I mean lets not talk about the fact that I instantly went into death saves though

takes notes

Meanwhile almost all my BG3 playthroughs are evil Durge

I could shoot someone on AskLemmy and no one would bat an eye

Oh don’t worry, I’m not upset or anything lol I’m more than aware it’s just teasing and jokes <3 Besides, nothing wrong with being a furry anyway so no insult to be had.

That’s fair though. I hadn’t really thought that. I guess considering it is a bird that really does push it over the line. Thanks for clearing it up lol

Nah I don’t mind it for jokes but I’m definitely not a furry. Not like there’s anything wrong with it, just can’t say that I am in the ranks of the glorious.

I would argue that my description applies to most peoples DnD characters in general though. That’s why I was confused by the furry stuff at first. Because my buddy who plays a half elf says the same thing about his character. Is he an elfie? The other one who played the goblin says the same thing. Is he a gobby? I chose aarakocra because I thought it’d be cool race to play outside of the typical humanoid ones. The wings were a bonus. But I want to be him because of his personality, not necessarily his looks. I just put his art in because I paid for it ages ago and don’t get to share it often.

Nah, he’s just cooler than me. Funnier than me. Stronger than me. Nicer than me. Also he has a shadow version of himself he can summon and has a talking moose named Sailor so… And who the fuck doesn’t want to fly?

Happy to help him whatever weird way I can.

While gay is a catch all it also tends to be used specifically for male/male couples as well because there isn’t a term for gay male couples like there is for gay female couples. Hell, up until shockingly recently there wasn’t even a flag for gay men. For everyone else that the rainbow is supposed to cover but nothing specifically for gay men.

Either it is the symbol for another stroke, the symbol for loss, the symbol for gay sex, or the sign that a zombified bunny rabbit raised from the bowels of ancient Sumeria will return to eat a crater on the moon in three and a half weeks.

Just look into your heart for the answer.

Anytime, glad to help <3

I’m pretty sure there’s one in the default lemmy. I think one in Alexandrite too. Not sure if you’re using a web client or an app. But I’m glad to help be that catalyst for you <3 and I wasn’t kidding either

My DM last week decided to have this weird fucky thing in the area that we were at. Some fucky wucky magic that was making it so after every roll (except for attacks) the DM made another roll to determine odds or evens. If it was evens, your roll worked as normal. If it was odds, your roll was reversed so that your nat 20 would become a nat 1. But that also meant if you ended up with a nat 1 and he rolled an odd, you’d get a nat 20. This happened twice. We were all laughing nonstop because like… none of us could have metagamed it if we wanted to. And some of us roll physically and others on dnd beyond. DM just trusts us. So when I said a Nat 1 at one point with a pained sigh, I had forgotten about his odds/evens thing. He rolled and started laughing and then we all started laughing as the roll went through stupendously well.

Not exactly the same as what you’re describing but I thought it was fun and wanted to share <3

So first off, Meta-gaming in DnD is a bit weird. It’s both acceptable and not acceptable, depending on the limitations therein. Like it is technically metagaming to have one PC trust another after just meeting in the game for the first time but this is not just acceptable but actively encouraged in some games because you don’t want to draw out being untrustworthy of your party in the first session when the whole goal is to play together.

But the flipside is bad metagaming like if you read a module ahead of time, have information about that and then use that to take actions like fetching a bad guys bugout bag and investigating a specific wall to see through the illusion (Fuck you, you giant turtle asshole… sorry. Bad experience) then that is just you being shitty because you’re not really playing the game. This is taken a step further with dice rolls. You may or may not notice that some DMs will ask for a specific DC and other ones will just ask for a roll and then tell you if you succeeded/failed after the fact. The ones who ask for it after the fact have typically dealt with a lot of Metagaming Bobs. People who, when they hear a specific DC, will roll just barely that DC or roll to beat it. Especially if it is a big and important roll. They don’t want the dice to tell the story, they just want to win. They don’t understand the game. To them it’s being the hero or succeeding everytime so they’ll lie about the dice rolls.

Metagaming bob is upset in this instance because the DM has elected to have all players roll in a specific thing so that only the DM can see the roll. That way only the DM knows whether they succeeded or failed. Bob feels like his agency has been taken away and he doesn’t trust the DM. He thinks the DM will just lie about the rolls because Bob can’t understand playing the game in any way other than how he sees it. He is mentally accusing the DM of doing what he does. So when he says that there is a problem, the DM knows that he has caught Bob.

From this point, Bob will typically flame out of the party. He will get upset about something and either be pushed out by all other players and the DM or just leave himself. Less often, Bob starts to learn the error of his ways and accepts the dice as the true storytellers and all of us just along for the ride.

I hope that helps and I hope that you have a fantastic session next weekend! May you always roll with advantage and the dice be forever in your favor <3

Goddammit. No. Stop it. Stop being that fucking funny.

I started to type in ‘Exactly’ and then was about to type in your username. But I just started laughing my fucking ass off at ‘Brave Little Hitachi Wand’

Lack of imagination. For if the DM is handing out magic items to you then he’s doing the same elsewhere. I hand a fair few out but whether or not they’re gonna be useful, and whether or not they’ll survive the next encounter, is up to them. Things are still balanced, they’ve just got more gadgets.

That just means you’re not dead inside.

I can fix you.
