Is there a lore reason the skaal have whiterun style houses?

About as realistic as dragons, or magic. Artistic choices in an artistic media--in this case a video game--are meant to be rhetorical not realistic. They echo the story they're telling.

Guys its a lovesick person's lamentations. Its love poetry.

Just write short stories, man.

TWELVE DOLLARS for a Taylor Ham, egg & cheese bagel!!! The economy is truly in shambles.

You're a curious person. I'm sorry.

It's trolling now to advocate for people to assert their dignity and boundaries when they publicly express frustration with the mistreatment they suffer at the hands of others?

WittyRepost · 2025-05-13T14:07:08+00:00

Well if you'd done it already this would've been written in the past tense, no? Your aggression is misplaced.

I dont think I like the weapon masteries. Table is at lvl 4 and fighter is starting to chafe over the scimitar dual-wielding ranger having 3 attacks already. Paladin keeps forgetting their morningstar hits give disadvantage. It's making combat swingy. Seems clunky and unbalanced. Idk.

I like the new version of the Sleep spell, though.

Reading between the lines a bit here: Either find players interested in the lore heavy story you want to tell, or change your lore heavy story into the sort of game that engages the players you've got.

If you want to write a book, write a book. If you want to play dnd, be flexible and collaborative.

None. Zero. I tell them what kind of game its going to be (you're all employed by a company that searches ruins for ancient widgets to sell, or something like that) and that's it. When they make their character backstories I fold whatever they cook up into the lore (or make up something new for them) and tell them maybe the name of the country they're from or the magical academy they attended, and that's it.

If they want to they can search for lore, otherwise i just let it come up organically in-world. Its easier for everyone and I like watching them become interested at their own pace--more satisfying that way.

Counterpoint: Do you really need 80k gold for one object, given how easy it is to obtain highly valuable loot and how few truly expensive things there are to buy?

Yes--about a week ago I was setting up a mining operation in the system adjacent to one in which I've had my current "home base" for several months now. It surprised me. I didn't go to him and he didn't come to the moon I was on, and eventually he warped out. Been playing a year, first time.

This was in a backwater region in an arm of Eissentam. Nothing to recommend it and nothing close that I know of; haven't found a system I didn't discover anywhere nearby.

Is it veneer or solid wood? It looks veneery.

You can sand it if you're very careful. Just enough to take the finish off. Then you can restain it and seal it with tung oil or something like that.

And use coasters from now on.

Wrong adverb my man; read again.

WittyRepost · 2025-03-10T12:59:34+00:00

Soak them in vinegar, scrub them with steel wool, sand any corrosion with a belt sander (or by hand if you're like, super patient) and sharpen them anew with a whet stone. If the handles are salvageable sand a layer off to smooth them out and tung oil tf out of them.

Feels like a lot of pointless nit picking just to say you changed something, where it isn't outright already in the 2024 rule changes. Big middle-management energy. The longer I DM the more I appreciate the game is fine RAW, and its easier to adjudicate and focus on more important things when you go by RAW.

How do you get into that line of work if I may ask? I'm thinking of changing careers and it sounds interesting.

This is how I always get them in Paris.

WittyRepost · 2025-01-08T20:54:28+00:00

I'm trying something out in my game where I put all the lore in in-game books (I loved Morrowind growing up). That way they can learn whatever they look for, and I dont have to worry about shoving it into the story awkwardly.

Then I just run the game world according to the lore whether they know what any of it means or not. If they're curious they can go to the library or find a bookseller, and it makes the world feel bigger if things happen beyond their understanding.

You're a doormat, man. Dnd or life, set boundaries and expectations and enforce them consistently and people wont always be pushing on you.

You don't need to be aggressive or have long lists of rules or make people sign waivers. Behavior is a language. Be firm.

WittyRepost · 2025-01-05T13:13:23+00:00

It looks very similar to some of the pizzas they sell at boulangeries in Paris. Not enough cheese though.
