@Jezebelley
Why would I do that? I can't leave comments on Lemmy posts and Peertube videos from there!

I think people just are fed up with Twitter and are looking for the most twitter-like thing they can find. Mastodon is, frankly, nothing like Twitter. The vibes are too different.

Oh let me tell you about the D&D campaign I'm in. The first six months were nuts: We got hired to pick one of the emperor's 60-something kids to be appointed as the heir. By the time we left, there were four kids left alive.

Last session was a bit nuts. We got an angel fired from his job because he was bullying a snail, then had to resolve a custody battle between a coven of witches. We are level 4.

That sounds fucking awesome

I watched a good chunk of it when it was first coming out, but I had to drop it because i was frankly not in a good enough place to hear the things that show was trying to say.

@grasshopper_mouse

  1. I already know pokemon. I'm making an active effort to not be into pokemon anymore.

  2. As a kid i wasnt allowed to watch tv or play videogames, so I've been trying to catch up on the childhoods everyone else had.

  3. Trying to get out of MTG, not interested in the Pokemon TCG or the One Piece TCG because their mechanics aren't interesting to me, and there is no amount of money you could pay me to deal with the average Yu-Gi-Oh player. The Digimon TCG seems cool, though.

@Sanctus

Fuck i forgot about Gurren Lagan. What am I doing with my life

 

Been thinking of watching the old Digimon anime. Is this a good idea? Am I about to go into debt for a new TCG?

@asklemmy

 

Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?

Does that really count as cheese, though?

@edgemaster72
I like playing evil dickasses. Thankfully all of Eberron is morally grey at best. House Jorasco, for example, happens to be "what if the U.S. Healthcare System, in addition to being extortionate and evil, was also part of the executive branch?"

To be fair, the god I picked would probably disapprove of me being extortionate. But it's not like there aren't priests living absurdly wealthy lives that Jesus sure wouldn't approve of. #joelosteen

@dnd
Didnt have space to clarify details about my character. In Eberron, being a priest just means you went to seminary, so it's totally reasonable for him to claim to be a wizard priest. Since he has the Mark of Healing, I'm going to rp him as the embodiment of the American Healthcare system, charging money for healing. Figured Pact of the Archfey would be most useful in huckstering.

@kryptonianCodeMonkey @pteryx
It does make sense for covens to count as one patron. Seems in the spirit of hags to behave like that.

[–] Shkshkshk@dice.camp 2 points 4 months ago

@pteryx @dnd
Thats a good idea. Since they rule Droaam, that opens the door for political intrigue. They may be seeking more power on the global stage. I might be looking at politics in my future so I can make them something more than Fantasy Belgium.

 

Good Archfey patron for a warlock?

@dnd

I have made a Jorasco halfling warlock who is a priest of Kor Korron, which I will be playing in an #eberron campaign. (Specifically, he is a priest of Kor Korron, pretends to be a wizard among his peers, but likes to pass himself off as a cleric in public.) I am not very familiar with Thelanis, but I understand there is a fae court there. Do any of you have ideas for which archfey I should suggest to my #DM?

Are there FOSS alternatives to Roll20?

@dnd

I did a little googling and spotted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, but I haven't been able to explore many alternatives yet. Which ones are good?

#DnD DMs of the #Fediverse: Have you ever made a PC race illegal?

@dnd

I am feeling inspired by #mcdm_productions worldbuilding where all Dragonborn have a bounty on their heads, which was set by the current king. I would like to do something similar in mine with Orcs, but I'm not sure how to handle that lore-wise.

 

Why are all the #peertube instances #defederated from each other?

@nostupidquestions

Has there been drama over there? Is there a functional reason?

Also if you know any good channels, @ them below

New research shows that the insects flying around the streetlights are in fact in a living hell that we made for bugs.

@science

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-44785-3

Essentially, their tiny bug brains think the light is the sunset, so they keep turning to keep the "sun" at the same angle so they can go "straight." No matter how far they fly, they don't make any progress. They are trapped in this little hell we made just for them, not understanding why they can't get to where they are going.

What makes elves fun to play?

@dnd

Something I've been puzzling over with my #homebrewdnd stuff is about the classic #dnd elf. I don't really know what makes the Elves a compelling race to play. I'm thinking of changing them quite significantly for my campaign, but how far can I change them until they no longer hit the same buttons?

What dnd races are required?

@dnd

I'm making a new #homebrew #dnd setting. The mistake I felt I made last time was trying to devise an orgin from whole cloth for each playable race, which wasted a TON of time and energy while also confusing my players. So, herein I wish to ask: What playable races would you miss, if you joined my table and noticed their absence?

Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, goblinoids, and elves will all stay, but I am not sure about all the others.

 

Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

The Riddle of Steel

@dnd

I have an idea for a get-rich-quick scheme: using the Bessemer process to create massive amounts of high-quality steel. However, I'm sure my #DM has not given a single thought to this (because I know her) so I'm worried that this might give God fun #worldbuilding ideas to fuck with our party. How do I tell my group my plan, without having the industrialized slave company I know is on the other side of the map spontaneously develop a similar process?
