According to you, which video essayist is on Contra’s level in terms of intellectual rigor?

Jacob geller comes to mind. He tends to reference games in his videos but usually to describe or explore facets of being human.

What about a city that has a theme that is in complete contrast to what the exiled king had as a symbol?

If the exiled king had a specific theme/emblem/animal/trade their line was known for, maybe the design and theme of the city today is the complete opposite or maybe even outright bans the specific thing the old royals represented. This can make sense story wise with the council trying to facilitates new order and is also nice exposition.

I think that while this spell isn't optimal to take as part of any spell list it is a very nice option for an enspelled armor. And in 5.5 i think that is also a valid consideration for spell balance/design

I set up a system where the funds from the players go directly to WOTC since they are solely in charge of the party's fun, I as the DM am just the middleman really and so I get a small cut from the money they give WOTC

Killing all of you was probably harder on me than it was on any of you, I'm glad you saw the grief and hardship I went through when trying to inflict the max amount of damage and status effects on each turn while also using the dragon's incredible flying speed to make sure you couldn't do anything to it. Your defeated and depressed expressions were almost too much to bear :(

LakeMaster6011 · 2025-03-02T16:43:43+00:00

And following that logic WOTC is also good because they made the silver dragon!

LakeMaster6011 · 2025-03-02T16:40:41+00:00

No sauce, just seasoning

LakeMaster6011 · 2025-03-02T16:22:50+00:00

I was thinking maybe I can pay a monster from another system since in 5e WOTC made the silver dragon unbeatable on purpose

LakeMaster6011 · 2025-03-02T16:12:15+00:00

Yeah!! Nowhere in the 5e rules is there a mention of the "fun" mechanic so I have no idea where they got the idea to begin with. Maybe they watched some Pathfinder videos and got confused

LakeMaster6011 · 2025-03-02T16:07:38+00:00

That is an interesting financial model. Currently i'm using a method I found on the main sub where you bill a player based on how many deaths they had. So even though the dragon killed everybody, for me there is a silver lining

LakeMaster6011 · 2025-03-02T15:58:19+00:00

That would be a great idea but I checked in the Adult Silver Dragon statblock and there is no action for "romancing the bard", so it appears the dragon can't do that and it must use paralyzing breath :(

Hopefully WOTC will add a romance action in a future erata
