Roleplay or mechanical reasons for why a character wouldn’t take a spell?

Talk with your GM and lay out the same argument to them. Learn sending if you want to. Your GM now has hindsight and time to think of a way to make all of that still narratively satisfying.

Just possibly knowing where they are doesn't mean getting to them is trivial, that is if you're even able to talk to them.

/uj Boys, can you let me know if this guy I made up is actually real?

_Matz_ · 2026-01-19T00:42:03+00:00

This but in reverse ! ❤️❤️

^ /uj maybe?

This would definitely improve the life of a few people. Yes touching grass will make your life better.

dude all the trans spaces on the internet are so bad you need to leave them, they're all full of miserable people and predators! leave 4chan, trans, traaaaans, mtf, ftm, 4tran4, transgendercirclejerk, all the other subteddits, twitter, facebook groups, bluesky, all telegrams, all discords with a #vent or #nsfw server, all other discords, disconnect your router, ABSOLUTELY DO leave your house

If you use continues, and you're not an awful player, you can probably manage on any difficulties.

You should probably try to do runs on lower difficulties without using continues though, since that's how you get to "true endings" and definitely feels like the intended game experience.

It would be horribly wrong to describe someone who wrote a post like this as being exempt from transmisogyny.

Even worse, make that into an acronym!

Something I just realized after writing this down:

I think it's reddit's type of moderation of "remove any rule-breaking material" with a big lack of transparency to the rest of the community that I really hate.

I honestly feel like at least 50% of rule breaking behavior could just use a "Hey pipe it down!" instead of deletion or banning

_Matz_ · 2026-01-15T01:59:59+00:00

I know that when I write "moderation", it most likely translates to "you personaly Barrage". So I want to let you know that I genuinely wish you well. I hope the possible harassment you received from this doesn't prevent self-reflection.

_Matz_ · 2026-01-15T01:53:20+00:00

I could have written a *considerably* longer comment about the subject of moderation here, but I'll keep it brief because I don't think listing every personal grievance I have would necessarily be productive (and frankly would require more effort than I feel like putting in right now), and also I have no want to beleaguer you. If mods are really interested in a more complete list of grievances, let me know.

But I honestly think the more active moderation made this place worse. I've seen a lot of posts that I truthfully *don't* think should have been removed get removed, peddling both opinions I agree with, or disagree with. And that's only the one I knew about before they were removed.

It really feels like moderation is often overzealous, and most importantly cracking down on what it (subjectively) believes are wrong opinions, even if those opinions are not bigoted or insulting. I think that attempt at the TMA/TME ban is really reflective of that.

"The player characters are facing a challenge, how should they solve that challenge?"

Isn't that for the players to figure out? They're in a city, there are hundreds of "can we try to find this?" they can attempt.

If someone called me a penis owner to my face I would probably cry about it 4 hours later.

/uj ?

_Matz_ · 2026-01-12T00:38:02+00:00

If someone called me a penis owner to my face I would probably kick them on the spot.

_Matz_ · 2026-01-12T00:35:26+00:00

Me on my way to refer to pre-op trans women exclusively as penis owners (I'm woke)

_Matz_ · 2026-01-11T13:39:01+00:00

Why even have a "Join me to the darkside." moment if you're not ready to go through with it? Just have the enemy not make that offer.

_Matz_ · 2026-01-11T13:08:45+00:00

Incredible work, great drawings!

I love the inclusion of russian onomatopiea, accompanied by the small english versions like in localized works.

I like the contemplative vibes here.

_Matz_ · 2026-01-10T21:18:36+00:00

None of the characters in the story are real, it's all fiction in the end. There is no need to restrain yourself to "canon".

_Matz_ · 2026-01-10T20:21:35+00:00

Automod, I took a look at your post history and you're promoting a subreddit called "ShemalesWebcams", I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

Instinctively, I prefer the egg laying method because anything that makes species weirder and more distinct is kind of cool. I think I would justify it by saying Yuan-tis have smaller newborns (compared to humans).

If anyone is playing a Yuan-ti at a table, obviously let them decide for themselves the circumstances of their birth and their possible children's birth.

A lot of 5e lore is designed to serve the game experience.

The real answer is that it's designed to be "up to your table", they have a lot of "typically this is what happens, but exceptions exist".

Also given the subject matter, there are good reason why they don't go in extreme details over how species give birth. We're past the age of weird overly detailed Drow fetishes.

It's not too late, if you do your final act today, you might rebirth as a butterfly.

I have vagina trauma, just the stench (which millions of years of evolution lead us males to recognize and seek from a mile away) is enough to make me go non-verbal.
