whenever i think of mage hand i think of link to the past where that big hand can fall on you and take you back to the beginning of the dungeon

"you already have misty step so dimension door is worthless" is one of those takes that really makes me wonder if the person even plays dnd
it's either 90% does not play dnd or 10% oh you literally never made it to level 7
it's right up there with "i totally play tier 3/4 and wisdom saves are useless" level of what the fuck
probably 75% of resilient is wis, the other 25% are con lol

there might be an argument that it's actually skewed the other way, depending on how people feel about shit like war caster

shoutout to war caster, with most people not knowing how s/m works war caster getting abused to fuck

one of my players is older than dirt and retired
i saw a meme a long time ago that was basically like "traveller players in their teens want action and adventure, old players are docking their rust buckets and checking for landing and weapons permits and trying to call up a guy to perform maintenance"

"If you don't like T2K for mechanical reasons, I would recommend BRP. The percentage rolls really help evoke the tactile nature of STALKER"

what the fuck lol

delta green in the forgotten realms but everyone is just like "obviously a wizard did it, you fucking fool. there is no conspiracy"

astarion rolled way better stats this run

maybe he can hit stuff this time, too xD

did psychic damage to myself typing this out so now you all have to read it too

the main advantage in having two wizards in a party is that they can be extremely petty with one another or against others
if you're wondering what i've been doing the last two hours the answer is: forty githyanki warriors
spell menzoberranzan correctly: challenge level, impossible

ngl this is the second time i've run bg3 loosely as a ttrpg and i'm still not entirely sure how to run korrilla as an interesting side npc

hilarious how she can be used as a deus ex machina if you really bungle it in-game tho

countercharm is like pissing into a tsunami when you're fighting against a dragon with low wis losers lol

also not sure how i feel about college of dance bard

it's a real good subclass but some of the stuff is some real non-synergistic stinkers you might have to multiclass to get benefits from

still unarmored defense is so good that the rest of dazzling footwork doesn't matter xD

tandem footwork has made it so even if i roll like shit across the board i only roll Half Like Shit TM

grossly op shit you get at level 6

if they had made bardic damage work with grappler tho... not only would dance bard replace wizard in 90% of cases they could also take elements monks most of the time too

you're not really a monk tho (which is fine, since your ba is to hand out inspiration like candy anyway)

but if you ever make it to steel wind strike things will probably be great

also if i'm rocking an unarmed bard then it opens up my attunement slots more, which is probably an underappreciated blessing
githyankis cum when they say "my prince" or somesuch
if they make a bg4 it should be spelljammer with giff space hippos 🦛
this post is going places
choosing to fuck off and not do work and play something instead
trying to grunt my way through this 3.5 adventure and i gotta say: raw rules regarding rest/healing... still not feeling it
i can't believe people played like this, this is fucking awful lmao

i am 9000% convinced that no one just played from the phb because this is the worst fucking thing

i bet this is like every other old ass rpg where the splatbooks offer some incredible boost to power that just breaks the core systems apart

i can't even cast cure light wounds man

that shit is level 5

so is 1-4 just the worst fucking dice lottery

people think this game is good
you know what i'm not wasting my weekend on this lmao fuck this

i am told 13th age is made by 3.5/4e people, but presumably more "modern"

might leaf through that

not wanting a pc to die because you like them: ❌

not wanting a pc to die because you hate rolling new pcs in mythras 2e: ✅

the real power of hirelings/henchmen/npcs in this game is to avoid having to look up a bunch of skill stats

"no, YOU go first"

free action go fuck yourself
also smosh filming in widescreen now? xD
"d-list rebels" is such a good burn
it's always good when a producer has to yell something like "SO ABOUT THE GAME YOU'RE ALL PLAYING AS PART OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL JOB" when it goes too far off the rails

my dice absolutely know the genre of the games i'm playing

mythras: "yeah sure you intercept that guy in the tavern and clock him in the head with a tankard, no problemo"

delta green: "no, actually your graduate degree in computer science means you don't know what a keyboard is"

mister mittens is a grumpy old white cat but the cat emoji i used is an orange cat so i imagine him as an orange tabby

gaslit myself

wait mongoose released a new campaign thing? every publisher notifies me when shit comes out, like a dozen times per thing

mongoose just like "haha yeah whatever man"

whenever cyberpunk red gets a new free dlc update they and dtr both email me like 3 times each
this post is for an audience of like 3 people max but mixing mass effect with star wars in traveller was a Good Idea TM

i would add that my only mild regret is that i set the star wars universe in-game date to about 4000 years bby so i don't have krogan charging entire stormtrooper barracks or some shit

but i got sith and mandalorians out the ass, so

there's some real opportunity for some yuuzhan vong and reaper fuckery but let's see how it plays out

can you believe going back in time and being like "ahhh, the first jedi purge"

the jedi: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FIRST"

"You get one success for every 2 or 4 rolled and two successes for every 6 rolled."

what the fuck lol

i really do like the idea of an immune/immortal/lucky guy who doesn't have any other skulls but they're like "okay, just go in and disarm the bio-bomb"
imagine if you had mind control but only to win party games

not sure how much i like resolve in prowlers and paragons

also i need every point buy system to stop doing the colorblind gurps thing it's weird

it does seem to have a good spread of low/high tier play with their point buy system and just rolling dice pools of whatever trait, as opposed to other less bound systems that have you add a characteristic + a skill design

also appreciate how even though it's emulating high powered supers it nods at heroes being able to die and it's not hard to weld on top of

i like that luring is a specific combat mechanic. very cartoon/comic book to get the big bad bruiser to hit the explosive barrel behind you, spider-man style
i will say, though, that their character sheets are a pita to condense down for multiple pcs on the bottom of a page

lower tiers because it's too strong: ❌

lower tiers so you don't have to roll as many dice: ✅

protip for people who make tables for rpgs

number them even if you don't intend for people to roll on them, because someone will probably want to roll on them

@worthlessbums emojis are font dependent, so may have been white in a different doc viewer
@worthlessbums I think it was @lordof1 who went with:
> a dishevelled street urchin approaches with a message... It says 'get on with the fucking game'
@DarkestKale @lordof1 maybe the game is absolutely cocking it up tho
@DarkestKale @worthlessbums this definitely sounds like me
@worthlessbums considering how fucking useless the rebels are in star wars, 'd-list' is pretty harsh
