Fun fact about druids - in their tradition pretty much every break from the norm, like writing things down or cutting herbs wrong, was punishable by being clubbed to death.
Fun fact two: In France Druids were exterminated by Romans with help of Bards. Bards were basically a competting sect of the same faith with Druids and they sided with Romans to save their own skins and eliminate their rivals.
Downloaded, I always welcome new games to try.
Considering I’ve been running 5e since the Plague Year, I wouldn’t call myself a hater. I did notice, however, this very pattern whenever I voice concerns about anything with the rules - first people assume whatever flaw or exploit I point out, has been used in my group and then their solution is always to leave the group or kick someone out of it, and if it didn’t happen in my group, then it means it doesn’t ever happen. It’s a catch-22 debating with these people.
One of my favorite things about this page is that it can be read as intended, let to right, or can be read right to left like a manga, and it still tells an internally coherent, but entierly opposite story.
You should consider that Forgotten Realms wasn’t really the default setting before 5e.
In 4e it was Points of Laght/Dawn World/Netir Vale which was designed from bottom up to be easy to put in anything you want and it is credited for codifying on paper worldbuilding principles that are as wold as fantasy itsel (the poitns of light-style world). In 3e era it was Generic Setting, which was just Greyhawk without any words that would make them have to pay Gygax royalties. In TSR there was no default setting, they all just coexisted.
WotC turned Realms into a default setting by pretending any unique stuff doesn’t exist or trying to make it “the default” - look at Gnolls. The “hyenas turned into half-demons from eating Yeenoghu’s blood” thing could work for Realms (it’s a new lore invented for this edition), but WotC just HAD to try to force it on ever other world they own, goig so far to retcon two Gnoll bodyguards in Sinsiter Secret of Saltmarsh into Hobgoblins, just to keep the illusion Realms have nothing unique going for it.
For me it’s playing Warhammer Fantasy. Where you roll a peasant and die of cholera.
Wait, is that person in the last panel, by any chance, the Paladin lady from Neverwinter Nights?
I’m seriously having fun making the builds, this may grow into a backlog similiar to d&d characters…
If we’re specifically talking about kid’s first bike, which the starter set or quickstart is an equivalent to, then looking down to people who want training wheels sounds like an asshole move.
I do like to have an adventure that shows me how basic beats of the game are supposed to sync up and how its suppsoed to be balanced, instead of having to guess based on the theory. Do you also look down on people who say your kid’s first bike should have training wheels?
Thait is reassuring, thank you

it looks harder than it actually is.
You explained the part I got, I don’t get the Phineas & Ferb or the title.
That, though, raises another question, because if the conspiracy theories are so easy to debunk that no rational person believes them, why worry about their existence?
Most people aren’t rational, that’s why.
I don’t get it.
there’s like ten different ways people call the update - OneD&D, OD&D, ODD, 5.5, 5e 2024, 5.24. We have to wait and see which one will stick, I just hope it’s not Od&D because that one was already used for original White Box.
If I had a penny every time Marvel made beefy Russian guy with whips, I would have two pennies. Which isn’t much but it’s weird there’s two of them.
I did not expect to find Angela has connections to THAT Guild, if I’m reading the hinds correctly.
So what I get from this is that Tyr is a bro and Volo sucks.
