Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

  • Okay but as long as we are complaining about shit we see on RPG forums

    “I wish I could do $thing in DnD”

    $otherSystem has a very cool subsystem for $thing

    “Omg how dare you”

    Had this conversation enough times to make it a pet peeve of mine

    Anyway the only thing about 5e that does suck is Wizards of the Coast. Otherwise it’s fine. It’s just fine. You can have fun with it.

    I’m more of a Pathfinder 2e guy tho.

    (And pf2 is basically a more advanced take on what 5e was doing so…)














  • Ok but that sounds like exactly the kind of shit test God puts people through in religious parables.

    Give them an unbelievable and entirely random thing that SAYS it’s supernaturally evil (and it actually is, but it’s also so out of left field–) and if they don’t take the warning at face value and put it back down they will go to hell forever or something.




  • Column A, Column B

    The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they’re young

    And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)

    And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming – But they will have some common ground with you still.

    … It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.
