That is equally serene as it is chilling. 🥹🤩

Ironically enough, I generally can barely stand D&D these days, and much prefer systems like Blades In The Dark, Powered By The Apocalypse, Ironsworn/Starforged, etc., so please understand that while my criticism comes from a place of cited reference, in no way do I support the tactical “storytelling” that WotC sells to the unwitting and the brand-loyal. In fact, it seems that we’re of very similar mind, after all. 🤗❤️

edit: I’d like to point out that I had the “privilege” of playing in a game that Gygax ran at GenCon back in the day, and Colville’s “style” is cut from similar cloth. Some might enjoy it, but I genuinely wish the flyleaves of rulebooks still assured readers that the book’s contents were merely guidelines to assist imagination among their group.

According to Matt Colville, and I’m paraphrasing here, “Your monsters should be doing average damage equal to 6, + 3 times their CR”. Therefore, your < CR 13 monsters were so nerfed that their actual CR was less than half (+/-) the printed number. All due respect, but if you’re training your players to interact with the game system in this manner, you’re not only making more work for yourself, but you’re setting them up for a rude fucking awakening at nearly any other table than yours. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wait. You do sub-20 dmg at Tier III? Your DM is letting you bowl with bumpers on.

Why “gently”, though?

If your DM is throwing casters at you that would fail a DC10 Concentration check, you’ve gotta be sub-2nd level. 😅

For sure! What part of the world are you in? I have that same unit, so maybe I could cobble something together, but I’m not having your same problem with it (yet?)…

Do you need me to print you a solution?

Ok, boomer 🤣🤌🏼

Wait, what’s “CK”? 🤩

You can save it. This isn’t that other place. 🤪

One word: redhead. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤯

Funny, mine already does. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

Sidenote: everything on Amazon from a clearly nonsense jumble of letters (see pic) as a “seller” is absolutely going to be shite.

I’m just wondering why that corpse was wearing such an unhealthy corset.

To be fair, there are only two female genital options in BG3. Both called “vulva”, and the only difference is one has public hair while the other does not. If it were even remotely “woke”, not only would the options be more than “innies”, but they’d be more representative of realistic variance. /my2¢

Well, that’s aDORable. 🤗❤️

Yes, and I’m starting that if you attempt to summarize, do be sure to touch on key points rather than boiling it down to such a degree that it’s indistinguishable from mud. Pretty basic stuff, friend. Thanks for trying, though.

Are you equating the nuance of a timeless literary classic to a sheltered white guy’s childhood? For real?

If you look a little deeper (and, truly, only barely under the surface), it’s glaringly apparent that not only is GW not worth your affection, but it has actively worked against its fanbase’s interests as a foundational element of its business model for decades. Secondly, despite the 3D printing demographic being a negligible dent in their bottom line, they still act like a bunch of greedy shits and allege ownership of anything even remotely similar to grimdark scifi — as if they own the entire genre.

p.s. Their endless, juvenile bullshit is precisely why One Page Rules not only exists, but is straight up slaying it. 🤘🏼
