Uh, does playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous count as an irl DnD campaign? XD
(Those are super good btw if you like dnd)
I love that this particular thread gets all the spammers.The best part of seeing something new on the forums is that it’s literally always this one
Anyhoo, this blew up most spectacularly haha!Hahaha it’s not a mimic of a 3J game if it doesn’t blow up
(So no one missed anything)
(since you sent the email)
I actually have bounty head set up on my rss feed so I get a notification on my desktop whenever there's a post here, just wasn't super interested after checking it out. That and I just got a huge project - probably the biggest i've ever received, to work on 4 days ago that kind of sealed the deal
Ty for still letting me know though BZ, I appreciate it

Yeah, Merry Christmas everyoneLove u guys
Hope Aman has a nice Hanukkah!
Yeah okay i'm not liking what i'm seeing here, looked at a bunch of reviews and while i'm not thin-skinned enough to care that the story's filled with rape or creepy shit, there was a spoiler review describing the plotline here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2534423989?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1 which is really not what I wanted to so.
Especially the fact that everyone's memory is erased at the end of the novel. That's some cop-out shit right there. Obvious and probably necessary but a cop-out nonetheless.
Though hey, if you're looking for something to read, I've been reading a lot of translated/webnovels as of late. Generally lower quality of writing (grammar/language-wise, since a lot of them are translated or have no editor) but a lot more willing to be creative with the plot or go into a lot more detail about things. Two best ones I've read so far are the following:
Lord of the Mysteries
http://novelfull.com/lord-of-the-mysteries.html
Follows the story of Zhou Mingri (though he quickly adopts and uses the name of the person whose body he inhabits, Klein, and you rarely see his name again), a chinese guy who enacts a ritual from a book on Earth that sends him into the body of a guy who shot himself in the head in the setting of Lord of the Mysteries. The setting is cthulhu/victorian era-esque, something I don't actually normally like, and which put me off from reading it for a really long time, but once I actually started I found it was extremely well executed and came with a very compelling magic system.
There are a couple infodumps early on when Klein is training with Old Neil but you can honestly skim through most of those.
It's translated from a Chinese novel, so there are some sayings that are a little weird if you're not used to them, but I found it to be a pretty high quality translation.
I'd say the series is roughly halfway done atm, it gets another 2-3 chapters every day (which will likely slow down when it catches up to the author), and i'm fairly confident in the author's plan for the story moving forward.
Mother of Learning
Follows a moody little piece of shit teenage kid going to wizard school who ends up caught in a time loop. He quickly grows out of his asshole personality and spends a very long time in the time loop. Author sucks at counting, something you'll notice very quickly when he starts actually putting down hard numbers on how much time has actually been spent in the time loop, but that's an inconsistency you can mostly ignore. The writing very quickly picks up once the time loop actually starts, though you'll have about two or three chapters before that happens.
The writing's great, the protagonist quickly becomes very likeable, the setting and the progression of the plot is well-paced IMO, and the story is nearly done, supposed to be finished this month actually. I'd strongly recommend you read this one first, if you read either or both of these series/novels, since it's nearly done and you won't have to end up waiting for any chapters.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with BHB anymore.
Also, most of you have an idea of how old I really am, but just to drive it home, Lady Z and I are going to be grandparents LOL!Mazal Tov!!
Who in their right mind would want to be in a sinking submarine? I'll set up shop and got your back on the way back here" Jacob would then try to get to the closest vantage point and cover Crystal's and Butch's escape.
"M-maybe someone should check upstairs before we go? You know... could be some drugs, or rich people in those cells we can ransom off after rescuing them?" Gilbert suggests. He then checks the video feed to see if there's any problems with them going up for a quick snatch and run."I have a feeling this guy has a lot of victims locked up here." Butch says. "Clear me a path, maybe block any media attention, ill do a quick look."
Butch, strip him before we get to the sub, I'll guard the entrance. See if he has any implants too, we really can't afford to be followed from here
