Do you like Fantasy stories?

Why is there always one like this?

😭🤣

Russia is not a third world country. Russia (and its proxies) define the second world. If you're looking for a third world, white-majority country, Switzerland would be a good bet, due to their habit of neutrality.

there’s a third world white country the size of fucking pluto dumbass

@NatSprat42 @Nerdcognito I might take that seriously if I thought Nerdcognito actually played the game instead of just whining. Half his complaints are about things that have been true for 50 years.

Who could forget this LARP?

Critical Role's Brennan Lee Mulligan ditched D&D's dice in Campaign 4: no roll needed because a PC monologue was "too good."

Performance now overrides actual gameplay.

This isn't D&D. It's scripted celebrity theater pretending to be gaming.

They. Don't Really. Play.

@FloodedRealms Hey, look at that! New downtime activity just dropped!

[Bryan Bourque @BryanLBourque]

@FloodedRealms 4th did what it was trying to do exceptionally well in that regard, it's probably the "best" edition. It also happens to not be what people really want out of a TTRPG.

@Thusundi This is just reinventing split parties from first principles.

@Dungeoneerhere I ran a zero-prep last Sunday playing C&C. You could try not being a cultist.

[Bryan Bourque @BryanLBourque]

@Nobleshield @John_Cyrano @archon @FloodedRealms Especially since few systems do anything other than punish players for running. Monsters frequently move faster than PCs, so both keeping stride and attacking is usually within their abilities (and that's not considering things like attacks of opportunity, if in the system).

[Bryan Bourque @BryanLBourque]

@FloodedRealms @Nobleshield I'm not too bothered by the stinginess (though the attunement system could have used more fine-tuning), but I do agree that feats are just awkward in 5E.

The fact that a codex is shown is pretty good evidence that the manuscript is not actually from the 1st Century.

The Apostles had icons…..

[Bryan Bourque @BryanLBourque]

The OSR are too stupid to comprehend aleatory. Sure, Critical Role is "scripted," but only marginally more than an average D&D game. Do you really think that these actors are memorizing multiple hours of script per week, even beyond their day job?

I don't even like CR!

[Nerdcognito @Nerdcognito]

Ugly truth is always better than pretty lies.

Even when it's Critical Role.
Especially when it's Critical Role.

@Placeb0HQ @timjipping @DefiyantlyFree Don't "bro" me if you don't realize that "never Trumper" does, in fact, mean never, and he has voted for Trump twice since 2016.

[Bryan Bourque @BryanLBourque]

@realmikolson @ConceptualJames He shouldn't have said it. Treating Christianity as a skinsuit is what the woke right does, and him suggesting he might do that too (even as a joke) makes his work now fruit of the poisoned tree.

[Bryan Bourque @BryanLBourque]

@timjipping @DefiyantlyFree Shapiro is not a never-Trumper, and it's baffling that you would say so.

Ender's game, but it's Claude who learns at the end that all of the hacking was real

@MarioBrothBlog Imagine a Toad just named "Toa."

@nwhunt97 @JeremyDBoreing @PurrLockHolmez @realDailyWire Probably someone who actually worked at DW at the time you temporally challenged Loon.
