d% is what I usually see

I always divide by two and round up for d3

Yes but he serves a different community

Or been hiding their knowledge of their part in the problem longer than a lot of people have been alive

Been a while since I saw a reference to exceptional strength

Not enough robot arms to be Magnus Burnsides

Not to just keep replying to you but it’s also very doable online if you can’t find players where you are

You can’t. You can do better sometimes but there will still be hiccups. As far as I’m aware the groups most likely to be actually consistent have been playing together since they were in school.

This isn’t meant to be discouraging at all! The opposite in fact. Don’t let those hiccups, common or rare, stop you. Just be aware of their possibility and ready to adapt. Ability to adapt is the most useful tool in the GM toolbox at the table and approaching it.

While reading this comment I had the thought of a stoic warrior type that was very much an outsider to the society he was mostly operating in but very open to learning about the things that are new to him. Occasionally he would really embrace some part of that culture and make his own references to it.

I’d probably call him Jaxson and get away with it until he said indeed.

No, but I’m gonna run his code anyway

Or even just a board game night.

Maybe it just means boring guys. Drinking is a secondary activity, not a primary one.

The given answers, and so they can act like there wasn’t that much of what happened.

No one can watch all that, so they’ll claim that violence is cherry picked and it’s the mostly peaceful protest they’ve been claiming the whole time.

It’s still a lie but it’s one they’re giving “evidence” to their supporters for.

I made a villain probably more than 15 years ago at this point that, to this day, any player who was in that campaign will promptly tell me “fuck you” if I mention him or do a little flourish with my finger.

Philip the Brigand! He was born of several suggestions for memorability. A title, not just a name. Personality flair (such as, but not limited to, the flourish), and a knack for escape being the three I remember. Not plot armor, for sure. A great eye for knowing when the battle wasn’t going his way though, which was usually shortly after ruining the party’s day. Like when he loosed a rust monster that destroyed the fighter’s treasured sword and also broke the monk’s arm.

Mostly they pictured an incredibly annoying version of Autolycus from Xena/Hercules. Not unfair.

What kind of backwards, boring ass DM does that?

Did y’all form up another group without them?

Yes, that’s nuts. I used to be very happy to have less than one and a half megs on something wider than a deck of cards. Now you’re talking about terabytes on something the size of a pinky fingernail. I could store a half dozen in a pocket in my wallet without noticing them. That’s a lot of storage.

For the record, only 6-10 games is also about 5-10 games more than I could store on one of those floppies, and if it was one it was an old game. It’d be akin to putting Halo: CE (not remastered or anything, original) on a micro SD.

So, yeah, storage is plentiful and readily available.

Nah, portable devices use portable storage. The space available in microSD is nuts

And readily available resources. No need to put effort into space saving tricks when space is so easy to come by

They do and I’d love to have a better method available to us.

However the meme is a little off.

One party doesn’t give a fuck about you, the other actively wishes you harm and works to that end.

They’re not “my team” but they’re well past “the lesser of two evils” given the other one.

Your spells are dadisms

“Walk it off” - cure light wounds

“If I told you once I told you a thousand times…” - command

“Great job, kiddo” - bless

“What you’re gonna wanna do is…” - guidance

You get the idea

I didn’t want to come off dismissive asking how often you’re talking about those specific kinds of plants but maybe it’s a relevant question after all lol
