Hey, thanks! I think each one took me a couple hours? These were all made before my wife and I had a baby and during the pandemic, so I had a little more time back then.

I actually really enjoy thinking about what my character is wearing. It helps me visualize the adventure and setting. My longest running 5e character was a dwarven wizard archaeologist who had been banished from his hold, named Drustan Green. I started with him having a well-worn green cloak...

If possible let's try to focus on new ideas and not drag up the o-word. Thanks y'all!

I don't disagree with what you're saying but it's not the purpose of this thread.

I was just thinking about this too. A machine people who require the consumption of gold to support their circuit brains not recognizing organic beings as "living." Almost treating war as a mining operation.

A discussion in another thread made me start brainstorming fun (and not stereotypical) ways to design "warlike" people in RPG settings. Orcs and Klingons may have been novel in their time, but the trope of an entire species sharing the quality of "warlike" is, at this point, a tired one. So...

I think rude behavior is pretty easy to define and identify.

Even still, none of that justifies treating a worker rudely.

Chronosome's song about Nutkinland always pops up in my head. (Hi DocMidnight and Chronosome if you're still around! - Stuporhero)

This thread just reminded me of another roommate of mine from college. On weekends and evenings he worked in a movie theater. He was ripping tickets when some guy said to his son, "That's why you should stay in college..." It shows that you literally do not know the story of the person you are...

I've had this happen a few times in my campaign. Usually it's because a class's mechanics don't match what the player really wants. In a 5e Arcana Unearthed game, a player switched from being a Witch to a Greenbond. We were all learning about the classes for the first time, and the player had...

Sorry your wife had some rough interactions today Morrus, that really stinks. A roommate of mine worked for Starbucks and would regularly tell me horror stories of customer entitlement. I really wish folks would prioritize treating each other like human beings rather than prioritizing their own...

I like this!

I wonder if this is much different than other hobbies or media. I know in the world of literature there's constant debate and shifting definitions about what "literature" even is, compared to "fiction" or "genre fiction." (I'm of the opinion it's all literature.) Never mind "young adult...

Sorry, I'll back myself out of this conversation.

I see what you are saying, but unless you are explicitly clear about what you mean by Culture War and "sides," a lot of folks are going to assume you're just repeating the same nonsense ideas being spouted by whatever intolerant person has the spotlight.

The fact that you are using the term "sides" makes me think you're still repeating others' biased ideas. What are these sides???

You can't post the former and then a minute later post the latter. You agree with me that the whole idea of "tribalism" and "culture wars" is a made-up conceit promoted by those who are manipulating others' emotions for profit and power? Then show it in your actions. Show it in your posts. Stop...

Come on man, think about what you are saying. Give yourself a little more credit than this. A struggle against intolerance is not a war. Anyone calling it a war is trying to escalate the emotions of folks they want something out of: power, money, clicks, etc.

FrogReaver, I think you are an intelligent guy. So it makes me sad to see you fall into this same trap. There are no tribes, dude. That's a made up idea by people who want to gain power. Folks are folks. Some are similar to you and some are not. Anyone who's telling you that you are better than...
