Whenever I see Alex Warren on Spotify, I think it is Leopold Fitz from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Do they have the same actor or something?

Spider-man should be in a small village, not NY

I am rewatching the spider-man movies with Tony atm. And boy the coincidence is uncanny. He happens know the Green goblin and Doc Oc personally, he happens to be at all the events his villains attack, hell his docter happens to know his colledge professor. That stuff does not happen in a city like NY.

But: the girl of your dreams happens to be dating the son of your boss; That is the way things go in a small village.

Just realised he has to live in a city with skyscrapers to swing from skyscrapers. Small-town Spidey would be even later to everything.

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

[kineticpenguin]

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.

"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."

[kineticpenguin]

Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.

[onion-souls]

The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."

[phaeton-flier]

Elf Fentanyl works exactly the way cops think human fentanyl does

[plaid-dm-mainpage]

My good friends, alcohol tolerance does not go up with age. When I was 18 i didn't have limits and hangovers were inconvenient. Now it's just a couple of liters and my head is wood the next day.

Elves = twinks = low tollerance

Dwarves = stubborn= fake having a high tollerance

[fanonical]

i am looking at you, new ttrpg players. i am looking you in the eyes. you do not need to be like the professional players. it's okay if you can't do voices or stutter or need to pause to think about what you're going to say or how your character would act. we are doing this for fun. gaming should never stop being fun

[plaid-dm-mainpage]

Got challenged to write a story in exactly 55 words

About a fisher, a magnet and a magical sword  A magnet fisherman on a deep Belgian river was prepared for German bombs. He was surprised by the sword with iron hilt and silver blade. The corpse from which he had apparently pulled the sword swam up. It spoke with difficulty. “Vladimir, the leech of Antwerp has risen.” 

Fortunately, the fisherman still had the sword.

brainrotting about your dnd character is soooo hard cuz you cant tell anyone else about it since they wont get it, and you cant tell the other players yet cuz their characters dont know these things, and you CANNOT tell your dm because theyre evil and sneaky and Will hurt you (/pos, as much as i pretend otherwise), so youre just STUCK thinking about your character rotating them in your head alllll day

[dandinspo]

This is a good time to mention the idea of a character journal. A place to put all those ideas. As well as art, session notes, maps, funny stories from the table, old characters sheets as you level out of them, etc. You can be as minimal as you want or you can go all out with doodles and stickers, dried flowers and leaves, and QR codes to songs, or digital resources, whatever you can think of.

[plaid-dm-mainpage]

This might depend on playstyle but, I'll go the complete opposite way. My characters will trust the rest of the party with their complete backstory from day one. This makes makes it so they can se my character evolve and understand their reasoning. I also want to know what is going on with their characters, how else can I care about their stories. But most importantly: I want my DM to go evil with my backstory. We are going to fight bad guys anyways. They could be random vampires or they could be my long lost daughter, and I know what will be more drama.

[baddywronglegs]

A thing to try: don't make gods for your fantasy TTRPG setting.

Instead, get each player to tell you the god their character follows, then roll a d6 behind the screen.

6: Their god is real, and as powerful as they believe it to be; maybe they even listen to prayers; maybe they even care. Maybe they care more about if your shellfish wear mixed fabrics.

5: It's a real entity, but whose power is exaggerated - like as a river spirit, but they're worshipped thousands of miles away from it for prayers their expertise with rivers leaves them woefully unprepared to answer

4: It's a powerful demon or dragon or monster of some kind which has tricked people into worshipping it - sure it's powerful, but that power is entirely self-serving, it couldn't answer your prayers if it wanted to

3: It's a person who, through real power, political influence or just straight up charisma, has tricked people into worshipping them, or through a series of misunderstandings has been mistaken for a god against their will

2: It was a long-dead person whose legacy has passed into legend - they may once have been a 3, or they may just have been famous in their life and not seen as godly until long after their death

1: Just a wholesale myth with no basis in reality. Maybe your god started off as a cautionary tale a mother made up to stop her children sucking their thumbs and over the retellings the whole "god of war" thing just sort of happened because of the massive scissors, and now the scissors are gone and all that's left is battlefield chants.

And of course, let the players know about this before you roll. Tell them about their odds, but never tell them about their gods.

2. the harvest moon knew all my secrets

I have no impact craters or corrosion As long as I cover them up with loose sand

No pain, no emotion As long as no one knows, understands

What isn't known, isn't real don't have to feel then the moons smiles understanding, glowing dam breaks, my rivers start flowing

When I eat, I ravage Bloody meat, like a savage And nothing can stop me

When I drink, I gulp down Poisonous tings, in foaming dark brown And nothing can stop me

When I fuck, it is with lust Can't feel the luck, only the thrust And nothing can stop me

When I kill, its with joy a little blood spill, my favorite toy And nothing can stop me

Except the calming blue skies Inside your soft dreamy eyes Telling me with a sweet little voice I still have a choice

Into the Cess and Citadel by Feral Indie Studio

I have come to appreciate games that set up a powder keg for you to ignite with their factions and webs of relationships. This method of generating such a web is one I think I'll be carrying with me to future games - it's a really powerful tool! And the more I think about games, the more I think emotional and volatile dominoes for the players to knock over are crucial.

Where's the African mythology?

The Kickstarter is live now!

[boycarofchilladelphia]

I know I have close to zero Tumblr fame, which I normally appreciate, but I would love it if this made it into the world and got fully backed. You can even pledge to get the digital content and send a real copy to a school in Africa or to a HBCU or community library of your choosing!
