  • At one of my LARPs, we use German for Dwarvish. Given that somehow, Dwarves are a niche race, German language proficiency doesn’t come into play with a frequency that would, say, make accents relevant. However, in discussions with someone who is quite linguistically and culturally in tune with German speakers, we now can’t agree on whether we’d have the accent be Swiss, Austrian, Bavarian or Ruhr German




  • This. I have opinions on waste management, please indulge a little rant, if you will?

    In my city they also now have us pay for the privilege of dumping residual waste. It’s worth noting that residual residential waste is stuffed into a silo - the users bring it to a collection point, and open it with an RFID key card. You’re sent a bill for each time this is opened.

    It’s also worth noting that the plastic bin, if it looks like they can’t sort it, they will toss it in general waste.

    These factors combine into a situation where:

    • Tossing things in the recycling bin has it end up in gen waste anyway
    • It’s cheaper for the end user to dump their residual waste inappropriately, either by stuffing it into recycling despite not going there, or by dumping it in the bushes somewhere

    Imo, fixes would include the following:

    • At the very least, using the general waste silo should not come with extra costs
    • Recyclables and residual waste should be merged into a single waste flow, which is to be recycled in general.
    • We should make work of actual plastic recycling at a commercial scale.



  • Tbf, a 32 would hit almost anything. We literally had this at one of my tables the other day.

    DM: does a 32 hit?

    ME, THE FIGHTER: WHAT‽‽ That’s about twice what you need to hit! How high is its attack modifier‽

    DM: And it wasn’t even a crit. I only rolled a 19.

    To be fair though, I was bluntly tanking a bloody Roc, if that was what was gonna kill me, I’d be like “yeah, that tracks.”




  • I’m part of a Western Reaches campaign where I’ve got an entire party worth of characters to pick from. In here are two with the Fey Touched feat, giving them the spell Misty Step, this being a warlock and a paladin. While the former would use that to get out of hairy situations, the latter would use it to get into them.

    So basically I also have an option for a sudden, in-your-face paladin.
