2013 was in 1988. 2020 was in 1990

Imagine this with no context.

Isn’t this just Mutants?

It’s the bottomless pit supervisor meme, but beyond that I’m stumped.

Into the Spider-Verse has some characters animated faster than others.

Pro tip: Ask your GM if everyone can start with a Bag of Holding. They’ll probably let you to avoid having to deal with encumbrance, then you can sell them or put them in each other as makeshift bombs.

I still think he’s evil. But his punishments at least happen to be just.

Honestly, I’m wondering if it’s just a world full of horrible people. The barbarian is evil, and everyone he harms is also evil because everyone is evil.

Of the ones I watched, it mostly seemed pretty fair. The leprechaun wanted people’s souls, which would presumably involve infinite torture. Probably not as bad, but the leprechaun probably wasn’t just going to do it once. He did make the Medusa’s imprisonment extra uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem significantly worse than what she was trying to do to him. It’s not clear what the succubus would do, but I’m guessing she just kills them. And he made her death a little worse than needs be, but ultimately dying is the worst part of it and she’s presumably killing people regularly.

Though the pegasus seems to be an exception. What he was doing probably was on par with the punishment he got, but I don’t think the barbarian knew anything about it. The best I could say is maybe the barbarian didn’t know he was sapient.

Still, he doesn’t seem like a good person.

It also might be an Awakened horse.

I feel like in D&D, it makes less sense to just assume a horse can’t understand you. It might be a Paladin’s Steed. They can’t talk, but can understand speech, and if you roll for stats they can be smarter than you.

Call an elf a slur and he’ll hold a grudge for 150 years.

Call a dwarf a slur and he’ll write it down in the Book of Grudges and he and his kin will hold it against you and yours until the grudge is settled.

How is it hypocracy? She treats the guy who tells the truth well and the liar badly.

A DM’s job is to make sure everyone has fun. If they want to make things realistic or they don’t want people to play murder-hobos, they should talk about it. And if they and the players can’t figure out a game that would make all of them happy, they split up and find new groups instead of playing a game that makes everyone unhappy.

The DM wasn’t happy with the player’s choices, and instead of talking to them about it, punished them with an unwinnable fight.

They’re Medium, but they have Powerful Build, which means they count as one size larger when determining their carrying capacity and the weight they can push, drag, or lift.

In 2024, humans can be Small, but then the halfling won’t fit. And if a bugbear was Large, it wouldn’t fit on a warhorse.

But also, you might find a bristlecone pine who has been alone since their youth and speaks a dead language.

Hideo Kojima: “I want to make a game that’s nothing but cutscenes.”

Hideo Kojima: “I’ve been informed that that’s called making a movie.”

Here’s a way to have everyone meet based on this post: The first person makes up any backstory. The second person explains how they’re somehow involved in the first. Then maybe when you get to the end, the first guy goes again, and explains how his story is related to the last guy.

I was trying to figure out how many you could stack, just going by the SRD. I think the best you can do is:

Ghost Half-Dragon Half-Field Petitioner Worm that Walks Demilich Lich Pseudonatural Vampire Celestial Lycanthrope Fiendish Phrenic Paragon Human

That has everything but Skeleton, Zombie, and Half-Celestial. Skeleton and Zombie make you mindless (which keeps you from becoming a Worm that Walks) and require a skeleton (which a Worm that Walks doesn’t have). Half-Celestial requires you be good or neutral, and turns you into an outsider, which only a Worm that Walks or Half-Dragon could undo. And it would work great with Half-Fiend if it wasn’t for each one forcing an alignment the other restricts. I don’t think any of the ones that don’t change creature type change alignment.

Or if the DM rolls for HP, they have a 1/8 chance of dying from one hit. Maybe they get death saves, but those are optional if it’s not a PC.
