In DnD, there are many ways of approaching character creation. You can make a serious character with a deep background which influences the story and play style... Or you can completely ignore all that and just make a goofy little guy. You will usually get some mixture of both in most DnD groups.
So the first two characters are discussing their serious background and their motivations and then the other two are just like "I am a fancy lil frog nobel." and "I'm a farmer!"
My friends, there exists premade maps of labyrinthian proportions that twist and turn, with multiple larger and smaller rooms, shortcuts and hidden passages, and yet still in a format that encourages a natural flow through the area.
It's called IKEA and you can use their floor layouts to trap your players in an inescapable hell.
Child me: this looks so fun!
Adult me: Ticks. Gonna have to check everywhere for ticks.
No. But I would look down on people that say that any bike that doesn't have training wheels is unrideable.
I don't think I've ever played an official story from any system? Why would I want to do that when I can make my own? I'm not going to look down on those that choose to run official stories, but I absolutely am going to look down on those who think the games are unplayable without them.
Haven't smelled too many wild animals have you? They generally do smell like shit.
Recently, the Pocket Bard app for music and ambiance. You can select a setting like a town, dungeon, forest, etc. and it will pick thematically appropriate music. It has an intensity slider that will subtly change the music on the fly, becoming more soothing/playful at low levels and chaotic/dramatic at high levels. You can switch between exploration and battle music depending on what players are doing, there's even victory music for after a battle.
It's definitely a step up from shuffling between various YouTube playlists.
Kobolds: Just silly little guys
Just want to point out that saying things like republiQans makes you seem just as unhinged as people on the right saying things like democRATS or Sleepy Joe.
I get where you're coming from, but you sound like a damn fool.
Glad you agree.
Great dismissal of the truth you refuse to look at. The people of El Salvador love the man because he drastically reduced crime. Rape and murder was horrendously common there. People were afraid to leave their homes, even in the middle of the day. When you live like that for years and someone comes in and eliminates 95% of the crime almost overnight, yea, you're not really gonna give a shit if he followed due process and whatever he calls himself when you can suddenly leave your house in peace. There's a reason why he's so popular there.
Is that a labradoodle?
