I can think of some ways to get it scratched

hey these sound like achievable fantasies, I bet even a failure like me can manage hand-holding!

what if I need to summon her so that I can receive headpats? can we form an infinite loop of positive reinforcement?

How old was she when she began writing HP? She's at least been a piece of shit since then

Chaos magic can be fun, but remember to be cautious when wording your pact. The Ruinous Powers are known to have a sense of humor, and the last thing you want is to be turned into a chaos spawn.

It's honestly really funny to me how frequently some DMs forget basic writing principles. If something is set-up, either by yourself or your players, you should find a way to pay it off. It's a really lame story if your monk has developed an immunity to poison and it never comes up a single time. Chekov's gun was made to be fired!

tbh, any system can accommodate this. It's on you as a DM to create/use the various larger factions/entities. You can really make a world feel alive by writing up a few basic opposing factions and having the results of their conflict intertwine with whatever your group is doing. Wanna run a Shadowrun game? Focus on the megacorps going at each other, have the party work some of those jobs, but maybe have another group of NPC runners crash a job. Wanna do D&D? Well, they added factions like the Harpers so that you can have some big players pushing pieces behind the scenes, and have your players stumble onto a wider conspiracy.

I think the biggest thing is that you can't be afraid to give your party a challenge you know they have no hope of defeating. If they're small fish in a big pond, they have to encounter a big fish and learn their place in the hierarchy. If your group is smart, you can give a lot of hints that they need to flee and escape the bigger fish. If they're dumb, have em get wiped out in combat and barely survive.

Yeah, the sad truth is that there absolutely are gendered clothes. The issue lies with manufacturing and the fashion industry at large. I really wish there was a place where I could shop for dresses that naturally fit my male frame, but nearly everything I've ever liked has needed alterations.

I blame the Victorians for getting us into this mess.

The hardest part is going and buying those things, especially when many dresses are not made for masculine builds. I've received enough judgemental looks to only shop in-store with women friends, but it's still hard to have the confidence to try something on.

The serious answer is they learn it from their parents and society at large.

I'd be willing to bet money that the household they grew up in has Fox News blasting 24/7. They certainly live in a conservative area, so all their friends are probably growing up in similar situations. When you feed children an informational diet of consistent hatred and violence, you can't really be surprised when they act on it.

Play my flute when I loot that dead kid's body!
