Not nearly as much as my wife, admittedly - she’s a scientist and I’m not. But there’s been a few small things.

And everything is orange for him, and himself, and everybody around, 'cause he ain’t got nobody to listen to, to listen to, to listen to… Now that’s gonna be stuck in my head

I use horse-battery-staple passwords for core stuff (unlocking my computer, bank stuff). I use the password manager-generated passwords for everything that’s in a browser.

Talking is (not) a free action sounds like it could be a fun mechanic if everyone agrees to it. Let the big bad talk, but players get to write down an attempted action and roll for successful sneak for as long as he’s yapping.

How does it fix it? I’m familiar with the rules but not the lore

Ford Trukk is an excellent name for a fighter.

Poor. … A poor lifestyle means going without the comforts available in a stable community. Simple food and lodgings, threadbare clothing, and unpredictable conditions result in a sufficient, though probably unpleasant, experience. Your accommodations might be a room in a flophouse or in the common room above a tavern. You benefit from some legal protections, but you still have to contend with violence, crime, and disease. People at this lifestyle level tend to be unskilled laborers, costermongers, peddlers, thieves, mercenaries, and other disreputable types. Mercenaries are a pretty unsafe job, and they can still only afford 2 sp a day, so I don’t think workplace safety factors in much.

Like I said. Every game. Mine is usually a polymorph into a T rex off something

See, evasion isn’t an ability, it’s a trait and by that I mean you don’t get to choose to use evasion; it’s a perk that triggers during specific scenarios. Namely, only applied when “you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dex save to take only half damage” So, it’s funny, Mr. Rogue, that I don’t quite remember calling for a Dex save …

Hey, one could do worse than be Jimmy Carr. You could be his ventriloquist. ‍️

Meanwhile almost all my BG3 playthroughs are evil Durge

Hey, if that’s what’s fun for your group, fuckit, why not?

I could shoot someone on AskLemmy and no one would bat an eye

Exactly. This is absolutely a non issue.

Stop spamming LLM slop, OP.

I actually went to a session zero for a planned astrology-themed campaign where there were two antagonists who alternated between being controlling a PC and being the DM. The players wanted neither of them to achieve their goal, so whichever demiurge was in flesh mode would be helping the other PCs to counteract the places of the other pc/dm. We tried to figure out how to actually make it work and said “yeah nah”.
