Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game that lets you live out such fantasies as:
• Having money
• Making close friends as an adult
• Travelling the world without crippling debt
• Being able to change the world
• Getting better at something with practice
• Getting 8 hours of sleep each night

@dgar

That last one only applies for long resting. Short rest (unless you’re an elf) requires you to roll hit dice to gain back HP.

I have no idea of why I found this important to point out.

@Em0nM4stodon @LoganFive @michaelgemar @dgar

As game master, I gave the party an NPC cleric as nobody wanted to play the healer.

He had them sign a magical contract, that the players didn't realize could let him undo his healing if they didn't pay him.

He took wounds off them, put them on himself, then inflicted them as an attack on others to heal himself.

That was a fun NPC.

Show threadMichael GemarFeb 18, 2024

@pseudonym @Em0nM4stodon @LoganFive @dgar I like the notion that healing and wounding are two sides of the same coin.

What system was this?

Yeah, was probably d&d 3. Maybe 3.5 Was many years ago. A bit of GM fiat may have been involved.

Sleeps been a bit hard lately. It takes a lot of energy and self care. I have honestly having more fun just sitting with a tree. Or a bee Or a cat! But I don’t know if I can get 8 hours sleep. I think I need to just get more exercise. But I do love the fun of it. And I love community! There a TTRPG group I love but I’ve been busy.

Have 3 or 4 coworkers that will usually but not reliably help with tasks, after arguing about it for an hour,

A boss that gives you vague and misleading assignments that are much harder than described,

A large number of folk that will do whatever they can to interfere with the completion of your tasks.
