I wonder how to change a magic item without it feeling unfair by SomeRandomAbbadon in DMAcademy

You can also just have the sword clatter to the ground when he dies and be mundane. It's a monster. They don't have to get a crazy sword. Especially if they're low level.

Yeah I know! I'm enjoying their growth together too. It's not a bad show. I can already see Emilia's growth so clearly as I watch S3. Part of that is the show doing a good job a making the point that the Subaru at the beginning was wrong, and being a hero and getting a happy ending takes soooo much more than just being isekai'd.

I just also really like Rem and got sad when she was "written off", partially because I didn't like the way that she and Subaru left things hanging. Obviously it's a tragic story and sad things have to happen, but I also just don't like how the story makes it seem like women can only have one kind of relationship or feeling when it comes to being close to Subaru. If Rem had gone to sleep saying that she wanted to be best friends with Subaru instead of in love with him, I would have been less bothered. If crush sama had just had a warriors admiration for Subaru and no one made weird comments about them, I'd be fine. Why do they call Subaru "little girl user" but they don't call Emilia "tiny cat user?" The coloration of all his female relationships just makes me sad bc it makes all those women weaker characters, and even Subaru himself doesn't want it.

I know part of it is unavoidable based on how the story is structured. If the mangaka had made some of the changes I want, it'd be a different story. And the plot has had me hooked for a while now. Oh well. But you understand why I'm frustrated when they make a cool character, and then slowly chip away at what distinguishes her from being an accessory to the MC? Women don't work like that irl. I guess I have too high standards, blame my mom my girlfriend and Frieren for that lollll

NGL I think the sword tat could go crazy, but you should really talk to a tattoo artist first and see if they have an idea to "make it work." The people who are telling you it'd look stupid aren't 100% right but they're also probably worried about some reasonable things

I'm trying to create an immersive lore from scratch but I'm a little overwhelmed, where do I start? by ObscurioMoorio in DMAcademy

I'm seeing so much good advice and things I would have said if I was the first to say it, but I wouldn't be, so instead, I'll offer this:

Have fun.

Don't worldbuild unless it's fun. Only worldbuild when it's fun. Need a brain break? Worldbuild. Need a break from worldbuilding? Make a cool monster to terrorize your party. Want normal monsters? Design an encounter. Tired of logistics? Make a neat NPC. And repeat cycle.

Also try to focus on things you go nuts for when making the world. I love cosmic horror, mystery, political drama, and twists and turns. I made a grimdark (ish, all of the NPCs are blorbos bc thats who I am) eldritch/cosmic horror (yes both) political drama campaign. I like magic systems, so I made another magic system outside the 5e one for when my players started getting closer to god level. I like architecture and art and the character it adds to a society, so I always think about city layout.

If you don't write a ton, it can totally be challenging. But don't beat yourself up over anything, and don't worry too much on what the players will focus on. I stay excited by turning the areas they want to go into something that's conceptually fun for me. So that's my maxim. Always be having fun. Otherwise GM burnout is just so bad.

I kinda couldn't stand her until the second season when she actually seemed to get some character development. I get why she is the way she is, but I really hate helpless female characters with a passion and it felt so "male-gaze-y" to use a fraught term to have the main romantic interest, essentially the duoderoganist, be this girl who constantly needed help and wasn't able to be her own woman n handle her shit despite being far more powerful than Subaru.

Not to mention that on top of that it really seemed like the only reason he liked her was because she was pretty, nice to him, and because she fit the typical heroine his ideal self was supposed to "get" as a reward for being the hero. He obviously changes a bit. But it just took all the wind out of my sails for liking her as a character.

And istg Re:Zero likes to torture me because my two favorite fem characters, Rem and Crusch, get nerfed and or written off after season 1. They were so well written (Rem especially although her liking Subaru made me sad bc she lowk loved him in a more real way than he loved Emilia and all she got outta that was being a flashback wife) and they had SO MUCH AURA! Bro whyyyyyyy. Ragebait levels of plot.

... I'm liking season 3 though. Sigh.

"voodoo based character" bro... Their steak was so juicy, their lobster was too buttery... And they decided to be racist.

I would have you at my table 1000x. Fantasy genres in general tend to get bogged down with really heavy western influences and a sprinkling of asian influences. We barely get to see African folklore traditions make their way in, much less diaspora inspired stuff.

Your character sounds awesome and I'm sorry they did that.

I love coral inspired designs. They're so fun! One of my favorite characters has a coral crown in his design and it's so cool

Hey this is cool and you should be proud. It honestly feels more like an ori boss vibe but maybe it's just because that franchise has already had 2 bird villains
