The Domestic Nerdling

A collection of nerdy ramblings

The difference between intelligence and wisdom is that a intelligent person can solve problems but a wise person can avoid them

[thedomesticnerdling]

This shower thought is strangely helpful explaining the difference it these two stats in D&D...

As promised, here is my guide for Magical Plants.

I know it took long, I’ve got my studies to blame for that.

There’s also a variant rule on the first page for those of you who want to use this alongside my Creating Magic Items guide.

Picture from Google.

Enjoy! :)

One of the lads was over at my London flat the other day, and I Instagrammed a picture of him and said, “Look at this cutie,” and a million outlets reported that I was coming out as gay. I’m not gay, but two of my mates came out when I was 15 and it was a joy to support them because, as a group, we are all secure enough in who we are. I’m certainly not going to stop calling my mates cuties and gorgeous, because they are cuties and they are gorgeous. 

I’m not someone who’s remotely perturbed by male intimacy.

Literally if all straight men were like this the world would be 100% less awful

I found the polar opposite of toxic masculinity and I love it.

Fundamentalist fearmongering video: This dungeon “master” is given complete control and “players” must do whatever dark things are demanded of them.

Real DM: Please, just cross the river. You’ve all tried to seduce the catfish and it didn’t work. I’m begging you.

High Elf Rogue by Matt Hodorowski

[probablyquestionablerpgideas]

A city where necromancy is legal and actually a part of every day society. So long as you follow a specific set of laws to make it seem a bit more ethical, you’re allowed to use it to do anything from helping you in a fight, to helping you run your business. In fact, there are entire shops or restaurants where the staff are undead. Laws to handle the undead could be things like:

• The corpses used cannot have flesh on them for sanitary reasons, especially in the case of businesses. Those who raise undead who are more than just bone will face a fine dependent on their situation.

• Similar to how people can donate their bodies to science, or donate their organs to those in need, people can choose to donate their bodies to necromancers before their death.

• If it is unknown if a person wished for their body to be donated after death, and they have been dead for 150+ years, you’re allowed to raise them. If next of kin is still alive, you must get permission from them first.

• You must take care of the undead in your charge. Keep them clean and unbroken. If one of them starts to get too much wear and tear, you are required by law to respectfully lay them back down to rest. Failure to do this will get you a hefty fine.

I’m making a town like this and the tavern will be called the Skelet-Inn

[probablyquestionablerpgideas]

Fucking brilliant

[firebirdeternal]

I mean, take it a step further, if you aren’t sure if someone would want their body used after their death, call them up and ask them. It’s less taxing to cast a Commune with Dead spell than to raise an active skeleton, and this way you know for sure whether they mind, so there’s no ethical ambiguity. 

Most local dead consider the idea of skeletal labor completely normal, so they tell the necromancer that they waive all rights to the corpse for public work purposes as a formality and then go back to their afterlife.

For private employ however it’s customary to pay a small stipend to either a living relative or a charity of the ghost’s choice in exchange for their corpse’s labor. 

[crazy-pages]

Due to the prevalence of public works done by skeletons, Necromancers are seen in much the same light as government functionaries. They’re stereotyped as mild mannered people who do an important service but are also really boring at parties.

(Some) Of Fantasy’s Many Subgenres

(science fiction version)

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” -Dr. Seuss

Shows & Films depicted (from top to bottom): Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One, Pan’s Labyrinth, Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring, Beauty & The Beast, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Game Of Thrones, American Gods, Supernatural, Wings Of Desire, Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Concept: The Avengers doing a body positivity ad in which they all show off their various disabilities/ scars/ imperfections. Tony gets a close-up shot of all the scars on his chest. Steve showing the stretch-marks that were caused by the serum and never really went away. Bucky stands tall without his prosthetic on. Clint signs in ASL over at the camera. Natasha shows off the ugly scar that runs straight up her spine. Bruce just stands there in his underwear, showing off his love handles and his lovely round tummy and smiling like a sunbeam. Thor takes off his eyepatch and then winks with his one good eye. They all stand next to one another, laughing, completely comfortable. The slogan of the ad says ‘no one is perfect- not even a superhero’.

While the garden-variety ‘treasure chest’ mimic has claimed the lives of many a novice dungeoneer, experienced explorers are unlikely to fall for its trap. In truth, plenty of beginners know to check for chest mimics these days, thanks to the many helpful pamphlets and training seminars that have been distributed on the topic.

This is why the swarm-type mimic, which most often imitates a pile of coins, is so dangerous. Even veteran adventurers are wont to let their guards down once a chest is proven to be mundane - only to be caught unawares when the chest’s contents turn out to be a monster! To make matters worse, the swarm of tiny mimics is stronger, quicker and more agile than the larger, solitary version. If you should encounter one of these, make sure to deploy your strongest spells immediately, before it can overwhelm your defenses.
