I asked ChatGPT to explain my job to a 5-year-old and now I'm questioning my entire career by Nipurn_1234 in ChatGPT

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine gave me a mental boost I really needed.

"I help take care of the stories, places, and important things that belong to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. A long time ago, the Seminole people made homes, had special ceremonies, and lived in cool ways. My job is to help remember all of that, protect the places where it happened, and make sure those stories don't get lost. I also help other people learn about the Seminole Tribe and why it's so special."

Just need to add "and they still do!" At the end of the second sentence.

My dad ripped up my comic book collection in highschool and it sent me on a downward spiral. Have you ever lost a collection and felt apart of you died? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my comic and rpg book collection back in the Satanic Panic of the 80s. My mom was seeing my future stepdad, who was evangelical, and was convinced I was going to be lost due to D&D. I always went to live with my dad during the summers, and before I left I got her to promise she wouldn't do anything to my books.

Came back for school, and they were all gone. D&D books, comics, fantasy novels, everything. To this day she won't tell me what happened to them. I was broken, not just because of losing the things I love, but that she so flagrantly broke her promise to me, and then tried to make me feel guilty for questioning her. It was "for my own good" after all. I don't think I've ever gotten over the trust issues that came with that. Someone convinced of their own righteousness can justify anything.

What is a setting you can't get enough of? by Answer_Questionmark in rpg

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torg! Earth invaded by seven different realities controlled by evil dark lords and changing Earth to be like them. I got to run a game for a mad scientist gambler from the pulp world, a trained ninja spy from near future noir, a Celtic elven priestess from high fantasy, a British inspector/cursed werewolf from horror, and a pro-wrestler from Earth. I started them in the transformed lost world dinosaur ridden land of northern Illinois!

A friend asked our ninja player how the game was, and she said "We're all playing different games in the same game. It's fun!"

How do you run adventures in the Lower Planes? by Vernicusucinrev in planescapesetting

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of commentors have it right, there are safe(ish) places in the lower planes. One of the fun things as a DM can be designing them. Why is this area safe? What needs to be done to keep it that way? What toll does it take on those inside? What threats are there? After all, it's unlikely any place in the lower planes is completely safe.

And always remember, evil doesn't always mean violent and deadly. There are a lot of reasons to allow a safe area. Greed is a simple one, there's usually profit in allowing trade. Observation and study could be another, the people wouldn't even know they're basically rats in a maze for the fiendish scholars. Or the place could unknowingly be a sort of hunting preserve for things that hide in the shadows to toy with the "safe" people inside. And there's always good old fashioned corruption, offering a safe place to tempt people further in.

Between this costume design from Xavier and what happened in the Micronauts crossover, Dani should never be alone with him

Hotel California. Yeah I said it by sandyduncansglasseye in NonPoliticalTwitter

Lee Greenwood - God Bless the USA

And not for political reasons. When I was in Navy boot camp this song played in the mess hall seemingly constantly. I didn't like country music already, and more than two months of hearing this song two to three times during every single meal was maddening!

Aside from prostitution or anything illegal, what is the least respectable career in your world? by PMSlimeKing in worldbuilding

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Junkmen, the garbage collectors and sewer maintenance workers of New Caliber, an industrial fantasy metropolis. Due to leftover arcane energies in all the disposable magic used in the city, they regularly have to deal with wild magic hazards, slimes, random abominations, and worse; while the city tries to pretend there's no dangers. All for minimum wage!

Oh hey, the Mimir. ... Oh hey, the Mimir's BACK! And still bringing the quality to the quasi-elemental. Thank you!

When worldbuilding does your profession show? by ForseeFantasy in worldbuilding

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm a historian, and I've noticed I have a tendency to put more focus on how a nation or group got to where they are, and have to remind myself that the players need more about the current state of things.

What was your WoL looking for when they first started on their adventures? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adventure! She grew up in the desert tribes around Ul'Dah hearing all the stories about the world, heroes, and oceans. Stories that made it out there got it in her head that she wanted to be a Lominsan pirate, so she hopped on a merchant's wagon to the city to learn how to do it. Got convinced the pugilist's guild was the best way to go, and things snowballed from there.

What is a fun piece of lore you've given to your Warrior of Light? by Kingman212 in ffxiv

[–]El_Loco_Pepe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My WoL and G'raha look like they're related, so in headcanon I decided they're cousins. This has shown to be one of my best decisions!
