In this thread alone: I get that you believe this is no big deal for other people, but you don’t get to decide that on behalf other people! If you insist on doing so anyway, especially in a manner that can’t be preemptively mitigated, you are doing so at the expense of other people’s agency...

For my rebuttal to this ridiculously untenable stance, see my previous posts. My rule of thumb is simple: Willfully ignoring people’s desire not to be caused distress by your actions toward them is profoundly disrespectful. (As are all forms of social domination.) Because, you see, you’re...

Whew. I’ve finally got a judgement typed up. But, since it turns out I’m the tiebreaker, I think I’ll sleep on it and give it a final editing pass when I’m awake again. Hang in there, folk!

I would probably have known that if I had kids.

What can I say? We were munchkins, looking for any edge we could get.

Sometimes the turn is important to the work. For example, there is a classic novel whose final four words are (in my estimation) among the most potent four words in literature. They carry the weight of the whole novel. But only if you don’t see them coming. I’d tell you what that book is, but...

There was one. You could track across stone surfaces due to the slightly different temperature of the footprints. At least, that’s the way we played.

That’s the set I learned D&D with. Good solo tutorial (DM-less) adventure in there.

Huh. I don’t even remember that there was a twist in the first novel.

I don’t see how the first example is fundamentally different than the second. People get introduced to things at different times. Some of them weren’t even alive when they were new. They don’t deserve to experience the same wonder their predecessors did?

i read all of them except the posthumous ones. My most vivid memory is that there were a stretch of three books where nothing really happened. In one of them, literally nothing happened until the last few pages. I would read the last books, but it’s been so long, I’d have to start the series...

I have to wonder: How is it possible that both of these entries have a character named Matthias? Is this a glitch in the Matrix?

If they don’t remain aware, then they’re really just sleeping. Possibly with their eyes open. I will grant that they should probably have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks while trancing, though.

The entire industry is built on it.

Because elves aren’t powerful enough without it? Elves remain aware while trancing. That alone is worthwhile, no matter how long rests work.

Pretty sure that’s just a lens artifact. Digitally added, of course.

Strictly speaking, the variant from the end of Loki season 1 learned how from Sylvie, but he definitely isn’t capable of grand-scale enchantment by that point. Of course, time has no meaning in the TVA… Exactly that. Hank Pym should be added to the list of morally flawed Marvel heroes.

We’re reading the same words, but apparently not speaking the same language. That first sentence, in its entirety, sets no limitation on the types of activity that that can be engaged in during a short rest. There is no wording that indicates exclusivity present. Indeed, the very next sentence...

Might as well also knock Hank Pym for abusing his wife.

That could explain all of the snow. He might have opened the Casket of Ancient Winters. The question would be: Why would he do the spell? And how could he do it without enchanting everybody?
