Yeah lemmy has... Issues. People are probably still trickling in, but if it's to those instances it won't really improve.

Isn't they the place where fmhy went to? Fucking sad if so

I actually prefer world, like, by a massive margin, but Chronicles is by far the best game to recommend newbies imo (that I've had extensive time with).

I'm just gone give you a quick run down of the simplest ttrpg i play; Chronicles of darkness.

Every single roll uses the same type of dice and the numbers you need to hit are almost universally the same. Every skill, ability, power, or what-have-you uses the same simple system (with only two ways to resist/contest roles). All characters (including NPCs and monsters) are created in roughly the same way with roughly the same rules (with certain stuff added on depending on what you're making). The book has an entire section on homebrew, with guidelines and examples. Every book has advice on playing ttrpgs broadly (like setting up what's off limits from the start) and specifically Chronicles (like offering sources of inspiration). Speaking of books, there are plenty of them but you only need a single book to play a full game. The game also uses a major cheat code for the setting; it's set in the modern world, so new players have an easy time understanding what's going on.

I say all of that to say 5e is all together bad for new players. It's price gouging, it's convoluted, and isn't actively friendly to new players like other systems.

Now that's straight up not true. 5e is a lot of things (unfinished, unclear, underhanded) but it isn't simple. And thanks to it's inconsistency it's a nightmare to make good, reliable content for. There are many, many, many better systems to start a new player on and it's quite possibly one of if the worst to start a DM on.

Seriously, screw these people. Not the people using a neat piece of tech, the idiots so freaked out by a different piece of cool tech that they panic over a vr headset.

Google glasses were fucking awesome conceptually.

What threat of homelessness? Razira is a paladin, she can, and is expected to, live out of temples and strongholds of her order. Besides there are much bigger power dynamics of you really care about that sorta thing. Konsi literally talks to razira's god, and they both know it.

I got a thing for sportswear and I'm pretty sure i can trace it back to a Playboy i stole as a kid

I really like that cheeky last panel

Aladdin, maybe. Rogue, thieves, and street rats are easily the coolest rings. Being one of the few Disney characters i can actually remember helps.

So i gotta ask what pro-c means

This the kinda thing that doesn't work unless you're playing on a computer.
