Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

The odds of a good-aligned church surviving in Ravenloft for any length of time without exterior support are asymptotic zero so, again, your players are hardly being unreasonable in entirely blocking out the mental possibility that you created a good-aligned church for them to find. Because...
Dude, the vanilla Ravenloft rules literally make outer planar connections impossible except for the fiend shit. If you want your players to know you're houseruling, you have to tell them.
This would be far more convincing if I couldn't think of at least two evil gods of arcane magic who were still opposed to Bane without even leaving the Faerunian pantheon.
Look, the life expectancy of an actual good aligned church in Ravenloft makes the proverbial snowball in a blast furnace...
It's honestly only adequate mechanically, and 2nd edition Aberrant is far worse. But for all its clunkiness the 1e setting was both original and had a lot of potential, even if it also had some noteable derp. (Our campaign had heavily Rule Zero'ed certain parts of the canon metaplot.)
While going through some old gamelogs I ran into a fun bit from an Aberrant game I was in, and I want to share it.
Basically, our nova characters were in a campaign where we started out notably above starting level as the DM wanted movers and shakers. So we were the senior people in a global...
Hrm, that's a possibility.
Anybody know any easily obtainable superintelligence sources that aren't NZT? Because in addition to all the physical side effects there's also that you seem to have all the common sense deficiencies of somebody flying higher than high on cocaine while you're on that...
Hrm. Having trained up to a low or medium-level d20 monk so I can at least hope to go somewhere else without dying on the spawn point to a random low-level hazard, the question then becomes 'how do I get uncapped growth, stat boosts, magic, and all the other cheat isekai protag stuff?' Because...
Especially since Irori's whole approach is 'pursue your own path to perfection, whether that be good, evil, or you do you. the point is how you grow, not how you serve'. So I'm not exactly committing to anything restrictive.
Assuming that I can pick the exact time and place of my arrival in the multiverse... and then leave the place I arrive in... hmmm.
Well, okay, the first question is exactly what is the definition of "fictional world"? Because if it's only fiction published by other people then that's one...
Neither of those work for me. I hit the share button on a link in my snippets thread, then use that link copied to update one of my index page links, and shit don't happen.
The post in question with all the broken links...
It's still proving impossible to insert a link to a post elsewhere in the same thread. Which kinda sucks for those of us who like to make index posts of their fiction, among other things.
Youtube is full of them. This is one.

Also, ask questions in mapchat. People are usually cooperative in GW2.
Maybe. I was posting here out of respect for the 'keep non-NSFW stories off of NSFW' thing... but apparently SFW is dead, so fuck it.
Granted, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the only reason I was getting little traffic. Someone on SB quite cogently pointed out that most Shadowrun readers come...
