This has genuinely happened to me

physical revulsion

I was indeed just stating that it can be important (e.g. it’s important your doctor knows you’re trans), but obviously I was a dumbass for trying to make my point this way.

Thank you for this comment. I do hope that the instance continues to be an inclusive place for trans folks and their allies. I’d like to clarify that I didn’t intend to make anyone feel they needed to defend their identity; the fact that my message was poorly worded was the cause of that.
Cards on the table, I’m someone many would consider an egg. I’m a cis male, but I’ve always felt more comfortable talking with women, and have always felt that I wished I’d been born female (I’ve never had dysphoria though). After a lot of discussions with the trans community, I came to see that I’m ultimately comfortable with who I am.
So when I make statements to the tune of “It’s important to some people that their trans identity is recognized”, it comes from the heart. Again, I recognize that I initially worded that in probably the worst way, and I apologize sincerely to anyone I offended.

I’d really like to appeal it because I like several of the communities there. I also recognize that I was on a meme sub and people aren’t there to defend their identity with a stranger - there’s a time and a place. It was a post about unity and inclusion, and my gripe about an implication of the message wasn’t worth ruffling feathers.

But thank you for the comment, the instance didn’t seem to mention anything about messaging mods or appeals, and I wasn’t sure if there was some fediverse-wide method.

Elle Fanning is incredible in everything she’s been in, so that may be a factor

Ween!

Secret rules are interesting and motivational when you’re discovering them, and crippling once they become a routine. This post is saying to skip these unnecessary practices and do it the way that suits you.

Weird these peanuts smell like almonds…

Yeah the secret is not staying on top of all of these at once but finding a good balance

It’ll be the first Albion-type game

Pro tip: you can change them however you want
I attacked my party with a backhoe that had a bulette’s statblock

Also played 4e for like 3 months and enjoyed it. But it felt like a spinoff more than anything, and the game DID feel “game-ier”. I wouldn’t want my long-running campaigns in 4e.

Did anyone die in character creation?

There’s pseudodragons and whelps that can easily be low level encounters. I threw a green dragon and a bunch of flying kobolds at my level 3 party and they easily won the fight.

In this instance I wouldn’t have given the intimidation, no. I’d have allowed them to put the debris in their mouth but the npc was distracted by the attack and didn’t see. To intimidate them would take an action, and a success would give them the frightened condition.

It honestly just comes down to your DM style. An interaction like this is fun and has no mechanical benefit. If a player then wanted to pick up a potion and drink it as part of a free action, the DM would have to explain this to the players explicitly. But I’ve always been on the side of permissive rulings, because it allows the players to express themselves more freely. It takes more improvisation though.

Loosely, you get a “use object interaction” every turn that isn’t given a lot of emphasis but is in the rules as “other activity on your turn” (pg 190, PHB 2014). It includes something like talking, opening an unlocked door during your movement, picking up something within reach from a table, or unsheathing your sword as part of your attack action. It says it should require an action only if it needs special care or presents an unusual obstacle. I’d agree that grabbing a handful of dust and putting it in your mouth could be a free action.

Every table uses some form of house rule though. The description won’t be your exact D&D experience but it IS a typical one.
