"I'm going to play Dark Urge, I'm going to play a Drow, I'm going to play a Half Elf Cleric of Selune-" No. I grow tired of filling Faerun with hotties and encouraging my party's fatherless behavior.

To remedy this I have made Your Dad, the ultimate 1:1 replica of the average New Jersey father to save the realm and put a stop to my party's sad, horny business.

And before you can even ask "oh what is the Guardian Your Mom or something" of fucking course she is you fool

YES! Some people may complain because it would suck to have your companions kill each other because they hate each other that much. But I say it's like playign a fromsoft game and being mad because a guy tougher than the boss you just fought just rocked your shit.

Every contemporary video game RPG wants to give me a party of emotionally dysfunctional weirdos and then bends over backwards to ensure that none of my interpersonal decisions cause any intractable conflicts or have any lasting consequences, which just feels wrong to me – like the latter is actively undermining the former. I want to see an RPG that goes full early 90s dating sim. I want an RPG where organising my party composition is like that logic puzzle about getting a fox and a duck across a river.

DnD Fanfic: A Meeting at Midday Part: 1

It was a hot day in early fall in the outskirts of the city of Phlan. A mid sized town on the coast of the Moonsea. It was a city that attracted adventurers. And there was plenty of opportunity for adventurers to ply their trade.

But outside of the city were people that were a far cry from the adventurers that came and went. The lands surrounding the city were filled with farmers, working the land to try to support themselves and provide food for the city. On one of these lands, were a specific family. Their parents had been adventurers and invested most of their earnings for a plot of land and an easy retirement.

A daughter of those adventurers, Aviss was pulling a pair of wheelbarrows filled with this season��s crops of carrots. She was of average height, but developed muscles from a lifetime of hard work. She pulled a carrot out of the ground, hoping that it would be unlike the rest of the crops in the harvest so far.

She sighed in frustration when the carrot was green and brown with mold and rot. Even as she lifted the carrot out of the ground, a portion crumbled back into the dirt. She tossed it into a wheelbarrow with a disturbingly large amount of similarly rotted carrots.

She finished her section of field, and she looked at the wheelbarrows. Only a few carrots were edible, and even those might have rot on the inside. With the summer sun beating against her head and the humidity was so strong that the air was almost liquid, she wondered if she should even bother.

"Maybe you should take a break? Don't think its gonna make a difference" She hears a voice says. She looks to see her brother, pushing his own wheelbarrow. Louis, was one of her younger brothers and the only one she still talks to. He was slightly shorter, though similarly built. His wheelbarrow was just as full of rotted crops as her’s.

"Just need a second to catch my breath." Aviss told him. She wiped the sweat from her brow. "How bad was your part of the field?" She asked, hoping that he had another barrow of usable crops somewhere else.

Louis shook his head. "The Crop Rust hit us bad. I wouldn't feed this to a goat." Louis said.

"Shit..." Aviss muttered. "You think that Darcia had any more luck?"

Louis looked to another part of the field. A few hundred feet away was their youngest sibling, collecting crops from their tainted field. The wheelbarrow meant to carry edible crops had long since abandoned. "Probably not" Louis says.

"So... what are we gonna do?" Aviss asks. “Our savings aren’t gonna last us long”

The two siblings sat in silence for a moment going over their options. Most shops didn’t have any openings, or required skills they just didn’t have. They could try to sign on with a ship’s crew, but they wouldn’t be paid until they got back, and that could be weeks or months. But there was always one place where one could make some quick coin.

“Well… whenever mom and dad needed money, she’d take jobs at a tavern or something. Maybe there’s something I could go over there and see if there’s something that pays well.” Louis says.

Aviss put a hand on Louis’s shoulder “Louis. I love you. But you haven’t fought anything tougher than a straw dummy.” Her tone was flat and calm, nothing betraying the worry she was feeling.

He rolls his eyes. "I'm serious, Aviss! Just remember when we were kids. Mom and Dad would tell us about all the adventurers they went on? About all the gold they got? A few good jobs, and it'll tide us over a few months until the next harvest!"

"If it was so easy, then everyone would do it" Aviss says. "Mom and Dad got lucky. There's a reason most adventurers end up dead"

"Look, I'll be careful, I'll make sure to get some easy jobs. Get a little gold. It'll be fine."

Aviss looked at her brother, then sighed.

"Kelvis said that there’s a tea house in town. People sometimes look for adventurers there. And since tea’s milder than booze, maybe the jobs there will be easier” Louis reasoned.

"Kelvis is full of it" Aviss says. "But I guess we're running low on options..." She leans back against her wheelbarrow. "I'm going to see if Darcia needs help, but if you’re going to do something stupid, then I’m coming with you. Gotta make sure you don’t get into trouble"

Louis’s face scrunched up. “You don’t need to baby me. I can handle myself.” He says, "But if you’re really gonna help… thanks." Louis says, a small smile appearing on his face. “I was… kinda nervous about doing my first job alone…”

Aviss gently punches her brother on the shoulder. “Just pay attention to the job you take. We can’t go around saying we’re gonna kill dragons”

“When have I ever done something stupid?” Louis says. “…Don’t answer that. I’m gonna get some gear and I’ll be right back”

Some interesting mechanics for putting The Princess from Slay The Princess in DnD. When your party finds the Princess...

if they decide to trust her, an enemy appears. If they go to protect her, she’s helpless, if they ask if she can fight she’ll direct them to a hidden chest with random weapons, armor, cloths, etc.. and she’ll say just bring me something. What they give her determines her class. If they pick at random, roll for it.

if they outright say they don’t trust her but will talk to her, increase her health, strength, dex, etc.. every few seconds, like in the game, the more they hesitate, the stronger she gets.

any perception/detect magic spell will determine her levels. If the roll perception to see if she’s dangerous , a Nat 1 means she’s helpless, a Nat 20 means she’s a major threat.

if they kill her, anything they do to confirm their kill, will result in her reviving with half health. Even if they try burning the corpse she’ll spring back up and fight them while on fire.

Just had a dream that about Korra from The Legend of Korra

She was sending three children through a spiritual portal. Through it, there was a spirit that would take their memories.

The first kid, she says "I know if I asked, you'd say no" and yeeted the kid through the portal.

The second kid, she asked. The kid hesitated and Korra shoved her through the portal.

The third kid, she convinced by by stressing its importance and saying that she'd pay him when he came back out. She even put a bag of coins on the ground in front of him. Only to pick it back up when the kid ran past.

I'll note that it was actually a pretty good shot. It was shot from the side at knee level with Korra bending down to put down the coins. The bottom of her face was visible. When the kid ran past her, her face turned into a smirk as the kid ran past.

When she stood up, another person (Don't think it was a canon character, it was a Water Tribe woman with spiky hair) glared at Korra. And Korra just gave the other person a shit-eating grin. "What, I hungar and thirst, just like anyone else"

REMEMBER SKIP-IT FROM THE 90’S

AITA for refusing to return a Tauros after the other trainer stole my Scizor?

Hey Tumblr, I'm seeking some judgment on a Pokémon trade gone awry. So here's the situation: I (25F) recently made a trade with another trainer (28M). I traded my Scyther, named Brush, for a Tauros with the intention of evolving Scyther into a Scizor and then trading the Tauros back to retrieve my Scizor. However, things took an unexpected turn when the other trainer not only refused to honor the trade but also stole my Scizor and abandoned the Tauros.Naturally, I was devastated by this double betrayal. However, luck was on my side as my Scizor somehow managed to escape from the other trainer and found its way back to me. I was overjoyed to be reunited with my Pokémon after such a terrible ordeal.But now comes the dilemma. The other trainer found out that I have my Scizor back and is demanding the return of their Tauros. They argue that since I got my Scizor back, it's only fair for me to return the Tauros. However, I strongly believe that I am not in the wrong for refusing to give it back.Here are my reasons for not returning the Tauros:

The other trainer stole my Scizor: Not only did they break our initial agreement by refusing to trade back the Tauros, but they also went a step further and stole my Scizor. This was a blatant act of dishonesty and showed a lack of respect for our agreement.

The other trainer abandoned the Tauros: Instead of honoring our trade and keeping the Tauros as agreed, the other trainer chose to abandon it. By doing so, they demonstrated that they had no interest in keeping Tauros in the first place. It doesn't seem fair for me to be responsible for returning something they discarded.

I went through a great deal of effort to retrieve my Scizor: It wasn't an easy task to track down and retrieve my stolen Pokémon. I invested a significant amount of time and energy to rectify the wrong that the other trainer had done. Returning the Tauros without consequences would feel like rewarding their dishonest behavior.

Some might argue that it's important to take the moral high ground and return the Tauros regardless. Some would argue that I should call the police and have them deal with it. While I understand that perspective, I also believe that I shouldn't have to give up something I rightfully obtained, especially after enduring the other trainer's deceitful actions. Besides, I don't want to send that Tauros back to a trainer who abandoned them. Besides, Longhorn, they're starting to grow on me, and they seem to likeme as a trainer better. And I'm afraid that if I call the police about the Scizor theft, they'll take the Tauros away.So, Tumblr, I come to you for your judgment. AITA for refusing to return the Tauros in this situation?
