D&D 5E Is Neil Gaiman Wrong?

[Guest 6801328]

D&D is one of an infinite number of ways to model a wildly unrealistic fictional world. Using it to try to explain other fictional worlds and characters, e.g. Aragorn, is akin to the Superman vs Mightymouse debate in Stand By Me.






Mightymouse would kick Superman’s @$$, of course.

That's the sort of joke that could introduce a metaphysics paper.

Whether this indicates the depth of the joke or the shallowness of the field of metaphysics is left as an exercise for the reader.

It's an artifact/relic.

It's the Machine of Lum the Mad, of course!

I thought it was Earthshaker.

You mean the same thing that happens when someone fails their Find More Snacks skill check? Gotcha.
