Interesting. So if you can curse someone with "execution by the state", could you curse someone with, like a job promotion? Something like "I curse you to be a middle manager, where you will taste true despair! Muahahaha!" Or even simply "cursed" with immortality?

Like, yeah, it's purely a performative thing, on WotC's part. But it's performing sexism and hypocrisy. To be fair, you made a completely wild guess as to the specific reason WotC sent her that email. Personally, I'd bet on it being one of her YouTube videos, likely "Boycotting No Nut November...

Universally on the side of this lady, though I don't know what the creator program is. What is she being prevented or directed away from doing? Streaming MtG or something? It's literally just an in-game rewards program for streaming MtG. She's not even banned from streaming - she just can't get in-...

I more or less agree with Kaelik, it seems people are tripping over words and meaning. I think a lot of this confusion comes from not having the necessary distinctions required to think through this clearly. Most religions make authoritative claims to objective moral truths. Of course religions are...

Objective moral systems are more popular and more commonly practiced than any other in real life. I'm sorry to inform everyone of this, but religion is very popular and dear to billions of people. You're saying that religions have objective moral systems? :rofl: If you were a lifelong atheist, that...

Yes, in the universe of d&d it does map and does mean exactly what it says on the tin. We're not discussing actual normative philosophy, we are talking about a game. Yes, in the real world, outside the game world of d&d, ethics is complex, and discussion of objective truths within it are di...

If you want unambiguous kill-on-sight monsters in your setting, just make them unnatural. Goblins are a physical manifestation of the awakening dark lord's corruption on the land. There are no goblin children - there is no goblin history - goblins spring forth spontaneously from the tainted lands in...

I think we should carefully consider the possibility that DenizenKane has had their account hacked. I see no other reason for someone to go from posting nothing but dumb questions about dicepool math to being a right wing parody account. And you know who has both the resources and the dedication to...

That show is a treasure.

Are there any existing scifi works that deal with a mass plague (bacterial, viral, man mad weapon etc.) in an interesting way or come up with interesting countermeasures, habits? Well, you've already played Death Stranding. That's the first that comes to my mind of a mid-plague setting. Most other ...

Remember when back in February UK companies outright banned their workers from wearing masks? Meanwhile in the USA people who still get to go to work but wear a mask are getting straight-out fired. So hmmm, yeah, good luck containing it like that. I am being required to wear one (reasonable), and a...

So, what's going on with the Magic Schoolbus image anyways? I just don't get what the kids are supposed to be.

It was good enough for Lone Wolf, godsdammit. I actually discovered that Lone Wolf was a thing this year. He even has a recent and shitty video game! You're literally the first person I've ever seen mention that... franchise? Maybe that's too strong a word. Are you talking about the mobile game con...

Would someone be able to explain to me exactly what an "action resolution system" entails? I can infer what action resolution is, but the system part is where I get thrown off, because there are presumably lots of actions people can take in an RPG. Every definition I think of is circular ...

I was in a Bureaucracy and Brigands-style campaign for a year. I think it only worked out because we were an all-Terrestrial party, and only encountered humans, other dragonblooded, spirits, demons, and a lone whatever-the-corrupted-solars-are. Not having to deal with perfect defenses or being kill-...

- There are countless lifestyle hazards, with which people regularly voluntary harm themselves. The problem here is that some advice on this matter, like diets and exercise routines are also more harmful than good, but in general this is the easiest part. You only should not think that it's possibl...

I have to agree with K. What does this sentence even mean?

Deep Dungeon is probably your best bet for Uribos, and for Worker 7, do you have anyone with Speed Break? Preferably with Two Swords? Get his speed down to 1 and you should have plenty of time to get those items.

The thing is, etherealness isn't a property, it's a location. Ethereal items and material items only differ in whether they're on the ethereal or material plane. So if you shoot an arrow while under the effects of Blink then sure, it's not affected by the spell anymore, and it stays in whatever plan...

Starmaker wrote:How do I fake a blood iron test?

Depends on the blood test. Did they run a complete iron panel? Did they give you the test results? Blood doping using someone else's blood would definitely solve your problem, but there might be easier ways depending on why you failed and what tests they ran.

Pretty much just this.

Oh wow. The caption is literally "Boy screaming in pain following knife accident during knife game a.k.a. stabscotch"
