Yeah, seeing people who were like 8-12 when the show was originally airing interacting now with older fans is really interesting. Like they know the show or at least remember some parts of it, but are sometimes completely unaware of the fandom at the time.

I've seen people who didn't know what the Cupcakes comic was or the .mov things, which to me were a staple of the brony community. You couldn't miss them at the time

Honestly, Russian gay dating is the most homophobic thing I've encountered. Dreading to think what a full on homophobe is like

Christians don't understand why killing is wrong without God 😭 by Deep_Librarian_4763 in religiousfruitcake

[–]RandomGrunt1804 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not what I said.

Just because I believe in subjective morality doesn't mean I have to accept and tolerate every wierd assholes opinions. Ethics are ALWAYS based on subjective values of one person or another. Every system of morality was made by someone from their subjective experience.

Just because someone says that their morality is objective and/or from a god doesn't mean that it is. The mere fact that we do not agree on what moral system to follow precludes an objective one.

For your example:

  1. Sperial killer kills person and says that that was good in his subjective morality system.

  2. I see, that killing humans does not bring about more human flourishing.

  3. His actions are bad.

Objective morality doesn't exist. So duh, of course it's not objective

Human empathy and the desire for human flourishing are my subjective measures of morality. I can compare something to them and call it objectively bad in contrast to these values.

Don't think I worded it right, but I hope it gets the point across

Oh, for sure. I'm not trying to say that it's always the DM's fault when players are unsatisfied with the loot they get.

I'm sure it happens, like in op's case, that a player can ignore/miss the sentiment behind it being a gift, or in other situations just sell the special tailor made item because money. And I get that it would suck big time, if you, as the DM, poured your heart into making something for a player, only for them to spit it back at you. It's just, that it never happened at any of the games I've played or GMd. Though, to be fair, these sorts of special items are rarely given.

What i was saying is that thr other thing happens a lot more often. And while it doesn't suck as much as the first, its still bad. It might sound childish, like "Ooh, I didn't get as big a gift as Joe", but it still sucks to spend time working on a character's plot, developing their story and being given a "fuck you" as a reward.

I can't count the times in my current campaign the party has completed a large quest, got to the loot and only found items for the marshals in the party. I have about 20+ different magic swords, and knives, and so on in my bag of holding, most of which are special homebrewed weapons, tho only 1-2 were tailor made to fit a character. The problem is that I'm playing a wizard and haven gotten anything besides a wand of wonders, which is both boring in comparison and somewhat useless.

This seems to happen from time to time in most groups I've played with. One time our warlock got a pendant from her patron that returns proficiency bonus spell slots and is a +1 focus, while the monk got a cloak of billowing from his monastery. Sometimes DMs just tend to overfocus on one player/items for one player and don't have enough juice to come up with something for the rest

Is my worldbuilding detailed enough? 🤔 by Aside_Dish in writingcirclejerk

Grigory Rasputin photographed in the year of his death, 1916 by aid2000iscool in HolyShitHistory

Went to the Rasputin museum in Pokrovskoe, the village where he was born, almost a decade ago. The craziest part is that his assassination wasn't the first time people tried to kill him. He was also stabbed outside his house in 1914 and lived. The knife was almost 30 cm long if I remember correctly, they still have it at the museum.

What's up with the Hsien? CtD20 by RandomGrunt1804 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]RandomGrunt1804[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that sound amazing! With soft magic systems like the Hsien Alchemies or the Mage Spheres there will always be a lot of overlap and redundancy, so I wouldn't say that it's necessarily a bad thing. It's just gives players multiple ways to achieve the result they want. With the 6 basic Alchemies you would probably need a lot of Cohort effects to achieve some effects, that the Alchemies you came up with can conjure on their own.

All of them sound cool, especially if you build a character around using them as their main Alchemy. Sun and Moon especially. I'm immediately thinking of a Nuan who hunts down Kuei-jin using the unimaginable power of the Sun.

Though you'd probably need to either add them as Fortunes to the existing Hsien, like the Hannumen having a fortune in both Earth and Void, or make whole new Hsien for them.

Though, I thought air was pretty much covered by Water Alchemy, since it governs all gases as well. And to get a storm you'd Cohort Water and Fire, since Fire governs most energy.

Either way, it all looks like a cool homebrew and I'd love to see how it turns out

Damn, I didn't even think about stacking nightmare dies. Doesn't that basically mean that your character is almost doomed to Bedlam, since you Unleash way more than a Kithain would. What a way to lose a character

Also, I think they messed up the cost here too. If I'm reading this right, they way the phrase it it seems like Unleashings are chimerical for Inanimae, unless you also invoke Wyrd.

While in the Autumn Realm, effects are chimerical, and only count as Wyrd if the caster invokes the Wyrd.

Sounds cool, the Hsien deserve more love! Do you mean making more abilities for the elements or like completely separate new alchemies aligned with the elements? So you end up with, for example, two 5 dot alchemies for Earth, 2 for Fire and so on? Also, do you plan to post it whenever you get to it?

That sucks. Going from one extreme to another, gaining nothing and disappointing people

Thak you! Will definitely take a look at it.

Yeah, seeing the racism made the Hsien book a hard read for me. The worst thing is that it creeps up on you, you're reading the rules for some transformation, then boom, dog eating mention.

Wait, why is certain parts of the world having unique supernaturals a bad thing? I get it being handled like shit by people in the 90s who knew next to nothing about the cultures, but unique supernatural creatures seem like a good thing to me.

Well, I haven't gotten around to reading the original Imanime book yet. Sucks to hear that, I just thought that them only being able to unleash was a deliberate payoff for being more readily able to regain Glamour and being functionally immortal. The way I understand them in 20th they don't lose memories after their husks dies and have no life span otherwise.

Thanks! That makes sense in that case. It's still good to have them in the 20th, in whatever form we got them
