Lawyer: How would you like to handle the custody agreement?

Parent: I want my wife to take one of my infant daughters to the UK and I’ll take the other one and we will never see each other again.

Lawyer: You want to fucking what?

i bought the new Lego Tower of Babel set but the instructions stop making sense about halfway through the little booklet thingy.

I haven't read as many TTRPG system books as you, so I wanted to ask: What is the most absurd or exaggerated things you ever read in a system book? for example, there is this brazilian system called 3D&T and in the page giving examples of "what each level on each stat can do" they go from the usual 5 max starter points to over to over a 1000 points in one stat saying "you can destroy a star in one attack with this value"

The basic problem with this question is that the high end of what player characters can do in high-powered tabletop RPGs very rapidly becomes too big to powerscale. If you push things far enough, shit goes all conceptual in a way that defies direct comparison.

For example, a starting player character in Jenna Moran's Nobilis can work transformative miracles upon their domain which affect the entire observable universe; how do you powerscale the ability to shatter planets with your bare hands against the ability to transform truths into lies or become immanently embodied in every instance of the colour blue? Sarah Newton's Mindjammer uses a fractal character creation system which allows entities to be given stats at nearly any scale, with lower-scale entities able to "borrow" the stats of higher-scale entities within specific domains; how do you powerscale the ability to fly faster than light against the ability to act "as" an entire galaxy-spanning civilisation? What does that measuring stick look like?

the most absurd or exaggerated thing I have ever read in a system book is the phrase "Generic Universal Role Playing System"

[chanth-thara]

okay, i’m curious. let’s play a game. reblog this post and put in the tags the name of a fictional Indigenous character.

No headcanons, no ‘coding’, only CANONICALLY Indigenous characters. You have unlimited time. Go.

the weirdest thing about my wizard tattoo is that unlike the other tattoo i have, it's really reactive to my lupus

like the first signs of a flare up from stress/over exertion used to be red face + fever + rash on my hands

but the lines of my tattoo will become raised and then a little itchy before it progresses to that point

and im discovering that, yeah, if i just listen to the wizard and rest/recuperate/stop pushing myself when it starts acting weird, i can sometimes avoid triggering the other symptoms

early warning system wizard who lives on my shoulder reminding me to take care of myself

It would be funny if we were introduced to a vast galaxy of alien life and the blue whale was still the largest animal ever discovered. Like that’s the biggest life has ever gotten. That would be fucked. The blue whale is just the craziest animals would get even with the introduction of a seemingly infinite number of new species. Would you be disappointed or celebrate the enormity of our homegrown big ass creature?

Stephen King rightly gets a lot of shit for frequently having his characters think and speak in pop culture references that only make sense if you spent your formative years in 1970s Maine, but I feel like articulating that particular criticism on Tumblr is something of a glass-houses situation.

[prokopetz]

Like, yeah, King will have literal space aliens making pop culture references that only old men from small-town Maine would plausibly make; however, I have seen the kinds of novels that people who spent their twenties on Tumblr write, and there is also a very definite sense of time and place.

if i'm a lesbian do i have to listen to carly rae jepsen?

some people will accuse me of gatekeeping here, but the answer is a hard yes

Ngl the panic around HRT happening at the same time as the GLP-1 weight loss craze is some incredible worldbuilding.

[shamebats]

You have all these people just freaking out about the safety of sex hormones being used for the same purpose they have been for decades, meanwhile the same people who didn't even know what GLP-1 was until a few years ago are now eager to get on these medications and nobody cares about possible long-term effects or regret.
