"characters in tv shows are too self aware now! every emotional convo is like "i guess i yelled at you earlier because i never processed dad leaving" no!! no!!! flush someone's blood pressure medication because they called you lazy."

cannot stress enough how much this tweet is not only my guiding star for character writing but also the only thing that enables me to write conversations at all

“the pharaoh’s tomb is cursed! the necromancer’s ring is cursed! the witch’s grimoire is cursed!” that’s how you sound. everything is fucking cursed with you bro. i don’t care. i’m taking this skull.

i came here to say "i use a lot of reverse image search to try and find original sources" and you're already all over it. im just like her fr

that bounce is perfect. i can see them fighting gravity instead of just floating.

cssDOOM DOOM rendered entirely in CSS. Every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

CSS is DOOMed!

I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

I guess it's not even a yes-and, Rob made this same point later in the thread, more concisely than I did bsky.app/profile/rdon...

Treasure Tells A Story If you've played in any of the basic dungeon crawling analogs, you've experienced that magical post-combat moment: treasure anticipation. There's loot -- you know there's loot -- but you don't know w...

Use generic magic items! But give them a story.

As @lamemage.com said, “players pay attention when you describe treasure.”

“What's more interesting...Getting lectured about elven history or finding an ancient elven sword that’s part of that history?” arsludi.lamemage.com/index.php/99...

The Trident of Fish Command has unique art you can show players. It has an implied backstory. Players will ask “why did that hobgoblin even have this? where did he get it?” Aquaman jokes will fly when a player uses it.

It's mechanically worse than an enspelled weapon, but it's more evocative.

Trident of Fish Command Weapon (trident), uncommon (requires attunement) The picture is of a coral-encrusted, asymmetrical trident. This magic weapon has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While you carry it, you can expend 1 charge to cast Dominate Beast (save DC 15) from it on a Beast that has a Swim Speed.

Compare with the Trident of Fish Command that Rob mentions in the thread. It's worse than an Enspelled weapon that casts dominate beast! Fewer charges, and only works on swimmers.

It's uncommon instead of rare, so maybe it's cheaper... but buying loot isn't as fun as finding loot. Because of story.

Here's my “yes, and” for this great thread on magic items.

The enspelled weapon is a good framework for DMs to understand how to design balanced magic items. But it cares more about game rules than story. It takes the magic out of magic: this item feels mass-produced in a factory.

A screenshot of the website for "New England World Wide Upholstery Supply" with contact info in a broken banner where contact info overflows with the nav buttons. The product page is for a chair repair kit descrbiend as "Comprehensive chair repair kit with essential tools and materials for quick fixes." the AI picture shows two chairs proportioned like children's chairs, one with grasslike green felt on a 3-legged nonsense chair. The tools are broken, asymmetrical scissors and nail clippers, a bent awl, and random metal shapes.

trying to reupholster a chair and a top google result is an AI slopsite selling a “chair repair kit.” You can get “basic” or “advanced,” they are both $40, no idea what's in either kit

©2035. maybe it's from a future where AI slop became copyrightable

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

eid mubarak!

I installed Sea of Stars for my love of SNES JRPGs and then just never played it, but the biggest surprise here is anybody ever mentioning Pyre

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

The rules and rulesets you create don't have to answer to people who don't choose to use them. They have to answer to the people who do choose to use them.

Going through everyone else's made this feel so DIFFICULT.

I saw it and it definitely lit a fire under me!

ah, a water/normal type

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

For me it was my older brother's 90s comic con bootleg VHS of Crying Freeman, and then The Crow TV show, and then Brotherhood of the Wolf.

Didn't realize the movie Toys was basically Ender's Game

This is a good place! Thank you for checking in :) I'm a slow worker but I hope the campaign will be worth it

The Dorsey-level tycoons are fully at war with workers, and they are beyond paranoid. The market raised the valuation of their company by 25% — ten *billion* dollars — for cutting those 4,000 people's jobs today. Jack Dorsey's personal net worth increased by about $750M as a result.

so this is why D&D wants a DM to have four players: we must complete the pentagram to summon the Chattering Demon

how I read this:

I've been writing hai
ku and I have no idea
what I'm doing and I'm having a great time

A greataxe designed with a tidal theme

An animated rocking chair, the back of which is carved into a face

A tiny bug construct made of platinum

A skull covered in different colors of paint

If you are making an #rpg book or a new game or similar, you might find yourself in need of spot art! A weapon, a vehicle, a treasure! I've got you covered -- all item spots are 150$ for the next week! 40% off, I miss doing these.
