huh, must have misread the price-listing and thought print on demand was the digital price. Yeah definitely just get the B/X rules.
And I would guess the 5e person based it on Marcille's available spells and spell power and its equivalent in 5e. But aside from just the base Idea of race as class from B/X as justification for it being more like those rules in terms of the structure of its world: Chillichuk uses a bow, and specifies that being a half-foot makes him naturally better at it, Senshi is a vaguely competent fighter who's most useful trait is navigation, trap detection, and general comfort underground and in the dungeon, and even through Marcille is all in on using magic, they explicityl call out falin as the group's "Magic User" (literally namedropping the class name), with marcille just being "an elf". Though, it's got a bit of OD&D nonsense going on with some NPCs clearly being of race/class combos, but none of the main cast (including like, Kabru's party) who would represent "player characters" have anything like that. lots of "There are Dwarf Clerics, but only NPCs" happening.
"it's a DM issue" is a very silly defence of the limitations of D&D when it comes to genre, not only because it puts a lot of extra pressure on the DM to bend the game into a format that the players will find more acceptable (with little consideration made as to whether the experience provided by the game as written might actually have merit), but also because "choosing to run a conventional heroic fantasy narrative in the dungeon crawler engine" is also very much a DM issue
#D&D#D&D 5e#OSR#B/X D&D#RPG#I personally actually use OSE#since I love how cleanly it's organized#and I like having a physical books#and didn't want to go through print on demand#or buying used books#But I would definitely suggest in general that people use the cheaper option#If you like what Necrotic Gnome are doing in RPGs in general#you could always buy one of their adventures#I hear they're pretty good#and compatible with like#dozens of systems#since OSR games are usually so similar to each other

Thinking abt how sad it is that regular Orthworm are too small to ride but realizing . There could very well be ye old giant Orthworms in Hisui . what if
#hoof draws#submas#<--literally thinking abt orthworm and pla era ingo .#someone from overseas visits the village and happens to have an orthworm on them#ingo immediately goes ham about it#if there was some sort of old orthworm variant in hisui he'd absolutely catch as many as he could#.digs out a giant rudimentary subway tunnel system and rides orthworms around them#invents the subway (again)#comes back to unova with a dozen little orthworm larvae in his coat

things in the caverns under the city of Dundee:
dwarves
laser horses
ruins left by the starlords of eternity
sword lord of the goblin horde
zargothrax's hibernating clone legion
ancient closed gateway to the 18th hell dimension
a crack in spacetime
ralathor
#what next? are the starlords gonna put 38b angus II under there?#i stg if we find out the cave Angus II finds Tooley in in He Has Returned is in the dundee caverns#this situation reminds me of being on a creative mincraft server functioning off of a plot system#where theres these rp maps. and if they get heavy use then they get build updates#but if they're on a small plot? theres nowhere for the updates to go!#so the cave systems under the plot get very. very. busy.#one place i used to frequent had underground 1. giant library labyrinth#2. swimming pool#3. the nether#4. at least a dozen different tiny secret bases built by people who obtained build perms#5. spa resort for kaiju#6. evil murder basement#shitpost#gloryhammer

I need (White) Europeans to let go of the colonizer mentality and superiority complex.
This Anon said "in the end, here you are, in France"
Forgetting that in the post they're talking about I mentionned that me and my family have lived in SEVERAL African countries before moving to France.
All countries in the world experience immigration (maybe 2 or 3 expections), but it's mostly Western Countries that make a big deal out of it...and make it sound like the whole world wants to go there...
Did you know there was a huge Indian diaspora in Kenya? In Mauritius? In South Africa? In Tanzania and in Uganda as well.
No, you don't, because you guys live in such Eurocentric and Western centric countries, you don't realize that they are entire populations countries that don't even think about you when they're chosing countries to migrate to.
Anon says that a lot of people from Africa come to France, but it's "hardly the other way around".
They didn't even look it up, they just had a gut feeling due to their colonizer mentality.
Because if they had looked it up, they would have found out that over 200 000 French people live in African countries, moreover it represents 14% of all the French population abroad.
And there are only the numbers of people who have officially registered in a French embassy.
I'm sorry it's in French, but you can figure out the country names.
Why would Anon lie so confidently about it hardly going the other way around...?
#I put the White in brackets people some non White Europeans have that superiority complex sometimes...#because of the European education system#I could write dozens of posts about this because the things this anon says make my blood hot#anon asks

"likes don't do anything" they do
"there's no algorithm" there is
"well nobody uses the for you tab" I do
"reblog all art and fics you see" there's no thought put into that. if this does work on people, then it's just pity engagement borne out of guilt rather than genuine interest, which is arguably worse than having none, because it's totally hollow.
#if I make art of my ocs who I'm personally fond of and spent a few days drawing just right and it gets 3 reblogs then it gets 3 reblogs#it's rational to feel a little disappointed sure. but I can't do anything about that. it's just luck#and I got Very lucky accumulating a few thousand followers on my main-turned-art-only blog off the back of when m.oomin was very popular#(tho realistically many of those users are probably inactive/passive followers now)#and having this number of people tuned into my posts Still only gets me a couple dozen notes on original stuff.#every 3 years or so something might blow up. like that bugs bunny comic lol. and I did Not expect it to#especially bc it happened about a year after I shared it as well.#it can happen any time. so don't feel discouraged when your art doesn't get noticed right away#the one advantage this website has is that there's far less of a fomo culture compared to other socials where trends come and go in a week#and people will still interact with older posts. especially bc it's easier to find what you want through the tagging system. sort of.#there's really no way to predict this or aim for large engagement! oh unless you're specifically catering to the current hot topic#like d.unmeshi is wiiiildly popular right now. I've seen comics get 5-digit notes in under 48 hours 'cause more eyes are on it.#but if it's not something you personally like and you're only creating things for the attention then you're gonna be unhappy#and people will inevitably move on.#I'd much rather swing my art back around every few months or so until it finds someone it resonates with#than make people who were never planning to engage with it feel bad for no reason

it should be said that some of you are way too dorky about laika
#emergency broadcast system#like okay name another animal that went to space. just one. an american one maybe? no? just soviets bad dog killers?#you say id rather have a very pampered dog that doesnt know whats happening before during or after to die in space than a human who does#and everyone loses their minds on dork.com (tumblrs true domain title)#i am fine with people who acknowledge that she was very well cared for and loved. and i like her being a symbol of space exploration#because its a very important study that we needed live subjects to continue. and if she is emblematic of that i hold no ill regard#however when people are like wahh scientists killed laika baby dog poor pupper whateverrr#name another dog. a monkey maybe. other animals went to space and died. and had names. and caretakers. and many lived too#name a living non human animal that went to space. theres dozens. a cat even. whats her name. what about the tortoises. many hatched eggs.#like oh my god theres so much interesting stuff. also name a human thats not the first man in space nor the first two men on the moon.#actually just name the other guy that was there with neil armstrong and buzz aldrin. if you cant pass this bare minimum you cant-#-web weave all day about laika. especially as an american

this is how i imagine one of Mikoto's alters fronting for the first time around people (classmates, coworkers, whoever) playing out
#rambles#Milgram#Mikoto#(except itd stop at ''boku'')#tbh if we're trying to be ~realistic~ here. their system would prob be more than just Mikoto Orekoto and Greenkoto (idk what ppl call him)#like i aint never met another system that only consisted of 3 alters (who hadnt purposefully been working towards fusion)#that would be a lot to have to write and sort out though so i dont blame yamanaka and deco at all for keeping it at 3. hey better than 2!#(assuming trikoto theory is correct)#so this ''post'' is not about any of the 3. but the secret fourth/fifth/sixth/etc alter#idk i just think pronoun misuses would be funny in this context#alter trying to imitate Mikoto as best as they can then BAM ''watashi''/''ore''/''[insert any of the dozen pronouns]''#do you see my vision

i have what i feel like is a lot of animals. and i feel guilty whenever i get another one. but my bare minimum for them is above standard care, i keep savings specifically for them in case of emergencies, and in general i look after them better than myself. why do i still feel guilty,,
#txt#mightve gotten another little creature as a 'birthday gift' to myself (in quotes bc i don't believe in giving animals as bday gifts)#i got her 3 days ago rly. had been planning/researching for weeks.. meant to get one months later but i fell in love w her#best possible time for it tbh. unemployed but with savings to care for my animals. i can give her the attention she needs all day every day#and the second i get hired at a new job i'm getting her a same-species friend bc she needs that <3#also. i guess it helps to remind myself there are ppl out there w/ like. dozens of snakes in rack systems etc... i think i'm alright

Thinking about ART effortlessly killing the final hijacker while it reboots like a glorious, wrathful phoenix during NE: bashfully covering my face with my hands, blushing, giggling, kicking my feet
#murderbot#hoping and praying ART gets to go apeshit at least once in System Collapse#as self care#I wanna see a few of those dozens of killing methods MB worked out#I think that would be neat

being a system can be really fucking hard and it comes with a lot of challenges and struggles but man?? I fucking love my headmates. I don't know what I'd do without them and my life is better because they are in it.
#like. OSDD and DID are survival mechanisms yeah?#now that I'm living and not surviving its less of a survival mechanism and more of an. annoying friends and flatmates mechanism#obviously there are arguments and tensions. we're two dozen people sharing a vessel there is no way there wouldn't be#but MAN I would miss othello nights with sunny so much#and I would miss phoebe's stupid fantastic jokes#moon's level headedness and care#jasper's common sense....#francis's giggles and our shared interests and likes#the fact that they know exactly what I'm thinking so miscommunication is super rare#the fact that I know they won't judge me for anything because they all know everything about me anyway#fucking sucks that I had to be bullied for 5 years straight in order to obtain some of my best friends but like . ?#its better than being bullied for 5 years straight and Not having a coping mechanism this strong to help me through it#being a system isn't a consequence for trauma to me. its a consolation and a helping hand (or twenty-something helping hands JKFDSHDJSAKHSD#system#osdd#DID#plural#plurality#system positivity#NON-SYSTEMS PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT EVERY SYSTEMS EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!#many systems are still not in a good place and being a system can be very hard for them#I'm very lucky to be where I am now#just. keep your system friends in mind. look out for them. lift them up. thank you

fun fact all those people who talk about how type 4 hair and dealing with it sucks are right but in a nuanced way where it’s actually systemic racism’s fault and not anything about our hair itself making it uniquely shitty
#the adas speak#we’re not taught anything about our hair. not only that but we’re taught everything about our hair is bad#it’s messy and unprofessional and ghetto. especially with the milennial generation who were raised on relaxers and perms#they were taught from so young to be ashamed of their hair. we were taught that our hair is unmanagable#and never given the chance to learn. it wasn’t all of us but a fuck ton of us in the US just. don’t know shit#and like. when the only people we know who can do hair are braiders we pay#i don’t think that’s really the kind of relationship where you can ask them to teach you. there is usually a relationship there#but idk if it’s ‘we’re friends over clients. let me lose business for you’ close ykwim. at least not all the time#so you’re learning on youtube. hating it bc it doesn’t make sense#you’re grown. you should know how to do your hair by now. but you don’t.#you’ve got like. all the racism and antiblackness building up. and it feels like they’re right. but they’re not! no one taught you!#but you can’t learn! you don’t know who to ask. and it’s a cycle of trying and getting frustrated and giving up and feeling guilty#and presumably if you’re tenacious enough you figure it out eventually but until then it’s just all these negative feelings that build up#like. our hair is arguably some of the easiest to deal with when our ancestors came up with so many ways to style it#the fact that i can spend a few hours in a salon and barely touch my hair for 2+ months is actually the epitome of convenience#and that’s also true of natural hair. maybe like a month instead but who else can go without touching their hair for a fucking month#but we are/were told that it’s so unmanagable and difficult when if we’d ever been properly taught it would be a fucking cakewalk#now. on one hand i’m being dramatic and emotional bc the dozens of tutorials i watched weren’t detailed enough for my incompetent ass#but on the other hand i’m literally right and this is systemic racism in action#i mean tbh i probably wouldn’t have done my hair regardless bc i didn’t care about my appearance and also was getting child abused#but i’d have a fuck ton more people to teach me in person if not for racism now wouldn’t I? my point still stands

i don’t really blame anyone putting this kind of post on my dash because it IS harrowing to observe but i think some people need to understand that tumblr isn’t moderated by an unknown They who personally restrict and ban every individual blog that gets deactivated.
there are (poorly-tuned, probably badly optimized, and almost definitely poisoned by false abuse reports) automated systems that flag suspicious activity as potential spam. it’s impossible to manually moderate a site that gets as much traffic as tumblr.
and unfortunately, tumblr as a website has been infested for years now with false donation scams & similar spambots sending repeated asks and dms from brand new blogs, usually in batches all with similar wording.
you see where i’m going with this???
please be cautious with your conspiracy theories.
#there has Absolutely been some foul play at the management level#but i keep seeing a post about how tumblr is Personally banning blogs seeking donations#and that is not what’s happening.#i assume what’s happening is that a sudden influx of blogs making minimal posts + sending dozens of asks/dms#especially with links to outside websites. are getting 1. caught by automated systems#2. reported by people who are used to getting deluged by spam bots asking for money#it sucks that this is happening but it’s not a conspiracy that someone specific should be punished for
