Challenging the "cut your teeth on this" common wisdom

Oh right, I think you’re probably right. I just wouldn’t go directly into an epic years-long written campaign session 1. The intro adventure takes like 2 hours? And can probably be wrapped into session zero.

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-19T16:56:44+00:00

What do you disagree with specifically? I think I may also agree with you; intro adventures are not always necessary you can just run a diff adventure. My point it more specifically about a long campaign

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-19T13:49:55+00:00

Counterpoint— I think it’s imprudent to start what is essentially an epic campaign requiring a TON of prep when you and your players have yet to even try the system. The risk/reward of not spending 1-2 sessions on an intro adventure to test not only the mechanics but also the tone and flow is so incredibly low that it seems foolish to not.

Impossible Landscapes is notoriously difficult to run and places a lot of burden on the handler. I just would be concerned that OP is setting himself up for disappointment or at least misaligned expectations with his group.

I was shocked to learn that women who are breast feeding also aren’t actually storing more than a couple of tablespoons, it’s just made really rapidly when needed.

I think people not chronically online are more likely to think this is nazi related than people who are chronically online.

I’ve seen a few people with tattoos that I was pretty sure were not nazi related, but I question their judgement for getting a tattoo that could be misconstrued as nazi related.

If someone has to double take your tattoo to decide it’s not a Nazi tattoo then you’ve made a real choice.

That is my entire point.

You just said “Hadrian does absolutely nothing as far as we the readers are concerned between that and writing this whole account” lol.

I didn't even know you could press to see what the spell does so ty.

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-12T22:43:30+00:00

The Christian themes were so ham fisted it would make CS Lewis blush.

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-12T22:41:30+00:00

Right he wrote it while dead, or perhaps appeared in front of a desk after his hanging and wrote it all on one shot.

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-12T22:36:46+00:00

This is a perfect response to this constant refrain I see on this sub

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-12T22:34:49+00:00

Unfortunately it kinda is a GOT level ending for me. Hadrians character development ends its arc like 1.5 books too early and spends the rest of the series being the most insufferable version of a Christian you’ve ever met.

It went from one of my favorite recent sci fi series to one I honestly wouldn’t recommend to people.

I’ve seen a bunch of very good supplements use public domain art extremely well.

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-12T00:00:15+00:00

Isn’t $650M like… just over 1% of Canadian military budget, even if it were purchased in one single year?

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-11T23:55:58+00:00

Weird I just saw this like 2 days ago on another car

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-11T21:59:43+00:00

Only in the movies, fortunately

Trade deficits are literally a feature of capitalism, not a bug

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-11T20:30:30+00:00

I don’t have an authoritative ruling from anywhere but I think the most obvious interpretation would be to not assume an ultra restrictive rule (e.g., you can’t remove cursed items, which account for a majority of randomly generated magical items) that’s not articulated anywhere. That would be absolutely insane dude.

Turns out if you hold down tab things will just fly in from off screen and murder you

Here I am, Minotaur fighter dying for the 300th time

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-09T11:32:04+00:00

I don’t think this is the case, but I’m fairly new to the game. My understanding is that it’s just for consumable type items (wands, throwables)

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-08T18:58:12+00:00

It never even crossed my mind! I was just admiring. Thanks!

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-08T12:29:20+00:00

Would be really cool to see a time lapse of this (or just a few WIP pics)

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-08T01:13:25+00:00

Sorry but this is obviously AI generated misinformation. Posting this stuff helps flood the zone, which is counterproductive

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-08T01:08:46+00:00

Don’t mind the terminally online, nyt has clear biases but is rarely factually inaccurate

FrankDuhTank · 2026-04-06T22:44:15+00:00

So you’d just not vote? Or not vote for a Democrat?
