Clicking the link hypothetically confirms to the spammer that yours is a valid and monitored email address, and that you’re a sucker suitable for more targeted phishing.

Of course, it seems like every random user will also happily type their password into any text box that asks for it, too.

One time I failed a phishing test because I did a message trace and confirmed that it originated from our own internal servers.

Not necessarily!

Much more so. Because the people that aren’t shitlords wind up finding and staying in a stable group, while the people who can’t maintain human relationships get perpetually booted back into the rando pool, so it becomes more and more concentrated awfulness all the time.

I started a campaign where, after 20 years of gaming with this group, we were finally going to have a dragon for a big bad. Then my entire country collapsed irl, destroying the game. It’s like the universe abhors actually having dragons in your D&D game.

I still play D&D…3.5.

Polyamory. Polygamy means multiple marriage and is illegal. Also commonly associated with culty non-consensual stuff instead of consenting adults

Herd them ahead of you to clear traps

Nuthin, furloughed.

Dan Savage at least has repeatedly apologized and cut that shit out a long time ago.

Inventory management. Can’t secure what you can’t see etc

protip: don’t cross them off, write who they are on the list (eg “Rivermeadow blacksmith”) so you can remember when the players come back to them a million sessions later

Found the bard

After awhile, Poseiden comes and kicks your ass until you stop. Live by the magic sword, die by the magic sword.

I like the mental image of a dwarf ship that’s 6 ft tall and got 47 masts to make up for it.

Imagine the emotional and physical damage of taking your first shit in thousands of years.

No one actually plays dnd like that though…

Given what Mountain Dew has done to me, that tracks.

Jokes on you, we play every rpg!

Bards aren’t just “a talented musician” they literally use magic. They’re basically wizards that went the liberal arts path in college.
