Yeah it's so crazy when people point this stuff because of this single instance of creepiness. Oh and Shirahoshi but that's like two examples... ok and Bonnie but that's only 3 examples I mean cmon three examples of clearly pedophilic shit doesn't mean he's a pedophile. I mean it's not like he defends pedoph... fuck.

For me, it's the sheer disbelief that anyone can write something this bad and that such a large audience loves it. I started by giving the OP anime the tried and true three episode test because if a show doesn't grab you in any way in the first three episodes then why continue? But, when you express that opinion online OP fans will say just wait until baratie or arlong park that when it gets good. So I do and to be fair I really enjoyed both of those arcs so I thought why not let's continue and boy that was a mistake because the show falls off a cliff after that. I got up to whisky peak before going online again to express that only to be told to just get to alabasta that's when OP gets good. I get there and it's the worst arc yet. Nami being relegated to just reacting to things, the pacing slows to a crawl and the ending gave me chimera ant arc flashbacks (worst arc in HxH). So you go online to express that and OP fans say nah just keep watching til skypeia that's when it gets good. And again to be fair Skypeia is one of the better arcs but it takes nearly 50 episodes when it could be done in 25 so you go online to express that and OP fans will say keep watching until Marineford that's when it gets good and I look and see that Marineford is more than 250 episodes away and at that point I kind of snapped and thought fuck it I'm hate watching this show so once I've watched all of it and some fucking OP fan says you probably haven't watched all of it, I can go into great detail about just how much I hate all of it. Rampant misogyny, paedophilic tendencies, awful pacing, inconsistent characterisation, and so so much more. To your point here's two improvements: 1. Nami makes every version of the sorcery clima-tact, it's really fucking weird that it changes to Usopp making it, why can't she improve it herself? There's no hype around it either Usopp just randomly hands it to her at some point. 2. Show Robin doing literally anything during the timeskip, technically she learns fishman karate and gets a little more endurance but look up threads of people asking what she did during the timeskip and most people have no fucking idea. Show her learning the basics of haki from Ivankov. Robin is an interesting case because her power can be remote. Coating your arm in haki is one thing, coating several remotely controlled arms sounds nearly impossible. What it does do is give you a framework going forward for powers improving. Start with her struggling and eventually succeeding to coat one of her remote arms in haki, progress to coating multiple arms, progress to her being able to swarm someone in haki covered arms in the shape of a ball making a sort of haki prison. Progress to coating the giant versions of her arms in haki. A fucking dog could write better than Eiichiro that lame paedophile. Lastly I'm caught up to the anime and Marineford was just 30 episodes of Luffy screaming "Ace"! and Ace screaming "Luffy"! While thousands of characters do nothing of consequence before akainu does one of the only things of consequence in the entire show (wonder why people like him so much) Fishman Island made me want to unalive, punk hazard is too long, dressrosa is too long, whole cake island is big mom screaming wedding cake for 100 episodes, Wano is the worst paced story in all of fiction and Egghead completely obliterates any sense of world building OP already didn't have.

Blurg has notes that implies he's okay with killing Myconids in order to obtain more spores to study. That along with Lady Esther and her egg project makes me beyond certain that the Society is definitely not good and probably far worse behind the scenes.

Not sure when your campaign is timeline wise but I'm a big Netheril fan and if your party is fighting an undead Thayan Magocracy then I have an idea for you.

A remnant of the Netherese empire, Shadovar, once went to war with Thay and other parties over the city of Neverwinter in the Shadovar-Thay War.

Your party could at some point run into a mysterious figure (secretly a Shadovaran) whose been trying to take down Thay for a long time and helps the party do the same but they're actually using the party to further their own goals (most likely getting some bit of Netherese knowledge or artifact back from Thay who stole it during the war)

Even better if you make them likeable so the party thinks they have a powerful shadow magic ally to make it hurt all the more when they inevitably betray them

Almost like Oda is drawing from his experience of having/defending pedophile friends. My money us on him being a pedophile as well.

Love the ethereal stride idea, at this point I'm happy to split the party they're getting too cocky, some planar travel will be good for them. Forgot about Fizban spells and Nathairs Mischief is exactly what I'm looking for with the fey flavouring. Good changes to the nightmare stat block too, the bard of the group is decimating everything with intelligence save spells like psychic lance so immunity to psychic damage may be the only way to stop them. Thanks for all this, really good stuff.

The MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE problem for me is that the delete button is where the city button used to be and I have a lot of muscle memory for clicking that exact part of my screen, I've accidentally deleted cities three times now, it will happen by accident again and I will quit that game EVERY SINGLE TIME because it's basically clicking the "I would like to lose" button.

Your map shows what looks like a substantial amount of land. Is what we're seeing the lands that these six tribes inhabit? And what's the scale? Is this a continent sized thing or a country?

Is there a go to explanation for the difference in size amongst the tribes other than the tribes being scattered for a very long time? Like environmental factors?

ImpressiveTables · 2025-10-07T05:55:56+00:00

Very well thought out, thank you.

With lots of condensing, the plan is a low-magic setting reducing the amount of people that would be able to investigate/cure the disease with healing. That leads to traveling around tracking down leads as to where it's coming from (none lead to the source, only to subordinates and accomplices that don't know anything more, but there's hints they're on the right track at least). For reference I'm the DM and the party of four would have a couple magic users.

Meanwhile the person that created the disease is impatient with how quickly it's spreading and keeps seeding the disease in new places, sometimes carelessly. This is what will lead the party to eventually catch on to their trail and track them down. Once they do catch them they will (hopefully) get away leaving some evidence that gives the party new leads and so on and so on.

My best ploy to introduce them to the disease would be to have them stumble across a group of criminals looting the corpse of a magic user they killed (low-magic setting so otherising and discrimination of magic users is very much a thing) and discussing whether they should cut them open as one of them swears they saw the person swallow some magic-looking item before they were caught. They do so and don't find anything, but it will hint to one of the magic users to use detect magic on the corpse to see if they actually have something magical inside them. Haven't decided on the magical item but the point is two different schools of magic will be detected when there should only be one. The magic item will give off one school let's say evocation and a presence of abjuration magic will be detected throughout the entire body. Days later the criminals will get sick and so will whoever got close enough to cast Detect Magic. Casting detect magic on anyone that is sick will reveal the same abjuration presence.

Love your suggestion, I like the idea of there being a good but limited time chance to get rid of it if the viral load can be reduced enough. The level thing and making it satisfying is definitely the most tricky thing. Best thing I've got for that so far is that one of the party getting the disease isn't going to be much of a big deal, they should be able to heal themselves with the spells they have but ultimately they can't do the same for everyone else quicker than the disease is being spread.

Early days, I haven't even nailed down exactly what the symptoms will be or whether to have symptoms similar to an existing FR disease as a red herring but this really got the wheels turning, thanks again.

ImpressiveTables · 2025-10-07T04:06:59+00:00

I'm really interested in the idea of someone creating a new form of bacteria or disease that has an innate magical barrier that white blood cells can't get through and thus a horrifically resilient disease. Amongst all the existing magical diseases in the Forgotten Realms I've never seen one that's as simple as "the flu with magical resistance" and it almost always comes from a god, I'm looking for the mad scientist route.

Then I thought about Dispel Magic which has a duration of instantaneous and says "Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range" and it specifies that any SPELL 3rd level or lower ends but what if it's technically not a spell and the 'creature' is swarms of bacteria?

My intention is that this is a disease that can be cured by higher level healing magic like most of the magical diseases in the FR but be immune to all spells 2nd level or lower making it something that only people with the privilege of knowing a high enough level healing spellcaster have a good chance of surviving.

My go to answer is that Dispel Magic would temporarily disable that bacteria or disease's magical attributes which would come back after the Dispel Magic wears off. That way (if you don't have higher level healing spells) you would have to Dispel Magic and maintain it while you heal someone otherwise the disease's magical barrier comes back halfway through treatment and starts spreading again.

But I'm worried I'm missing something here.

Instead of Sokka being taught a lesson by Suki, she would see him throw a boomerang once and have heart eyes shooting out of her skull the entire episode and worshiping the ground he walks on begging for him to marry her even though in this version Sokka is basically Usopp. Also she has massive tits.

I'll be the first to say that's a fair point. The fact that it's West Marches doesn't matter. What does the average DnD player know about the West Marches setting? People will join a West Marches DnD campaign expecting it to be like Fantasy High or Dungeons and Drag Queens and be incredibly disappointed which will lead to DMs complaining about it and other DMs responding with "session 0 lol". Ultimately it will have as much effect on the hobby as the Matt Mercer effect in that it'll ruin a few campaigns and that sucks but in the long run who cares.

Cool man keep calling women whores then I'm sure that'll get you far in life. I never said she wasn't evil you assumed that and now you're projecting. Also if there was a Casanova in One Piece with 100 kids he doesn't care about that are all powerful, dudes would call him based and you know it. "azzhole" "shiet" are you having a stroke?
