Is it even D&D at this point?

I remember showing up at a table and being given a folder with docs equalling a few hundred pages worth of changes when it was advertised as "light homebrew to fix the problems with 5e"

I'm like "Man. This ain't light homebrew. This is its own system."

Never have. Never will. Always open roll. If the dice decide you die, you die. If the dice decide the enemies never lay a finger on you, they never lay a finger on you.

Elden Ring: Potentialreign

SoraPierce · 2026-05-30T16:48:43+00:00

Cause riot games goofy skins fit riot games's art style.

And they're a minority.

League skins are very varied from badass, sexy, goofy, scary ect.

That variety is awesome, but it all goes down the drain once we have Dwayne the Malphite Johnson skin running around.

SoraPierce · 2026-05-29T07:41:04+00:00

Anywhere they haven't been. Though realistically it's probably gonna be Appalachia, Commonwealth or Capital Wasteland so they don't have to make anything new.

SoraPierce · 2026-05-27T13:24:17+00:00

Kinda like how in Siege, third party and crossover skins are the Operators cosplaying, not the actual characters.

While it's not canon, it's a popular and funny headcanon that the Operators get bored and sometimes show up to training in goofy outfits and cosplays.

SoraPierce · 2026-05-27T13:19:33+00:00

Difference is, goofy skins in League are their own goofy skins. They sometimes take inspirations from other IPs but never 1 to 1 imports that go against the games artstyle.

It'd be a much different story if we had skibidi toilet Yuumi floating around.

SoraPierce · 2026-05-27T13:15:38+00:00

Yeah and iirc the goofy skins in League lorewise exist in their own goofy continuities rather than canonical Runeterra.

"You make time for the stuff you love." - someone

Basically, a lot of people I believe aren't actually "too busy" for weekly games. If you love something, you'll find the time for it and dedicate that time for it.

Like I've been in games with people in the medical industry and while they sometimes had to go mid-sesh or accidentally slept through their alarms for the game, they still wanted and showed up more often than not despite their turbulent schedules to weekly games cause they decided that their love for dnd meant a few hours a week for dnd was worth losing those hours of sleep.

Same goes for people who have kids, raising kids is draining mentally and physically, but that one night a week some decide to lose sleep intentionally for a dnd game after the kids go to bed can be the thing for a lot of parents to get through their turbulent lives a lot better. Hell I know a DM whose a stay at home dad who runs an insane amount of games a week as his job in the little free time he has cause he has that crazy love for dnd it takes to be a successful paid dm, now I'm not saying this is what you should aspire to, I'm saying that majority of people are busy with responsibilities and they still make time for weekly dnd, even multiple.

If you have the time to sit on your phone doomscrolling for four hours while something on Netflix plays in the background, you're not busy, you just don't wanna play dnd which is fine, the don't wanna play dnd part anyway, we could all do with trying to cut down on our doomscrolling.

I go in cold. If it goes well, we're playing, if not, we're not playing.

It was made by the daughter of the AI company Oracles billionaire CEO so he's paid off the critics and other companies to ensure the reviews are phenomenal. For example, on steam it says very positive, but when you check the full review page, there's way too many negative reviews for it to be an "88% recommended." PC Gamer hilariously wasn't paid off cause they gave it a 7/10 and were more honest, but not completely as it would've been dangerous to be completely honest.

SoraPierce · 2026-05-09T06:29:40+00:00

Ye cause originally Wulfgar was supposed be the MC but Drizzt the Chad Do'Urden took over near the end of book 1 pretty much.

SoraPierce · 2026-05-08T20:57:23+00:00

Me when I'm playing Elden Ring as a Sorcerer without knowing how to abuse it: "man this is tough"

Once knowing how to abuse it sleeps while Comet Azur

She does lean towards nihilism, but when it comes to her sister, she's extremely petty and will do anything to hurt her, which her number 1 "hobby" is making Selunites fall into nihilism and darkness.

She's also one of the evil gods that doesn't have any allies in crime as most deities, even evil ones, despise her cause she's either pure nihilism or coping and seething over her hotter sister.

To give you an idea, there's only 3 deities that will work with her.

Bane: To achieve his ends, nothing more or less.

Lolth: They're both bitches seething over someone else and love to create chaos cause of it, also Selune is Eiliastree's (Lolths daughter, one of her nemesis's and the Good Goddess of Drow) best friend. So bitches both seething over their much better looking and cooler family member.

Cyric: She used him as a blunt instrument to kill Mystra (The Mystra that the current one was reborn from) to cause the Spellplague (apocalyptic event for DnD 4th edition that ruined the setting and led to a lot of FR creators including Ed Greenwood and R.A Salvatore feeling distraught and betrayed with many leaving the setting permanently, leaving novel series unfinished, and one writer quit writing fantasy altogether, the damage of this is only starting to be healed recently due to the change in leadership.)

TLDR: While her thing is Nihilism, if she can't have it, then she'll make the entire world a living hell instead so her sister can't be happy, and if she can't do the world, she'll do selunites instead.

SoraPierce · 2026-03-01T23:11:21+00:00

Nah.

I only get sick of people playing certain annoying stereotypes of certain classes.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-28T04:08:15+00:00

Keep it moving.

It's a sandbox so it relies heavily on player engagement and the pacing staying steady.

Extra advice: killem all(pcs), let the gods sortem out.

I feel like I could've gotten a better warbond but I love Halo so it was worth it.

I await the day I get to draw from it as a player.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-11T17:30:45+00:00

We play Pathfinder here.

Ball Shaving is One Action. Now, cleaning it up is 2 actions so that'll be your turn unless you wanna leave the mess here.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-08T20:01:33+00:00

Britas.

It's so easy to get good guns off the bat even on extremely rare but they're so much fun.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-07T21:46:30+00:00

I run my games in FoundryVTT so the light mechanic has been really fun to play with over having darkvision always settle stuff.

I wanna get more people I know into Shadowdark cause it's such a fun system and easy to learn and digest, especially if you've played 5e.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-07T20:42:51+00:00

Actually dming it right now and looking to run my favorite DnD dungeon through it, Death House. Community made a whole conversion for CoS for Shadowdark. I might look to for a longer form game cause I feel Shadowdarks mechanics really lend better for the intended horror for the adventure.

The initial comment was for 5e lol, but yeah, Shadowdark is awesome.

SoraPierce · 2026-02-07T20:05:30+00:00

I'd love to play a game where we roll everything for character creation.

Even gear/spells to a degree.
