I would be so hyped to run into these two in a dungeon.

I suppose the DM has a contingency plan for if someone casts Zone of Truth

There’s always picking up a game at the local tavern!

(This plan has a 64.8% chance not to end poorly)

People want to feel like they’re in a historic setting, but they also want dragons and potatoes. 🤷‍♂️

Potatoes come from the Elemental Plane of Earth.

The mighty DM has spoken!

At one point when people on Twitter were arguing about the historical accuracy of LGBT+ groups in a DnD setting, I made the argument that anyone who includes potatoes in their setting doesn’t care about historical accuracy anyway. This led to a discussion about what would be missing from a medieval setting and the conclusion that a “historically accurate” DnD setting would have gay people, but not potatoes. This became a running joke.

Fast forward a few months, and during a fair there’s a vendor selling “sausages in a bun, topped with mustard sauce or sauerkraut.” The players caught on to them being hotdogs, and it sparked another discussion about what foods were available in a “historically accurate” setting.

(Which, all those ingredients would have been available to the setting, even of they weren’t eaten in that configuration.)

I see that hair curl! A lot of time and care went into that. Very nice!

RaW vs RaI: Heresy Edition

Talisman is my favorite board game! I own all the expansions for the most recent printing.

If anyone wants to try it, just remember its an older game that isn’t meant to be balanced. The feel is more like a fantasy quest with highly random elements, or a party game where fortunes can reverse quickly. There are strategies you can use to win consistently, but the game is more enjoyable if you take it as a story rather than something to be optimized.

(And if that isn’t your thing, that’s ok)
