In this universe he is nearly 60 and his opponent was in his 20s. Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't fight Tyson because I'm 40 and in, at best, mediocre shape but we can acknowledge that he is well past his prime.
I don’t know how anyone will be surprised when the price of literally everything starts skyrocketing again next year.
The average person is incredibly dumb.
Absolutely. The way things are looking, we're going to need all the friends we can get.
Chef's and butchers too. We know know how to take a body apart and clean up blood.
Everyone looking for "the" answer needs to realize it was a ton of stuff. Lack of a primary, failing to separate from Biden, campaigning with Republicans, failure to take a hard stance on genocide, ignorant/ill-informed voters, propaganga, misogyny, and racism are only some of the reasons.
This is good but it isn't quite the same thing. I want my phone to auto restart if I haven't unlocked in for 12 hours.
Thank goodness we didn't elect Bill Clinton this year. That would have been a disaster.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not actually worried about whether or not he makes it to the sun.
You can say it but it won't mean anything. Also "is absolutely mute" should be "are absolutely moot" and the semicolon is used incorrecty.
It's so dangerous that 100% of people who never come in contact with it also die.
I could really use an adult latte right about now.
Just curious, where are you going? My wife doesn't want to move further from her family or we would be in New Zealand already.
The gun store closes before I get home from work. That's why I'm going tomorrow.
Don't you ever get tired of finding coins, gemstones, generic art items, and magical items? OK, maybe not magical items...
As a long time DM, I certainly got tired of handing that stuff out. That's why I decided to make a conscious effort to embrace setting-appropriate realism when placing loot and creating random tables in my current campaign.
For example, the party journeyed through an ancient elven city that had once existed within massive, living trees that were now blighted and petrified. Each tree/building was well over 1000 feet tall and were more likely to be inhabited by monsters at higher levels While exploring the city, they passed through a variety of districts that were themed and named. Loot was then determined using tables based on district type and altitude.
The first tree they went through went like this:
-
Lower levels - residential district - loot found: sweet smelling soaps with dried leaves and spices preserved inside, a badly water-damaged book of fairy tales, some coins and basic gear found on the corpse of a dead adventurer
-
Middle levels - temple district - loot found: scented oils, decorative holy symbols, material components for cleric spells, ancient vestments, incense and a lavish burner
-
Upper levels - market district - loot found: a rare magical item, ancient promissory notes from a bank, a very complex lock with 2 keys, ancient cookware and pottery
The journey both to and through the ancient city was... harrowing. I'm running an eldritch horror campaign and this was point in the story when the horror started really ramping up.
That's why, after exiting the forest, our barbarian, Arthur, felt the need to blow off some steam by pranking our fighter, Clive. While keeping watch, Arthur dug out an ancient clay pot and filled it with warm water. Then Arthur totally biffed a stealth roll and woke Clive up while putting his hand in it.
When asked what he was doing, Arthur stammered for a moment before saying, "You found those soaps and scented oils in [the city], I thought I'd surprise you with a nice manicure."
This started a runner between those two that lasted for months and got the ball rolling on some character growth for Clive who was learning that he REALLY likes the finer things in life.
How has creative non-magical loot influenced your campaigns/characters?
tl;dr: The barbarian gives the fighter a manicure.
