@lookitmychicken this seems like a dire lack of polling places, postal vote being an option or no

@Cyborgneticz i’ve heard “god bowling” for thunder w/no storm but not that one

also I have some Questions

@skysailor @Canageek @Anke @rowyn yeah it’s definitely no longer the only option, and I think DM’s have been going “fuck it” and houseruling things since the day tabletop was invented so it was definitely never universal

But it is still canonically a thing and there are still tables that use it as a result (we do use XP at my table but it isn’t just a strict ‘list of monsters you killed’ because players using non-combat skills should count for something)

@rowyn @skysailor @Anke yes that’s exactly what I am describing as well—a Bat is 10XP and a Dire Wolf is 200 according to the player manual

@skysailor @Anke @rowyn D&D still, technically, works this way—if you flip to the creature statistics section in the back of the 5e player handbook it lists the difficulty of each creature, along with the corresponding amount to XP you’d earn if you killed it. I think the typical assumption for those types of games is the DM tracks XP privately and then hands it out at the end of each session but that is still someone keeping track!

That said, D&D is a an overcomplicated math heavy game and I don’t necessarily recommend just copying its choices 😆

@platypus would not be at all surprised if including adult kids who’s parents are that age on the advertising lists is 100% intentional but yeah weird vibes

@ryfulets @Betty ah yes this was my issue finding fic for my last obsession with an overlong novel about two men who are definitely Mutually Obsessed but don’t necessarily seem super into each-other in the bits touching sense

@ryfulets @Betty that is Unquestionably True

@ryfulets @Betty i meant homoerotic more in the Barbara Kreuger ( https://www.moma.org/collection/works/63019 ) sense than actually shipping them rn

Tho their habit using eachothers names constantly may convince me otherwise if it keeps up

@Betty @ryfulets @soph_sol @villainousfriend these weirdos are SO obsessed with eachother

they’ve probably touched like four times and barely talk and yet the homoeroticism is somehow off the charts

@ryfulets @Betty @soph_sol @villainousfriend it better be a VERY luxurious bath with scented candles and everything 😂

@ryfulets @villainousfriend @soph_sol @Betty i need to go read some fanfic where everyone gets to like, take a bath and then get a full nights sleep
