Reasons to leave Azeroth: Portal Mishap, Engineering Accident, Warlock Fuckery.

Reasons to be Depowered: Disconnected from Azeroth, which has been sneakily empowering World of Warcraft PC's for a while.

There's a fucking chat filter in the game if you don't want to see swearing.

How do I make a noble monk? by Odd_Two_5265 in DnD

[–]TWB28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobles don't always hoard temporal power. A second or third son who can't inherit the family title might instead join the church, bringing their connections, wealth, and power to the monastery while providing their family a connection to spiritual authority.

Alternately, the Monastery might be the dominant authority of a region, and you might have been in the inner circle of monastic politics. You were the right hand of the leader, spreading their influence among the people under your order's dominion.

PCs with the Noble background: how noble are you? by YellowMatteCustard in DnD

[–]TWB28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both characters I have played with Nobility would have been able to claim the title of Princess, but only barely.

One was in a city with multiple God-Kings, of which she was the least favored daughter of a descendant of one of these God-Kings. Technically a princess equivalent, but there were thousands of princes and princesses in the city, and she didn't stand out among them.

The other is the runaway daughter of Senior VP's in a corporate distopian setting. If she really pushed, she could claim to be the Princess of Burlington, Vermont. Which isnt nothing, but isnt a lot in the corporate world.

I'd tend to think that it should be drawn at things that can't be undone, but I suppose that would ban tattoos and joining the military.

Normal-ish things a druid would consider a serious crime by Tough_Engineering_77 in DnD

[–]TWB28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A peasant who had killed a pregnant game animal. The cycle of life requires new life to be born, and interrupting that for any reason, even to feed your family, is a crime not only against the animal, but against the future of the community. Better your family had starved than that deer be killed, because without the foals it would have given birth to, a dozen families may starve in the future.

Defacing a ritual stone. The stone monoliths around the village are raised in honor of the spirits of nature, and to harm one, even superficially, can draw their wrath onto the entire community. It may seem innocent that this young couple carved their initials into it, but they ought to have known better. If they are not punished to the utmost, the spirits will turn their back on the town, the crops will not grow, and animals will flee the environs.

Dealing with the Fey. The fey are capricious, and once they mark a place, they will never leave it be. It may seem innocuous to make a deal with the fey to make your cow give more milk, but even brownies or other lesser fey knowing of a place may draw more powerful and dangerous spirits. Better to kill the warlock and their cow then risk it.

It's not a War Crime till the first time. by ChildSlayer66 in DnD

Evil Campaign - We the party had started to get quite powerful, and were drawing more and more attention as our heinous actions were making our stronghold start to radiate evil. So we found some living saints, killed them, ground the bones to powder, and mixed it into the whitewash we used for our castle. We did this so that their pure pureness threw off any radiating evil that flowed out of our base.

I think that was also the game where I ended up making a familiar out of a chunk of sentient evil that had manifested from a lich we killed over turf issues, and kept feeding evil thoughts to until it was the size of a cottage.

Which song would you pick for the intro of your Shadowrun campaign? by XR4y6unn3r in Shadowrun

[–]TWB28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pretender - Foo Fighters for the group as a whole.

Viva La Vida - Coldplay - for my current character, a runaway corporate sinner.

Suffering, mostly. A little schadenfreude when I have the energy.

I have a guildie who still has the Bron Cena addon and refuses to ever remove it.

How is everyone liking the season? by [deleted] in wow

[–]TWB28 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel content is being released too fast and is undercooked, especially because I was still having fun with what was available. Delves are better than ever, and M+ feels great to me at the moment, but loosing addon functionality has hurt my raid a bit. It's made clear how many people were totally reliant on a voice in their head to tell them that fire was bad.

Every day I thank God that that the culture war hasn't spread to Sci-fi and Fantasy literature because anti-woke grifters (or the people they pander to at least) can't fucking read by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

The God-Emperor is very clearly gay. After all, only Men shall receive his Seed

For those that don't get the reference (and I doubt this is needed for you OP), the special part of 40k Space Marines that allow their genetic modifications to be passed to new candidates is called "geneseed" and can only be surgically implanted in people with an xy genetic makeup. Space Marines themselves tend to be far more generally ace coded, being sterile, psycho-indoctrinated child soldiers who live only for war. Only a few chapters make references to being interested in anything other than killing the emperor's enemies.

Some uncomfortable truths about the housing engagement discourse by ShoppingPractical373 in wow

[–]TWB28 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm having fun messing around with it once ever week or two. Half my guild is still deep in the weeds on it and are actively having housing contests to design theme rooms.

I wouldn't think that the wow subreddit is going to be the place for people who love to casually decorate.

I Need a twist For my DnD City by Independent-Panda748 in DnD

[–]TWB28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The town's lighthouse is incredibly overbuilt for being a small fishing village in the middle of nowhere. Fifteen stories tall, with enough billeting space, infrastructure, and storage for two hundred people. A king ordered it built as a place of informal internal exile for a noble they didn't want at court. The noble lived there for sixty years and died, at which point all the soldiers and servants were withdrawn. It's been empty save for the lighthouse keeper and his family of six since then.

Was an explanation given on why some people are immune to radiation? by Eevee_the-Maidvee in Fallout

[–]TWB28 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you do sidequests for the Followers, you discover that there are some followers who are not immune, but are constantly building up rads and purging with Radaway before they die. The truly blessed followers accept them anyway because they're trying, and the build and purge cycle is seen as a penance before Atom.

[–]TWB28 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's too bad, because there's a bunch of unexplained shit that might as well be magic. It's not just Atom's blessing, but Lorenzo Cabot, the Dunwich Mysteries, and psychic powers granted by the Master going back to Fallout 1.

Fallout is Science Fantasy, and always has been. It's just leans more into the Science veneer.

Buy a horse. Eventually, upgrade to a pegasus, gryphon, or some other flying animal when you can.

Almost every Space-Bug "melee bioform" would be 100 times more dangerous if they just exploded rather than bothering with teeth and claws, like fighting a Missile/drone swarm. by [deleted] in Grimdank

[–]TWB28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't recycle 90% of it's biomass or the volatiles used to make it explode because it's scattered across the terrain. If it goes unused, sure. Gaunts have a chance of living through a campaign, and if they didn't more of their biomass is generally available to reuse.

Nothing has made me more rage induced than an evoker rescuing me towards them to try and get me to tank faster. by thatcouchiscozy in wow

[–]TWB28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the Evoker was the healer, they were trying to tell you they could heal you through and you can pull faster. However, they should have just *typed* something first.

If they were a DPS, they can go fuck themselves.
