In the Birthright RPG, the Magicians can do both, so that's better.

I don't see it very often but I think one of my favorite tropes is the magical ultrasound... ya know, where some wizard can peep into a woman's uterus with magic and feel the "spark of life" or "essence of a child" or whatever. usually paired with an explicitly misogynistic world where women are doomed to still die in childbirth... so you can tell a child's sex when they're still a blastocyst but you can't save a woman from (usually very unrealistically) dying in childbirth? lmfao

personally, I find it's usually much easier to just distract them from what's stressing them out, by telling a joke or something. far more effective.

Look, I'm on the spectrum myself, so I totally get the impulse to try and logic things out, but if I see one more post that's like "neurotypical people are crazy because explaining to them why their emotional reactions are irrational doesn't cause them to stop experiencing those emotions" – buddy, that doesn't work on anybody. I'm willing to bet real money it doesn't even work on you. The problem you are experiencing is that you have chosen a deescalation strategy with a zero percent success rate.

pyramid conspiracies are so funny cause like yeah theyre extremely impressive feats of engineering but its not like. crazy unbelievable. i think even as a kid if you asked me how i thought the pyramids were built id be like "i think they probably cut rocks into rectangles and stacked them. it probably took a very long time." aliens or power plants would not remotely be on my list of options yknow.

This gives off some serious Hastur Mythos vibes. Like something out of Delta Green's Impossible Landscapes.

Concept: stage musical whose lead character can't seem to hear the music and is visibly baffled at the fact that everyone else is dancing – initially as comedy bit, but over the course of the production it gradually becomes apparent that we're looking at a formerly realistic setting which has suddenly begun to operate according to stage musical rules, and we watch as the lead is ostracised from their peers and driven to madness by the fact that they're seemingly the only one who's noticed that anything has changed.

As a prolifer myself, I would just like to really congratulate all the pro-lifers here who ignorantly stuck their heads in the sand about Trump, conservativism, the Republican party, and the Big Beautiful Bill.

See, a non-insured hospital birth can cost about $13,000 in the US. Thirteen thousand. Wanna know which communities medicaid primarily serves? That's right, poor people, especially poor women of color. And now those women are going to have to prove, every single month, that they meet eligibility requirements. Have you ever filed paperwork wrongly, or submitted something late, or mischecked a box? I bet you have. Because mistakes are human. And the Big Beautiful bill is counting on people making those mistakes to pay for its tax cuts.

Now imagine you're facing an unplanned pregnancy. And you just lost your health insurance because of paperwork issues, because you've got three kids already and work two jobs and you just didn't get it in on time, or you made a mistake on the paperwork.

Imagine you're facing the choice between a $13,000 uninsured labor and delivery bill, and a $200 abortion.

Great work, everyone. Planned Parenthood finally got defunded—just in time for medical poverty to drive a whole new wave of desperate women directly through their doors.

Catholics trying to flirt: So how would you raise your kids?

I've wanted to run a Dragonstar campaign since my freshman year of college. It's like a patchwork campaign setting that all other 3rd edition D&D campaign settings exist within, and so by it's very nature it brings up questions like "how would the people of THIS world react to an invasion from another world" or "what forms of magic would even be able to function on other worlds". You would have worlds that would fold like wet cardboard before the technological might of the Dragon Empire, worlds that would be able to fight back, worlds that would be avoided like the plague for just being terrible places to occupy, and worlds that would seem to fold easily at first but then turn into Space Vietnam because of how their magic works.

I want to run a campaign that starts with the characters infiltrating a Dragon Empire ship as members of one faction, only for the ship to be attacked by ANOTHER faction opposed to the Dragon Empire, and have a massive three-way battle break out on board.
