I find it hard to believe that imperial china didnt invade anyone between 598 ad and 1912

lame people: there are too many magic items in d&d, everything’s a monty haul campaign

cool people: haha fire sword go brr

i had a game once where every player showed up with a broom of flight. 10/10 game it basically turned into touhou

ooh I like that helm, stealing that

lmao okay it took me a minute to figure out, that’s great.

I’ve never liked arbitrary spell targeting restrictions. I say if you want to fire blindly around cover or into a fog cloud you should be able to. It doesn’t come up very often and because it’s easy for players to understand that they’ll have a very high chance of missing and losing the spell slot.

D&D big bad who pays peasants to learn to cast message and uses them to send spam messages directly into the players’ heads

historically accurate Ariel where she’s just a dolphin

Imagining a world where Nancy Pelosi was using her insider trading money to fund Maoist rebels in the Appalacians.

It’s always projection. Even if they’re not literally doing the thing that they accuse their opponent of doing yet, the fact that they’re making the accusation reveals their intention.

Ah shit, this means they’re gonna do everything they made up about Xinjiang (if they’re not doing it already at the alligator place)

This is very game dependent. Right now I’m in a pretty brutal one where everyone is branded by the goddess of mind control and we have miniboss encounters with our own former PCs who’ve been turned into grotesque monsters - but I’ve also played in games where the PCs were newcomers to Olympus and more or less ended up recreating the first few God of War games.

Should be noted that Europe had commons for hundreds and hundreds of years before they all got enclosured and they managed them just fine with local-level spontaneous democracy.

Also the “tragedy of the commons” as we know it today was invented by a malthusian in the 1960s and everybody who invokes it as an argument against socialism ignores the part of the essay where the author advocates for central planning

Been doing rideshare late at night the last week, holy damn I didn’t realize how bad the public bathroom situation was in my town, and I’ve got a car to hunt for one.

We should genuinely have a public bathroom minimum. You want to run a store in town? You gotta make your bathroom open to the public. Don’t care if the people using it are customers or not.

why does civility have an absolutely massive trunk?
