that didn’t grow up with them. (Presumably, the target of the article.) And a lot of typos.

Addl wisdom: some people make jokes when they’re uncomfortable, as a defense mechanism. If you have a player or players constantly trying to lighten the mood, consider that the atmosphere you’re trying to create may not be a good fit for your party, and/or parts of your party may not be a good fit for your game.

One slab of dry ice is a couple pounds, I could easily see a bathtub full of it being a problem. Also, co2 is heavier than air, cats are smaller than humans, and they live closer to the ground, so I think …m… made the right call.

This kind of thing can be fun. It can also be just as or more fun to sit around with nothing more than some scrap paper and an idea. Especially no shade on people that don’t have unlimited budgets to spend on setups like this.

I would really like to commission that one artist that does the WWI kobolds to do a piece with 3 kobolds running a vintage SMG as if it were a crew served weapon. (But sadly they won’t return my emails)

Isn’t SCP public domain? You’re explicitly allowed to do whatever you want with it

This is silly. EVERY system can be exploited, and every group should expect eachother to act in good faith. The difference between systems is what parts are done for you and what parts you do yourself, and every group is going to want a different assortment of those pieces. You’re just mad that some groups get what they want out of DnD. You are the problem person in this image.

I like to use the weird spells that players rarely take due to being less than optimal. That way they still get to use them situationally, without having to “waste” a slot.

The exception is when there’s a particular story reason for a certain type of item to crop up; for instance, a group of assassins hunting a powerful mage might have a lot of dispel and antimagic type things.

I’m done with self care, it’s time for others harm.

People just don’t like homework. (Which is perfectly understandable) And for most people most of the time, learning a new system is homework.

I don’t know who Shelyn is but I love their lil gay bird

“You go to ask your Grandpa about it. He tries to explain but is so fucking racist you can’t even tell if he’s still speaking common. In between gibberish that’s probably old-timey slurs, you pick out something like ‘follow the quest hook’ and ‘the dm already told you where to go’”

“Nah roundears I wrapped it up”

“Yeah, I had to spend 50 doing your mom. And 50 before that for her mom, and her mom…”

Mom and dad have 900 years of savings in the college fund.

What was the game

Ooh, I will have to check that out for my own game, thanks!

Pointy Hat had a great video on this subject!

I have no idea what book y’all are talking about, but does it specify that the rifle projects antimatter in any way? Maybe it uses antimatter in place of chemical propellant to fire a slug really fast? (and some handwavey technomaterial to contain the pressure)

I once doodled my Paladin’s full plate as including a chastity belt with a big ol’ padlock
