d% is what I usually see

I always divide by two and round up for d3

Didn’t I read this headline a few years ago?

Yes but he serves a different community

Or been hiding their knowledge of their part in the problem longer than a lot of people have been alive

Been a while since I saw a reference to exceptional strength

Not enough robot arms to be Magnus Burnsides

Not to just keep replying to you but it’s also very doable online if you can’t find players where you are

You can’t. You can do better sometimes but there will still be hiccups. As far as I’m aware the groups most likely to be actually consistent have been playing together since they were in school.

This isn’t meant to be discouraging at all! The opposite in fact. Don’t let those hiccups, common or rare, stop you. Just be aware of their possibility and ready to adapt. Ability to adapt is the most useful tool in the GM toolbox at the table and approaching it.

While reading this comment I had the thought of a stoic warrior type that was very much an outsider to the society he was mostly operating in but very open to learning about the things that are new to him. Occasionally he would really embrace some part of that culture and make his own references to it.

I’d probably call him Jaxson and get away with it until he said indeed.

That’s kinda what the article says though

I made a villain probably more than 15 years ago at this point that, to this day, any player who was in that campaign will promptly tell me “fuck you” if I mention him or do a little flourish with my finger.

Philip the Brigand! He was born of several suggestions for memorability. A title, not just a name. Personality flair (such as, but not limited to, the flourish), and a knack for escape being the three I remember. Not plot armor, for sure. A great eye for knowing when the battle wasn’t going his way though, which was usually shortly after ruining the party’s day. Like when he loosed a rust monster that destroyed the fighter’s treasured sword and also broke the monk’s arm.

Mostly they pictured an incredibly annoying version of Autolycus from Xena/Hercules. Not unfair.

What kind of backwards, boring ass DM does that?

Did y’all form up another group without them?

They do and I’d love to have a better method available to us.

However the meme is a little off.

One party doesn’t give a fuck about you, the other actively wishes you harm and works to that end.

They’re not “my team” but they’re well past “the lesser of two evils” given the other one.

Not the 1865 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland which also has the same credentials but, as you can see, is earlier?

Still not sold on calling all of it Isekai regardless, but at least check your own facts

We don’t have an Isekai genre. We have an Other World subgenre of fantasy that Japan made another name for and weebs apply to everything similar.

There is as much right to be an asshole as there is to not put up with assholes

As fundamental as not having to put up with assholes.

You wanna do it? Go do it over there where no one else has to put up with your shit

Absolutely! Just wanted to reassure everyone that even the things you’re sure are known to everyone aren’t.

Lucky 10,000 and all that

I haven’t read past the explanation for the spoiler, and I doubt I’ll be terribly fussed if someone comments one to me that I can’t avoid, but I wanted to offer, I guess some support for your reasoning.

I play as time allows and have gotten, I think around 30 hours under my belt. I’ve got a handful of quests partially done and at least one finished.

There are temples?
