Quoting this to pin it.

If you think Skill based matchmaking is bad, just wait until you learn about Engagement Based Matchmaking.

It is a rare person who actually understands what roleplaying is and how it's orthogonal to systems and mechanics, not resultant from them. One can (and should) Roleplay in any game. What makes a Roleplaying Game different is that its mechanics enable and reinforce roleplay.

This is the truest trvke to ever be dropped.

Overheard at a pub in Ashville: "I wish this place had an actual park. Not just that tiny green space that there's always youngins running around screaming at" Lady, what do you think parks are for? Why do people hate children merely existing?

10yo me: "Woah... The Ocean King needs me..?" 30yo me: "Woah... The Ocean King needs me...?"

You just KNOW this guy was great company on feast days.

DM: "You're sheet says evil, you understand this is a cooperative game and you aren't allowed to screw over the other players?" Player: "Totally understand" Then you play D&D and it's fine. You don't have to mangle the game into a half-assed diplomacy session.

Kyle Rittenhouse- attacked by convicted felons with weapons and defends himself, wounds/kills only criminals Karmelo Anthony- was in the wrong tent and stabs a 4.0 star athlete who is an outstanding member of his community There are no similarities, only dipshits would think so

Gym idea: Planet Fitness but instead of a Lunk Alarm, they have a Skank Alarm.

There are exactly two solutions for this. 1.) Stop doing theater kid RP and just use third person action verbs and reaction rolls. 2.) Continue using theater kid RP which the DM secretly grades and adds a hidden modifier to your rolls based on how good it is.

If we were a serious country posting this sign outside a business would be punishable by tar and feathering.

All I’m saying is that if women can sue a workplace that runs like a frat house then men should be able to sue a workplace that runs like a Montessori preschool.

Time lapse drawing of The Crimson Wastes!

Here is the final version. Sat down and took another 4 hour pass on it. Compass now is North. Banner is a bit smaller. The details (trees) were erased and enlarged and redone. Made the Icons on the map a bit bolder...and increased the size a little...oh and I did a tiny bit of saturation changes in the mountain area. Thanks for all you comments and suggestions! This was really fun to draw with @MapEffects brushes. - Working on a time lapse video for tomorrow. Just need to make the music for it. Well have a great night all. Enjoy!

Reject Kool-Aid and pineapple ghetto slop. RETVRN to White Yeoman tradition.

I'm A/B testing with this module. Released it in 5E, now I'm releasing a Shadowdark version. Seeing the difference... it's taking a bit of effort because I'm making a new class, so there's actually some design work differences.

There has finally been a "rooftop meeting" edit that I might make my pfp. Stay tuned.

Somehow they managed this without Anthropic or OpenAI. Curious.

Many complain "She's wearing makeup! Unrealistic!" Many retort "Yeah well they had make up back then so that's accurate." I don't think we should validate bad-faith whinging about her "wearing makeup" at all. Those people are just mad you can't be gay in the game and that she doesn't have vitiligo or something so they're attacking the game on grounds of "historical accuracy." She likely isn't wearing makeup, she's probably just a 3d model with light stylization where natural blemishes and discoloration were omitted in the same way a painter like John William Waterhouse would. This doesn't have to be justified any more than giving a warrior of mythic pre-history the build of a roided out 80's bodybuilder. Conan didn't use testosterone enanthate and she isn't wearing lashes.
