Looking at your character sheet, sighing, and going under the table
A few minutes later the DM gives you inspiration

@Canageek ya exactly - CR is just a numerical mess that ppl get super hung up on, when it's really just a ballpark estimate of toughness

real tabletop adventure balance is making risk/reward well-telegraphed, rather than ensuring that every encounter is going to fit into a perfect difficulty curve that challenges the players but never too much

let players decide what they're up for, and face down the dragon that's five levels higher than them with a solid plan and an escape route

old castles/castle ruins are cool as fuck

oh lawd he comin

#TorgEternity is the only non-social #ttrpg I know that dedicates paragraphs to playing #nonbinary, #genderfluid and #transgender characters.

1/ Reality Storms may transform you into someone closer to your current ideal self (including radical body changes).

2/ Your Soul is visible in the GodNet, not your body. The mismatch may attract attention from the (very medieval) Cyberchurch authorities.

It's not huge and I don't know how it will turn out, but it definitely looks interesting.

#Dragonlet is spinning in circles trying to get a look at the picture of Buzz Lightyear he *knows* is on the back of his pull-up.

yall make me wanna be a better person and tbh that's the best one can expect of friends.
or at the very least it's one of the best human qualities.

Writing about Elspeth for Card Kingdom.

Someone was very clever, naming her spear Godsend. (God-send, because it was a gift from Heliod; God's-end, because she used it to kill Xenagos.)

My D&D group asked for the Aboleth's pronouns.

Of course, they have ancestral memory and therefore ancestral identity, so the answer is a bit complicated for those who don't experience that. Not so much non-binary as non-singular. In this particular Aboleth's case, it was literally a plural form of 'he/him'.

Take that, grammar prescriptivists.

Thinking of taking the character creation system from Mongoose Traveller and converting it for GURPS.

Idle thought: it is known that most D&D campaigns don't make it up to high levels; they tend to end up stopping around level 7 or 8, according to Mike Mearls, for various reasons -- people move away, or there's not enough time, or the DM wants to stop DMing, etc. I suspect that this is also true of streamed campaigns; lots and lots of those end up fading or vanishing or stopping. I wonder if the proportions are the same?

Blasters:

Because why leave a sucking chest wound when you could leave a smoking chest wound...

Oh no. Oh dear. People are discussing Battletech socioeconomics in something other than fearful whispers. Do they want to summon Cthulhu? That's how you summon Cthulhu without needing to bother running a cult.
