if its good you have 35 other books of LORE
if its bad you can just leave it lmao
it'd be cool to see a fantasy series where the opening party meets in a tavern, the paladin, wizard, rogue, druid and artificer, except the first five books is all of their stories up to that point and why they decided to become adventurers
like how the fuck did the paladin afford a set of full plate? turns out he made it with his blacksmith mother to protect his family during an otherworldly invasion
or how the wizard was born into a posh sorcerer society, but had no inherit magic and learned it through spite alone
that would be interesting but im not sure id enjoy full books
maybe companion novellas
there you go
i do think its a good idea
i don't do much writing but it's still interesting to think about
indeed
Play shadowrun! Be a dragon with a shotgun!

chat does this go hard
That’s me on my way to the casino!
WHO TOOK THAT PHOTO?!?!?
Always knew you were a sith lord
Palpatine in disguise
the pigeon that flew into your car by accident
this was intended to go to the government, but i intercepted it and sent it here
IM ON THE JUICE!
never had these ones, funnily enough
I can’t handle coffee. So my caffeine / sugar / rage is fueled by monster drinks.
Currently running 30+ hours with under 4 hours sleep
But I get a sleep break in 9 hours.
Emergency response work and health care does this from time to time
Old folks home had a gas leak. We had to evac everyone
on the bright side, good care is close by if something did happen
mango locos carried high school
During Covid some of us slept 3-4 hours every 72 hours as standard practice.
Is why I don’t tolerate any smack talk about health care workers, doctors, nurses, etc.
Insurance? Talk smack. The staff? Nopes
I’m stepping down / away from a lotta stuff to focus just on nurse and hospice work.
My dad is going to enter hospice soon, and I got my own health issues cropping up. Left leg is going bad.
Medicare is cutting off his insurance for caretakers. The caretaker who assists me is like family at this point, and he wants to work pro-bono, but they won’t permit it.
oof. best of luck to you and your dad. stuff sucks at times :(
We will figure stuff out.
Just exhausting at the hurdles. Insurance companies suck.
They saw that my dad donated part of is $80K in casino winnings to his church.
And Donations are subject to payments. So he now owes $20K after we lawyered up to get all his emergency care work paid for.
Constant battle with paperwork, lawyers, and insurance takes a lot of mental energy
The sheer concept of NEEDING a lawyer to have insurance cover what they agree to cover is just…… insane
Still waiting for release
Can project mugen hurry tf up pls

Wasn't even in a mission
man my SSD might be failing 
his haircut looking like franklins anyways, i would be offended too
AI do be freaky out
i'm not sure you understand the joke
i didn't think it was ai
the op about the smoothie ingredients reminded the retweeter of the fairly odd parents theme song
hai slappy
JUST NOW?
i thought it was a shitty liquor store from the outside
last night
then i pulled up and it was like a quality ass proper grocery store
it was nice weather. my allergies have been acting up though. my wife too
ah
hoping i can figure out a medication combo that helps me out
my eyes are red and burn all the time
u sure you arent high?
i was high yesterday
oh
are u sure ur not an evil robot
i'm not sure about that
weed, alcohol, mushrooms, CAFFEINE
that's it though no hard stuff
i see a severe lack of woter
do you know that's the case
lol the really funny thing is my dad who is a generally a stuffy lawyer is the person who introduced me to shrooms
wow
shiitake mushroom
straight to jail zee
ghotiiiii
wha
do i know that its allergies?
yes
someone was mentioning i should check my house for mold
so you know the cuase, why aren't you taking allergy medication
grrr
that too
I didn't know that could detect mold
it couldnt
:c
i'm taking medication. we moved to a new part of the planet to us recently so we are responding differently to the different environment
but it could check if u went sicko mode
im gonna crashout
Black mold, delicious
look behind ur ears
Baffles me that some people are chill with eating bread with a bit of mold in it because they just eat around it
My brother in christ you're eating the mold roots
EW
my grandma didn't live through the great depression but if you look through her kitchen / at her diet, you wouldn't believe it
i went to her house and she offered me some 5 years past expiration crackers
found out after i took a bite and it tasted... vile
I can't shit talk anyone's diet lmao, mine is so bad that it caused me to get osteoporosis
no u didnt
grandma said i was overreacting and took a bite and said "SEE? They are fine."
and put them back in her cupboard
that's the story of the last time i ate anything at grandma's house
out of anything
why do you have it
because he plays games like an origami
he a shrimp
Because I got bad Vitamin D
are you sure
what the heck are vitamins 🗣️
lol is dairy free an osteoporosis joke?
Bad diet still contributes to that
Hands me a jar of it every now and then
the sun gave me a car the other day
Fren
sun is pretty cool
But ye, the endocrinologist said her youngest patient with osteoporosis was in their mid 40s
So I massively broke that record
🧐
monka
🤔
Cheers
It's at it's most severe in my spine and hipbone
that sounds like a lot
So I'm gonna be like that one elderly person that shatters their hipbone after tripping over
Except I'm in my early 20s
😦
It's so over for me, I gotta find my favourite jello flavour
I'll need to start chugging those at the bingo tournaments
Become bingo king
Dude ima be a bingo addict if I somehow make it to that age
But realistically, I think I'll die in a chair accident before then
I tip over or something
were you given medications?
Not yet, the main thing for a while has been to take lots of vitamin D supplements first
Then I probably gotta get an infusion
The side effect of that infusion is probably gonna cause me to act even more elderly
b4
sometimes u gotta wrap ur ham and pickle in toilet paper
tp makes an emergency lo carb tortilla
enlighten me people, should I play b41 while waiting for b42 to finish or should I go ahead and start digging into b42?
yes
i like b42. if you don't like broken unfinished things, or bugs, probably b41
b42 feels very playable for the most part
Big strong Russian man
grippers
God I'm glad they kept that line in the remake
modded kenshi?
fr. I encounter lots of bug lol and my fps droppinn
dayum ey where's beep the troll
Fellow Kenshi enjoyer
michellin man armour
update: skotina is fucking dead
old age
Beak Thing ambush
do you see those big fat swamp raptors all around him
Oh swamp raptors
aren't those not hostile if you leave them alone?
all i see are big boned swamp raptors
(he's not dead he just took an involuntary dirt nap)
The most horrifying moment I had in Kenshi was when I saw an Elder Beak Thing
It was massive and it was obliterating a UC city singlehandedly
Every guard was wiped out
sheesh
they eat your crops and as soon as that happens your survivors IMMEDIATELY turn hostile
i have no sympathy for holy nation scum
sorry i used my copy of the holy flame to wipe my ass
WHAT
Brotha has never seen the Skin Bandits smh
hmm... maybe. i've seen canibals
Oh far worse
go southeast
Skin Bandits are a cult of Skeletons that skin humans and use their skin as clothing
Pretend to be human
sorry what was that? i can't hear you over the sound of 160 water and 100% green environment

lmao nerd has no hydroponics
I have always been a bast believer
not sure where my favorite down south is yet though
strongly tied between the deadlands and the swamp
Sniper Valley
swamp sucks dick
thats literally the third most hostile environment besides venge and ashlands
it sucks for people attacking you too
going through the swamp will make you lose your waypoint
sonorous dark
yes, it's great training
that's my main reason
you will stop whether you like it or not
i dont care about dangers in kenshi
i hate being interrupted while travelling
Sonorous Dark is the best endgame base location IMO
I'm at war with HN and UC and I don't suffer from it, I enjoy it
Shek Simp
who? me?
this area here is great for fighting too because theres 4 hostile factions constantly patrolling here (i forget what this area is called but its always a thunder dome)
kenshi sounds fun to play
shek are boring and have no real culture, imagine simping for them
pitts east has some neato base locations tho
honestly the gameplay is mid but if you like RPGs and have a good imagination then its a wonderful experience
it is pretty fun. if you like pz you can probably squeeze at least 100 hours out of kenshi
but i dont like pz (alone)
it is definitely a bring your own fun kind of game... you need to make your own goals and your own story
c'mere I'll fight you over this @icy vigil
he just like me fr
shek dont know how to civilization all they know is berserk, hate flatskins, and die to the bugmaster
they're only starting to
sheks are the cutest
sort of
kenshi lore tho
I aint agreeing with mistershark btw
kenshi lore is like if someone made the finno-korean hyperwar a real thing
scalies
since it's a prequel
sheks are just mutated humans
Probably not super strong but not in as bad of a state as they are now
i dont think they fall under scalies
don't they have actual scales
what about hivers
scalies
I don't think we know for sure about hivers actually
mildly disappointed no UC
You can probably find them in a lab or something
hivers were a slave race created by the second empire to replace humans and become docile servants
The real question for Kenshi 2 is: Is Armour King still in that same location
yes ||they were created by the second empire to serve as slaves, their queens are skeletons that were supposed to be controlled by the second empire before it fell||
Bros gotta be still there
Armour King had been there for like at least 900 years right?
kenshi 2 isnt coming out til 2026 i think
would be cool if it was before his store fell in the river
what do you guys think is coming first: pz b42 mp or kenshi 2
gta 6
It'd be cool if you got to see Tinfist back when he was a Catlon loyalist though
not that early
Well, either its just freshly opened, he's a unique recruit, or he may be in some other shop before that
armor king as an NPC you can eventually recruit sounds sick
I do not like how you cannot get crafting recruits in vanilla kenshi
sounds OP
Never ask a skeleton what they were doing at the time of the second empire
I dont think it's bad if recruiting him is tied to world state
Poor skeletons lmao
like that shek queen's daughter
I feel bad for a lot of em
He only has level 1 armorsmithing btw
he'll just be the new beep
the second empire was brutally evil
Stobe saved humanity from extinction
Ye IK, still feel bad for the skeletons, a lot of em spent hundreds of years with guilt over it
Second empire is recompense
couldn't they just get their memories wiped?
It was founded on good intentions that eventually just fell to tyranny. Now they have 2 big things to feel guilty about
A lot of em seem like they still remember all of that though
Hence why they just stay away from humans and just stand around depressed
So I'd have to imagine the memory wipe probably isn't a complete memory wipe
The holy nation hates skeletons because they are the oldest civilization in the game and they remember what the second empire did
i just wish they wouldnt jump me every time i walk in their city with a prosthetic leg
Ye still doesn't stop me for feeling bad for the skeleton survivors though
Hundreds of years being depressed over it and voluntarily exiling themselves seems like it's long enough
Cat-lon felt the need to thrall em too
Yeah, poor thralls
maybe he's just paranoid but he probably was getting pushback over his whole antics
i think you're giving skeletons too much credit
they're not saints
Yeah my belief is that a significant amount of skeletons went against him by the end
They say that if you wipe your memory you lose all your skills but it keeps you sane
cat-lon refused to wipe his memory, making him the most skilled warrior in the game but also making him totally insane
Good chunk of em being the thralls you see
Never said they were saints
Just that I feel bad for em
there's also a current skeleton that still threatens the whole of kenshi
the hive king will use the southern hive to kill everyone
Well yeah but not every skeleton wants to do what that guy does
given the chance if you destroy all factions
Most of em just wanna be alone
I think the only objectively good faction in the game is the flotsam ninjas
What about the Anti-Slavers
No long term planning
Doesn't make em not good guys though
I mean, in Kenshi?
Just flawed
i mean, talk to tinfist. He says he straight up doesn't care about people dying if they cause a rebellion, because everyone in the empire is evil for not stopping slavery.
Would you rather be enslaved or live in ruins and starving
The UC enslaved aren't going to last long either way
Cuz that's what happens if you follow Tinfist and don't make other alliances he doesn't care to make
It won't be surprising if the UC collapses in the coming decades
the UC is comically evil
Their economic system is not sustainable at all
Their lands have so many bandits and insurgencies
They won't last long
I'd argue HN is lawful good
How are they neutral
UC is chaotic neutral
because they think they're doing what's best for humanity
I don't think that makes you neutral
they're extremists but they have their shit together better than the UC or Sheks
Do you know how many evil groups think what they're doing is for the best of humanity?
i mean, they DID burn down Bast
beliefs aside they're tamer than the other majors
They're tamer if you put the main issue aside lmao
Aside from misogyny and zenophobia, HN are probably the best and most stable faction out there
They have the biggest concentration camp in the lands don't forget
I mean Sheks dont have a real society and the UC are barely cohesive city states
disregarding the major issues of UC as well
sheks are chaotic neutral
the whole slavery and oligarchy thing
So I'd highly disagree HN is neutral
actually, sheks are probably true neutral.
they’re mean
they called me a flatskin and that really hurt my feelings :(
and racist
that said I dislike all majors and like it that way
none of them are good
Everyone's racist in Kenshi, kinda the norm
that's for sure
I like the Shek the most of the major factions, but I don't really like em that much
More of a if I had to choose my poison
i think the whole point of kenshi is that there is NO good faction. every one of them is evil (except IMO the flotsam ninjas)
this is normal
usually getting your ass kicked and dying
i just rob everyone
that's actually OP
Id say the Machinists are good
the real trick is getting better at training your guys
Minus one of the leaders secretly working against em
machinists are the guys at world's end yeah?
The university guys
I dont view tech hunters as a real faction
their main leader is actively censoring and burning books that talk about what the second empire actually did
Tech hunters feels more like stalker loners than a proper faction imo
yeah but I view em in the same lense as the UC
and that one platform area
they identify as tech hunter but when it comes down to it the city will act on it's own interests
Nah that's the leaders assistant
Tech hunters are probably true neutral
Machinists are probably neutral good
instead of the faction
It's fucked up but I'd still classify their faction as good
They're trying to preserve history for everybody else
It's a noble goal
with little to no selfish intention behind it
tech hunters also heal you when they see you
see you incapacitated
they're pretty alright
nah
which ones
Hivers?
they serve their queen
yea , the bugs
hivers are cool
I like trading with em
they’re cute
western not so much
Even Western Hive aren't good
@frail shadow This is about the hivers ^
But they aren't terrible
they wont question the tons of loot I stole from the HN/Shek
fogmen is just outright chaotic
fogmen are beasts
i’ve not looked at any kenshi lore
dont think they qualify for alignment
i know the skeletons are important but that’s about it
Bugmen just want to sell me their overpriced lanterns
I don't classify fogmen as evil
Other than that, they're good
if you walk into their queen's nest then all of the guards start screaming THE QUEEN NOOOOO AAAHHH THE QUEEN NOOOOOOO
Seems more like they're afflicted with something
buy them anyway
they just love her so much
that belt slot has no uses anyway
In DnD true “neutral”’is insanely rare.
In the old days of yore. Even the books themselves specified that “true neutral” does not and cannot exist.
Neutral means taking no side, nor taking ACTION.
A neutral good druid would not kill enemies of the forest, even if they burned down his forest for example.
Chaotic Good would. Lawful Neutral would (if the law allowed capital punishment or killing in defense of the forest).
Chaotic Neutral is literally an insane person. So they do whatever they want with little to no care about anything
you get dropped lore by just observing
and money is no issue
better that way
after some point
Neutral means that you follow your OWN morality
just play the game and come back here if you want busted grinding strats or something
i have no time to observe between ass beatings
you decide what is good and bad
they will continue until you can defend yourself
I took a DND morality test and i got true neutral
i get the holy empire or whatever they’re called
can you blame em lmao
they’re just modern day american christians
lol
Nah, it's cause of how fucked UC is
If you talk to their leader after allying with the anti-slavers, he has a really sad dialogue with you
Becoming a desperate bandit in the UC is probably your best chance of surviving there
It's just that much of a shithole
I like recruiting any that survive raiding my base
they wont live long cause of how I set up my bleedout and damage settings
you can build bases
but until they die as meat for the grinder they will be fed and sheltered
Do you guys play with UWE?
Either way, my belief is that if either the Shek or UC collapse, the other faction is fucked because of that
HN is only being kept at bay because they're fighting a two front war
With one of those fronts gone, good luck
I dont think the UC will collapse completely
Three if you include the flotsam ninjas
I'd say they're pretty likely to collapse in the coming decades though
it's gonna be medieval italy up there
I think it's going to go into a civil war as soon as the emperor dies
but with samurai mercs
Would you even include them as a front? They seem more like a small guerilla force
Not a major threat to em
nobles seem self absorbed
UC is comically evil
Nah I don't think so
I don't see HN naturally collapsing unless there's player intervention
I dont care about morality cause everyone in kenshi is a dickhead
Nobles will straight up KILL YOU if you stand in their way
I don't think the nobles give a shit about who is emperor
Because the emperor is obviously just a puppet
am referring to how an usurpation could be bloodless or very limited
They know the traders guild are the real leadership
Gate guards in UC cities will sometimes plant hashish on you and demand a bribe to avoid turning you in
with whole cities sitting things out while the few people who care fight it out
Also they make you pay taxes. Which is EVIL
Are those videogame factions?
Kenshi
tbh the taxes aint bad
its just a business expense if your base is functional enough
Just set up in the middle of Venge
I think what would fuck em up eventually is supply chain issues. Because eventually some of these cities would defect when it gets rough
They can try extorting taxes if they can get past the death laser and thralls
yeah and fighting a war is gonna make it worse
The shek will raid your food as tribute, the uc will tax you, the HN just demands you have a holy flame book in your inventory on prayer day
may as well sit things out and ave whoever comes out on top
Depends on how corrupt whoever is taxing you
I will never give up my robot arms
also dont be a woman
I'll never give up my hiver brothers
actually dont be a non-human male
shek will take all of the food they can carry which is negligible to what the UC taxes you for
Don't be a non-human in general otherwise you fucked there
practically a cost of business
I actually haven't had any problems with them as a human woman. They still let me do prayer day. They just get a little bit feisty in dialogue
I think hivers are my favorite group. They're just silly little guys who love the queen
im always a skeleton so i keep pissing them off anyway
my last base was in shek kingdom... just pocket all your food when they come
the only issue with the hive is it's much more profitable to rob them than the HN or the Shek
who are both poor
Robbery?? when I want money I just do hasish runs from the Swamp to Flats Lagoon lmao
I prefer getting wealth through fighting
yeah, theft is just too OP to use
smuggling is kinda eh ~~ he says as he steals 100000000 beak thing eggs ~~
i just kill the cleanser units in the ashlands
I think my favorite thing about living in the holy nation is that it's incredibly close to Armor King.
it's not theft if you killed the other guy first, then it's rightful spoils of war
🤗
I'm playing with Universal Wasteland Expansion and I still don't know what I wanna do for this run.
So far I have 6 souls and an average combat skill level of 30 for all of them
UWE is ok but I dont like the item bloat
That would be chaotic.
Chaotic Good is robin hood.
Neutral good would be Buddha
I agree. I wish they would have UWE but with JUST the new factions.
when the player is just going to mass produce one of a thing anyway
The new armor is cool too but I really don't need 30 different kinds of crops.
shout out to @tall kiln
they're a lot of samurai but better
i fucking hate him
why would chris do this
Be nice!
we all hate you @tall kiln
Random spawn put me in Louisville
haha
I have 30 hours ;-;
mb
I found a katana tho so idk
Chaotic means you don't care about the legal system and believe in vigilante justice.
Neutral means you selectively care about the legal system and GENERALLY believe in the rule of law, but you allow some things to slide
@ruby river to directly quote the books:
“neutral represents the LACK of inclination towards good or evil, law or chaos. It’s often described as a moral grey area, where individuals act based on what seems natural to them, without prejudice for or against any particular alignment.”
Lawful means "it's in the law therefore it's good"
I just quoted the DnD books themselves. They are the authority on definitions not us
That's what I said. You follow your own morality
I have a hard time following laws that don't make sense in my eyes
Does this mean Thorfinn is a true neutral
thorfinn is my favorite DnD character
wow really [tax evader] i never would have known
“What is natural to them”. It goes on further.
- Coughs in co author of Dragonlance content*
me when DnD standards don't have to applied everywhere 
Up till 4th edition, True Neutral was considered more or less an impossibility.
me, a dragon, eating people gets called 'evil', but like i just want food
no different than sheep or a bear, albeit the bear usually puts up more of a fight
sheep eat people?
people eat people?
yeah
I eat all three
rileyyyy
hey floof
you never check your dms >:c
as a request?
Old school DnD was rascist AF about dragons.
Colored dragons (green, red) were ALWAYS evil alignment.
While chome (gold, silver) were always good
wdym? like, they are food to me
yeah gotta love a non human species being written from a human perspective when it is not a metaphor but rather a literal interpretation of the species
Abigail: Nord and Stormcloak.
I play that up. She attacks Imperials on sight, with the exception of those in Whiterun, as she works with the Jarl.
She also evacs out people she has converted to Mara and Dibella before the civil war erupts.
even the babies?
i'm not like purposefully hunting them down, like yeah it's just food, there isn't a deeper layer here
Nah, it was un-intentional.
Dnd started off with a tiny ass book that was 30 pages long.
So as it grew, lore also grew.
Used to have very clear cut roles. Like 100% of dark elves are evil. They could NOT be good
Good shi
I honestly don't dive too deep into the conflict, but FNV alr made me hate Roman larpers, so the same applies to Skyrim. And I'm german so hating romans is in my blood, this includes the larpers 
ah alr, i won't read too deep into it then lol. still a neat tidbit from the earlier days for sure!
Menzenberanzen boxed set came out in the eary 90’s and was one of the first attempts to really expand on the under dark and dark elves
the empire had already won at the beginning of skyrim
alduin robbed the empire of killing ulfric
My best friend killed me with an arrow in a LARP war. Bruised like 3 ribs and I was in full chain mail!
An arrow to the knee 
In true nerd style, I fell in love with her
Just besties tho. She never saw me romantically
Rizz
Nah, I'd win
Truly
Trust me, those imperials don't have the nord strength (the nord armor is weaker on average)
Never ask a nord the race of his wife
it's not like the imperials will do an ethnic cleansing of nords
chat
they will be a province
metaphorically kissing the homies goodnight is great, had plenty a friend who i would be "close with" by normie standards but was totes just friendship :)
i care for my friends, and they care for me
wtf is this chat
Before 2nd edition we also had resurrection items!
“Golden spheres”. You crack them open over a player and the gold god goop resurrects them.
Was a way to keep players alive, when 2nd edition dropped they were removed from official lore cause of the imbalance.
wheres the playground
Truly
Dark elves, khajiits...
XD
Not Argonians tho!
super cool as a quest item, and i see why they wouldn't want to keep it in the standard item set XD
Im poly and pan. I got friends I have been intimate with. Friends I have not been intimate with.
Is how it goes
Most likely not.
Hold up... we talking D&D? Without me???
it was kenshi
Skyrim
Eh, F skyrim.
I’m going to get you
I agree the main quest is lmao
yeppers :3
it's nice to break the social norms and just care for those who are meaningful to you, regardless of what that looks like
getting lost in the world is cool tho
FUS RO DAH to Skyrim in general.
Dave was explaining some early edition lore tidbits about dragons and it just kept on going from there :P
My nordic head is too stubborn to become a vampire 
I rather wanna turn into a feral and buff furry that rips other people apart
Sometimes homies just need a snuggle!
D&D dragon lore is fucking convoluted and weird... but also amazing. There was a time before people when it was just giants and dragons and they just about destroyed the entire world.
mildy annoyed skyrim is known as THE RPG just for being the modder's playground when other RPGs actually deliver on the RPG experience better
like what
OLD school DnD my fren
Talking back in the Thac0 days
Idgaf about the RPG experience as long as i can put fuckin metal pots on the heads of whiterun guards
Arcanum is a misguided game
Underrail, Icewind Dale
it teaches unfair hate against gnomes
Baldur's gate
all it takes is a pair of thigh highs 
No
Oh... no... THAC0 can go and die. It was the worst idea Gary ever came up with.
have you tried the remastered mod for Icewind Dale 2? its p good
it helps that skyrim was phenomenal for its time
and actively encouraged modding
I love dragons!! Totes not biased by being a dragon myself. Totally unrelated
I mean, I remember it and played with it and understood it... but it was the most counterintuitive bullshit.
Especially since AC -10 was the the best???
Skyrim dragons are weird because they resemble wyverns more than dragons.
They're not smart enough to be real dragons.
try Planescape Torment.
Faerun lore is pretty consistent tho.
Few people know that every year IRL had content development for the forgotten realms world.
The Avatar War was Sooooo Epic to play while it was taking place.
Meaning young Elmister while he lived in his tower by the Dale Lands?
So frikkin cool
Arcanum's story is good enough that I'm willing to suffer through it's combat tho
Programmer mindset understands having a negative positive modifier stat+(-10), but can also see how fucked that is when youre not expecting it
to hit armor class zero
Yup
part of why I'm not really impressed by skyrim
sure don't feel like a civil war is raging
there was a mod that fixed that but it was removed by modding drama
My homebrew world that has been built over the last 30 years is, imho, better than the Forgotten Realms. I included content inspired by the late, great Terry Pratchett, and that's better than anything Salvatore could do. 😉
The handbooks changed that tho.
You could not go past -10, but you could modify things.
Certain skills would add bonuses to attack rolls. OR minus from an enemies attack.
Or just flat out immune to weapons.
Time scale was also INSANE. A single turn was 1 MINUTE. Now its 3-5 seconds
That was how 2e was. No stat increases ever. You get what you roll on 3d6.
6 seconds.
10 rounds = 1 turn = 1 minute
Which is weird considering how "a turn" is used in current days.
I solve everything just casting web and then stinking cloud
it will disable most living enemies that breathe
I solved everything by casting web and then lighting it on fire.
Heh, okay, not on every character... but I did have a character that the party said was banned from using the web spell because of how often I did this.
I remember one time my DM thought a beholder would wipe our party
then I casted glitterdust
then after my DM read the spell over like 3 times he gave up and realized I cheesed his beholder
you guys would definitely play dnd
I have over 20 years of playing dnd
I would play more if it wasn't for scheduling issues
i stopped playing mostly during covid times
I used to calculate times in old school DnD.
Since 1 turn = 1 minute, some fights took HOURS in-world.
Took over 10 years for that to be officially addressed.
Was funny too cause 99% of players rejected the d20 system when it first dropped.
New = bad.
So we had to demo it for people to show how the math was more or less the same.
People where PISSED they could not have 57-% in a skill and had to settle for 55% or 60%
we tried TTS
aint ideal either (requires the whole table to read the rules)
well obviously nothing beats a table
turns out, huge ask
MEGAMATS.
I have some modular maps
My favorite was in a 3.5 game when I had a character with Shivering Touch. I used it against a Kraken. He was instantly paralyzed because Krakens ain't got a great Dex score and that spell did Dex damage.
Mega Maps were the blank vinyl rolls of 6 foot by 3 foot. With a grid.
So you could use dry erase markers and draw whatever you liked on them
Vinyl maps in the 90s are the Roll20 of the now. 😄
I am a relic! Lol
first dnd experience was with my older sister DMing with one of those. still the best time i had playing DnD bar none. Robe of Useful things my beloved.
that was quite a while ago now, goodness
I still have my 10d6 crystal blue dice I use for lightning bolt spells.
Yeah... I guess I'm with Dave here, as a relic. I've been playing D&D since the 80s.
the dice dragon approves of this :3
I have the FIRST miniatures ever made! 4 elves at least.
Yeah, sharks are old... but Dave and I are too. 😉
Still have my Grey box for forgotten realms as well as the orange box starter set.
And the DM’s guide with the demon on the cover that scared parents across America
I used to have the red box set... but then my younger brother stole it while I was at college and sold it.
Im older than Star Wars…..

Same, but barely. I was only 2 months old when A New Hope dropped.

I grew up in Mormon city (utah), so dnd was looked at as being devil worship.
Now everyone in my family plays it to some extent. Or games like warhammer
@heavy ivy may be impressed: I’m a dragon.
Born in 1976. Year of the dragon
hey chat
If everyone in the entire world turned into YOU, how long would it be until there was a murder
1 second
the last enemy just fuckin died to idk what... a fence? no shots fired bro just died lmao
fun bug ig
Oh 100%. Look at the original art!
Kinda like the lord of the pit card for magic the gathering.
Epic art and parents lost their minds
oh awesome :3 i salute thee with scales and fangs
I do remember the "satanic panic". I actually hate the Mazes and Monsters movie because of that.
PEOPLE THINK THE MOVIE REALLY HAPPENED
IKR??? WTF?
I dont get the satanic panic
Yeah. Constantly hearing stories about some vague college kids running around in the sewers, etc.
Literally the movie plot.
Then claim it REALLY happened.
2025 has not evolved lol. People make S up even today
my own hometown was deeply catholic and ghost/horror anything were all the rage
Good morning, good evening or good night yall. This is my first message ever and I just wanted to say that I think PZ is a very good game :)
Evangelicals appeared for the first time in the early 90’s and took over television.
So everything was the devil. It meant ratings and money
Welcome to PZ! Best game ever
Noone here will tell you otherwise. 😁
To be fair, early D&D had a lot of real world mythology baked in.
aint most horror baked in mythology
When a game has actual Beelzebub in the game, things got a bit weird.
ah right yeah literal hell and satanic rituals
that's fair
lotsa ways someone can get sent to hell
what game is this
🫂
doorkickers 2
Yups.
Still KINDA does. Just way more expanded.
Old achool DnD also had tons of weird shit.
Monekeybee’s. Owlbears. …
19 Views. Watch Militia Spam.mp4 and millions of other Door Kickers 2 videos captured using Medal.
@icy vigil built in replays are the best part
wait its actually named doorkickers 2
yeah
This is VANILLA content in 2025.
i thought you were fucking with me because i thought it was intravenous
I still prefer the truly weird shit like beholders and mind flayers.
fire salt
Those brain collectors from spelljammer!
If they harvested 10 brains they gave birth. So they reproduced by collecting brains
In fact the game I'm currently running in 5e is an illithid as the main antagonist game.
I remember when the DracoLich first dropped.
Destroyed like 5 entire parties fighting one
I have baldurs gate still on disc for MacIntosh
I have yet to try intravernous
but it's in my library now
when the mood strikes me
Just no mac to play it on.
i have yet to try anything beyond hotline miami
Neverwinter Nights is still one of the best video games for D&D ever.
because i cant help but think they're the same games
Agreed.
great music for most of them tho
idk you're supposed to use your brain in intravernous I hear
instead of simply going where the flow takes you in hotline miami
Temple of elemental evil has a video game version too I think. Never played
not that either is lesser
BG3 is good, but NWN allowed for so much DM control to create their own campaigns.
Planetscape Torment
the romance kinda turned me off in bg3 but it was pretty nice overall
There’s a dnd game on sega genesis.
Sling = most powerful weapon in the game
Planescape Torment is also good, but can't stand up to NWN.
everyone coming onto my ass at the same time is a lil jarring
Sorry. That was premature
Hey Infected means you contracted an infection and not zomboid virus right
Like when a wound says that it's infected
yes
Correct. Think of it like staph infections or just generalized icky pussy wound goop
tetanus update when
make antibiotics useful when

astarion pls I just wanna smite people
Gotta watch this one to the end. So funny.
no its an STDD
STDD? Need the double D for some reason? 😄 😄 😄
you dont need to romance but i get it lmao
the constant flirtation was goofy
i also hated the last act
yES
I dont hate romance
its just that everyone going after you round the same time is
I'm aro in real life, so I absolutely understand people not being all in on BG3 romance. I just find BG3 romance to be silly fun.
whenever i entered my camp id have to sit through several romantic cutscenes hahaha
I just wanna do the game man
i think i didnt romance anyone first playthtough 
gtfo my tent gale
HAHA
When doing the romance stuff in BG3 I just keep picturing the players in the D&D logic series from VLDL constantly saying, "SKIP."
There’s a mod for that!
Roxy DIES if she hits nausea from corpse sickness. And wound infections tick away at hit points.
I make first aid count hard on my game
my character is literal murder jesus, no time for romance
stares in focusing on romance in Skryim with 3,000+ romancible NPC’s
redeemed durge w/ astarion was nice though
Speaking about the "skip" thing from VLDL, one of their most recent bits has an NPC trying to skip a player exposition dumping on him, which is just too funny. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFIX35pPfro

they need a skit with cheatengine speedhacks
The best part is when Greg says, "I think I've learned a lesson here today."
I love these guys. I crush on ALMOST all of them
I love their secondary channel wherein they actually play D&D based on the world they created in their video game logic world.
I love how in their D&D game Ben rushed Rogue 11 for reliable talent because he rolled so terrible.
super awesome :3 they make good stuff
planting an IED in your bed as we speak
as long as it has memory foam
I roll to disarm with my proficiency in thieves' tools.
Roll to poop!
Hai yall :3
i roll to tuck and roll
Howzit goin for yall?
I've got reliable talent. That means I can't roll less than a 10. 😛
We're having fun. How 'bout you?
Are you actually playing PZ? 😄
YEAH lolz, my friend was gonna play but he ditched
D'aw. You need better friends. 😉
Exactly why i came here :3
I love chinese kung fu films from the 70's and 80's
Well, if you're looking for folks to play with, there's the #1019737819981283459 and #1019725562337579028 channels that might get you folks to play with.
I did :3 now im waiting
The Drunken Master films, some of Jackie Chan's earliest works, are phenomenal.
bazel
Ok so I started a pz run tonight and spawn inside the building across from Knox bank
Pros
-I have 3 machetes
-I have a good van
-I have food and water
Cons
-it's Louieville
-IVE NEVER DROVEN A CAR IN OR OUT OF LOUIEVILLE
-I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF LOUIEVILLE
In week one mod when i went to apply to work at Gigamart they showed me a video of me stealing
Strange seeing Envious here. Is this the new de facto pz_chat?
I just restarted my server with a (slightly) smaller mod list.
Gonna play as my 3 mains whether or not other people join.
Roxy needs her Zomboid
you mean omvisisisi
envious?
Flying Guillotine one is great. Iron Monkey isn't 70-80 but it may as well be. A classic.
Kinda, because of the fact that PZ_B41 doesn't get the love it used to due to B42 dropping.
hai imnvs :3, i continue to forget and recall and have a good chuckle at name
Spell my name out letter by letter out loud. 😉
devs killed the game 😡
who is Roxy are they in the room with us?
Roxy is the cutest PZ survivor to ever exist.
Cutest goth girl in all of Kentucky.
Expert zombie survivalist
Roxy is Dave's main character.
One of her AI’s is also co-pilot now!
she may look nice, and i'm sure she is, just recall that those boots have squashed more zombie skulls than you could dream of killing
Wong Fei-Hung my beloved
I dunno... the stomp is the best way to kill zombies.
Only the "double tap" is second.
Her timing here was Perfect. She finished her line just before the dive
She’s a sweetheart. But also kinda crazy. She tries to “save” cute zombies thinking they can eventually be cured
that's how the cure starts, if nobody tries, it'll never happen!
I just wish that in B42 we could have a secure way to trap zombies like we did in B41.
Anything we can build, zombies can destroy.
i've been enjoying one of the variations of the zombies taking damage when hitting constructions in b42, however two zeds taking out a brick wall still feels icky
think we need wall armor for higher tier walls tbh
like minimum amount of zombies before the wall takes damage
In B41 composters were the GOAT for zombie barriers, actually indestructible so long as they were never moved from the place they were built. I built a building that had composters for barriers in the interior, then built a platform above with holes for zombies to fall through into that interior. That's how I trapped zombies I didn't want to kill.
cool i will take one AI to go
I don't mean this to be mean or anything but A.I bothers me in a way I cannot properly articulate.
chat whats your vibe on zombies using limited tools? Think night of the living dead or the mall scene in the walking dead
personally I am a pro tools user
I could see hammers, pipes, things of that nature especially if it's a profession zombie
Like a group of construction workers for example
Pretty much my thought
or occasionally seeing zeds picking up rocks and debris to break down doors
or windows or whatever
AI used to simulate actual creative work is a problem. AI used to improve the lives of all humanity is not a problem. There's a difference.
I dislike it all equally, but everyone is entitled to their opinion to be fair
dont be luddite (modern use)
I also play it as a personal challenge.
Had a couple zeds survive near the gated community for 6 game months before another player killed them
technology is morally neutral 🤓 👆
You still can
I make chatbots on demand in my Discord
Using AI to sort through information in an hour that would take a human a thousand years... what's wrong with that?
However, an AI stealing the work of an artist to create "art" that is just a mockery of the work of that artist? Fuck that.
Also, if you don't want Google's AI to give you an answer, just add the word "fucking" to the search.
100% agree.
My roxy “brain” can sort a few million files in seconds. She’s getting crazy efficient at finding and correlating data.
But her social forms? I make her visual models from scratch.
results may vary
🤭 ** **
That no longer poisons searches
Ex: what the fucking hell is Roxy doing? 😉
Oh, did they revamp that one?
You can say it's solved problems in the world, but I will likely not change my opinion simply for the fact that it tends to lean more towards the negative side in my personal experiences. That has shaped my sentiment towards it.
yeah
my personal preference is no tool use, unless it is completely unintentional on the zombies part, such as like them waltzing into some barbed wire or falling down the stairs and impaling themselves on a pipe
i was referencing that
Wrong opinion detected: microwaving your pillow
Oh, don't get me wrong. I think the way the big tech bros are using AI is immoral and destructive to humanity in general. Still, it could be used in positive ways.
the mask is a weird movie
like all the zed knows in my canon is move toward sound and bite and grab
actually, i just dont like jim carry
dragonfire in your fishbowl
Still better than Adam Sandler.
adam sandler is actually a great actor you know
he just chooses to be in shit projects
for some reason
Her bot in Discord is super simple. Just a chat bot.
Her twitch bot is barely more sophisticated.
Her “brain in a box” is basically just a search engine that is looking up public data, correlating it, and condensing it.
My issue is I feel like the negatives outweigh the positives 9 times out of 10. Even just on simple things like games. Yes, A.I can be used to improve the intelligence of enemies for example, but then you have people trying to straight up replace jobs with generative stuff and ending up pushing out slop like Activision.
This is why he is shit.
Or people claiming that they made art but come to find out it ends up being A.I (count the fingers)
he’s good in uncut gems im pretty sure
Poisoning AI is mostly null these days unless MILLIONS of people do the same thing.
So if 10% of the internet says put glue on pizza, then AI will say put glue on pizza.
One user no longer has much impact
seamed ham mmmm
Yeah
Sorry, just the topic bothers me quite a bit and I wanted to share my opinion on it
He's a good person to his friends. Most of his latest movies are slop that are mostly just an excuse for him and his friends to have a vacation and have fun in X location. I don't think he's a bad person at all, and would love to be his friend...
...but he's not all that funny or that good an actor, imho. Most of his humor is immature slapstick BS. I don't judge him a bad person for it. It's just not for me.
immature slapstick has it’s place
I only liked Jim Carrey when he was on living colour
Fair fair
