There’s also online fantasy name generators. Which basically just do that, but you don’t need to bother with tables.

I like this version better, though I admit it’s less relevant to the meme.
What annoys me is when they don’t have weapons have distinct special abilities, but they do have different damage dice. You end up with a situation where some weapons are just better than others, and if you think a greataxe fits your character better than a greatsword, you have to choose between dealing less damage, having a weapon that doesn’t fit your character, or houseruling that weapons that don’t have other differences deal the same damage and ignoring all those stats.
Depends on the magic. Fireball was used in the seventh through fourteenth centuries, so that’s not anachronistic. But if you want to do elemental transmutation, that wasn’t discovered until 1896. You could have it in steampunk.
And how do you get people to collaborate? People have tried making governments based on the idea of everyone working together for the common good. It never ends well.
Ownership in general isn’t some fundamental inalienable right. It’s just that if you let people own things, you give them more incentive to make things. I think intellectual property rights are far too extensive, but if we didn’t have them at all, how would we pay for R&D? How would we pay for big budget games and movies? Maybe you’re happy contributing to openly licensed projects, but a lot of people have to pay for rent and raise a family, and can’t take the time to contribute to things like that even if they want to unless they have the money to support themselves.
That’s still way more imaginative than anything I can do.
Legally, they can’t keep you from publishing 5e content. You can even publish the 5e rules in their entirety so long as you change all the wording and pictures. I think they can keep you from publishing stuff involving their settings and characters, but you can still use their system.
D&D has hell. It used to be that the fastest-reproducing races were also evil, sending more and more people to hell.
Looking it up, the creators were Christian, so maybe they thought real life was even worse, but D&D was always intended as a crapsack world. If you want to play one that isn’t, great. Just be prepared to rewrite some major lore.
Sure it does. All they have to do is fire the CEO and they’ll have so much more money.
And it does 1d4+strength damage, regardless of how big it is.
Is it ethical to give tools to a country you don’t trust to use them responsibly?
If someone is executed for murder, then you definitely shouldn’t hire them. But if they served their punishment, letting them out of jail and then not letting them earn the money the need to survive is a recipe for disaster.
I feel like having no way to legally get food or shelter would make it more likely they’d commit crime again, not less.
Isn’t that how they got on and off the moon?
If you the download size is in the gigabytes and need a good graphics card to run it, you’re doing it locally. Otherwise, it’s remote.
Whether or not the US is oppressive is a matter of debate I don’t want to get into, but they definitely spy on their own people. And I imagine they’re a lot more likely to act on information about someone living in the US than China is.
There is some optimal amount of thermostat vs fan speed. Whether you’re better with a lower thermostat and higher fan speed or vice versa depends on which side of this optimum you’re on. We as random internet strangers have no way to find this.
Terror Island writing tip: Specify that characters have names. This makes them more relatable. (That’s the title text for that comic.)
I’m imagining something like:
