@trogdor (re: "The Big Bang Theory", reply function doesn't work the way I've got my browser set up) I didn't like it much at first, only watched it because I was really bored. It kind of works better once you've got to know the characters over a few episodes and realise what's really going on.
I was just making a Roommate Agreement joke.
Unrelated to that, that "contract" and similar discussions about TTRPGs across cultures/genotypes/people make me think of "Star Trek".
I meant, this must be what it feels like entertaining a bunch of aliens.
You do not have the luxury of assuming that everyone will be interested, impressed or upset by the same things that you are. You have to play it by numbers.
That Twitter thread, for instance, a lot of neurotypicals would think that that's unnecessary and over the top, because they're used to most of the people they play with more or less matching them. (Unless they are themselves used to playing alongside Aspies, or foreigners, or just people who wandered in from an entirely different type of game and weren't expecting it to be like that).
Whereas a lot of people on the autistic spectrum saw the point immediately since, being as we're relatively rare, we are used to usually being in a group where we don't match and have to keep spelling out to people what suits us if it's not the same as them, and asking them to spell out what they're after since we can't rely on it being the same as us.
I literally just meant they have a similar number of syllables and both end in a similar sounding way
contract has a T at the end but still sounds like a hard C/K sound a bit
XD
@A.B. to be fair even being used to playing with someone on the spectrum wouldn't necessarily prepare you for playing with a completely different person on the spectrum either
That's true. Really, really variable, even in autistic symptoms, never mind in general personality besides the autism. But it at least puts forward the general idea that not everyone works even roughly the same.
Spear are wildly effective weapons, in small-ish Combat Groups.
In particular, when used defensively, they can keep melee attackers at bay with no ability to retaliate relatively easily. You would, for example, be able to hold a 5ft-wide bridge against a mass of opponents pretty easily if they we...
I basically only know what the PHB says, but if your DM is OK with that I think the rules should be! Better question, maybe, with regard to whether I'm overlooking something or not: why did you think they might not be?
My group just started a new chronicle and we're trying to figure out how to say "chasse" out loud.
Chasse
This Trait describes how well stocked,
vulnerable, and rich the
domain is as a hunting ground. One
dot in Chasse provides the coterie

@HotRPGQuestions Hot answers, yet none of them actually transcribes how it's pronounced, instead providing the answers only in the links and accompanying them with ambiguous rhyming/near-homophone-like hints.
I have looked for any rules on this and cannot find any, and before you say "It doesn't matter flavour however you like", I have a specific example.
In the alchemist subclass for the artificer class the 5th level feature Alchemical Savant reads:
Whenever you cast a spell using your alchemist’s s...
For my group of (un)willing adventurers, I have a session coming up where the plan is essentially to render them all unconscious, separate them from all their gear and leave them in a dungeon to escape (think, diabolical James Bond style plot).
The only problem I can foresee with this is that one...
