While I think later editions of D&D have carved out a justified niche for the Thief/Rogue as an archetype, as a class it still feels weird in the context of the original game. Many people, myself included, have articulated this before, but the sort of funny implication is that a class whose abilities include moving silently, picking locks, and hiding in the shadows suddenly carves out a big piece of the fictional space and says "so none of the other classes can do these things."

But I feel there is another way to look at it: instead of looking at it like "oh, the thief class locks out the other classes from having access to certain tools," it can be viewed from the angle of "the thief class creates a bunch of new obstacles, and then hoards all the tools for overcoming those obstacles onto itself."

Locked doors are the best example here: the original edition of the game in those three little brown books was, at the end of the day, a complete game. A party didn't need a thief to pick locks, because doors were not generally locked; they were stuck, and needed to be forced open with strength (and then spiked open to prevent them from swinging shut behind the party). The only mention of locked doors is within the context of the knock spell which. Yeah that's actually a fair cop, the knock spell is also a solution looking for a problem, because the existence of a spell that opens doors locked via magic necessitates the existence of doors locked via magic. But the spell opens other things, including (probably) those aforementioned stuck doors, so at the very least it has multiple use cases.

But yeah that's the thing: the original game didn't have mundane locked doors and thus it didn't require a party to have a character with a set of mundane lockpicks. What the Greyhawk supplement created was a situation where there now was a guy with a set of lockpicks who could use them to open locked doors some of the time. So now the dungeon needed to have locked doors.

PSA

This is The Adjuster (Robin Hoodie, Guy That Shot the CEO, etc.):

And this is Luigi Mangione:

And yes, they are both super cool and hot as fuck but remember, they are two different people. The Adjuster has not been found and Luigi was never involved in the shooting.

Do not talk about them as if they are the same person and do not further spread the idea that Luigi is guilty.

not a dream

I haven't been posting much recently

It's not because I don't love you or don't care

Never think that

I love and care about all of you and you matter to me

But I've been struggling physically, mentally and financially

and to solve the first two problems, the third one I had to try and solve by working even more and even harder

but then exhaustion got to me and I got even worse and even more ill

I had like 23 working days in a row and it still wasn't enough

but I am trying to find some light at the end of the tunnel mentally and emotionally

spend all my free times in the nature with Ragnar or sleeping

bedrotting a little but at least I don't have to think about anything if I sleep

so things have been bad

But I'm not ready to give up

and I hope you aren't ready to give up on yourself either

love you miss you take care kisses

Not a dream

Does anyone remember or knows of this slang of kids born in the early to mid 90s?

Like, ‘I love you 4ever’, but also you could say it as ‘5ever’ and I even knew folks who used ‘9ever’ (me) to make it sound even stronger 😩

I was a limbless body floating in the vacuum of space for what felt like years. All of a sudden, a rotting corpse with a black cat’s head called to me by the name Phobos.

It spoke to me in a language I didn’t understand, but I agreed to whatever it said.

I was then sealed within a planet and spent hundreds of years experiencing life through the eyes and ears of the inhabitants (namely one girl who I later found out looks suspiciously like Aphrodite) of this planet.

Years pass and a black shadow begins to envelop the whole planet, exposing me at the very center. It looked at me with sockets where eyes should be, and warned me that I’ll end up back where I started.

my gf said something sooo insane about helly the other day and i cannot stop thinking about it. she was like. helena and helly’s relationship is almost maternal. the way helena created helly as an extension of herself, to serve her interests, to try and impress her own family. she scolds helly, talks down to her like a child. “i understand you’re unhappy with the life you’ve been given” “i am a person, you are not”. the way she envies and resents helly’s freedom. the way she feels entitled to helly’s life and is now living vicariously through her in the most literal sense. what if you created life and now they’re experiencing the things you’ve always wanted for yourself. what if you created life and they were flawed and loud and demanding and they were loved more than you’ve ever been. and you hated them for it. the mother/daughterisms are insane my girlfriend is insane

really, the baudelaire kids are just three different types of little kid fantasy

violet is the fantasy of being craftier and more creative than the adults around you

klaus is the fantasy of being smarter and knowing more than the adults around you

and, of course, sunny is the fantasy of being able to Just Bite People

reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE
