The fact they did do all that is what makes this so amazing. The edges of the eyes is what convinced me it's not a photo.

Your friendly local office supplies shop would be happy to print and laminate any image at any size you wish.

Amongst the other junk, yeah. It did pick up a metal top hat at some point, it thinks that oozing that out to perch on top makes it look more approachable and friendly. Along with the pipe. It kind of works, but its penchant for collecting teeth, and asking strangers if they would like to trade for ones it doesn't have, kind of ruin that impression.

The initial idea was that I was actually playing as a sentient magic item that increased intelligence of the wearer. The original user was killed in the dungeon, then hoovered up by a gelatinous cube, and the magic item took over.

The others sit across the whole spectrum from that sort of unhinged to straight up wizard.

If it's D&D, I think the best way to go is to do a sidequest. Level 1 characters are a bit boring, and no-one wants to spend hours leveling up a new character for one session. So, a sidequest! Use an existing character and just give them a cookie cutter dungeon. But a sidequest should be a bit silly and fun- so make the PCs play someone else's character!

If it's not D&D, I've had great fun with "Oh Dang! Bigfoot Stole My Car With My Friend’s Birthday Present Inside". It's literally no prep, so if someone cancels last minute you can just pull that out, characters made in ten minutes, and you're reading the intro text.

Wow. Yep, time to leave, people.

Thanks for an honest and informative reply.

I guess I'm lucky in that I'm not particularly tied down anywhere. If I found myself in that situation, I'd just leave. A visa to a more developed, civilised country like Thailand or Chile isn't that hard to get, right?

Or is leaving equivalent to 'letting them win'?

Jesus fucking Christ... Is this the reality people in the US are living? I can't comprehend the environment that would lead to someone giving this advice.

Got a link for that podcast?

I think I'm out of the loop here.

I'm playing a character at the moment, one of my favourites, but as it gets more powerful I can't ignore the current dissonance.

I'm playing as a headband of intellect whose previous owner was engulfed by a gelatinous cube. The headband then granted the cube intelligence, who sees itself as a cleric of Jubilex.

I've ended up playing this cube as a happy go lucky explorer who just wants to see the world and be friends with everyone. And the party healer, of the life domain.

But then I read into Jubilex. Not exactly the loving life domain type. So now I'm not sure where I want to take this thing.

Fuck, I love this game.

Is there another sub for non-meme ttrpg discussion?

I'll say it here regardless - Feng Shui is my favourite system that's not Blades or DnD or derivates.

The whole premise is based around Hong Kong style action flicks. Most enemies have one hit point. If you hit, they go down. If you describe your action well, you get a bonus- instead of saying "I kick the guy", players are encouraged to say "I leap from the balcony, swing from the tapestry, and fly-kick the guy in the head". The setting includes four distinct time periods, so you can travel from a cyberpunk future to a colonial history between sessions. It's fast, it lends itself to simple plots, and it's fun to be awesome.
