In Curse of Strahd I’m playing Gaius, an arcane domain cleric. He was born in a lonely village covered in a strange fog, which he grew to have a phobia of; and there was always a feeling that he could never really connect with his fellow villagers, like he could look into their eyes and question...

About the PG-13 to R range as the default. Below that I’ll probably need an interesting premise to keep me engaged and above that there has to be a real point to including that sort of content beyond gratuitousness’ sake or “my realisms.”

This is a post on Enworld.

I’m guessing satyrs, harengon, fairies, and owlin all count.

Assuming libertarian free will makes people less interesting, not more. Both for real life people and fantasy folk and entities. Yes, I am more comfortable with my hypothetical child seeing violent imagery earlier than sexual imagery, in fact. Explaining why would probably take this into places...

Many, if not most, alignment arguments are caused by people refusing to acknowledge that the character they’re playing or their favorite character from another property is some flavor of neutral. Ravenloft domains where the Darklord is the direct cause of everything bad are boring, and Van...

Star Wars is an incomprehensible mess of mutually contradictory ideas smooshed together in a way that only highlights their incompatibility. I still love it for some reason, but let’s call a spade a spade. Also, we need to break free of the Galactic Empire era. Currently I haven’t seen anything...

I was thinking about this, though in the context of how primal, divine, arcane, and so on came about that individual spells. The history of magic in Tales of the Final Age is one of the “non-objective” parts of the setting; spellcasters, historians, and spellcasting historians have multiple...

Fiend summoning is widely, but not universally, banned. Sometimes you can get an exemption if there’s a pressing need and a proven containment plan, but that rarely happens. Of course, sometimes people summon a fiend without realizing it until too late, and different places have their own ideas...

Priests don’t always have cleric levels and don’t always have spells, but level 1-9 spellcasting isn’t the only way to portray a divinely gifted character.

Every so often I get a renewed interest in Ultima, so a conversion for Britannia would be appreciated. It’d have to rework how spell components work, and don’t even ask me how to implement playable gargoyles.

The concepts of the Lower Planes, Shadowfell, and Negative Energy Plane are blended into one, the Void. Something like the Blood War is present, but the main focus is all fiends’ war on mortals. EDIT: Reread the title and wanted to tie back to it. What I consider the “pro” is in the last...

I just hope “Sigil and the Outlands” will actually have some Outlands in it.

For Exult: Tales of the Final Age Elves are the guardians of Whisper, the primeval forest. Despite what image that might give, they actually aren’t shoot first and ask questions later; visitors are accepted as long as they don’t go too deep, and can even live permanently in the settlements...

And frequently varied within movies.

But no one asks “how is D&D?”.

Humans are douchsnozzles Aliens are douchsnozzles. (Counting goblins and such as aliens). The dead are douchsnozzles. Demons are douchsnozzles. The figments of your imagination are douchsnozzles. The gods are douchsnozzles. The elder gods are douchsnozzles. Think that covers it.

“So you made a supercomputer to simulate a world made entirely of cork?” “Yes!” “Why!?” “…Get out.”

Frankly, Rebels vs. Empire. I’m so thoroughly tired of that era and conflict (and I don’t consider Resistance vs First Order to be meaningfully different) that I have no interest in Andor even if it’s as good as everyone says.

Did the second accomplish anything? The way you tell it, it sounds like the dice won for them.
