Thank you! I really loved the songs she made for Mighty Nein and Vox Machina.
Idiomdrottning demonstrates a new and often cleaner way to solve most systems problems. The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to culture users but at the same time quite foreign.

01·9 months agoSo while I’m always happy when people are criticizing D&D Beyond in particular or proprietary platforms in general, in this particular case it’s actually against the rules-as-intended to play a 2014 Oath of the Ancient in a 2024 paladin shell.
(All house ruling aside, of course, and heaven knows I love house ruling and how house ruling is an argument against D&D Beyond.)
2014 oaths that do not have a 2024 version are still legal in the 2024 shell, but for oaths that do have a 2024 version, you’ve got to play the 2024 version if your group is playing D&D 5.24.
The reason for this is that some of the updated subclasses have nerfs or that features from them have been moved to the shell or otherwise taxed. Or, even the ones that have been buffed have the same issue in some sorta bid for table balance.
I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they’re in 2024 content I don’t own
The intent is that it should work like this:
I cannot pick the 2014 version of things regardless of ownership if they’re in 2024 content regardless of ownership.
If Beyond platform ownership enters the equation, the Beyond team has messed up.
(Again, the word “legal” is a little silly in a game like D&D which works best when groups can change any rule, mash up editions freely etc. So please don’t shoot the messenger here. I don’t agree with WotC’s decision here. I just remember them announcing that this was how it was going to work, even at the table with all physical books and no Beyond.)
So in the end I am safe from Ghyrson shooting me with his autostubs? Then we played it right.♥︎
Thank you! The issue is that Ghyrson and the goblins do their damage simultaneously (3+1-1=3, but if that’s 2+1 I still get shot but if that’s 3+0 I don’t).
3·1 year agoIt’s still so awesome to me that a roleplaying group is in Rolling Stone magazine.
2·2 years agoElves are of a culture that’s long familiar with magic yet respects magic and its ways.
0·2 years agoThere’s a lot of extreme content on the Fediverse (such as harassment).
Not sure. There’s a lot of kinda creepy stuff on here 😰
01·2 years agoThe wrong thing was that “It doesn’t matter what the US does” when the US is exceptionally culpable on the demand side, the drill side, and the policy side.
And looking at per capita, consumtion based, the US is ten times as bad as China. US: 20 tons per person. China: 2 tons. I think the world average is 4t.
China still needs to cut down because 2 tons is a lot more than what is OK but holy shit saying
But the problem is, even if all of the US came together and stopped 100% of our emissions, China would still continue to pump out 90% of the world emissions
is the wrongest thing I’ve ever heard. There are very few countries on this planet who arr doing worse than the US:

Oh, that is wonderful!
Yeah, I’ve been reading Nick Bentley, he’s like been wary of even simple abstracts, let alone a full euro. I’m still gonna cut down overall (not buying new hardware is better than buying harm-reduced hardware) but I’m glad they’re trying to harm-reduce! 👍🏻
Makes me more interested in the game.
I guess I see pandemics as still an unsolved and dangerous issue, although of course not as bad and important as climate change is, so I still have a hard time seeing the difference.
I didn’t mean to rain on your parade and I hope you end up enjoying the game.👍🏻
For me, buying new board games is something that’s riddled with climate guilt. It’s one of my own biggest footprint leaks. And this theme, I feel, would remind me everytime I’m playing the game about that. Which I guess is a good thing.
I already have nine co-op games so I’m set for a while*. If peeps in my part of the world need to fill up seats for Daybreak I’d be willing to give it a spin on someone else’s copy. 🫡
Leacock has made some great games.*: Actually I kind of needed this thread because I’ve been eyeing Unfathomable today but I guess I don’t need a tenth coop game right now. This is the irony of Daybreak’s theme—it’s meant to inspire the fight against climate change and as such it reminds me to not buy games much more than a plastic pile like Unfathomable can.
Climate change has the same “going through it in real life” trait as Pandemic has.
5·2 years agoIt’s awesome!
Now that the concept has caught on so widely, I’ve often wished @[email protected] had gone with a less scatological term. But maybe that is part of the reason it caught on 🤷🏻♀️
That’s rich when the Google Play store is full of malware while F-Droid is full of gems.
best: play games with them
Yes! I was just about to say the same thing.
It’s something most boardgamers really want, it’s something that they can’t buy, and it’s lower impact on the planet than buying a bunch of plastic and cardboard.
There is this game CO2 where everyone is kind of the villain sorta but you’re also supposed to be cooperating. It doesn’t work very well, your idea sounds better.
But the theme is still a li’l weird to me.
Holy Sword! One of the best one page dungeons of all time.
