        "Do I have to explain, one more Gods-damned time, I CAN’T HEAL WITHOUT MY WEED! IT IS PART OF MY RELIGION!

        I’m getting Dankroth on the stone right now. This is DISCRIMINATION!"

        I can imagine it.

        I can already hear the compelling argument why their chaotic good cleric should be able to use ‘purify water’ on their own piss to pass the test.

        Honestly, I would probably just allow it, but force the party to make a bunch of stealth tests to not get caught passing their pee samples to the cleric.

    New D&D players: “I wish I was a badass like my character.”

    Intermediates: “Haha my bard disguised as a fighter just fell down a mineshaft what an ignominous end. Hey DM, for my next character, are you cool with lawful-good-aligned clerics of chaotic neutral deities? God I do not envy my characters but they are so fucking funny.”

    Veterans: “My character is just me except fantasy.”

      Tragic backstories are sad things that happened before the player took over.

      Tragic frontstories are awful things that happened because the player took over.

    I’d love to have horns and a tail, and an otherworldly devilish charisma. Not sure about the racism I’d end up on the receiving end of though

    My character’s village was wiped out by a necromancer and he’s currently an undead abomination out for revenge. I think I’m fine where I am.

    Wife and I were just talking about thr rise of D&D and the isekai genre in media and how overly popular both are right now. Like, seriously anywhere is better than planet earth right now.

      In D&D I can live out my fantasies of having enough agency in my life to do something about the end of the world brought about by megalomaniacal bastards, and having positive net worth.

    This movie should have been named A Divorce Story, and then promptly dumped into the ocean. What the fuck was the point of the thing? It’s just a two hour long exposé into misery.
