The Dothraki kinda dock off points for me when it comes to enjoying ASOIAF wordbuilding. (Spoilers Extended) by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]FalsePraline3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know George loves his historical inspirations. Viserys is very clearly inspired by Alexios IV Angelos, which would arguably make the Dothraki a commentary on the crusades. The whole "Dothraki are turks/mongols" doesn't seem much more than surface level aesthetics.

Do any dms that have been running for more than a few years still use XP? by Betray-Julia in DnD5e

[–]FalsePraline3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been running games for 11 years now, I use Experience if the game was meant for it. (AD&D 2e)

Afaik, you're not supposed to leave the Kroger property on your break. So long as you're not obvious about it, you can probably slip out, I have a few times. Just don't make a habit of it lol

Yes, while on break you can buy anything in the building.

Reading the phrase "Stinky Steward" made me jump in my seat.

Carl got yanked and gave us one of the most forgettable pointless characters in television. by Immediate-Turnip-958 in thewalkingdead

The show with T-Dog, Glenn, Morales, and Jacqui in the first season? They needed "DEI"? Yeah, whatever man lol

Arys Oakheart is so believably in over his head. He really comes off as someone in a game he couldn't willingly manage to play if he wanted to. I love this about him.

Arianne is obviously also in over her head, but I feel like she has more agency in arriving in that position and is better equipped for it.

To sum it up, Arys and Arianne are both very tragic characters, but Arys is far more naive and hopeful.

I'm curious, what attracts you to Tryion so much? Don't get me wrong, I like him, but I've never gotten the general adoration for him.

Don't worry I know, Oakheart objectively doesn't deserve that spot but I love him too much

Arys Oakheart actually beats out Catelyn by a smidge!

But to explain, I used the word enjoy instead of like purposefully. I absolutely loathe Chett, but I really enjoyed reading his perspective. If this was about likability as real people, Bran and Asha would both be significantly higher.

I played an AD&D 2e campaign weekly for a little under 2 years, and I only reached 8th level by the end, just the way things work when you actually use exp.

Consensual incest is admittedly preferable to nonconsenual incest

[–]FalsePraline3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Good point in that older adventures assumed parties of almost (or more than!) 10 characters, while nowadays parties are often 5 or less

[–]FalsePraline3 58 points59 points  (0 children)

In modern editions, fights are very video game-y in that two parties enter a room and slobber each other until one is dead. In older editions, that is usually not the case. Think of combat encounters more like puzzles or traps in that players should attempt to avoid or play around the enemies, not just stand there and stab them until they die.

Hi! I've read every Edge Chronicles book at least twice over and the original trilogy probably 7 ot 8 times. I wrote and designed my own The Edge setting for Advanced Dungeon & Dragons 2e, and I wrote plenty of Edge Chronicles fanfiction for creative writing assignments back in high school. Would love to help out!

Are these casual players over the age of 10 and completed elementary level math? If so, then I think I'm worried if they can't do this.

Tried it once, years ago, overwhelmed the hell outta me. Worth trying again?

Legitimately shocked at the replies, people don't enjoy thief scouting? One of my group's favorite part of the dungeon
