But first, replies!

prideling replied to your post “Man, I really, really want to start playing D&D. I’m thinking about...”

That's a great idea! There's so much out there to help you learn stuff (Matt Mercer's, Satine Phoenix's, and Matt Colville's stuff for starters, also just listening to different shows and absorbing rules and styles through osmosis). Also, and I'm a little shy about saying this, but I was thinking about doing something for any online friends who never get a chance to play on International Tabletop Day which falls on a saturday this year, so that could also be an option

Not really? Charm person doesn’t really force you to answer or even say the truth. You just regard the person as friendly. That drow was still ready to gut Molly while under the influence, he would’ve just felt bad about it. It’s about the same in my book

was referring to the time they uncover Nott’s backstory with that. And mind manipulation to make someone think you are their close friends that they can confide in is still pretty intrusive to me. 

Fanfiction! 

Fanfiction has only changed my life for the better. It started in 2004 when I ended up overcoming all my self-doubt and posting fic even when I was terrified that I would be awful. 

Guys, INVOICES! They are a lifesaver, really!

I use invoices. The do not protect you from chargebacks and I don’t understand why people keep insisting they do. 

I just imagined Jaal easily sweeping him up for a hug because Angara are HUGE and now I can’t stop cackling.

*slams fist on table* YES. 

AFTER HE AND SARA HAVE SEX AFFIRM THEIR RELATIONSHIP 

“We are family now!” *bear hug*

Like in front of the whole ship

Everyone is prepared for Jaal to die

Sara’s a widow and they haven’t even gotten married yet

ooh! //leans forward// go on

One day I'll be caught up, I swear xD

So that kind of thing gets better as the campaign goes on? I just started watching from episode 1 this week and… well… it didn’t hook me as much as I thought it would, partly because of that sort of thing. Everyone says it’s so great, though! Game changing even.

In the later episodes it is DEFINITELY improved, and it feels like they all get way better about putting more thought into their relationships and treating the characters as people rather than just a collection of amusing tropes + uncomfortable sexist jokes. But I am having a hard time getting through the early episodes for exactly this reason. If I hadn’t been introduced to the more emotionally mature versions of these characters, I might not have kept watching. (ahhh I want you to watch the show though!)
