im so glad charlie angus is like so solid on everything. I don't think I've yet to be disappointed by his response to current events.

I’ve been following him on twitter and in the media/in the house of commons for years. Charlie Angus has a consistently admirable moral compass.

He’s definitely one of the better politicians in Canada.

question: why not just use the tabletop roleplaying system developed for dragon age?

hi! basically there were a couple of reasons. the first is just that i’m much more familiar with d&d rules, and i really like fifth edition. it runs really smoothly & there’s a great balance between combat & rp. the second is that i looked into the official dragon age tabletop & played a couple of games & i just. didn’t like how it runs? i know a lot of people like it & i’m not saying it’s bad or anything, i just prefer the way d&d works. the different values of dice give you much more precision, apart from anything else, & i found the ‘stunts’ mechanic a little unwieldy & slowed combat down a lot.

& tbh there was a third reason, & that is i really wanted this campaign to be a chance for people to explore stuff not really touched on in canon. so i knew i’d have to make stuff up anyway (one of our party is a half-elf, half-dwarf), so why not just homebrew the whole thing so we can tailor it to what we want?

that was basically my thought-process, lmao. again, i’m not saying the official da tabletop is bad at all, i’m just more comfortable with & prefer d&d.

While its important to be aware about the recent shooting, please try not to post/reblog pictures of the assailant or post their name in full. Psychology experts have advised against reporting in this fashion as its been shown to have a trend of inspiring similar attacks and glorifying domestic terrorism in the eyes of those who have like-minded beliefs to the criminal. (Google "How the Media Inspires Mass Shooters", "The Psychology of Mass Killing", "Why the Media Shouldn't Name Shooters" etc)

I’ll try my best.

Thanks for the reminder.

thanks for the response! Makes a lot of sense. I've had good and bad experiences with the age system myself and love D&D, so you'll have no argument here!

np!
