Yeah, yeah… I was most DEFinitely born in the wrong time, place, reality, you name it. 🤔 The Forgotten Realms is where it’s at. I’d take fighting off the Absolute, Mindflayers & a Netherbrain, and having to make camp each night with several possibly-magical beings, over what’s happening on present-day Earth any day. At least I’d know where I stood.
Currently, I’m not sure if it’s safe for my (Canadian) teenager to fly to Florida with her sports team & Coaches in a few months or not. It’s not unrealistic to think that something unsafe may occur while on such a trip & to THAT particular state. What kind of ridiculous life is this? She just wants to play competitive volleyball and I just want to go to support her & our club. 🤔🥺😮💨
This is why I would WAY prefer to live in Baldur’s Gate, circa 1492 DR! Every day would be an Adventure (albeit a stressful one) and every time you wake up you’d be thrilled & grateful to just be ALIVE, the “Wildlife” would be inCREDible (I mean, where else can one stumble upon a common kitchen Cat, a domestic Dog, a sassy Tressym, Imps, Quasits, Gnolls, regular sewer Rats, tricksy Cranium Rats, chit-chatty Intellect Devourers, “Orin the Red” - face it, she’s her own beast! - and huge red Githyanki Dragons), and each meal would taste better than the last because of how much work you had to go through to either physically hunt it down OR shop around for it all at street vendor locations OR by simply preparing each one from scratch with little equipment (no Microwaves in ol’ Waterdeep, for instance), and…and…and I would really just LOVE to get away from the sorry state of things as they are now, in real life, in 2025. 😩
Anywho…
IF anyone is concerned for my shaky mental well-being, please send an adorably sassy vampire & his precious wizard hubby my way…Mama needs a portal to Faerûn, like, now! 💕🤣💕 Kidding (not kidding)!
