Wait, beer rots? Gonna look into this real quick. Sounds like something beer shouldn’t do

Edit: Turns out ale was nearly nonalcoholic back then and was viewed the way protein shakes are now

@malin @rpg

Also, totally makes sense they would call them gold and silver if they inherited the roman Librae, Solidi, Denarii currency system

@malin @rpg

I mean, usually my #dnd players strongly dislike tracking encumbrance, so the coins might as well be weightless.

Something I think people tend to forget about is the practice of “free lunch”. Sit yourself down at the bar, order a drink, and you get access to a whole lunch menu as long as you keep drinking. It particularly makes sense if a pint of beer &/or a single lunch actually costs slightly less than a cp, so two beers would cover the cost.

@malin @rpg

But it’s coins made of solid gold/silver/copper that players find in dungeons, bring back to town, and immediately spend. People bring their irl money intuition to the table when they need to pull prices out of their ass which results in tavern food costing, like, 10 gold coins per plate. Realistically, given the prices of the materials in the specie coins, I think players paying for stuff in gp should be treated like some rich fuck paying for fast food with Benjamins.

I think I am going to steal that rule for my campaign

@Jezebelley
Why would I do that? I can’t leave comments on Lemmy posts and Peertube videos from there!

I think people just are fed up with Twitter and are looking for the most twitter-like thing they can find. Mastodon is, frankly, nothing like Twitter. The vibes are too different.

“And no, I don’t know why he costs $300.”

“Also, he only exists for one of two reasons. Either he is going to have drugs tested on him in a lab (no fur means easy access to the skin) or a breeder was using him to store the genes of a recessive coloration pattern they like. If you still want one, get a heating pad for him to to stand on and some blankets for him to tunnel under, and hope he doesn’t pee on the heating pads too much.”

Nah, makes sense to me

@Ziggurat
Oh let me tell you about the D&D campaign I’m in. The first six months were nuts: We got hired to pick one of the emperor’s 60-something kids to be appointed as the heir. By the time we left, there were four kids left alive.

Last session was a bit nuts. We got an angel fired from his job because he was bullying a snail, then had to resolve a custody battle between a coven of witches. We are level 4.

@ogmios

That sounds fucking awesome

@Crafter72
I watched a good chunk of it when it was first coming out, but I had to drop it because i was frankly not in a good enough place to hear the things that show was trying to say.

@grasshopper_mouse

1. I already know pokemon. I’m making an active effort to not be into pokemon anymore.

2. As a kid i wasnt allowed to watch tv or play videogames, so I’ve been trying to catch up on the childhoods everyone else had.

3. Trying to get out of MTG, not interested in the Pokemon TCG or the One Piece TCG because their mechanics aren’t interesting to me, and there is no amount of money you could pay me to deal with the average Yu-Gi-Oh player. The Digimon TCG seems cool, though.

@Sanctus

Fuck i forgot about Gurren Lagan. What am I doing with my life

@ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling

It’s September.

@Dagnet @dragontamer
I saw a video of a guy doing breaststroke in full plate mail once. Sure, it was rough for him, and he was already pretty fucking good at swimming, but he didn’t sink like metal Mario or anything like that.

@delta3 @yiff
That’s honestly adorable

@Fosheze
Don’t forget the citric acid! If you don’t include the citric acid, the water doesn’t go into the cheese right.

@The_Picard_Maneuver
Does that really count as cheese, though?
