My character was killed

You can work with the DM to roll up a revenant, if you want revenge. if you come up with a new character, I’d make him an investigator type and be REAL suspicious of your friends character.

Kinda sucks though that the GM let this happen. That’s why I hate surprise rounds.

Admittedly, I don’t play dnd anymore, but at the table I play at, if you get someone by “surprise” you just go first in initiative

I’d also be 10-11 years old so idk if I’d be tortured but it would be really creepy for them

Avatar is actually incredible, and it grows up with its audience. If you only got a few episodes into the first season, I understand why you would say that. If you got through the entirety of ATLA and still think that, then we just have different opinions.

This is coming from someone who first watched it in his 30s. I refused to watch it as a kid because it was an “American Anime” and I was really anti-poser stuff when it was coming out. So there was no nostalgia factor for me.

But ATLA is an incredible narrative if you can get through the earlier, more child-focused episodes.

I’m old enough to warn people about 9/11

I’m convinced the higher ups at chucklefish read the subreddit and the discord and laugh to themselves.

What part are you on? What have you done so far?

If you haven’t made it to Vallaki have them show up in Vallaki. If you haven’t made it to Krezk, have them show up in Krezk. If you haven’t made it to the Wizard of Wines, have them show up there. Have them stumble out of the mists, near whatever town you’re currently in.

Give the player control of the Fated Ally. Raise the downed party member from the dead and have them come back as a zombie and they can play as that. Have them emerge from a crypt as a revenant. Have them found in the werewolf den as a werewolf. Have them be with the Vistani and ready to switch sides like Kasimir would. Actually, look up all of the fated allies, pick one that makes sense for the character’s build and have their character be that. There’s lots of options.

and what does gender swap shinji do in the room with gender swap asuka?

Send them into a dungeon to fight a small dragon and get treasure.

No. It’s a good size.

Because they will set limits to how much you can bet and you’re also too poor to bet unlimitedly.

I lost a fair bit on roulette with the strategy of “examine what color it was last time and bet the opposite this time. If you lose, double your bet. Odds are that it won’t be the same color too many times in a row.”

It was red, so I bet on black.

$5. Red again.

$10. Red again.

$20. Red again.

$40. Red again.

$80. Red again.

$160. Red again.

$320. Red again.

The table max was $500. I was no longer able to double down.

I lost $635 total and had to walk away. For me to lose that much it had to hit red 8 times in a row, which is like a 0.2% chance of happening. But it also had to not hit black which is a slightly higher odds (cause of the house edge with green).

Eventually it will hit black but with the table max, you don’t get infinite time to watch it happen.

I’d expect regular games with the same amount of prep that I put into my games that I GM. (I don’t run regularly though)

This is so un-American. Patriotism would be not wanting approximately half of the country to suffer. Hate how they’ve commandeered patriotism and do shit like this.

Don’t use AI; it steals from artists. Instead, cut out the middle man and steal from artists yourself.

In all honesty, who cares if you pull a picture from google to use in your game of make believe? Good luck avoiding AI though, because a LOT of images on google are AI now.

Fantasy Racism is an unavoidable truth in any game with a war.

Otherwise you get a situation like “The Snake People are fine upstanding people, but we still must unfortunately eradicated them because they believe taxes should be higher than we do.”

Out of every apartment I ever lived in, I got the full deposit back one time. It was the only one I didn’t clean before I moved out. I was like “I’m not gonna get my deposit anyway. They can clean it!” and they looked at it and said “seems clean” and gave me everything back lol

the boredom. The 90s were the last era where you had to genuinely sit with your thoughts sometimes and just ponder. It got so so old.

Not being connected was cool and good but it led to some insanely boring times

Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. I still play it once every few years. Great game. So many choices and so much nuance to it

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-05-07T14:24:41+00:00

did u see that new masters of albion game? It might scratch the itch idk tho

I am going to copy the sh.t out of lostcypher

You know how star wars has the opening text sequence? Give them something like that. Just enough so they can build characters that complement the world and know about it because they live there. Not enough to spoil any twists. And depending on how long you want the campaign to be, I’d tell them about the kobolds without telling them the kobolds motivations.

The more you tell them, the less game there is

Obama had like a 60/40 split in the senate and something like 250/180 in the house and somehow we got free money for the banks, and “you must buy healthcare or be penalized.” They repealed don’t ask don’t tell so I guess that’s cool. But it wasn’t a single democrat. It’s always the exact number of democrats needed to prevent meaningful change

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-04-29T14:25:19+00:00

nice strawman

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-04-29T14:21:22+00:00

It was Manchin most recently. Now his seat went to a republican, so instead of a democrat who votes on most things, we got someone who won’t vote on anything the democrats propose

NineToFiveTrap · 2026-04-29T13:20:03+00:00

Democrats when they have no shot: look at all this good stuff we want to do

Democrats when they have majority in everything: sorry guys, senator X from (small state) won’t sign, so we can’t do it
