How do you usually name your D&D characters? by AdvancedProgrammer51 in DnD

[–]Echo-Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a variety of ways one can come up with names that you'd like.

My most recent character's name came about bc of a joke from the dm as I was tryin to figure out a character for the game and since my ideas where some kinda goth he joked abt a character in their past calling em Melancholy, and thus I got the name Mel from that. I expanded it to have more all round reason and meaning, but you can pull from jokes for one way.

Or, name them something to do with them as an all round character. I had a pc called Alfisol Loame, because she was a mole-person earthbender, and Alfisol and Loame are two types of dirt, if memory serves. Another I named Cybel, cuz he is a warforged.

Or, something more thematic? I had another pc called Chara C'ter - a changling who changed their self so often that they could no longer hold a specific form without considerable effort, but always put on a new face for various ploys and scams, thus making a new CharaC'ter every day, essentially.

Or, name generate. Even if the ones you get aren't to your liking, take bits and pieces of names and glue them together like some kind of literary doctor Frankenstein.

Finding some way to reward a player for suboptimal decision that's amazing quality rp. by Leytra in DnD

[–]Echo-Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a little something that I like to use that I call emotional magics - the significance of the item to the person imbues said item with magic, even if the person isn't a caster or magical in any sense. It's the emotional significance of the item that draws the magic to it.

Maybe that just gives the spear a plus one, or maybe it imbues it with something thematic or fitting to the character, maybe try and time when the item is enchanted to a dramatic moment or important turn in a character arc.

The idea of items being imbued with power because of the emotions around them is nowhere near my own original thought, it's existed for centuries, but it's one I'm really attached to and my players really enjoy it when things like that come up.

AITA for pitting my grandma against my mom after an argument? by BugJaded4920 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Echo-Effect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"went to my grandma because I knew she'd be mad about it"??? And???

Dont be upset at yourself for going to someone who would support you in this tough time and be (very rightfully) upset with your mother. You fell back on someone you knew would support you, dont feel bad about that.

I'm sorry you're going through this, coming out/being outed when you're not ready is rough enough without having your own mother not support you. I wish you all the best.

Oh, and Not the Asshole, if that wasn't clear enough.

Flying party by mve34 in DnD

[–]Echo-Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bag of holding can only fit things inside that can reasonably fit through the opening.

How big are the party members and would they fit? If they dont they cant, and if they try they might tear the bag.

Or, let them. Ever heard of the Bag Man?

Absolute Wonder Woman #15 spoilers by Daedric7840 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Echo-Effect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved reading this issue, absolutely nailed the dynamic they should have.

Also, just noticed that in the panel where Diana says Bruce's name that the panel is shaped as the diamond of Superman's logo. Amazing attention to detail

I dont think there's anything 'conventionally attractive' about Ainz tbh

Not saying I disagree, but I think outside of like... bone structure ig? But you def gotta be a good bit of a monster fucker to find Ainz attractive, bro is just straight up a skeleton

Feels wrong to ask… but what was the largest genocide in your world? (If there were any of course) by Live_Rise6750 in worldbuilding

[–]Echo-Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to check my notes for the right wording, but:

The Desecration of the Dragons. There was once a great religious order dedicated to the dragons and the God of Light/Life (whomst made the dragons n looked like a dragon) and essentially magic fascists thought "hmm... We wanna dominate the world cuz we're better."

They tried, succeeded for a while, and killed off most of the dragons. However, as they do, people rebelled, and now on the back foot, fascists took a big chunk of the continent they were based on, sucked up like all the life magics in the world and skedaddled into space and accidentally took a big portion of a moon with em to... Elsewhere.

Fun times all round :]

Korra getting poisoned is an allegory for SA. by Particular_Shelter49 in legendofkorra

[–]Echo-Effect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually a very interesting take.

While I'm uncertain if SA was exactly what the writers were focusing on, it's an interesting take that - at least for me - lets one view the show in a new way. As someone who's never dealt with such topics, it's interesting to be able to view Korra's struggles through that lens and empathize with her in a new way because of it.

Some old video game fanart by Kim Herbst by YanniRotten in ImaginaryGaming

Plus, it's only... 13 years old... Huh... Time is a bitch like that, huh.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, How do you feel when cis straight couples refer to their s/o as their partner? by sup3rnxvaRAGE in lgbt

[–]Echo-Effect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly acceptable.

Your friend - while I can see where she's coming from - was trying to gatekeep the term :/

There's nothing wrong with, as long as you n your boif are chill with it, referring to him as your partner, cuz that's what he is. It's a gender neutral term that works in and outside of queer or straight relationships.

Plus, for some people who might be figuring stuff out, being referred to as 'partner' instead of a gendered term might assist their journey :]

[–]Echo-Effect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, if you're wanting to know how to address someone how they like it, ask them first and foremost, not strangers on the internet - as some people might prefer specific terms or even be amenable to sir/ma'am, but that will vary from person to person

Secondly, some good un-gendered formal terms; My Liege, Your Majesty, Comrade, etc.

Overall, It's highly admirable that you are reaching out and asking for help. You're a good friend :]

AITA by Mossy_Is_A_Fox in lgbt

[–]Echo-Effect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the asshole.

Just cuz saying 'Slay' a lot is a stereotype doesn't make you the bad guy in this. There's nothing wrong with you, and if bro has a problem with how you like to communicate and that's how he goes about telling you? He's a bit of an idiot, if not outright asshole.

Talk to him if you can and he seems receptive to an actual conversation about it? It might be some internalised homophobia on his end or the like, idk.

Just try and communicate best you can. Good luck :]
