  • "Dude, it's a sleeping dragon. If I wake it up, it'll just be pissed at me. If I try and do anything while it's asleep, I'm scum. I get the horny bard jokes, but I'm a little offended you think so little of me.

    Besides, the spell only lasts 1 round. I can easily go 6 seconds without fucking. I just think about your god and I go flaccid."

  • Now I'm just upset that this image isn't the meme format. It looks so much better than two random characters going back and forth between two random still images. Even if they draw over Stevonnie, it would look better.

  • In Skies of Arcadia, you find the treasure trove of a legendary pirate that contains only a copper coin and a note saying "the real treasure is the friendship that led you here". The heroes are naturally upset that they're still broke. Luckily, it turns out the copper coin is recognisable as belonging to the legendary pirate, so it's worth a significant sum by itself.

  • Oh, you want your interpretation where they have your exact same desires? Granted. That alternative version made the exact same wish you did. It's selfish all the way down, so there is no version where someone made a more concrete wish and you still get nothing.

    You can't have it both ways. You can't have someone who is incredibly different but also exactly the same. It's a contradiction.

    Oh, and your curse isn't what would happen. It's just a bad fanfic plot device.

  • Sure, that works. Curse me harder, daddy. Because of you, I like it.

  • Granted. You get nothing. The alternate version of you was kind enough to wish for someone else's health and happiness, and wanted nothing for themself. Also, your curse is to know with certainty that not only are you not this superior version of yourself, but you've proven by your inherently selfish wish that you will never be that person.

  • I wish the genie is so bad at curses that everyone always enjoys being cursed by them.

  • Actually, he held the door closed so people couldn't get in. Very rude.

  • Not if you never get to play that character. Then they last forever.

  • When you find that sweet spot between funny and serious... A character that is a single really bad joke but fleshed out so much that people don't realise the joke until several sessions in... Ooh, that's the good stuff.

  • Every figure leading every cult of personality is now seen as an imposter pretending to be themselves. For example, people think some orange-faced lunatic keeps trying to get on stage at a Trump rally, but Trump himself just disappeared.

  • Just for fun, I wanna put forward my ideas of each player.

    Edgin is always coming up with shenanigans, to the point you forget how seriously he takes his backstory.

    Holga is absolutely the kind of player who plays a Barbarian. Snacking during play, letting the bard play the face, only kinda following along when people discuss magic but still with a clear place in the world.

    Doric is the new player. She picked a tiefling druid cause it seemed fun and magical, and said "can I turn into an owlbear?" in her first session, so the DM obviously said yes.

    Simon is the one who invited Doric because he has a crush on her. He tries to flirt with her irl by flirting in the game.

    I would argue that the group used to have a different DM, and Forge was the PC of the player who took over the DM's chair.

  • The entire speak with dead scene is how I'd run it as a DM, honestly. Especially the "I'm bad at math" bit.

  • You might be able to streamline the process by saying "fears of World War III" and letting them fill in the gaps themselves.

  • I first heard it as lawnmower. And either way, it's more about the structure than about getting every word right. If nobody could put their own spin on existing jokes, we never would have gotten Norm's version of the moth joke.

  • I was very careful in having him say "am I right in assuming" instead of "that means" for that part.

  • Feeding off of dead bodies isn't what makes it vegan or not. Plants are plants and animals are not, regardless of their diet.

    Or are you trying to argue that grass isn't vegan?
