Employee Number 427's job was simple: he sat at his desk in room 427, and he pushed buttons on a keyboard. Orders came to him through a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Employee 427 did every day of every month and every year, and although others might have considered it soul-rending, Stanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job.

in 3e, the tarrasque had regeneration, and couldnt die from negative HP. So the idea of building a town that "farmed" an unconscious tarrasque for its meat/bones/whatever was a popular thought experiment for a setting back in the day. IIRC there was also someone who took the idea and published it as an actual book at some point too (which honestly felt kinda scummy to me, since it was basically a big community project/collaboration)

in 3e, summon spells specifically conjured the spirits of creatures that couldnt "die" per se. They would desummon if they lost all their HP and reform later.

i mean, there were plenty of other ways, including things you could do at lower level, that was just the common go to because it required a single high level spell, and usually you fought big T at high level.

the usual go to back in the day was to drown it, because it wasnt immune to that in any way. Simply gate it to the plane of water. There was a number of other work arounds like that too.

i can also confirm that the tarrasque was pretty universally clowned on for being easy in 3.5e. That discussion is basically what drove the whole "town built around the tarrasque" idea on the wizard forums and enworld. That said, it's probably not as bad as the 5e tarrasque by comparison

I guess that would just be a GPU?

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They're purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

the new 2024 rules allow for this. All half races/species have been removed, and instead you get to mix and match any two you want.

Finally, a true d&d killer has arrived

Those graphs are from anydice. I'm not familiar with dice.run, but anydice has been around a long time (15+ years at this point) and is what most people i'm aware of use for comparing dice stats. It can be a little confusing to use, but its pretty good.

but this meme predates youtube, though...

Today marks one year since the TTRPG network was set up after the whole hubbub over at reddit. While we certainly haven't been the largest instance in town, we're still reasonably active, and overall i think things are going pretty good.

Not really much to say, just wanted to point out our fedi-versary. Thanks for participating and hope everyone is still enjoying themselves!

 

Just a small FYI update, the host that we used just informed us that our website is now certified green hosted by the green web foundation, meaning that our site is completely hosted by clean energy.

You should see the badge display in our sidebar about it starting today.

 
 

Just an FYI, ttrpg.network has updated to 19.2. There's apparently some potential issues with cached logins, and you must delete your cookies/cache, or log out and remove and readd your account to most apps. Let me know if you have any other problems.

 
 

Hey all, recently it was brought up that pathfinder.social seems to be down, and for some time. So I went ahead and created a local community for all your pathfinder needs.

For now, this is a catchall for pathfinder, both 1e and 2e, if the need arises, we can always create another community to split, but I don't think it's that important right now.
