The purple Lamy ink is gorgeous.
For some reason, I can’t find my fountain pen (yes, one), so that’s probably good enough reason to buy another.

I think Solasta felt more like a D&D campaign than BG3 to me.
I wouldn’t say it’s better than BG3, but I liked you played more as a party instead of a protagonist with companions.
Neither of those are gonna offer as much shenanigans and nonsense than a table can (or vtt).

There’s so much bureaucracy and jumping through hoops to get medical care it’s insane.
All in your most vulnerable moments too.
Also, fuck cancer

Looks like a Microfilm reader?
As for the joke… It’s like the dungeon was so huge they had to “shrink” it to microfilm to be able to fit in “1 page”.

I wouldn’t say it’s a great joke, but that’s what I got out of that.

Well I mean, next time your party needs to escape from somewhere, book an escape room that has a theme that’s close enough.
There’d be no tabletop element, obviously no weapon or spells, although your players can still kinda roleplay in there.

Most escape rooms around here already have their own little backstory and an actor introduces you to their shtick and sometimes interacts with you through the thing.
If you call them ahead of time, they might agree to slightly alter their existing stuff to accommodate your story.

I was gonna give you advice on trapping them, but then I realized you were talking about their characters and not the actual players.
Then again, playing the odd session in an actual escape room might be fun.

Always upvote Morte, that’s a new rule I just made up.

The drow being black skinned and evil… while I had never associated drow with IRL people, I can see how that might be touchy in a modern context.

I read something from R.A. Salvatore recently where he mentioned giving the drow more depth without retconning anything.
Simply put, the classic drow, like those from Menzoberranzan, are indeed evil, but there are other drow societies out there that aren’t.
This implies the classic evil drow comes from their cruel upbringing rather than being inherent to their lineage, which is honestly something I always imagined to be the case.
Drizzt’s story already fits that.

I thought this is a pretty simple and effective way to modernize the take on drow, without messing with the stories that have already been told.
