“there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock. people so tired mutilated either by love or no love. people just are not good to each other one on one. the rich are not good to the rich the poor are not good to the poor. we are afraid. our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winners. it hasn’t told us about the gutters or the suicides. or he terror of one person aching in one place alone untouched unspoken to watering a plant.” - Charles Bukowski (born: 16 August 1920)
Good morning @neil-gaiman, thank you so much for this. I'm psyched to add your books to my list! I learned to read my first words with the Chronicles of Narnia. Dawn Treader and Magician's Nephew are my favorites. It must be the portals.
i’ve only been playing dnd for a relatively short while but here’s what i’ve learnt so far:
splitting the party will always always result in something ridiculous happening, even if it’s for something as simple as a shopping trip
when in doubt just let the bard loose
if the DM raises their eyebrows it’s either the best idea or the worst idea
sometimes a box is just a box
sometimes the box that you think is just a box is not, in fact, a box
you will inevitably save magical items/potions for “when you really need them” and end up with 53729 forgotten, powerful objects in the bag of holding, begging to be used
