TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Tales From the Tables, ep.46: A Thrice Blessed Return2·3 months agoI really like the dynamics between Angela and Rozanna, it’s really wholesome.
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkOPto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Who said Pathfinder fans are only ones to say "just play a different game"?1·4 months agoIf I turn out to have more time at my new job, I plan to start thrid campaign (alongside 5e and Blades in the Dark campaigns I’m running now), and make it WFRP for two people who ran it to me + maybe one other person
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Tales From the Tables ep.45: You Must Live On.2·4 months agoPaladin leveled up enough to get Spirit Guardians. I like this approach to roleplaying learning new spells, I may need to think how to utilize it in my game
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Tales From the Tables episode 44: Steel, Blood and Fire.3·5 months agoSo what I get from this is that Tyr is a bro and Volo sucks.
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•BREAK THE DRUID MOULD (Anonhistory)15·5 months agoFun fact about druids - in their tradition pretty much every break from the norm, like writing things down or cutting herbs wrong, was punishable by being clubbed to death.
Fun fact two: In France Druids were exterminated by Romans with help of Bards. Bards were basically a competting sect of the same faith with Druids and they sided with Romans to save their own skins and eliminate their rivals.

Considering I’ve been running 5e since the Plague Year, I wouldn’t call myself a hater. I did notice, however, this very pattern whenever I voice concerns about anything with the rules - first people assume whatever flaw or exploit I point out, has been used in my group and then their solution is always to leave the group or kick someone out of it, and if it didn’t happen in my group, then it means it doesn’t ever happen. It’s a catch-22 debating with these people.
One of my favorite things about this page is that it can be read as intended, let to right, or can be read right to left like a manga, and it still tells an internally coherent, but entierly opposite story.
You should consider that Forgotten Realms wasn’t really the default setting before 5e.
In 4e it was Points of Laght/Dawn World/Netir Vale which was designed from bottom up to be easy to put in anything you want and it is credited for codifying on paper worldbuilding principles that are as wold as fantasy itsel (the poitns of light-style world). In 3e era it was Generic Setting, which was just Greyhawk without any words that would make them have to pay Gygax royalties. In TSR there was no default setting, they all just coexisted.
WotC turned Realms into a default setting by pretending any unique stuff doesn’t exist or trying to make it “the default” - look at Gnolls. The “hyenas turned into half-demons from eating Yeenoghu’s blood” thing could work for Realms (it’s a new lore invented for this edition), but WotC just HAD to try to force it on ever other world they own, goig so far to retcon two Gnoll bodyguards in Sinsiter Secret of Saltmarsh into Hobgoblins, just to keep the illusion Realms have nothing unique going for it.
For me it’s playing Warhammer Fantasy. Where you roll a peasant and die of cholera.
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Tales From the Tables episode 43: Veil of Memories, part 2.6·7 months agoWait, is that person in the last panel, by any chance, the Paladin lady from Neverwinter Nights?
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkOPto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I'm Forever DM, not Forever GM2·7 months agoI’m seriously having fun making the builds, this may grow into a backlog similiar to d&d characters…
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkOPto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I guess I won't run this for my group32·7 months agoIf we’re specifically talking about kid’s first bike, which the starter set or quickstart is an equivalent to, then looking down to people who want training wheels sounds like an asshole move.
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkOPto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I guess I won't run this for my group32·7 months agoI do like to have an adventure that shows me how basic beats of the game are supposed to sync up and how its suppsoed to be balanced, instead of having to guess based on the theory. Do you also look down on people who say your kid’s first bike should have training wheels?
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkOPto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I guess I won't run this for my group41·7 months agoThait is reassuring, thank you
TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.networkOPto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I guess I won't run this for my group88·7 months agoI think if it was all behind the paywall I would just shrug and move on, ironically. If it was free I would be setting up a one-shot with my players. This way I got excited only to be reminded I’m poor and every nerdy interest purchase is a decision I have to seriously weight and first thing to give up if anything happens. Guess it made me overreact a bit.
