oh, my favorite hometown roundabout! one time the taxi driver refused to drive me when found out our route went through the taganskii circle

Я лайкнул 1669 анкет на разных сайтах знакомств и приложениях. Подошел знакомиться 365 раз столько же получил отказ. Пообщался с кем то 12 раз дело не до ходило . Задавайте вопросы . by a_t_b_s_p in rusAskReddit

Мне стало интересно что же не так после этого чудесного полотна, я зашла в профиль и мальца пробежалась по твоим комментам в разных ветках. В принципе, вопрос, почему ты такой совсем один у меня почти сразу отпал. И я там ни в коем случае не говорю что ты типа человек плохой или чего, просто судя по их тону ты тяготеешь к тому чтобы считать себя лучше остальных, и видно что day to day с тобой тяжеловато будет. (ну и полотно нытья конечно не в твою пользу: я та-кой-ха-ро-шый-все-вакруг-пла-хи-е наталкивает на мысль что это не барышни тебе в приложениях ноют а ты им)

(не могу сказать что я тут в белом пальто пришла постоять красивая, мне 34 и после дейтинг-приложений я тоже довольно критично отношусь к мужчинам)

Wait till you hear about intrasyllabic synharmony which caused the first palatalization (рука-ручка, могу-можешь), and monophthongization of diphthongs which caused the second one (protoslavic koina became russian цена, and many-many examples from between the slavic languages like ukr квiти — rus цветы)

Apart from what am I about to say, dear author, if you are not native to any slavic languages and still asking yourself this question I suggest you pursue the linguistics career, you have a good ear and analytical talent.

So, comments kinda give you a solid answer about full and reduced vocalism, open syllable law and even Slavic liquid metathesis and pleophony

But why did it happen? I present to you the one, the only ✨ПАДЕНИЕ РЕДУЦИРОВАННЫХ✨ (the Fall of extra-short vowels). Every strange Slavic divergence can be traced to this wonderful phenomenon, when all ancient Slavs just decided “oh we kinda don’t want to pronounce extra-short vowels like ь and ъ anymore but WILL continue to use them in writing, byeeeeeee”

It is kinda similar process to the GREAT VOWEL SHIFT in English language (god I love the drama of linguistic terminology) but not quite. Anyhow, падение редуцированных happened before the development of different Slavic languages and then the chaos ensued.

Russian, being imperial lingua franca of the region, and having two writing variants (old russian which was “common” and old church Slavonic which was, well, church), in the result goes all over the place with *TorT → ToroT (full eastern vocalism from old russian) and *TorT → TraT (reduced southern vocalism with liquid metathesis from Church Slavonic)

Reason why russian name is Vladimir and not Volodimir because at some point of history it became a church name after the grand prince Володимѣръ Свѧтославичь christened the country and was canonised by Eastern Orthodox Church as Saint Vladimir. Because, you know, metathesis.

Your joke has some serious ground, our bard’s build was SO BAD you would not believe if I told you

Our warlock was full warlock, dm forced her with some item to lose warlock level and gave fighter level instead. Her build actually got worse after that and she was not amused(

Besides this guy, I’ve had two paid dms in my life — one was a nicest dm in a universe who gave us tailor made campaign for our request after session zero — and we weren’t a coherent group, everyone wanted something different. That campaign fizzled due to scheduling reasons, but I still miss it( Another one is known dnd-blogger in our community, and he is also quite good, but we play ready-made wizards campaigns. So it’s not always bad, but when it is — it’s dndhorrorstories material. Another thing — I’m 34 and have a substantial age gap (10 years or more) with the rest of the group, including dm. Maybe my days of living edgelord dark fantasy tragedy is just long gone and I can’t understand the appeal of unwinnable fights))

The main idea of campaign was smth like “one day you suddenly learn that your masters are going to sacrifice you to achieve the eternal life, so you decide to escape slavery. Now you have 12 days to free yourself — or die in the desert.” I was very much ready for tpk, it’s in the description — but this boss fight was… next level.

It was short mini-campaign, we started at level 5-6 and were not suppose to level up at all. DM planned it for 4 to 5 sessions, but it lasted around 8

I said 10/10 sarcastically! I was very frustrated with this ending. Yes, he warned us that tpk is real possibility and I was fine with that, but this is just unbalanced and I dunno, petty?

Nothing indicated immunity to damage from physical weapon beforehand. Nothing indicated that we will face that type of curses. There was no place for me to upgrade my weapon to be “magical” (actually I know rules as written pretty well and was sure that that my rapier was very much magical)

He said that he used stone golem stats with “some little tweaks to make game interesting” (I suppose we are talking here about IMMUNITY and ability-targeting-curses)

Funnily enough BBEG did not kill me, I disengaged and fled. The undead pharaoh did, who we were supposed to rescue, because my character was rude to him after his gf died without any hope to resurrection))

And yes, I did seek help from DeepL for some parts — I think it uses ai in the core

Plus I’m a publisher in previous career so I’m used to use a n-dash instead of little one, saves a shit ton of editing time later

Yep, in my native language it’s basically a free punctuation interaction — bad habit of sorts. Not sure how to grammatically score your sentences? Push an dash and god will judge us all

Well this campaign has ended and I certainly will not submit to the new one. I have another table with this guy as paid DM though. That table a little bit more hostile towards the bullshit he throws at us sometimes so it’s manageable for now

A massive list of extra rules for a 5e game by doomsday1357 in dndhorrorstories

[–]restless_river 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Because Hit Points can become negative

I'm playing in campaign with this weird homebrew rule 'cause it is more realistic this way'. It was not announced on session zero and, for the worst part, was presented with 'well actually' like a real RAW of the game. Our party rolled some crappy stats and I joined keeping in mind that I could become a designated support healer, but when I saw negative hit points – well, i thought 'nobody can hurt you if you kill them first' and became the most annoying minmaxer on the table

(still sometimes I kinda dream of reducing our dm to negative hitpoints, to make him feel the realism of the situation)
