you will never ever guess what new media I just got into (I am unable to be normal about this)
Ranboos so androgynous, he's like if a man and a women has a baby
Thinking about Gillion hrs
How scary it must have been to leave the underseas with little knowledge of those above
HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET TI MENTION YASMIN FINNEY????

drawing for my fic on ao3, because apparently I have lost my goddamn mind
(I write better than I draw, I swear)
charlie just being confused and scared, begging for ranboo to give him even just a single answer.
charlie seeing that the cabin he thought was his childhood home was nothing but a set for a show.
charlie realising all his memories of his life are lies and he has not a single clue who he actually is.
maybe my favourite part of episode three, honestly.
Well, i am officially cursed with David Tennant. I haven't seen the Matrix before, so what is a better family night than watching it together with your nerd dad? (its okay, i love him)
I could not stop seeing David Tennant. I look away for a minute, and from the corner of my eye, the character on screen looks like him. Is the lighting poor? They look like him. Is the angle awkward or just obscuring some of their face? DAVID F*CKING TENNANT
Guys! I cracked the code! I wish I had any followers to share this magic revelation I had!
In D&D I love being a DM. I really do. With one exception.
Money.
Knowing how much a character should buy or sell something for is just way out of my grasp. For a rare item the price can be anywhere between five hundred and five THOUSAND. That’s a big difference! How am I supposed to know in between those two numbers what it should be?
I googled. And googled. And googled. Thinking *there must be a better way* and couldn’t find a single thing that made sense. Well me and two other DM friends got together and we figured it out. The magic system of pricing.
So first you take the pricing by magic item rarity in the DMG
Then you go to Xanathars and look at the Magic Item Tables to determine if the item is major or minor
Divide the prices in the rarity into major and minor. Major the higher half and minor the lower.
So that makes
Rare Minor - 500 - 2,500
Rare Major - 2,501 - 5,000
Very Rare Minor - 5,001 - 30,000
Very Rare Major - 30,001 - 50,000
Legendary Minor - 50,000 - 300,000
Legendary Major - 300,000 - 500,000
Then
THEN
It’s all up to a persuasion roll. Because let’s face it, what’s a fantasy shopping adventure of magic items without bartering and haggling?
So you divide the amounts into roll milestones. So a persuasion roll of 0-10 you pay the highest and 20+ you pay the lowest.
Like so:
Common Items: 1d6 x 10
Uncommon Items 1d6 x 100
Rare Minor:
0-9: 2,500
10-11: 2,100
12-14: 1,700
15-17: 1,300
18-19: 900
20+ : 500
Rare Major
0-9: 5,000
10-11: 4,600
12-14: 4,200
15-17: 3,800
18-19: 3,200
20+: 2,500
Very Rare Minor
0-9: 30,000
10-11: 25,000
12-14: 20,000
15-17: 15,000
18-19: 10,000
20+ : 5,000
Very Rare Major
0-9: 50,000
10-11: 45,000
12-14: 40,000
15-17: 35,000
18-19: 30,000
20+ : 25,000
Legendary
0-9: 250,000
10-11: 200,000
12-14: 150,000
15-17: 100,000
18+ : 50,000
Legendary Major
0-9: 500,000
10-11: 450,000
12-14: 400,000
15-17: 350,000
18-19: 300,000
20+ : 250,000
Seriously someone who is followed by a lot of D&D people find this shit and spread it! It’s so much easier and makes a million times more sense then anything I ever heard of before and i wish someone else would have thought of it sooner (or if someone else did that I had found it sooner)
It was sensory overload
Am i having a sensory overload in this fucking museum or did i just not sleep enough except i actually slept for nine hours last night
i feel like the important part is maybe that we tried? i like to think that us choosing the die option was a bit more comforting for gl!ranboo than the live option, so like even if it ends up being the same, we chose the ironically less emotionally painful way to go about it.
Controversial take but I've been thinking about Generation Loss and I don't think the live or die vote options really truly mattered in the end. We already know Showfall reanimates their puppets and to me the truest tragedy is that we gave him what he wanted by killing him so he wouldn't have to play the game over ans over, but... there's no reason to believe he can't be brought back to do it all again regardless.
The desperate call for it to end could have been just as futile as choosing the "live" option but at least for a moment he got what he asked for and got to make his own choice. Tragedy of the Hero.
