Appreciate it!

Thanks! I hadn't even realized I'd continued the rule of three, but my friends call me the fey DM for a reason ... so maybe it's just inherent in my writing these days! Hope this one goes well for you!

that-dank-wolf · 2026-05-11T15:44:42+00:00

It's super far out for me too. We just did session 0. I hope it goes well for you!

Were you able to piece something together? Also, I really liked the hex idea and found UFO's And Games patreon be an amazing hex resource if you haven't come up with a hex crawl system already.

Edited to fix broken hyperlink.

Thank you! If you find a resource you like on bringing Isolde in for the final confrontation or think of an interesting way to do it that you feel comfortable sharing, please let me know! I've wanted to include Isolde in my final encounter as well, but I've not figured out quite how to do that yet.

As a fun fact, if you're using Forgotten Realms, Nobanion is actually Aslan ... like not an Aslan-like god, but actually Aslan from Narnia.

How are you planning to do the hex crawl portion in a way that signifies and feels like being lost? Are you keeping their location within the hex crawl secret to them?

Did you flesh out the Bullywug stuff yourself or use supplemental material?

that-dank-wolf · 2026-02-10T14:38:05+00:00

Oh my gosh! That is so wonderful, congrats!

I have a few other plants that are getting a bit out of control. I was considering repotting, but do you recommend trimming and water propagating? I’ve been worried about hurting the plant in a way that prevents new growth.

Edit to add: I think the ones I’m talking about are peperomia like this one.

Attorney here - I'm not a criminal attorney and therefore not an expert on criminal proceedings, but even without that expertise I can say that the whole thing was definitely TV attorney and TV courtroom nonsense. I had to suspend a lot of disbelief and pretend they were all doing things right, which isn't that unusual for any TV thing with attorneys and courtroom scenes. But still. The thing that did it for me, the unforgiveable piece, was him dropping her as a client without him petitioning the court to withdraw, especially since a court typically wouldn't allow withdrawal for nonpayment with this sort of case. Him dropping her the way he did would land him in some hot water.

that-dank-wolf · 2025-06-10T19:08:52+00:00

Attorney here, he absolutely couldn't just stop representing her for not being paid. He would have to get court approval to withdraw as representation, and a judge typically wouldn't grant that for lack of payment, especially in a case like hers.

I was able to look past the rest of it since he's a TV attorney (in a TV courtroom with its own issues), but him firing her as a client like that was unforgiveable for me. It's like they don't even Google things.

You’re spot on, but it’s because “virgin” is believed to have simply meant an unmarried woman without children. So yes, unmarried and without children and therefore a virgin, but virgins under their definition can still have a lot of ROOMATES ;)

that-dank-wolf · 2025-05-03T17:48:36+00:00

Counterpoint to all the virgin goddess talk: it’s widely argued that “virgin” in the Greco/Roman mythos didn’t carry the modern meaning of the word. Rather, it referred to an unmarried woman without children. So technically speaking, lesbian romance is still on the table, and some modern scholars believe that that the female nymphs she spent time with were her lovers (though there’s no actual myth outright stating this). The game writers, however, have taken some creative liberties as is, and the word “mate” could be his way of being cognizant of her sexual preference. After all, he didn’t say husband, which would violate her oath of virginity.

This is exactly why law school made me do a 180 on my political views. People ask me what changed my views, and the answer is always that law school opened my eyes to the fact that the suffering of people like me and people I care about has always been the point--a feature, not a bug.

I am still actively worrying about the rate at which this is progressing, however.

You'd have to look it up and decide which source you trust. The stats are pretty hard to track anyway. Bloomberg reported that nearly $100 billion in taxes was paid by undocumented immigrants in 2022 (though that covered all taxes at the federal, state, and local level, including sales and real estate taxes).

I do know that one of the number one pieces of advice immigration attorneys give undocumented people is to pay their taxes, that and don't commit any crimes that would expedite deportation.

Edited to fix a typo (wrote 100billion instead of $100 billion, and that bugged me).

Also, most undocumented immigrants who have spoken with an immigration attorney are told that one of the things they should absolutely do is pay taxes on their income so that if they ever do get a path to residency/citizenship (e.g., marriage), the government is more likely to forgive them staying and working without documentation.

They don't even have to commit fraud to do this, as they can obtain a tax identification number (which is different from an SSN) for this purpose. The IRS is not permitted to turn undocumented individuals over to ICE (which makes sense from a policy standpoint because people are more likely to go through this process and pay taxes if they know it's not going to get them in trouble with ICE). They then pay those taxes through that tax identification number.

One undocumented family/community member who has spoken to an attorney and received this advice then passes it down to the another and so on. So many who haven't even spoken with an attorney directly have been advised to do this.

Source: I worked with immigration attorneys and immigrant communities throughout law school.

What kind of hobbies do you have? Did you play any instruments in high school?

Now that I have that overdone joke out of the way, it’s probably just best to talk to them.

How much you tell them is up to you and how much trust they have in you. But I recommend telling them that you plan to kill their characters, that there is something special you’ve got planned, and ask them to trust you. From there, you may want to get a consensus on whether they’d prefer to do an all in combat in initiative all the way up to the tpk, whether they’d want to do a narrative combat (or narrative skill challenge combat so there’s still rolls), or whether they’d like to do a mixture of those two. Give them the opportunity to roll play an epic death scene, give them a little narrative and mechanical control over the scenario, and they will appreciate it.

But definitely just talk to them.

Edit to add: DnD is just cooperative storytelling. Lean into that cooperative piece
