That’s a roguelike convention. Potion colors are randomized. Runes/scrolls usually arent.

Exactly. You demonstrate to me that a goblin is a house sized red avian, I won’t love that thats the word you used unless you give me a reason, but once thats done you better not use that word to describe a little green hominid.

Yeah I remember when he was a big name doing that shit. Then he recently popped up talking linux. And in between it became a somewhat regular occurrence in my country for people to march with swastika flags. For all I knew it was edgy jokes from an era where fascism was still outside the Overton window, or he just became a low key supporter of modern fascism but without any stunts big enough to get noticed

This feels like people should go to prison over it

Yeah I’m increasingly unwilling to put up with subscriptions that arent reasonable. If you’re selling a piece of software, I’ll consider paying for it. I love foundry for that, its a vtt that I bought and it just works. They update it, but I don’t expect or demand updates beyond keeping it working. And if they were to offer more features in the future with a new model I’d consider paying for the new model.

DM assigned specialness is different and often really fun.

I’ve played a few “mystery backstory” games those are really fun, especially the one where we had to figure out even our class

Yeah ime players tell the gm what they’ve decided to play when they know and the understanding is they pick something that works with everything else. Or we all decide what we’re playing collaboratively, that way if we’re all squishy controllers at least it’s on purpose

Glad to see fights for trans ohioans

And I want a better future. Guess we’re both gonna be disappointed ain’t we

Do you have a problem with the language that’s half l and y?

Yeah, I gave a content warning before abomination vaults for a reason. We’ve got a silly player character and they’re not expected to survive the campaign (player regularly acknowledges it). Everyone should agree on the tone at the start

Little bro hasn’t heard of bodily autonomy

Yeah the third world are the only ones not pulling this crap

That tracks, tall, buff, green, and femme certainly will get you laid

Yeah it’s important to keep in mind that while some of these people are just concerned about children, many ultimately want some content topics to be illegal that are currently legal. And for those funding and enacting such things such content is often all of pornography (as per their definitions) and all of queer content

If that’s the devil maybe I should be glad being gay is getting me sent into her arms

That and global warming

“People behave themselves in a panopticon”-rich people

Firstly no, people don’t. Second, they go crazy in one. And third, this basically breaks down the threads of both community and individualism to create a miserable nightmare

I prefer the culture model significantly. Yes most orcs you meet will be part of a warband, but you may also get the orcish equivalent to Kublai Kahn. Drow have a cruel backstabbing matriarchy, but some surface city drow families only reflect that in that women are default head of household. You aren’t killing that camp of goblins because they’re short and green you’re killing them because they’re bandits, hell you may have been given that quest by a goblin.

And it lets you play with stereotypes vs cultural identities being lost to assimilation.

And it’s not like you can’t just automatically signal evil. Drow assassins probably aren’t up to any good unless you’ve been given a heads up. A goblin or orc raiding party is a raiding party and those are safe to assume are evil even if it’s an aasimar one. Even benevolent illithid eat brains.

And we have an example of this in the gith. The difference between the two types is cultural not biological.

Yeah she’s also a healer irl, she’s the type to volunteer at first aid booths at pride and such. Evil evil woman, so lucky to have her.
