HELP WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS ON MY TUMBLR PAGE
TW religious stuff, atheism, unhinged thoughts
I am writing this at 3:30 am i have not slept
TL;DR: Aragorn is Jesus and i am religiously fucked (and also on the ace spectrum, so dont take it that way) (and this is also not about romantic feelings)
Longer TL;DR: Aragorn fits the idea of Jesus and God that i was taught when i was a kid, and because i am losing my religion and belief he is very important to me.
When you are a little kid in bible study, they tell you all about the Lord, and how merciful He is, and how grateful we should be for Him. They tell you about how He loves everyone, and how He forgives your sins. In your head, an image forms of a true Father, someone who is like a shield, someone who you can fall back on, your safety net. He doesn't show up. Of course he doesn't show up, it is supposed to be that way, he is not supposed to show up, not for you, but you will still sit in church and look up and in the back of your mind just hope for something, anything to happen to show you that the shield is really there. That the safety net is really there, because you are afraid of the fall but everybody says just don't look down, trust us that it is there, and everyone else is blindfolded but you are supposed to trust them.
When you are a little kid in Gondor, the older men tell you about the King. How he is just, how he loves his people and how he will lead the race of men into glory. In your head, an image forms of a warrior, big and mighty, shining armour and white horse. Of a noble, head held high, who is far far away and unreachable, shining like a star to be admired. He doesn't show up either. For a long time he doesn't show up, and dozens of generations of kids grow with the image in their mind forming, then morphing into something bitter, like a broken promise. But then, then one day when everybody is ready to lose hope he shows up. He comes, riding in shining armour, head held high, like a distant star, leading legendary armies to battle and suddenly everyone understands because this is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, from the line of Isildur and you have the feeling to drop to your knees and pay your respects because this is not merely a diamond to be admired: this is a star shining so brightly like you have never seen before. This is your King. And he is out of your reach, because you are not even worthy of the touch of the light of this star but he looks you in the eyes and smiles, and suddenly the star is shining for you.
It is hard enough to trust another person, so of course it is hard to trust someone who is above human by any means. To trust someone who might not even look at you, spare you a second of their time because you are a grain of sand and they are the wind, but sometimes, the wind is not fast and busy, sometimes the wind is slow and careful, and caring for all of the sand in the desert.

Sending this to my party :D
There's a not insignificant chance I'll get to open a DND club at my school so I made these quick charts to help. They're made to be printed in A5 format, and if anyone is interested I can try and put a link to the PDF version on drive.
First image covers the type and names of dice. Image 2 explains ability scores, img 3 explains what modifiers, HP, AC, Proficiency, DC saving throw & death save mean.
Image 4 & 5 are also lists of words but they have a big red logo with white axes in it. Img 4 explains flanking, advantage, disadvantage, melee range, critical hit/fail, area of effect and ranged spell attack. Img 5 explains the elements of combat: Initiative, what a Round is, movement, action, bonus action, reaction, attack of opportunity.
My next step is to make one of these per class to help players remember their main level 1 features and main rolls, but that's probably going to have to wait until later.
This effort was inspired by GinnyDi's video about how to help new players like the game on YouTube. Please reblog if this seems useful to you!
ETA: There are now two more booklets in this collection: The Little Book of Level 1 has all the essential mechanics of each class, and Conditions, conditions, conditions! Sums up all possible conditions in the game. You can find them through the pinned post on my blog :)

Someone talk me out of coming out to my christian roommate please and thank you :D

Hi im not really experienced (third time dm :D) BUt
1. I can't wait for your next campaign, definetly count me in!
2. It really is not that complicated once you get into it, i promise!
3. And next time, when you feel like the whole world is against you, remember how it was literally against you here, and you won. Be the hero you are in you real life.
4. I guess for dm, it really helps if you engage, so i would do that, make sure they know they are doing great. For a player, listening can go a long way. Im not good with words in real life XD
Dear fellow TTRPG players!
I'm trying to get a little project together and I wanted to do a little crowd sourcing.
I am trash when it comes to wording things, and getting my feelings down on paper. I would appreciate any help! Thoughts, suggestions, anything really!
So my questions to you are:
What would you say to a first time DM as like "You Did It!" - but cooler
What would you say to a first time player?
What are some things you would say to your party, players or DM at the end of a campaign?
What would be some words of encouragement?
You all rock, and I thank you 🦝😚
If any of my players see this (wich they will not) be afraid.
Play kahoot music when your players take too long on a puzzle
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)
Nonbinary tag checks out :D
Hey! Positive experience for once:
One time one of my dad's friends came over, and he bought on of his kids, a girl my age. We were kinda awkward at first, because we had to share my room for a night, but then we started talking, and me, freshly discovered lesbian at the time, asked her if she knows girl in red.
She said YES! And also that when she saw my guitar that i was clearly not using but still kept in my room she wanted to ask but she was afraid. So we spent the night, just two small gays, not yet out to anyone but each other :D
Haven't heard of her since, but that was one of my first real life positive queer experiences, and i can't forget it :)
this made my day, thank you so much! i had a kinda stressful start of my day but seeing so many asks like this just brightened it up.
I'm showing Detroit: Become Human to my friend for the first time and they've come to the conclusion that this is an accurate representation of Hank and Connor's relationship
Do not talk about your abusive family on tiktok. Do not talk about your closeted identity on tiktok. Do not talk about your traumas and mental illnesses on tiktok. Do not talk about your plans to move out from your abusive household on tiktok. Do not talk about the ways you disagree with your bigoted family on tiktok.
Do not attach your face or voice to anything on tiktok that you do not want your family members, neighbors, coworkers, or classmates to see. Be smart and stay safe.
I wanna eat it
Also none of these is good to touch except maybe clear.
I jist want to show them the excitement i have for this thing :(
I think what a lot of non-autistic people don't understand is the relationship between special interest and empathy.
I love hearing people talk about their special interests because it makes them happy, and it makes me feel good to see other people happy. I talk about mine with the understanding that even if they don't get the actual thing, talking about it makes me happy and they like to see me happy.
This works really well with other autistic people, moderately well with those who have other divergences, and is an absolute minefield when talking to neurotypicals.
When I talk about my special interests with another autistic person, there's an understanding that I'll talk now about mine, and it'll be their turn soon. If we have similar interests, it rapidly devolves into excited fawning over something. If they're different, I get to learn about something new from someone who loves that thing more than anything.
When I talk with someone with another divergence, like my friend with ADHD, there's an understanding that maybe what I'm doing doesn't make sense, but it makes me happy, and it's not hurting anybody. I'm more careful about picking topics that are "of general interest", and more attentive to cues that it's time to talk about something else, but any person in this category who I know well enough to get like that around knows to just tell me to stop in a gentle way. We acknowledge each other's differences and respect them.
I don't usually start talking about special interests around neurotypicals. Unless we already have a very close relationship, there's no way for them to get the kind of enjoyment I would expect an autistic person to get from seeing me so happy. If I try to ask leading questions to get someone to "take their turn" and talk at length about something that makes them happy, they generally don't get it, and the conversation fizzles. In addition, neurotypicals usually don't understand that I'm not going to notice their subtle hints to stop talking, and will start to get frustrated by the time they clearly ask me to stop.
The only neurotypicals who actually get this kind of empathetic enjoyment are those who already like seeing me happy, like my parents or siblings, and even then, I can't really tell if they're getting much out of it. Opening up that much is risky, and often just not done. I know to be careful.
Basically, all this led me to this idea: autistics want to talk about our special interests because we want other people to feel the joy we feel. Other autistics pick up on that. Other neurodivergents pick up on something, even if they're not sure what, and neurotypicals make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Sometimes it's okay to be not productive. You deserve rest.
(i have a french test tomorrow and i have only watched doctor who and scrolled this afternoon. denial is sweet)
DOCTOR WHO! Especially the classic show, with the wacky special effects and costumes <3

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
My tone. Like a hundred times. I never mean it that way, it's just the way i speak
attention all autistics {?} [pt. 2]
what’s something an allistic has gotten pissed at you for and you had no idea what you did wrong (asking too personal a question, accidentally crossing a boundary, etc)?
Yeah but like they are smiling? And exaggerating their motions? So i think they are joking? But also it might be a social cue, i have no idea
Does anyone else feel embarrassed after getting carried away with your hyperfixation in front of someone who you know may not be interested in it? Like you exposed yourself in a way you shouldn't have?
Please reply with you experience, I need to know to deal with this.
I don't need the diagnosis for myself. I need it so people actually take me and my needs seriously :D
Something that makes me excited to finally get an official answer as to whether I have ADHD or not after being pretty confident I do for half a decade now is that I'll finally be able to explicitly call people out on their regular ableist exploitation of what was very likely executive dysfunction.
The most common manifestation of this would be whenever I'd tell my parents I was bored and/or wanted to do something fun with them.
The answers were always either
"It's too early to be bored!" Sorry my neurology doesn't wait to clock in, mumsy.
"Go and do..." [thing you've already considered and really want to do but can't because executive dysfunction, which will then result in the classic neurotypical response of "well just do it."]
And my personal favourite, being told to do a boring chore or menial task instead and being told "well clearly you aren't that bored then, you said you wanted something to do" when I get mad and try to explain the difference between asking to do something fun socially & asking to do something boring alone.
