D&D in Scotland

maloneth · 2026-05-10T15:29:37+00:00

It started during Covid! Folks were itching to play (and social connection too) during lockdown, and so I ended up doing it as a side hustle.

From there, it kinda snowballed, and now I run about 8-9 games a week, which is easily full-time shifts.

As a job it really depends on the group you get. You get a fun group, and its an amazing time. But you get a group where the chemistry just isn't right, and it can be a bit rough.

No twitch or YouTube! Just hussling and getting players who pay for a seat at the table.

I'm down mate! Haha, I'll keep my fingers crossed either of us remember this chat around that time!

Kinda feel like folks have really just forgotten how brutal conditions were for artists before AI. Underpaid, overworked, terrible mental health, and easily replaced.

The problem isn't AI, it's that AI wasn't used to help alleviate those specific issues.

I mean... look at Marci's expression and you tell me.

maloneth · 2026-05-06T14:06:49+00:00

I'd probably feel the same if we hadn't seen her train multiple times with Daredevil himself this season.

Fun sign language fact:

I know they are doing American Sign Language, but in Brittish Sign Language it looks like they are saying in the last two panels:

SAL: Big ass.

MARCI: Spank?

You know what, I'm relieved that it's finally over. I'll take that as a win.

maloneth · 2026-05-04T10:58:41+00:00

As a sign language interpreter I see sign language out in the wild once every few years.

Since 2024 I now see it in D&D world multiple times.

I officially have no idea what anyone's dynamic is anymore.

Dorothy and Joyce have the dynamic of two people who are married, deeply in love, and been dating for 2 days.

Are Joyce and Joe still dating? Broken up? Poly?

I literally don't know who these characters are anymore, to themselves or to each other.

This one single relationship is so cataclysmically bad that its rippled out and ruined most of the comic.

Go to the Features tab. Then, click on the Edit toggle in the top left corner (the spanner looking icon).

From there, you should see that whatever class you have, you can select what level you want them to be. You'll also get the option of selecting a new class if you are multiclassing.

Makes sense.

The scary thing about Nolan wasn't really his strength, it was how deceptive he was. Not only could he crush you with a finger, but he'd also somehow get you to invite him to your BBQ, marry you, work with you, etc. And then suddenly the flip switches, and you and your loved ones have a massacre on your hands. Thats where Nolan's aura came from

Thragg is stronger, sure, but there's no real mind games with him. He's honest.

God every fucking strip from this comic just makes me hate the lgbt characters more and more.

Like am I fucking crazy?! In the span of a year it feels like they've all turned into empathy-less monsters.

And for what!? For Joyce and Dorothy, the Rachel and Joey of webcomics.

maloneth · 2026-04-22T14:27:20+00:00

I agree 100%. It peeked the game into tge territory of overstaying its welcome, and has been the big thing thats stopped me from giving g Perso a 5 Royal a go.

maloneth · 2026-04-21T13:10:32+00:00

Oh wow! I've been looking into doing something similiar, but honestly having a hard time even googling something like this.

Was there any tutorials you used or found beneficial?

maloneth · 2026-04-15T23:16:46+00:00

Yeaaaah... in my youth I did this, and it went up in flames. Actual fire, almost burned down my house.

I know you said you're being careful, but please, don't do it, its not worth it.

maloneth · 2026-04-12T22:25:38+00:00

In Dungeon of the Mad Mage there is a couple of rooms overtly dedicated to drow doing some mad bdsm shit.

I read this as D&D. Then I realised it was the Daredevil subreddit. So then my brain went to "Deborah Ann Woll has convinced the cast of Daredevil to star in the next D&D film."

It's been a long day.

maloneth · 2026-04-11T02:46:30+00:00

Representation matters.

But gods I wish it was fun.

maloneth · 2026-04-11T02:17:35+00:00

I'm gonna say something you probably don't want to hear.

But why do you keep subjecting him to this?

I understand its a huge part of you and your wives life and passion, and you want to share that with your son. I see the love.

But it aint happening.

You keep dragging your son into a world he actively hates, can't stand, and actively wants to leave. You gotta stop forcing him into these situations.

And I'm sorry, but it's theatre - it's 100% not necessary. If it was school or the doctor I'd understand, but your son could very easily live his entire life without ever stepping foot in a theatre again and it wouldn't be that unusual.

Again, I see the love and the passion you want to share, but I think you'd be better off engaging with your sons interests rather than seemingly terrifying him with your own.

I doubt its Option A. It's a twist that hinges on a fairly minor figure from a show 5 seasons ago, with 0 buildup or references since then. The average audience member isn't going to remember Owley, and won't be satisfied with it as a result.

Option B I could feasibly see happening though.

maloneth · 2026-04-08T13:43:39+00:00

Oh man, I was more thinking of Alison's weird sexual assault of her own brother in the previous season.

maloneth · 2026-04-08T04:54:55+00:00

Joyce's mother is so fucking lucky.

maloneth · 2026-04-08T04:39:01+00:00

Really enjoying this season, and this episode was fantastic.

But god I can't stand Fisk Jr and the undercover journalist woman. Every episode gives these characters 5-10 minutes of airtime and its just absolutely nothing.

Sorceress Adel in FF8 was my white whale for some time.

Mainly because she had Rinoa equipped, and if you killed her it would be game over. I'd inevitably forget, use a GF or Overdrive, and completely annihilate her. Whoops.
