#suspect DMs

[kettouryuujin]

Look, I get that the Gaza crisis is a real thing and a big deal. But sending me DMs asking for money is not the way to go - you just come off as a potential scammer. There’s way too many red flags from this.

I know your cause may be legitimate, but people could very well be using this to scam money for themselves. It’s scum of the earth behavior, but it exists, so yeah.

When I make a charitable donation of any sort, I’ll do it thru verified channels I can trust, not some random GoFundMe I get sent a link to.

We need to remember that Shubble stated that Wilbur would manipulate and gaslight friends and family. With this, we must be patient with streamers that were close to Wilbur. This was likely surprising and shocking for them. They may need time to come to terms with what has happened.

I have been vocal about how important it is for men to be critical about abusive behaviors. However, Wilbur had many close friends—some would even consider him family—and now they may feel they hardly knew him at all.

There is a deep stress felt by viewers. It is difficult to think we have given any amount of time or money to an abuser. Could you imagine a close friend right now? The pain and betrayal must sear. They need time to understand what has happened and come to terms with it. Many of them may not be live in the coming days (weeks even).

That being said, as time passes, criticism may be necessary. Complacency is not an option. Men that are willing to ignore abuse to protect an abuser are just as pathetic as the abusers themselves.

Let's give this situation time to breathe. I ask that we give patience and courtesy to those close to Wilbur at this time. But please do not forget that this happened. There may be a few streamers hoping to lay low and then drop a collab in a few months. Do not let them. This is too important.

If the DMC trio ever end up playing D&D:

The original clip I made edits over belongs to Arlentric on Youtube.

aro culture is celebrating arizona statehood day on feb 14 lol

So a new proposal was introduced to make New Mexico and Arizona one state. New Mexico was all for it. Arizona, not so much. "There was a great of hesitation because they didn’t want to associate with the Hispanic culture and people of New Mexico. There was fear that this would be a very negative development for the people of Arizona," Southard explained.

consider, instead of celebrating the statehood, celebrating the Hispanic and Navajo people who owned and resided in the land prior to that! also, the murder of Captain James Cook, rest in piss.

aro culture is the decolonization of lands, listening to the indigenous people in your area and supporting them, and also direct action :)

Love comparing and contrasting my two main d&d characters.

Like. Snaps (9 cleric) is a liar. A good liar. She never lies outright; she’s an obfuscator and omitter. She’s a good aligned character who just happens to be very good at gently and politely directing conversations away from uncomfortable subjects. While she hasn’t outright lied about anything harmful, she has revealed next to nothing about her past or culture. After almost four years of the campaign, her party was amazed to learn that she has 16 Charisma.

As a tabaxi, I have tried to instill a cat-like air of mystery to her and it has become a defining trait. I even worked secrecy and stealth into her people’s customs. Snaps needs to feel in control. I think that on some level, she needs to be in control of information and enjoys being the revealer of secret things on her own terms. And she’s about to dip a level into bard and get even better at it.

Then there’s Zephyr (20 druid). While her Charisma is better than average (12), she doesn’t have any charismatic proficiencies and I consistently roll like dog shit every time she tries to use a Charisma-based skill. She couldn’t manipulate someone to save her life. When she has tried to hold information back and was pressed about it, she crumpled like a wet paper bag. Over the course of her campaign, she was wise enough to reach a level of self-awareness and just started taking the path of down-to-earth, frank, no-bullshit honesty.

In situations where subtlety and deception may have been the easier- wiser course, she started by laying out the full truth and then strong-arming her way to victory. Easy to do when you have the power she has as a circle of the moon archdruid.

I just… I just really love my characters and how they have evolved.

I cannot fully convey the wonder and majesty of the DnD session last night. But my betrothed DMed a one shot for us, and our regular DM played a character called Red Star. It was a kidnapping mystery where my betrotheds character got stolen away and we had to find her. As we ruled out suspects I was looking harder and harder at Red Star as Suspect Number One but due to a roll where we both nat 20’d nothing could be solidified. Also wtf I’ve never had contested nat 20’s in a roll off

So Red Star convinces the party to go shake up this local gang who he insists is involved. The gang is utterly unprepared and we start tearing through them. But Red Star takes a hit and his appearance wavers and after a really tense internal debate I was like. “I stab Red Star”

His player looked so incredulous, “You stab Red Star?!” For a second he was so genuinely dismayed that I actually questioned the fact that I’d just stabbed a party member.

But it turned out Red Star was a stalker my character had cut ties with a year ago for getting romantic inclinations even though my character is a sex worker with clear boundaries. He had established a new persona with alter self, kidnapped her actual love interest, and sicced the party on some unsuspecting thugs to try to go on a heroic adventure with her and win her heart.

It was so juicy and convoluted but I keep seeing my friends face wailing, “You stab Red Star?!” And it’s like the Miette meme. You stab Red Star? You stab his body like the villain? Oh! Jail for Orion! Jail for one thousand years!

This is the best thing I've seen all day.

Azalin body snatching Alek Gwilym declared non-canon. Now I can appreciate it as an interesting concept without panicking.

smh finally get a tmj diagnosis this week and this asshole cat has to upstage me getting diagnosed with triaditis

[frenchy-and-the-sea]

BTW, for those following along at home: the rogue in our Curse of Strahd game has apparently reconsidered his situation wrt the group (by means of our DM YET AGAIN sending some very comprehensive messages about the expected tone and playstyle of the game to the player in question) and we have finally taken our first steps outside of Vallaki since arriving!

Wyn was maybe not TRYING to go to that creepy old wizard tower west of the city, but she wasn't NOT trying to go either, so. hopefully she does not regret letting the party wizard's curiosity get the better of him!

My friend's suicidal

What should I do? How can I talk to them about it? If you've ever been there what would it have helped you to hear?

[dungeons-and-dictions]

Dungeon Master Tip:

Describe things equally. It makes it harder to tell what the important plot point is, making it feel more sandbox-y despite having a story.

Also, it’s fun to see your players either pet all the animals or panic at what you’ve said.
