the problem with calling inanimate objects “girl” is that once you start you cannot stop. I said “girl” to the dishwasher because that bitch would not close no matter how hard I whacked her pussy. what is wrong with me

Ladies of the Avernus

- Feonor is a neutral evil necromancer with milky white eyes and a parasol made of bones and human flesh. She was invited to Avernus by Mahadi the rakshasa, who fell head-over-heels in love with her zombie-like indifference. Not long after arriving in Avernus, Feonor grew bored with his attempts to impress her, took to the Avernian wastes on one of the rakshasa's infernal war machines and never looked back. Feonor's face hints at her constant annoyance with the multiverse around her. She prefers not to speak, and when she does, it's typically in whispers, punctuated with frustrated sighs. - Mad Maggie is a night hag with the demeanor of a kindly mother, but her warm smile masks a cruel cunning. Years ago, a thirst to experience the ultimate misery brought the night hag to the first layer of the Nine Hells. Driven by her lust for misery and her delight in the corruption of the valiant, Mad Maggie seeks to collect more artifacts tied to Zariel's fall from grace. - Zariel titled the Archduchess of Avernus and the Lord of the First, is the archdevil ruler of Avernus who was dedicated to winning the unending Blood War between devils and demons. She was originally an angel of the Seven Heavens before transforming into an archdevil and falling to the Nine Hells.

when I tell you I had to do a double take because I thought these were 2 parts of the same whole joke

[snotty-sneezeburger]

"Hit Points represent durability and the will to live. Creatures with more Hit Points are more difficult to kill."

Quoted from the 2024 Free Ruleset, actually a really good explanation of Hit Points; it's not that dudes with lots of hit points somehow have more blood in their bodies, it's that they're gonna put up way more of a fight before they go down.

That also explains shit like Temp HP, which isn't like... Extra life points, it's you feeling emboldened to continue fighting a little longer. Same with stuff like Relentless Endurance, it's not that you magically get healed one hit point for no reason, it's that you are SO DETERMINED TO NOT DIE that you can't be taken to 0 that easily.

Feels less like a videogame mechanic and more like a thematic element of a story, which I am 100% here for

the rubber duck

[arsonistblue]

For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it. 

It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.

“when i say it out loud i realize where the stupid was”

[elidyce]

I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve gone to someone and told them ‘I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my story, please let me explain it to you’ and that was all it took. Sometimes they ask helpful questions like ‘did you remember to feed them’ or ‘so is this all on the same day’ but other times I don’t even need that, it just figures itself out as soon as I try to explain it to someone else.

It’s one of my go-to pieces of writing advice. You’re stuck on your story? sit down and tell me/someone all about it.

Rubber duck debugging - Wikipedia

this works great in d&d in two ways:

as a DM, talking to yourself, when you're trying to work through some sort of plot or worldbuilding conundrum. worldbuilding is all about interesting questions and answers

as a DM, asking your players to talk to you as the silent rubber duck whenever they're stuck in some sort of conundrum or mystery. more than once i've said "talk me through this" and by the end of it they'd figured out their next step

This is my favorite canon Drow art there is, it's from 'Menzoberranzan, city of intrigue' and it depicts a mother showing her two daughters Narbondel as the city's archmage lights it up for the day

Most Drow art shows nobles or soldiers being in some sort of conflict or about to ambush someone so it's nice to see simpler moments like this one
