Nothing resembling a scale there so we can't say whether the pocket sized continents common to many D&D settings have been replicated. I can say that's an awful lot of land for the visible ocean. If the bodies of water labeled "lakes" are merely lakes then even if they're the same siz...

Trump isn't particularly serious about stealing the election. He is just posturing. And the other Republicans don't really want or need for him to win, they've got what they want. This is a terrible take. We all know that Trump is literally incapable of the discipline and self-reflection necessary ...

I'm not saying Morrison isn't bad, I'm saying that, to me, Trump still looks significantly worse. On no explicable basis. Just purely explicitly subjective not described feels. Sure. That's legit. Wait, do you seriously need a list of the actual reasons why US President Donald J Trump is a dumpster...

The idea that the world would have been safer with America in the hands of an authoritarian despot because he's inept and maybe less interested in directing international coups right now is super fucked.

Our original body is a werewolf. Or Mencius is a nudist. "If submerged in water, a sorcerer's body will swell to twice its normal size." This seems like confirmation that Mencius still counts as a sorcerer, even in "our" body. And that also explains why he wouldn't want to be we...

Examine the body once it's dead. We should dip our sword in the blood on his forehead and waste no time in killing him, assuming it doesn't cost us our silver bullet.

If a bunch of 5th level adventurers with swords show up to Joe's farm and "persuade" him to lead them where they need to go, that's hardly an impossible scenario. Maybe they convince him that they're the only chance to stop his farm from being burned by the invaders. That could even be tru...
