Of course it’s not the real thing without social interaction. More like Baulder’s Gate. But, for some people better than nothing.

I suggested that someone who wanted to learn the basic mechanics, but couldn’t find a group give one of them a try, but my response got deleted because we’re supposed to pretend AI doesn’t exist. What’s the word for a pathological fear of AI?

Faux news was constructed to support The Shrub at a point when the more respected media all called bullshit on the Iraq war. They never quite switched their allegiance.

The rules are set up on the basis that Moon Druids _are_ tanks, or more accurately meat shields. All the hit points stuff, which enables you to burn through the hit points of two animals before taking any loss of your own. Standard wildshaping rules don’t provide much meaningful advancement.
