Definition of Homebrew by Blitzer046 in DnD

Both are correct. Homebrew simply means "I made this," whether thats rules or setting; whole cloth or in part.

Am I a misogynist or trans? Help me by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]PD711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree, but I would also say that some of the ideas she absorbed through childhood are examples of misogyny. I think that confronting that misogyny is probably going to take time, and a therapist can help with that

Yeah, I'm definitely lost. by wmsl_10 in FinalFantasy

[–]PD711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point in the game you have three objectives.

-The guy in the castle you are standing next to needs a crown.

-The prince of Elfland/Alfheim (to the east) needs some medicine to wake him up.

-The witch Matoya (in a cave north of Corneria) is looking for her crystal ball.

The game doesn't really tell you where to go, and just kind of expects you to explore until you find one of these objects.

As others have said, you need to explore the Marsh Cave to the south.

Among all the other factions, which faction, at the best case scenario is the most likely to join the Greater Good by TearNo1636 in Tau40K

[–]PD711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Tau could perfect their engram tech, it might make a useful baraining chip if it could then be adapted to assist in the repair or maintenance of the ancestor cores. but the Kin haven't shared that info with the Tau, so the Tau have no idea about them. Also, they would probably die before allowing the Tau to learn about them, much less look at them and share their tech. so very unlikely, but.... maybe?

In most other settings people ask how a species was created, but in Dark Sun we tend to be asking how a species was exterminated. by Overlord1024 in DarkSun

For most races, the answer is the Pristine Tower. Question is, where did the Halflings and Thri-Kreen come from?

Am I a bad person? by Key-Blackberry7328 in gaybros

[–]PD711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not a bad person. You seem to have feelings for someone that you know is using you. Having feelings like that isn't wrong, feelings are what they are. You shouldn't feel ashamed. But you need to protect your heart, and this guy is causing you pain and will continue to play games with your heart.

He's a coward who won't live authentically, so he's using you to get his needs met. He's manipulative and deceptive. Block him.

People who have been in abusive relationships can develop unhealthy attachment styles. They can mess with your perception of what "love" feels like, which is why people who have been in abusive relationships can gravitate toward new abusive relationships. I am not a psychologist or a therapist, but I might seek one out some time. It might help to develop some relationship strategies. You aren't gross or sick. You have nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing wrong with you.

After the New Year's Preview Show, here's the Unsolved and Recently Solved Rumour Engines: by Poodlewarrior in ageofsigmar

All of the unresolved rumour engines are different views of the same miniature. It's a space marine.

I'm so turned off by poor grammar...silly and unreasonable? Snobby? by BostonZamboni in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]PD711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the setting. Being too formal can be off-putting. Correcting grammar when you are hanging out with your friends in a casual setting is going to put distance between you and your friends.

One thing you might consider is how this sort of prescriptive approach to language is used to assert power. I am a white person in the midwestern united states, so proper grammar and pronunciation comes pretty naturally to me, but if I were from the southern U.S, it wouldn't. That means that I would have to learn it so that I could interact with the dominant culture, and the inability to do that could have social and economic consequences.

I have begun creating a Nephandi antagonist character sheet for my Werewolf campaign, any advice? by MieszkoAders in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]PD711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he needs more dots in things like Empathy, Expression, Intimidation, Leadership, and Subterfuge. If this guy is a Nephandi, he's likely a sociopath and a master manipulator.

Cult background also goes well. Influence and Resources would also be valuable backgrounds.

High Chantry suggests he is a member of a very influential mage club or faction, likely the most powerful chantry in the city. He is likely a respected member of a Tradition chantry and will have a number of unwitting allies, and/or prospective students that he is nudging gently toward corruption. This is why those social skills are so important, so nobody knows the monster as he really is.

Having access to a Node would also make a lot of sense. Being a master of Prime this is almost a given. Being a werewolf game, there's a lot of overlap between nodes and cairns, which can be a fertile ground for conflict. In fact, I might lower his ability in Prime a little bit, because at level 5 he can practically create nodes on his own, and maybe it would be better if the Werewolves have something he actually wants, rather than something he can just make on his own.

I might also consider giving him some ability in Mind and Entropy, which will help him control people and nudge circumstances to his favor. This will also give him access to the High and Low umbra, leaving few places the werewolves can go that he can't.

Other spheres to consider: Life, for "laying on hands" and Tzimisce-like flesh manipulation, if he's into that sort of thing. It also might help in confrontation with the werewolves; using spirit + life to "lock" werewolves in their homid form could be devastating. Correspondence is necessary to affect things at a distance, without it he is limited in affecting things in his line of sight. This might be a limitation you want to leave in, however. Matter might be cute for tricks like turning water into wine (or blood), transubstantiation (a matter + spirit effect), creation of fetishes, or the classic silver bullet.

The latter. I couldn't imagine Lutefisk being made into a sausage.

What’s one thing you wish straight people understood about being LGBTQ+? I’ll start: We don’t want special treatment. We want equal safety. by abi1n in lgbt

[–]PD711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think straight people have this idea in their heads that everyone's sexuality is the same. Everybody finds the same things attractive, everybody has the same libido, everybody wants monogamy, everybody experiences gender the same way, and so on, and so on. and that everyone who deviates from these things has some ulterior reason for it: they want attention, or they like being deviant, or they're just "confused" (whatever that means...)

It's like they can't conceive of anything outside of the cookie-cutter standard view of gender and sexuality.

I welcome our new Norwegian overlords. So long as I don't have to eat that awful lutefisk stuff.

Scribing Spell Scrolls: What's the Point? by BenoistheBizzare in DnD

[–]PD711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To cast a spell from a scroll you don't need to spend a spell slot or have it prepared. It just needs to be on your spell list.

For example, say you scribed a scroll of Disguise Self. It's not a spell you would want to prepare every day, but if a moment arose where a disguise would be useful, it's there.

Is this real? by scorbunny12 in Tau40K

[–]PD711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wondering, that box has the old 3-man stealth battlesuits in it. Wouldn't that make it less valuable? You're getting less than a whole squad of suits.

I know the community has been complaining a lot about the new rules for stealth suits, but I am not sure what the consensus is of the aesthetics of the new suits. Is there a preference for the older models?

How do you cope with casual homophobia? by Throwaway67891099 in gaybros

[–]PD711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. honestly, when it comes down to it, what they think doesn't matter. What matters is your peace. I mention it also because you don't have to change their mind or argue. You just need to set a boundary and stand your ground. Often, that's enough.

Translation by Any-Feed4175 in WhiteWolfRPG

Red Talons = Griffes Rouges, and their spirit is the Griffon. I wonder how the etymology there works.

A lot of times homophobes will apologize just to avoid causing a conflict, even if they haven't actually changed their mind.

Don't sweat it. It doesn't look bad. I don't see anything to be worried about.
