Putting in your own 1TB SSD is so easy I wouldn’t even worry about the whole warranty thing. Just follow along with a YouTube video and you’re done in 10 minutes.

Get blocked, nerd.

I think it’s more so that we know HOW it works but we don’t know WHY it works

To not take 15+ years to release it lol

Do you have an ad deal for this book or something? Bernays can eat a bag of dicks, this is case where the name doesn’t matter. The concept of it is always bad full stop. There’s no need to be pedantic. Honestly, I feel calling it CSAM could be detrimental because I didn’t know what that stood for before this thread. If I had just seen a post with “CSAM” in the title, I would have scrolled right on by because it meant nothing to me. Everyone knows what CP is and everyone knows it’s disgusting.

XD I know, I have no problem with it. This is an old meme I had saved on my phone, I didn’t make it.

Full disclosure, I absolutely love it when my players take things off the rails.

Yeah man, I wasn’t hating. Like I said, if your table is having fun then more power to you.

I mean, you do you, but that’s like a lot of backstory for a level 2. If it’s fun for you and your table, then more power to you.

What level are you starting at? If it’s a decently high level, then that’s understandable.

I honestly don’t know, pretty sure I saw it on Reddit a while back. I have it saved because I have a buddy who literally formats his character backstories like this and I like to poke fun at him.

I mean, that’s great, but when your player spits in the face of a God. Well. They fucked around, now they gonna find out.

Disclaimer: I only do stuff like this if the player is 100% in on the fun and I don’t present these types of opportunities lightly.

I mean, fuck it, it’s DnD. You do you as long as your DM is down with it.

People to play with are the main issue, local game stores and hobby shops might have groups that are open to new players. As far as learning the game, the core rules are free in the 5th edition SRD. And there’s tons of material on YouTube for learning the game. Once you get a grasp of the basics, I find it best to watch YouTube games like Critical Role or Dimension20. Just keep in mind that these people are professional players/actors, so while their games are unscripted, they kind of set an unrealistic standard for the amount/level of roleplay in a normal game. It’s also worth looking into other game systems like Pathfinder2e to see what fits you the best.

As the DM, I love it. It gives me something to work with for adding bits of player backstory to the overall plot.

Eh… Let em try. I like to see what happens when they fail.

Would that be phosphorescence? Those sound sick!

Honestly, most of the time players just have like 3 or 4 sentences for a backstory. Which is really better most of the time as it lets you build out the character over time in the game. If that’s the only thing holding you back, you should give it a try!
