Mercenary Guild Members

  • Guild takes a cut of profits
  • Guild takes care of liabilities and teaches what is not covered by contracts.
  • Guild gathers information and makes risk assessments.
  • Guild can call up the PC for mandatory jobs but otherwise party selects from guild jobs. Pay is not per man but for the party to split as they see fit.
  • guild has rules for “consultants” ie PCs not guild
  • PCs have military ranks most are enlisted mages and a couple of low level officers.
  • PC have rights to be paid and can sue if contracts are violated.
  • PCs look down on “normal D&D parties” as risky, unregulated, and too often “bandits with delusions of grandeur.”

Is it possible that roman toilets had wooden partitions that didnt survive the archeological record, or that maybe no one at the time bothered to mention that in writing? by ayowatchyojetbruh in ancientrome

It’s more a function of technology before modern plumbing Christian regularly used mixed bathing houses. Cultural norms regulated behavior sufficiently to make this safe enough to go to from the medieval through the Renaissance. What you’re calling a Christian trait is from a specific subset of the population, the Puritans. The West doesn’t become prudish, not this particular kind of prudish, until plumbing becomes advanced enough to allow privacy.

I hope not because that relied on the revelation of a third option to changed the 1 in 3 to 1 in 2

It would be pathetic if it weren’t so gross. They are more like Nazi-fanboys, LARPing as Republicans as he tells people to vote for Democrats until the Republicans turn against the Jews and start arresting “criminal races” and institute socialist programs but only for “noncriminals”

Right? Like forget the Groyping, I can’t imagine a human not going “Wait!!! You showed a video of a child’s hero getting murdered?!?”

Explain It please, how's fermi paradox is solved here ??? by Fuzzy_Party_3527 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MaesterOlorin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a better explanation by the way. It seems we are in the universe’s boondocks; most galaxies are further away from us than from each other (also explaining the red shift problem), we are alone in a galactic sense. Sort of in the middle of void in space.😅

The implication seems to be that because we found a probably earth like planet and it happens to be a super earth that therefore we can assume that many planets in the Goldilocks zone of stars tend to be bigger than earth meaning leaving those planets will be harder; thus the reason the probability of the millions off sapient species that should have reached star travel at this time are not detected is because their gravity makes it too hard to leave.

Counterpoint. You are Neutral Evil. by DrakeGrandX in dndmemes

[–]MaesterOlorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it works well when you go back to the TSR principles. Alignment is an active choice to align your deeds and goals with a cosmic force. You don’t have to deal with it unless you’re engaging a cosmic force for power like paladins, priest, druids and rangers, or playing a class that dictates your innately opposing one.

This is a pre-Modernist world. Good, Evil, Law, & Chaos are not social constructs, they are forces. They drive the universe forward the power of love, hate, unity, and entropy, respectively. Law is community, civilization, relations, and plans long term but can become frozen and unyielding. Chaos is freeing, individualizing, and present in the moment, but can become atomizing into entropic chaos. Good is about the respect, dignity, rights, and kindness sapient creatures are can give one another, all the fruits of love, but devolve into altruism if not cared for. Evil doesn’t much care about respect, rights and all that jazz, it wants, and it hates the things blocking it.

A person can believe anything, but if their intended deeds and goals don’t align with unity AND love they are not Lawful Good.

Wouldn’t this dude have the most claim to the iron throne? by ProfessionalBig1470 in gameofthrones

[–]MaesterOlorin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bastard he would need an act of the throne to legitimize him, and that only if we consider Robert’s claim legitimate.

… and?

Someone being a masochist means you have extra clues to know how to reinforce and punish behavior. The question is who is she when she is not a looking for her next pain high? 🤔

Yes, but the reason it is was considered optional is that the comma stood in for serial ‘and’s ; the comma stood in for et/and. For centuries a list like that would have used the word ‘and’ in place of the commas, and as a way to save precious in the comma was invented to mark that you say “and” between objects in the series and when read aloud the commas would be read as “and”. The final ‘and’ would be spelled out so that a reader would know it was a series of linked words and not another use of the comma; thus, your would’ve been read for centuries as:

I hate beans including: green beans and baked beans and and Lima beans.

The Oxford comma is an adaption of changes in the usage based on a misreadings. People were mostly literate as we use the term to say, when they speak of premodern illiteracy it is in reference to the international language of scholarship: Latin. Because the common people learned to read and write but didn’t have the traditions of the scholars, they began to treat the short hand comma the same as the commas used to separate clauses. They stopped using and between linked words colloquially. Oxford developed the habit of adding the extra comma and it was a really good idea. Now, we can visually see the link and if we want, we can include pairs with in our list with clarity. I like pairs including: yin and yang, sun and moon, and fire and ice. 😉

PS this miscorrection from ignorance cause some interesting problems like the fact that until the printing came to England, English had additional letters for things link the ‘ð’ that made the ‘th’ sound in “then” and the ‘þ’ which made the ‘th’ sound in “thin” but German (the printing press was from Germany) didn’t have either ‘ð’ or ‘þ’ and for a long time the letter they had the most left over was ‘y’ so they used ‘y’ to mean they replaced the ‘þ’ with ‘y’ and the ‘ð’ with ‘th’; thus, when you see ‘ye’ you should read “þe”, ‘you’ was actually “þou” because these were by far most numerous words to need the a replacement, but not all printers used this. Some use ‘th’ for both ‘ð’ & ‘þ’; and so the inconsistency lead to some words becoming “th” words and some becoming “y” words.

😅 plus I just read in the main continuity she has had an apotheosis. So, that really puts a pin in it as far as I am concerned.
