[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword with email in body (61): how i got back my happiness by sarah williams on rpg.SE (@doppelgreener)

Sir Cinnamon

@SmokeDetector " i was helped by a spell caster in bringing back my husband after 3 years of no contact. " ...oh

JohnP

Edited out the contact info and flagged until a mod happens by.

Sir Cinnamon

Speak with dead or.... sending?

JohnP

@SirCinnamon Sending. "Living together again" implies alive, unless necro involved.

GcL

Raise dead

JohnP

7:58 PM

.....and.... poof

@GcL good point.

Or possibly true resurrection.

GcL

If you levitate a corpse... have you also cast raise dead?

Zachiel

@A.B. the systems often make a lot of difference. In D&D the system has a lot of rules for combat and you should expect combat. Also, in any given system you get rewarded for doing certain things and not others.

Sir Cinnamon

If you cremate a corpse, have you razed the dead?

G. Moylan

if you burn a priest, did you arson the parson?

JohnP

@G.Moylan if you burn an arsonist, did you scorch the torch?

( I wanted to add veranda and porch in there, but I figured that might be a bit much)

G. Moylan

8:05 PM

if a lich has an itch, and a beholder grows bolder, then how many tarrasques can wear masks before the sun sets in Waterdeep?

GcL

@SirCinnamon levitated a burning body. Raised the razed dead.

G. Moylan

fear the raised razed dead

JohnP

@G.Moylan That depends. Was the beholder Xanathar?

GcL

@JohnP Isn't Xanathar a title? like the fire marshal?

JohnP

@GcL I thought it was a name, that was then taken by another beholder?

I could be wrong, it's been a long time since I looked at Waterdeep.

GcL

8:18 PM

I dunno. I thought someone told me that in this chat a while ago

JohnP

@GcL Looks like it is both an original person? and a title if a beholder can be a person...

GcL

Just like the Dread Pirate Roberts

JohnP

@GcL Eye.

Hah! See what I did there? I slay myself... :p

G. Moylan

The Xanathar is one beholder but it hasn't always been the same beholder

need more aboleths

uhh...: rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/149014/…

JohnP

8:41 PM

@G.Moylan Not always the same, no, but there was an original : forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Xanathar_(original)

Best (worst?) character idea evah - A bard that uses puns as their mainstay, and raps. Name? RaPunzel

Helwar

Is there someone of the chatizen's tomb of annihilation game online now?

JohnP

@G.Moylan - I think you mean "hard to find cheap", you can get them almost any day on fleabay.

G. Moylan

9:00 PM

true. that would be more accurate

like those Witcher Gwent cards

they're out there you can definitely find them. but cheap? no

JohnP

@G.Moylan zomg...I didn't know those were a thing! I love gwent! I spent a ton of time trying to collect every deck in WIII.

Rubiksmoose

@JohnP I actually got the complete set from them when they were released :) Got them on my shelf at home, but haven't found a time to use them yet.

JohnP

nice!

G. Moylan

@Rubiksmoose I'm jealous. They look so cool

Rubiksmoose

@JohnP And...now I have Gwent music stuck in my head lol

G. Moylan

9:07 PM

although the game sounds mechanically underwhelming. IIRC there's definitely a "correct" way to play your cards

3DA, that is

Rubiksmoose

@G.Moylan Yeah the game doesn't have an amazing amount of complexity to it at the level it was released in the card game. From what I understand the digital standalone game is much more advanced.

G. Moylan

oh gwent?

yeah I played it for a bit it's very involved

I thought you were talking about 3DA

as far as digital cards games go, Gwent is one of the easiest to get into, in terms of how quickly you can earn freebies

I've played MtG arena, Eternal, Hearthstone, and Gwent. and though I cut my chops on MtG several years ago, I think Gwent is the most fun and $$-friendly out of all of them

Rubiksmoose

oh sorry yeah, I mean Gwent cards not 3dA.

G. Moylan

I'm trying so hard to go over this last pull request for the day and I'm just so over it

JohnP

9:22 PM

@Rubiksmoose I'm going to randomly scream GWENT!!! at you from now on for that very reason :p

V2Blast

JohnP

I missed your stepdown, everything ok?

user15026

@JohnP Yep, just suuuuuper busy with IRL stuff so something had to give

JohnP

@Ash Cool cool. I know how that can go, just glad it was something simple. :)

user15026

9:28 PM

My life basically exploded with interesting things in meatspace :P

JohnP

@Ash Mine did too, but luckily the wife can stay home with the kids :) :)

V2Blast

@G.Moylan why have you done this

G. Moylan

I freely admit it was retaliatory

JohnP

hey there @JohnP and @Helwar

Helwar

Shalvenay

how're things going?

Helwar

Good! I've been doing art, it turned weirdly wrong!

Shalvenay

@Helwar heheh, how so?

Helwar

I tried to copy matt mercer. Nothing good can come out of that ^^

I did some potions, with little cutsy bottles and resin

half of them turned out ok, in the others the resin detached itself of the bottle and it makes some weird bubbles

Shalvenay

10:47 PM

Helwar

also foggied all the bottle while cooling down, so there is a thin layer of resin around the inside of the bottle

thats what makes it look foggy...

i've been trying to melt it away with an acid a friend lent me

I might salvage this yet

Shalvenay

hey there @nitsua60

nitsua60

Shalvenay

11:02 PM

JohnP

11:34 PM

So today I found out that imperial dating in Japan goes by the reign of an emperor. Then I thought wait, Japan has a new emperor??

Shalvenay

@JohnP run on calendars in Japan!

V2Blast

First session of CoS with the new DM got cut short... there was an accident at his wife's work so he had to go pick her up

Rubiksmoose

11:55 PM

@nitsua60 how is it?! I've been wanting to watch it since it relates to my previous work and I find it interesting.

@V2Blast I swear your D&D group is cursed

Hot RPG Questions

Q: Does any lore text explain why the planes of Acheron, Gehenna, and Carceri are the alignment they are?

Acheron is between pure law and lawful evil; Gehenna is between pure evil and lawful evil; and Carceri is between pure evil and chaotic evil. But this seems wrong to me. It seems to me that Acheron should be where Gehenna is, Gehenna should be where Carceri is, and Carceri should be where Achero...
