Lack of imagination. For if the DM is handing out magic items to you then he's doing the same elsewhere. I hand a fair few out but whether or not they're gonna be useful, and whether or not they'll survive the next encounter, is up to them. Things are still balanced, they've just got more gadgets.

A good storyteller knows that when you give Luke a lightsaber, you give Darth Vader a Death Star.

I started to type in 'Exactly' and then was about to type in your username. But I just started laughing my fucking ass off at 'Brave Little Hitachi Wand'

I'm aware of the effect I have on men.

Goddammit. No. Stop it. Stop being that fucking funny.

Oh weird. Thanks to you I've discovered that my client doesn't show display names, just usernames. I wonder if that's a setting somewhere.

I'm pretty sure there's one in the default lemmy. I think one in Alexandrite too. Not sure if you're using a web client or an app. But I'm glad to help be that catalyst for you <3 and I wasn't kidding either

I found "Prefer user display names" under Misc on Summit and I too now see the wand name beside the TOE profile picture. Thanks for the assist.

And it all started because you gave a mouse a cookie

I mean, might as well be nice. They're only worth 10 XP anyway.

Exactly. Same lich, different phylactery. Open book was always a subtly sinister signal for "you wish this was graded on a curve nerd enjoy the D at best lmfaooooo".
