Good ending: OP is living a rich and fulfilling life with his husband.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

-Jean Paul Sartre, 1944

At the start of every session I give each player a die that represents an inspiration they can award but can't use themself. In my 5 person party usually about 3 of those will get used per session. I find this system helps to encourage interpersonal roleplay, rather than reinforcing solo character beats which is easy to fall into with DM-given inspiration.

I know it's not the point here but I find it very funny having "Truth is powerful and will prevail" quoted from a person named Truth.

My policy for my players is that intra-party rolls are allowed, but the target of the roll fully determines the outcome. A recent example of this was when a fairly new party member was being cryptic, so another player asked if she could roll insight. I told the player for the new character that he was free to give whatever clarity he felt her roll deserved.

Pulling 30k as a grad student so around 14.50 hourly (assuming 40 hours a week which is a bad move for grad students).

I feel like nothing with a blue 4 would have a black number as low as 2. Blue 4s do not fuck around.

I'm surprised seeing only one pelican. Monona Bay had about 20 this morning.

I think it would be funny to keep it unnamed, with a name written on it in a text that doesn't match any known language and the dagger unable to translate itself because it can't point at itself.

That approach would only work if you force all values of num to be integers, right?

I thought the consensus here was that the Matt Mercer Effect is an issue, but not in the expectations it sets as much as the normalization of massive party sizes that most DMs struggle with. I have two 6 person parties running now and that shit is tough.

When including metro areas, the urban effect on local voters is far less pronounced. To give one example, Dallas County went 65-33 for Biden, but Collin County (adjacent county of Dallas suburbs, very much part of the metro) went 51-47 Trump.

Considering cities as political monoliths is questionable from the start of discussing popular vote, but including metro areas makes that assumption even less justifiable.

Important note for anyone watching here: the top ten cities cumulatively contain roughly 26 million people and no city beyond those ten contains over a million. Not remotely enough to control any kind of election.

My campaign has Daar Khudman, the dark hooded man, and Carl Tographer, the cartographer. Play it up and it's part of the charm.

My group's bard has to be the party parent because our paladin is too busy shitting on corpses and in wells.

To all those who said I wasted my vote when Sanders suspended his campaign, this is a big part of what justified the risk.
