DM: “The orc captain fires his bow, and…that’s a hit. And he rushes, and…hit. And, bonus move, and…oh jeez that’s a *big* hit. I’m sorry, man.”
Player, sadly pulling out a fresh character sheet: “Eh, it’s alright. I guess in the next act y'all are gonna meet Boromir’s brother Faramir.”
I just lost six followers
Y'all up here acting like Snape spent his entire life in Danger because of his spywork? No. He joined the Death Eaters willingly after Hogwarts and only worked as a Spy for about 9 months (probably shorter) during the 1st war and then 3 years during the 2nd war. He had a nice, comfortable life inbetween under Dumbledore’s protection at Hogwarts. He was the only one to blame for any discomfort and unhappiness he experienced in those almost 14 years of safety. He was bitter and decided take it out on the rest of the world.
You know who did brave a horrible life full of loneliness, poverty, negligence and cruelty at the hands of those who wrongly feared and marginalized him? Remus Lupin. Who by the way also worked as a Spy for Dumbledore by living among werewolves (including the man who bit him) who supported Voldemort. Note, he LIVED among these werewolves. Always in danger of being torn apart and murdered on the spot, whereas most of Snape’s spylife involved him sulking around Hogwarts tormenting kids… Safe. And Remus lost EVERYTHING…but he smiled. Always smiled. Always put others first and never took anything for granted. It took tremendous amounts of bravery for Remus to just go about everyday life.
But no Snape’s the bravest of them all. I’m not bitter.
i understand that my friends don’t wanna talk every day. i understand that my s/o doesn’t wanna be lovey dovey and super indulgent every day. lots of people need rest from performative emotions. all people need rest in general! it’s okay!! it doesn’t mean they don’t love me!! it’s not a judgement or punishment!! they deserve to take their rest, and they deserve for me to treat their needs with respect!
not a lot of ppl grasp this.
Just as the phrase “what the entire fuck” implies the existence of fractional fucks, the phrase “what the absolute fuck” implies the existence of both positive and negative fucks (or else there would be no need for an absolute value operation). Taken together with the phrase “what the actual fuck” (which implies the existence of imaginary fucks), we may thus conclude that fuckery is isomorphic with the complex field.
As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.
Please, more social media sites need to do this.
Give your players a password that they know exactly what they need it for. Then don’t get them into that situation for a few sessions. Did anyone write the important password down? No? Did anyone remember it from a month ago real time? No. Hmm. Interesting. It’s quite possible of course that someone did write it down. This is good. Rewarding noting things down by bypassing big dangerous things is good. And it can be a big dangerous thing because you explicitly told them how to bypass it.
Using tumblr slang around real people makes for some interesting miscommunication
*points to dumpster* same energy
My poor co-worker: wat
Me: the fire alarm testing is giving me war flashbacks
Me: from like, dormlife
My long suffering therapist: we’ve talked about this
Me: asdfghjjhgfgj
Sister: how are you doing that with your mouth
*in a complete deadpan* I am literally crying right now
I’ve started using more odd and specific threats I’ve seen on tumblr like “i’m going to steal your pancreas for making that pun” or “if you eat my leftovers I will cut the toes out off all of your socks” my friends think it’s hysterical and people my parents age usually give me a frightened “you’ll WHAT?” oddly old people also find it hysterical and usually have witty comebacks
threatening to cut the toes off of socks is the scariest threat by far

This reminds me of a party I went to last year. I was standing with some friends, chatting, and someone said something that indirectly implied that sexism exists. Some trivial recounting of the basic facts of daily life for most women. Something so mild, so uncontroversial, so mundane that I don’t even remember what it was.
Suddenly, this man standing on the outskirts of our conversational circle piped up with “actually, I think men are more discriminated against than women these days.”
All conversation died.
I turned to look at him and he had this smug, insufferable grin on his face, relishing this moment, expecting us to waste our time and energy refuting this ridiculous thing he had just said.
The Devil’s Advocate was among us.
And, in my mind, I saw the next 15+ minutes playing out. The parade of facts and statistics in a vain attempt to defend ourselves, our gender, and to prove that misogyny is real. The glib, snide denials from some shithead who is getting off on our pain and frustration. The Gish Gallop of bullshit that would take a whole evening to properly dismantle. It was depressing and overwhelming. I hated it. I had to kill it before it began.
So I looked him dead in the eye and I said “OK,“ shrugged, and just walked away.
Nothing I have ever said to another human being has ever been so crushing. As I walked away, I watched the smug grin vanish and confusion and anxiety set in. The rest of the group turned their backs to him and carried on as if he had never spoken - as if he was invisible. He was still staring at me when I walked over to another friend and told her what he had said. I pointed him out for her and made direct eye contact with him while we both laughed.
tl;dr: Don’t feed the troll. Let it perish, cold and hungry, in the wasteland of your indifference. It is weak and you are strong. Live your best life.
Harley & Ivy
This is why I love them!
Harley is an abuse survivor of course she’d wreck this dude!!!
Can I just say how much I love the implications here? Harley and Ivy are known public figures. People know who they are, and recognize them. And this kid knows that, despite being violent criminals, they’re safe enough to go to for protection. Ivy is dead certain that the Batfamily will be okay with them intervening to protect a kid. That has some intersting implications - either she knows damn well where the lines lie and that this is overriding enough to get her a pass, or (more likely, given the first bit) this has come up before.
one of my favorite tropes is villains acting heroically not because the other villain is a threat to them or because it benefits them, but because they have standards
Just because you’re a villain doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole.

I just realized that blog histories are gonna be this century’s equivalent of letters, so in 60 years when someone on here is a famous author and dies, their blog and chat records are gonna get published like a person’s letters are today and that’s a horrifying thought
Everyone will get their turn with James Joyce in hell
God imagine how all these posts about traps and shit are gonna look in 100 years time when our grandchildren are reading our collected letters
Something along the lines of what you read casually mentioned with like, every single poet involved in the First World War – “confused by his sexuality even into early adulthood”
“Traps are fuckin gay bro” “IT’S OK AS LONG AS THEY’RE CUTE”

Dont do this to me
Hot take: on a scale of nerd vs jock, LARPing is a more jockish activity then fantasy football.
LARPing: people going outside and being physically active, requires working as a team with people
Fantasy Football: poindexters on the computer, playing with stats
What’s funny is that this actually happened.
I’m unfamiliar with this story please elaborate
Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis.
Did he survive?
Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).
His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up
Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed
Those are the eyes of a man who saw satan and asked for his number

Have lots of female NPCs, NPCs of colour, physically-disabled NPCs... it's not too many, because they're not often represented and you're helping to fix the balance. Get your players used to NPCs that aren't white able-bodied men, so that in other games they play, they'll ask why there isn't that diversity.
If you are a player, also remember to play all of these kinds of characters. Playing a physically disabled character can be a nice change for veteran players (it’s something I really need to do at some point)
the biggest lie, i think, the internet perpetuates about D&D is that a skinny little twink of a bard just needs to roll a nat 20 to seduce a dragon
like a dragon…a creature with more wealth and power than any other creature on the planet…a creature who is easily an 11/10 when they deign to take humanoid form…would look at your skinny little 8 STR half-elf Bard whose own father doesn’t even love them and go…yeah I’d like to fuck that
Counterpoint, my good man:
Dragons fuck
Dragons fuck, clearly, but not just any joe blow schmoe with a big Charisma stat. If I’m Joseph J Dragon sitting on a small hill of gold and jewels I’m not gonna waste my time boning every monsterfucking tiefling twink with a lyre. I would have standards.
Counter-counterpoint: dragons are SUPER horny
Counter-counter-counterpoint: even if dragons are SUPER horny they’ve got better prospects than spindly little bards!!!! They could be off fucking cloud giants or beholders or planetars!!!! They could be having sex with kraken in the middle of the ocean or fire giants in the mouth of an erupting volcano!
There is a wealth of sexual excess and opportunity available to dragons; so much that they do not need to be slumming it with an adventurer who hasn’t washed his ass in a month and a half and is probably covered in kobold blood by the time they get to the dragon’s lair!
Seriously!!!
I don’t care how many times you cast Charm Monster, the Elder Dragon who has probably slept with more princesses than there are princedoms is not going to bite! When you have bedded the most beautiful mortals on the Prime Material Plane on a pile of gold and jewelry you are not gonna be looking twice at any MOTHERFUCKEr who can’t at least True Polymorph to make things interesting
Xbox user, Neil Andrew Pike (Zero Fox) had the shock of his life when experimenting with his new Xbox Kinect camera. He saw a shadow like figure to his left. Very creepy! The Kinect camera system will prompt you when a new person is in the room with you, this phenomena however is in most cases dismissed as a glitch by most users if playing alone. To the horror of some gamers around the world, when unboxing their new hardware and checking out the various modes on their Kinect, they have seen some truly unexplainable eerie figures standing in the room with them.

It’s a well established fact that various fantasy races like to have interracial sex (yes, even orcs. The ritual gangrape thing can go die. They just like fucking non-orcs sometimes). But there’s no reason why the beauty standards have to be the same between races. A fat middle aged guy might be really mediocre by human standards. But for elves, visible aging takes absolutely forever and is a sign of great wisdom and fat is hard to accumulate when you live an active forest lifestyle, have a mostly vegetable diet and your treehouse is 300 steps off the ground, so all the elves think he’s a hunk. Meanwhile, this elf dude he’s hitting on is youthful and leanly muscular, with blond hair and a tan..because he’s an elf, they’re all youthful, being outside almost all the time gets you blond hair and a tan really fast and the amount of treeclimbing they do means everyone is leanly muscular. So they each think they’re both mediocre people and the other is highly attractive. This knowledge is useful for worldbuilding, roleplaying, comedical purposes or the intersection of the three.
I had an NPC in a campaign and if the campaign would have gone on the players could have discovered that she, while being really pretty by human and elf standards, felt really ugly because she’s a half-orc with a strength of 9.
