What's something that parents do in your world that the kids just wouldn't understand?

Actually Chloe:
Serious question for the millennials... my older cousin said she used to ‘burn’ CDs for her crush. Like... with fire?
Was that a ritual? Did it work? You guys were literally practicing witchcraft just to get a text back and I'm scared of y'all.
Jake Zel:
The old magic will not be discussed with the children of new.

A client of mine in America was feeling concerned about all the things and was questioning whether playing D&D was actually doing any good in the world. This week it clicked open for them that there is great good when we engage in role play, learning to work as a group, learning to lean into personal skills and resources, learning the necessity of mutual aid, learning to take risks without knowing the outcome... All of these things are found in playing Dungeons and Dragons as a group.

FANTASY IS THE PROVING GROUND FOR REALITY BUILDING

So, that's it. Build a new world in whatever way makes sense, create it in your mind first and allow your actions to follow naturally. Keep playing, keep trying, keep going.

Hoje tava buscando aventuras de #ttrpg pq escorpiões gigantes mataram dois personagens na última sessão e alguém reinvidicou que poderia ter um ninho deles no cemitério.

Não achei nada interessante, maaaas, fui atrás sobre ecologia dos escorpiões e descobri coisas legais. Amanhã quero fazer um desafio em cima disso.

É tao maravilhoso uma mesa emergente, da gente ir desenvolvendo as coisas a medida q elas vão acontecendo 😍😍😍😍😍

@juergen_hubert possibly a dragon, given their tendency to hoard. Imps, lemures, and other devils associated w/ Minauros, the part of the Nine Hells devoted to avarice. Undead of various types work too.

I’d avoid golems because using a creature from Jewish folklore to inhabit a temple of greed looks super bad.

@multipass Hmmm. A shadow dragon might be appropriate to the general region (a sunken city associated with shadows and ash). But the party consists of 3 level 7 characters - so an adult shadow dragon (CR 13) would be too much, and a juvenile shadow dragon (CR 4) would be far too weak.

Does anyone know of some methods on how to "downgrade" creatures in #DnD 5e?

#DnD question:

Can you recommend any suitable creatures which would guard an otherwise long-abandoned temple to a deity of greed?

Hello Everyone.

My name is Sacha. I am a comic artist from Gatineau. I draw comics, illustrations and storyboards, as well as 2d art for games.
I am also currently taking commissions for DnD and TTRPG characters.
https://ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/commissions

My main comic projets is called Seeds of Spring. (Written by CHris Coquard and illustrated by me) It's a historical/YA series about a canadian teenager named Naguset who is learning to reconnect with her Mi'kmaq culture with the help of her grandparents, while simultaniously reading the biography of Peter Kropotkin. A famous russian 19th century intellectual who abandonned his noble titles to become one of the world leading anarchist thinkers. I have PDFs available here: https://ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/shop and you can buy the physical book from Microcosm Publishing https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/zines/10448?srsltid=AfmBOop6m1_Tu745WNIJa25VWHTN7p_dt5gbhjulIOZdvVy7kdkUvARd

Agora no #roll20, da pra adicionar pins no mapa que abre um pequeno modal, e clicando duas vezes, abre o handout vinculado.

E dá pra pegar partes do texto de dentro do handout e também colocar como pin no mapa.

Com isso, dá pra criar dentro de um handout link entre mapas diferentes e ficar navegando entre ela só com um click!

Era ESSA feature q precisava pra eu largar o Notion e ficar só com o roll20 pra preparar #Barrowmaze 😍😍😍

POR SINAL, quarta que vem, 19h, mais uma sessão vai rolar! Bora fediverso?! Chega junto: https://caironoleto.notion.site/Barrowmaze-Mesa-Aberta-f83da292274b458494314fcd60b18d47?pvs=74

Im Weihmachtsgeschenk des Kindes war ein #dnd Würfel. Und natürlich habe ich über die freien Tage Stranger Things zuende geschaut.

Jetzt stellt sich mir die Frage: gibt es Einstiegssettings ohne gleich ganz tief eigene Charaktere und Welten bauen zu müssen um mit Kindern mal dnd auszuprobieren? (Alter der Kinder: 5-11, spielen gern Brett- und Kartenspiele (auch kooperative), auch das jüngste Kind).

Edit: Danke für die ganzen Tips, haben ne Liste für die Stadtbibo.

Recommendations for #DnD 5e character sheet creator, preferably not a mobile app (so browser or desktop, and I'm on Linux), that includes extra content like Tasha's and Xanthar's and the extra races in Monsters of the Multiverse?

https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/lord-of-the-rings-jd-vance-elon-musk-politics-b2893472.html

🤡"By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

"Easterlings" The people from the east. Bad guys.🤷🏿‍♂️

"Southrons" The people from the South. Also bad guys. Known for their war elephants. Subtle.🤷🏿‍♂️

"Orcs" Bad guys. Described by Tolkien as, well, just read it in the screenshot.🤷🏿‍♂️

No, it doesn't matter if Tolkien was consciously or subconsciously racist.

He wrote this stuff, and so it should be obvious why the *white* right-wing gravitates towards it.

I mean, I don't think they're suggesting that the right-wing in say, Uganda were big Tolkien fans.🤷🏿‍♂️

The white is silent.

Screenshot:

Tolkien described Orcs as "...squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes; in fact degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least lovely Mongol-types"

@mekkaokereke

There has been a microcosm of that debate in #ttrpg / #dnd spaces. A lot of gamers want to move away from the "Designated Bad Guy Races" and portray, say, orcs as people like everyone else.

And predictably, there is a fierce backlash against this from other gamers who claim that "I don't want politics in my gaming!" Which, of course, means that they are comfortable with the politics as they are, and don't want to think about them.

(They also don't want to acknowledge that Gary Gygax, one of the founders of the hobby, was a massive racist and misogynist who baked his assumptions into the game, but that's another story...)
