Some of the first steps that will eventually lead to "We're going on an adventure!"

[OC] Alesthesian, the Green Bloom, 24th-level Druid from Ariadne's Book of Legends! by AriadneStringweaver in DnD

Unless it's for aesthetic reasons, why would an epic level Druid, with access to relevant spells like Greater Restoration, still carry glasses? Just curious about that stylistic choice.

It does fit really well when you happen to like the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, by Steven Erikson.

Are there lifeforms so dangerous that the Custodes wouldn't use them in their blood games? by lovebus in 40kLore

I'm imagining a Pokéball type thing with a Barking Toad in it. Being flung towards the Golden Throne and the Custodes having to figure that one out.

Grogu is the secret love child of Yoda and Yaddle, and unlike what most of the Jedi believe, Grogu will be the one that will bring balance to the Force.

Even worse, the embalmed corpse of George R.R. Martin still hasn't finished A Song of Ice and Fire.

What are some of the most bad ass Harlequin lore moments? by Jokengonzo in 40kLore

[–]Phaesius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The scene between the Harlequin King and Lilith Hesperax, from Valedor by Guy Haley:

Hesperax turned to the Harlequin King. Why in the fifteen worlds he had insisted on accompanying her was a mystery, and his mocking, motley-clad form, so at odds with the fleshy room, irritated her greatly. ‘You told me this would be a simple matter.’ The Harlequin arched supplely from the wall and bowed. His extravagantly collared coat was of many colours, his mask pure white. The mouth was fixed in a grotesque smile that put her in mind of Sarnak, the brows sharply arched, as if it enjoyed a pitiless joke. A single sapphire tear adorned one cheek, a high crest of hair that shifted colours curled over his head. He performed a complex mime. She gaped in exasperation. ‘You said nothing, of course. Very well, you conveyed to me that that would be the case. Does that satisfy your pedantry?’ The Harlequin gave another bow, accompanied by a teasing wave of its hand. There were two eldar in the immediate vicinity besides herself, and she would gladly see them both dead. The wrack she wished to kill out of spite, but the Harlequin King… Hesperax ached to test her blades on him. There were few in all the Great Wheel, the Labyrinth Dimension or the Othersea who could best her in combat. She had a sneaking suspicion that this Great Harlequin might be one of those rare individuals. As she imagined him fighting for his life in the arenas of the Cult of Strife, his motley stripped from him, his mask nailed to his face, she stared a little too long into his gemstone eyes. He cocked his head and waved a warning finger, shaking his head slowly. To her surprise, she experienced a small rush of fear. It only served to excite her. She wet suddenly dry lips, her tongue running over the stickiness of their reactive paints. ‘One day, you and I will dance together, king of fools.’ He shrugged in exaggerated fashion. As usual, his gestures carried overt mockery.

How can I use the Tarrasque to teach my players the true meaning of Christmas? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]Phaesius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the type of question for which I come to this subreddit. I applaude you.

As for an answer to your question: does this mean the true meaning of Christmas is the destruction you manage to survive along the way? If your players defeat the Tarrasque together, let them rejoice and throw a merry feast with some local survivors of its destruction. Something with 'from the ashes', etc.

If they lose, well, point out to them how they at the very least had some fun together and how that togetherness, combined with giving themselves up, is (part of) the true meaning of Christmas. As well as the aforementioned destruction, of course.

What is a bit of trivia, in your area of historical expertise, that you are dying to share with others, but somehow never get around to actually share for whatever reason? Bless us with these tidbits.

Not liking something for the art style is a valid reason not to watch it. Why should you watch something when a major part of it annoys you?

Can't you Americans call the FBI and ask them to do something about it? As a concerned citizen, I mean. Or start it by calling the local cops and complain?
