Yes. Well, no. Well, sorta.
Rather than making races illegal, I defined what races were available in my last campaign because it was supposed to take place in a part of the world that had very specific limitations.
Primarily, there are no reptilian races in the area. This is because I want them to form their own empire elsewhere in the world, and I want that to be the second area of the campaign we play in with everyone playing a reptilian character.
IIRC the forge is like $15/month or something, which makes sense since I pay around that for my server on AWS, and I turn it off when it’s not in use.
Don’t forget owlbear rodeo.
Training wheels are useful tool for beginner cyclists, but not useful for advanced cyclists. Likewise, quantum ogres are a useful tool for beginner DMs, but not for seasoned DMs.
I hard disagree. Quantum baddies are useful no matter how seasoned a DM you are.
Quantum enemies are a technique you can use to help preserve the prep work you do as DM, and doubling the prep you do isn’t a mark of experience. Use it when appropriate, and avoid using when the story says you must.
I know this has been pointed out, but…
He has no experiance in ever fighting anyone or anything
Nooooope! He can fight. You’re an adventurer. Maybe you come from humble roots, but you are now a roaming mercenary who fights for money (and maybe a few other things). Make sure you can work with the rest of the party. Make sure you bring value to the group both in and out of a fight.
As for the character concept…
in a world with bards, there had to be critics too, right? So this character had a weekly column in some newsletters published from town to town (is that a thing?) and developed a reputation for being a snob. He barely ever hands out a score higher than 6 out of 10.
His only real talent seems to be intuitive analysis and articulate critique - skills that have helped him at what he does…
College of Eloquence Bard. Just don’t play him elequent. Instead, use his great powers for “evil” (not literal evil). To tear down the art of others and crush the confidence of his enemies into dust.
When Giants attack, he makes them feel small.
When Gods rage, he gives a solid, “meh…6/10. I’ve seen better.”
When Barbarians rampage, he makes them cry…
“It stinks!”
“Post names and addresses of jurors” is a really wordy way of saying “terrorism”. Because that’s what this is. Someone, or a small group, is trying to use fear to affect the decision making of our society.
That is textbook terrorism.
We need to start calling this shit what it is.
Then you’re voting authoritarian.
Don’t fool yourself. The math behind FPtP voting doesn’t end any other way if you vote 3rd party.
You do understand that the choice you are essentially voting for, if you don’t vote, is a fundamentalist dictatorship that will tell you how to live your life, and imprison you if you don’t obey, while taking your freedoms and wealth anyway even if you do. Yes?
Apathy is fine as long as both parties believe in running a democracy. The gop no longer does.
My only complaint with jerboa is that it keeps forgetting my login details.
I use a password manager. I don’t know what my lemmy password is. I just know it’s really long, so logging in requires owning up a second app, searching for lemmy, copying my password, going back to jerboa, and then going through the login flow.
Well, parties don’t fight for what you want. They’re too big.
Representatives fight for you. That’s literally their job.
I have a congressional rep for the district I live in. I make sure to attend one town hall every year to make myself heard and let him know what I want him to fight for.
And even then, he has to take the wants and needs of roughly 130,000 people into account.
I’m not saying that you should let your kids starve. I’m saying that this situation has been engineered on purpose, and that it perpetuates itself by design.
If I could, I would stand in line for you. I can afford it.
But I can’t. Legally, I can’t.
One of the choices is literally a fascist dictator wannabe.
There is no third choice with a chance in Hell of winning.
For a lot of people “unpaid time off” isn’t a favor. You’re asking them to pay to vote.
Sorry, but voting is a civic duty.
Not a pastime.
Not a hobby.
Not a privilege.
A duty.
Republicans win when you don’t vote, and they get you to not vote by making it difficult, if not dangerous.
Just remember, not voting will only ever make things worse.
I cannot vote for you.
Privilege.
Not them tho, you. Your privilege is why you can’t understand it.
Are you determined to not have allies of any kind?
I get that your state is fucked, but as a resident of one of the other 49 states, my options to help are limited as long as we lack one of the the chambers of Congress since the gop is literally the problem here.
We could try actually following thru with campaign promises and helping them, but for some reason we dont.
That would be because we don’t have control of the House. It’s difficult to get work done when the side in control of the button that stops everything from working sits on the fucking button while shrieking racist epitaphs at the top of their lungs.
Incorrect. In FPtP, the presidential race has only two options. Anything else is a vote for the candidate you don’t want.
This has been proven mathematically.
The DNC is fucked and run by idiots, no argument. But voting as though you’re NOT running a FPtP election when you are actually running a FPtP election is so stupid there are no words in the English language profane enough to describe it.
The system works one way. You play the game, or you get played by the game. Voting third party for president or Senate is not how the game is played, like it or not.
You want change? Vote in your local elections. That’s where change starts. Do it enough, and get enough other people to do the same, and THEN you can change things up-ticket.
Play the game. Don’t get played. Don’t waste your vote. The other option these days is literally a fascist.
The only time I’ll vote 3rd party in a FPtP system is when one I agree with officially replaces one of the two major parties. Anything less is a wasted vote for president or senator.
Anything local though…
This.
History. Learn it.
Pay attention in class next time. It’s a concern because it happens quite frequently in first past post voting systems.
Voting for a right wing party like the DNC does not position you on the left
It does when the other choice is an actual Nazi.
You do realize that we can disagree on the details and still be on the same side, yes?
That all sounds like way too much work. You’re basically re-designing the entire game at this point.
IMO, your time would be better spent finding a system that already does all that. They do exist!
I would suggest maybe taking a look at 13th age, or some of the renaissance games like WWN and the like.
