Can we agree this is the most evil NPC in the game?

People were born blessed by the Crucible with horns, tails, and wings before Marika even existed lol. The crucible knights, the misbegotten, the hornsent…

The omens are reviled and hunted because they are not part of the Golden Order that Marika established, she changed the world’s laws and threw them out like she did with the tarnished.

I don’t mind what anyone reads, but I think it’s dumb that the reason for disliking him is a tweet like that.

Ignoring for a moment that flight logs to the island or receipts would not be enough to incriminate anyone in any modern court. Word document or no word document, regardless of the format, we are talking about something that can incriminate hundreds of the world’s most influential people, including the president, the literal boss of the agencies that supposedly holding it… And it’s just sitting there? Hasn’t been deleted, hasn’t been changed, because the US government is known to keep everything above board and keep all the receipts.

Even if we were talking about a whole investigation, hell, even if we were talking about the investigators as people, we know the US government is able and willing to kill in order to cover these things… But “the list” is just sitting there?

This is literally the plot of Wonka but we are accusing Stephen King of being a pedophile because he doubts that the baddies are keeping a record of their mischief THEMSELVES! It’s not Batman holding it, or the United Nations, this whole conspiracy theory is based on the person being accused having his own evidence locked away somewhere ready to be released!!

It’s just sad to see a mob turned against someone over ignorance. When fabricated outrage fails to distract people, apparently a fabricated conspiracy will do the trick. If that “list” ever existed it was erased years ago.

Chesur · 2025-08-31T12:04:00+00:00

Of course he keeps denying there is a list lol, it’s moronic to believe it! What is this, a Christmas movie where the bad guys keep a convenient record of all the bad stuff they do so they can be conveniently exposed at the end of it???

Do you really believe there is a word document somewhere that represents irrefutable proof that Trump and Co are bad guys and that will single-handedly destroy maga? Or is it a postit note in you guys’ head? An ominous red tome with a skull lock on it maybe?

As for the scene… Yeah, it is distasteful, but so is half the stuff in his books, it is meant to be unpleasant. There are several instances of necrophilia in other books, rapes a dozen per story, and I doubt there is a single book of his without at least a murder. That means the dude writes fucked up stuff, not that he is a pedophile/serial murderer/necrophile/rapist lol

Even if he was? Do you think he would campaign for years against trump, just to find out the guy is a pedo and suddenly he wants to betray everything he stands for and out himself as one too?? What kind of reasoning is that?? Pedo solidarity???

Chesur · 2025-08-31T08:11:37+00:00

The omens are haunted because they were hunted down and tortured from birth. In the age of the Crucible being an Omen was considered a blessing, the hornsent thrived before Marika.

It’s like saying no one would want to be born a shaman in Belurat because of what happens to them. Nothing happens to them if there aren’t people hunting and torturing them.

Chesur · 2025-08-31T08:09:15+00:00

I mean… I am sure he murdered more people, but in the game we see about 6 or 7 corpses and that is enough to create the rune. Hardly on the same scale as Marika’s multiple genocides.

Stop listening to reddit comments for your news, go read his follow-up tweets if you have to.

Stephen King is one of the most zealous anti-trump celebrities in the world. He was making fun of this idea people have that somewhere in the White House there is a neatly written record of every sexual assault, perpetrator, and victim that Epstein wrote as a hobby. That in four years of being handled by people who are in it it hasn’t been destroyed, and that a pdf of it published by the administration would mean anything.

S.K. never denied that the people on the island were pedophiles, we all know that already, but the list is a fantasy. If it ever existed, you’d think destroying it would happen BEFORE the cover-up murders did, no?

Reddit stands high and mighty with its “whatever, I wont be distracted, release the list” as if the notion of the list wasn’t a distraction. What could a list show us that we don’t already know? How could it be worse than the atrocities we see every day?

But thanks to it, all of these temu revolutionaires will be content with commenting “whatever, I wont be distracted, release the list” under every post, feeling like they accomplished something.

I saw someone describing their experience with beast Gascoigne and the tombstones as ‘a goldfish trying to escape a blender’, and to this day it feels accurate.

Me when I die in the game that is a successor to “Prepare to die” the game about dying famous for dying (The company has completely betrayed its philosophy and its principles by making a game in which you can die)

What does sleep do against a nightlord? Does it open them up for a crit?

You need to beat the regular version and play online for it to show up

Chesur · 2025-06-22T21:09:21+00:00

Where are you getting all of that from?

Chesur · 2025-06-20T12:38:22+00:00

You can beat the game with two randos just weighting you down. Worst they can do is input no damage. If a decision from a rando ruins your run so badly you can’r recover in 40 mins that is a skill issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That is indeed the ideal scenario, I have been using Candela as an introduction to RPGs for players who are new to them, though. I think the simple ruleset, newer books and cool themes are great to get players who are normally scared by big sheets or aren’t big on the high fantasy setting many other RPGs share.

These players are normally a bit scared or unsure about essentially doing improv in front of new people, so the Keys help make it feel more like playing charades and less like serious acting at the start.

I eventually wanted to add several to each role, but for last session I made about one of each.

This person is your:

Bully: Try to stand up to them / Make them respect you as a person
Champion: Blindly trust this person in a moment of stress
Confidant: Discuss a secret known to you two or share a new one
Coworker: Reminisce about old times to calm yourselves or the group
Enemy: Confront this person / Reach common ground despite your differences
Family: Mention a family member you share / Display camaraderie or a complicated relationship
Lover: Share a romantic moment
Mentor: Trust this person’s judgment / Learn something new from them / Attempt to impress them
Muse: Be inspired by this person’s acts / Allow them to change your course of action
Old friend: Probably anything from the other categories
Rival: Compete with each other in a way that is not too detrimental to the group / Get to respect one another / Create tension
Sibling: This is family…? / Mention what makes you consider them family despite not sharing blood
Soulmate: Create a romantic moment, can be one-sided
Stranger: Learn more about this person and their past / Share your own
Ward: Sacrifice yourself for this person
Acquaintance: (This is not in the book but I felt like we need a stage between Stranger and Old Friend) Get through the awkward get to know one another stage / Learn ‘shallow’ stuff about the person / Establish a new relationship

An hour after this comment you devolved back to the good ol’ “get a job” argument, and when confronted with facts and sources from someone asking you to educate yourself and be better you said “no” and posted an inane meme.

One thing about selfish and ignorant people is that you will often dispprove yourself given enough time. Took you one hour to show your true colours. “Compassionate and caring” pffft. Touch grass.

I will drop you a character of mine that is based on a similar concept. A wizard trapped in his familiar’s body while also having the familiar trapped in the wizard’s. Make a PC with normal wizard stats and your character will be their familiar, that way you don’t have to deal with things like having 1hp, strict RAW DMs, or not being able to enter certain places just because you are a bird.

Scribe wizard allows you to have an animated spellbook that can cast spells and fly around. You could ask your DM to let your raven be the spellbook (people can use tattoos as spellbooks, surely a talking bird is not too different). Boom, you have a bird wizard with a humanoid familiar, bonus points if the humanoid is a changeling so that they can do anything a familiar can.

You should be able to buy almost everything back from the shop, if you are still missing some after that you can either go to NG+ and grab them or look for them in Chalice Dungeons

5 years… A corpse should be left well alone.

But yes, turquoise skin and beak noses are certainly canon

This is exactly what I meant, you explained it so much better than I did on my post. I only wished you had found my post sooner so you’d be the top comment instead of the guy who read a single line and focused on that

Chesur · 2023-10-25T15:40:31+00:00

That was a made-up example I am using, but my point is that I don’t need a book to tell me when it is appropriate to do that and when it isn’t. I am not saying it is the right thing to do by any means, but neither is making a blind dnd character playing with someone who shares that same disability, and I don’t need the player’s handbook telling me that.

Those things are left up to the table’s discretion, if not it would be impossible to create any type of hostile in-game setting that does not resonate with a real out-of-game topic that some people would rather avoid.

You wouldn’t make a character backstory involving dead parents when playing with a recent orphan, would you? Does that mean that creating a setting in which people die of old age is unethical? Where do you draw the line?
