I’ve never really had the proper opportunity to play, but I fucking love reading peoples’ DnD stories online. Yeah the stories people end up sharing are just the highlight reels and the greatest hits in sessions that might not have been that fun all the way through, but I read them the same way that people who don’t play sports watch sports on the TV.
Like this one I read years ago but still remember. There was a party where the only human was their Pretty Boy Idiot Bard (the funniest type of bard) with next to nothing in intelligence but wildly high charisma, making him vital as the murderhobo party’s Public Relations in any kind of negotiations, but absolutely useless anywhere else. Nobody else but the DM and the bard’s player enjoyed that stuff more than combat and dungeons so the DM peppered in a lot of opportunities for the band to literally get away with murder just because That One Is So Pretty.
And the party in question ends up entering a fairly standard-looking dungeon, in search for a specific item. The one telling the story was playing a tiefling rogue, and at this point she noticed that the bard’s player and the DM had shot a few “I noticed that you noticed that I noticed it too” sort of trying-not-to-laugh glances, and suspected that something was up, but decided not to say anything, in-character or out.
They end up encountering a chasm on the dungeon floor, a seemingly endless ravine that none of them could jump or climb over, and stop to figure out how to cross it. Another player character - a half-elf - asks if any of them can see anything they could use as a tool, maybe something they could use to build a bridge. Before anyone starts doing perception checks, the bard speaks up.
“I don’t know. I went blind, like, two hours ago.”
And at this point the rest of the party realises that they don’t have a torch, or anything that’d give them light. The bard is the only one in the party who doesn’t have darkvision. He hasn’t seen shit for the entire time they’ve been in the dungeon. And he’s too damn stupid to figure out why.
if forced to recast jarpad, who would you pick for the role of sam winchester? alternatively, who would you cast for sam in the HBO version of supernatural?
this is a thought exercise not a comment on anyone’s acting talents okay DO NOT COME FOR ME. check out the jackles/misha recast polls too
once again saying. stop using spotify. the 1-2 punch of bandcamp and piracy is cool and good. renting access to your music library is bad and spotify is at the point where it needs to actually become profitable or its going to collapse. and its not going to become profitable. its going to get worse and more expensive and then collapse taking your entire library with it. get ahead of it start building an offline music library before your current rented library gets ethered
get a list of everything in your library so you can find the music again elsewhere. i dont have spotify so i cant test it but something like this
