Sylvan should be Old Spanish like the faun in Pans Labyrinth

Silvanus peed on it once.

Sounds like an Umber Hulk tbh

Got a Scroll of Prestidigitation as a joke item, but I saved it, and eventually found a use for it, allowing my character to avoid the use of a public bathhouse, which was great for him due to personal issues. The scroll became a running joke, everyone would always laugh about, "Oh, if we only had a Scroll of Prestidigitation!" whenever we fall into a sewer or something. So when he got his next cantrip, at level up, there was really only one choice

Did you also get the eyeless dice, so you can roll a whole handful even if you only need to roll like two?

That’s exactly what I needed, thanks. +1 sanity points. Edit: holy shit, knowyourmeme has more intel than the CIA.

Braham’s loud ass nervous laugh screaming Praise Joko will live in my head forever.

So, yes. I'm well aware of the limitation that the quality of the item cannot exceed the quality of the materials themselves. So in that case you wouldn't be able to make a normal set. But. I'd be hard pressed to not give it to them in some fashion. The plate but with an extra disadvantage. I like to reward creativity and I never see anyone use the fabricate spell.

You try to read the wall of text, but it's written in a handwriting you have a lot of trouble deciphering. You believe that it says that the pandemic caused people to stutter and that a bard was able to cure that stuttering by singing a spell of "Silence". And that the bard eats goblins all day.

I had a portable talking version of battleship (Battleship Command) as a kid and it has these little planes. If I remember correctly, I think they allowed you to "see" a little bit of the opponents board and you placed them on top of your own ships? Also the sound effects in that version were great, almost all done by human voice. The ship sinking sound was hilarious "glub glub glub" Edit: in fact, this picture definitely looks like it's from Battleship Command!

Ever since I switched from text to voice I feel like my characters lost some of their... Verbosity. But last night I bon-mot-ed a minotaur (as my ascended animal swash-bard unicorn) by saying "Oooh, a fellow hooved creature! ... Sorry about your appearance, fella." And rolled a crit. And it felt awesome. Playing Swashbard is awesome.

My kids are closer to 9th grade than I am.

Can you guess what is the basic flaw for me in AD&D, which eventually led me to walk away from it? How the game builds up expectations for the player. The average person just flips open a player's book, a monster manual or some other tome on the game lore and instantly the person thinks their character will be, from the start, like the model characters they're reading upon, which they never will or even can be, as the game does not permit it, in my understanding and experience. As a player, it was extremely frustrating to handle DMs that expected a newbie mage/ranger/fighter/whatever to take risks as if they were seasoned veterans and had high capabilities from the start. That is nonsense. No class in AD&D is (or was; I speak from years of distance) capable of great feats from the get go, as the way the characters are built forces a level 0/1 into basically discarding any capabilities a trained individual into a specific profession would already have. It would be better to just say the characters are slightly above average commoners. As a DM, I was quick to get fed up with players that wanted to pull stunts that would be barely feaseable to high level characters/professionals, regardless me going through the basics as I did above. People are idiots but the game was set up by morons and others just tried to build on top of it to improve it, with mixed results at best.

Conceal Spell Through sheer mental effort, you can simplify the incantations and gestures needed to spellcast, leaving them barely noticeable. If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, the spell gains the subtle trait, hiding the shining runes, sparks of magic, and other manifestations that would usually give away your spellcasting. The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air. Silent Spell (Metamagic) Benefit: A silent spell can be cast with no verbal components. Spells without verbal components are not affected. A silent spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level. Doesn't work for Bard spells, although they have a way to disguise theirs: Melodious Spell You subtly weave your spellcasting into a performance. If the next action you use is to Cast a Spell, the spell gains the subtle trait, hiding the shining runes, sparks of magic, and other manifestations that would usually give away your spellcasting. The trait hides only the spell’s spellcasting actions and manifestations, not its effects, so an observer might still see a ray streak out from you or see you vanish into thin air.

I'm querying my internal meme database and if I recall weren't these pictures of before and after Square announced FF VII port for the PS3. Not the remaster, just a playable port. And the pictures are reversed timeline, meaning they were very excited (bottom picture), but then quickly disappointed (top picture) after realized Square pulled a switcharoo? Could be wrong but going crazy with the thought now!

...for all grief folks give kara-tur, they made a respectable effort to represent the breadth of pacific asia folklore and culture; no less a patois of anachronistic legendarium than D+D did with western europe... https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Malatra
