I don't play
I can play in non gay edition
If you look closely in the pic it's obvious, the beholder charmed everyone and puppeteer them in a sic twisted faggot play. Kill the beast, pray away the gay.

I would call Hasbro fans mindless but that might not be charitable.
"Hey that company is going to shit and I'm not buying anything from them any more." How is that going to go over well with the manchild who has the D&D tattoo? I think they just turn a blind eye to it all and would rather just have the ignorance is bliss mentality. It's tragic especially when you could just play pathfinder

D&D is the definition of roleplaying games. if you want to create a campaign of heterosexual dwarfs nothing is stopping you.

I don't partake in ultra dork activities

Nobody did, I started a PF2e campaign with a few friends and my girlfriend last week.
You're addicted to grifters telling you that "they" want to take your toys away and shit so you buy the shit they're shilling.

WOTC ruined D&D long before this crap was added. It's been shit since 4e, which was nearly 20 years ago.

Just play Oldschool Essentials if you want modernized D&D.

>>520431013 (OP)
No they didn't. It has always been a nerd game. No heterosexual man ever played it.

They literally never took D&D from me. I still have the game and can play it however I like.

>>520431670
And make it about them literally smashing a cabal of demon worshipping bankers who are funding OP's picrel. Could be a fun campaign. Any anons want to start an online group? It'd have to start ~10pm edt after my kids are asleep.

>Oldschool Essentials
Too far back, their AD&D books are better.

>>520431754
You should try it. It's fun. Just grab one of the old DM books and create your own little world. Then you can have your friends explore it. Print some character sheets out from the web and help them build their characters, if you have any artist friends you can even draw them out.

My d&d campaign is about good elves trying to not exterminate orcs by enslaving them and trying to have them productive to restore a ruined world. The orcs seem to ruin every attempt to have them be free and not a problem. I love fantasy.

>>520431918
This kind of homosexual aesthetic is creepy and predatory regardless of your thoughts on homosexuals and sodomy.

D&D is about European mythology not LGBT gender ideology.

>>520431013 (OP)

DnD was always unrealistic pseudo-woke garbage

It's just the larger demographic at this point, there's more faggy nerds out there than chuddy ones. Like my one friend in middle school we could always tell he was gay and he played D&D once at summer camp then became obsessed with it and always telling us about the new elf he was playing as, these are just the types of people who like roleplaying

>>520432262
Boy Scouts is a Christian Paramilitary brainwashing program.

>>520432031
True. They're my go-to recommendations for people who want to get into "D&D".

Flesh and Blood is also a fun TCG if you're trying to drop Magic.

>It's just the larger demographic at this point, there's more faggy nerds out there than chuddy ones
That’s just cope. Japanese anime is still chudded despite all their gay nerd fans overseas. D&D certainly got infiltrated, blackmailed, and bought out by Blackrock same as everyone else.

Humiliation propaganda is still a physical force in the world whether or not it interferes with your game.

It was never about preventing you from playing what you want, it was about bombarding society on all levels with degenerate imagery. Buying every "intellectual property" and filling it with fags is its own reward to people like this, they don't need an extra reason just the constant celebration and presentation of evil where once there was good is satisfying to them.

There's huge amounts of gay, racial, and spiritual degeneracy in Anime, it's just got a different tone so you're not used to hearing it.
Anime will portray a fag as a horrible freak of nature and a nigger as a chimp but the people who hate those characters will be evil and you'll call it based because they're ugly.

Politics is the practice of deciding what you will and won't be threatened with death over, up to and including "what the armed mob declares the truth to be".

Pretending otherwise (I JUST WANNA GRILL) is how your blood enemies took control of society and marched a circle around your property line without your notice. The lesson for "I just wanted to be left alone" faggots was "they were never going to leave you alone, ever, so wanting that was a retarded dream" not endlessly wishing to go back to the poisonous sleep of 1999.

Who cares? They can't retroactively change the books you already have, they can't change the rules you make up or have used for years.

3.5, tweaks to combat maneuvers to make them more streamlined and useful so martial classes aren't useless. In setting risks to using certain themes of magic/high level casting to further keep things grounded.
Most important and difficult part is to find people who aren't total fuckin chuds. Also try to have a prime DM and have them train up a player to be an assistant DM to avoid burnout

I ask this as an outsider who used to play MTG casually but wasn't D&D always for this crowd.

I am a zoomer so maybe it was different in the 80's/90's but i've never pictured D&D having a hardcore aethetic like Dark souls and only being liked by right wing warhammer guys.

AD&D 1e was a land constantly beset by monsters. Half-orcs, though a player race, were almost always an accidental result of rape and their non-acceptance by society wasn't something to solve because your party was a band of adventurers and not townsfolk. You were fighting monsters and protecting people for gold. You were a monster slayer first and foremost, and this was dangerous, hazardous work where there were far worse things to face doing it than death. Creating a cutesy, colorful accepting world where the monsters are integrated is antithetical to the spirit of what D&D was designed to be, and the design mechanics of 5e in dumbing everything down to be less punishing and hyper simplified and streamlined also contributes towards this antithetical spirit. Instead of overcoming hard and nearly impossible odds with whatever you have, you now face unengaging occasional combat designed not to offend the less capable. The struggle is gone and so is the hobby as a result.

They didn't take D&D from me. They literally can't. It's a game of imagination, that exists in my mind. I own the old books. 3rd edition. 5th edition. And I homebrew my own rules. In the same way that a lot of people are getting into retro gaming because AAA videogames are so full of fat black queers trying to gay fuck each other and it's cringe and antifun. Well D&D is also becoming full of fat black queers sucking the fun out of the hobby. So we just need to fall back to the cool earlier editions. There is actually huge popularity for what is called OSR or old school rennaissance which is a slight rewrite of 1st edition AD&D rules. Games like Mork Borg or Pirate Borg are in the OSR style of gritty hardcore D&D where your character dies fast.

D & D was cool in the 1980s when I used to play it. Spent several summers down in the basement playing it with friends.

No they didn't. D&D is a game that can be played an infinite number of ways and is tailored by the DM towards what is fun for the group. There is no rule that can be added that cannot be house ruled out if it would be more fun without it. And if an edition is completely fucked, I can play an older edition.

I pay Pathfinder 1st edition on the regular with friends and family (for those unfamiliar, it's just D&D 3.5 with a little better balance). I do not do organized play ever, as the only correct way to pay a tabletop is with friends.

Nothing exists after 3.5. Simple as.

Okay but explain what were they thinking with that gay post? Do they seriously think gay woke people like D&D, one of the nerdiest games every game by humanity? Or they just like pissing off their fanbase?

The people who talk shit about D&D probably watch movies and TV which makes them hypocrites. You like people playing roles on TV or in movies but when they play the role of an adventurer in D&D suddenly you act like it's beneath you. D&D is acting and actors can make a lot of money. Or D&D is writing, and writers can make a lot of money. Or D&D is art, and artists can make a lot of money. So D&D is actually a path to success and wealth in the company of good friends. Why would you mock that?

You could always take on the persona of a crippled character if you think you got the skills rather than bitching about others that chose a character that best matches their real selves.

Nothing. It's a response to the various anons who posted negative sentiments about my hobby.

The provoking thing about that picture is not only the absurd amount of homosexuality, but how they have taken all contrast out of the world. No evil exists. No one is angry. No one looks dangerous. It can't even be called childish because even children are exposed to violence and struggle in their fiction. This is just an insane leftist fantasy where every man is a homosexual, where everybody loves each other, no two people have contradicting ideals or motives. It's blunted and banal.

I got into D&D with the TSR books in the 90's. Back then D&D was trying a lot of new things. I think they had 5 or 6 settings. One of them was Dark Sun and that's my jam. Dark Sun is D&D if it was written by /Pol. The world is ruled by racist sorcerer kings who have committed a genocide and mass murdered all of the faggy fantasy bitchass creatures. Once they killed all the fairies and goblins and other bullshit races they implemented slavery as the dominant economic system in the realm. All the D&D races are super racist. The elves hate everyone who isn't elf. The dwarves hate everyone who isn't dwarf. The humans hate everyone who isn't human. And the setting is full of some of the most grimdark edgelord shit, like when the sorcerer kings decided to forcibly breed their human and dwarven slaves to produce a race of half-dwarves bred only for a quick death in gladiatorial games for their entertainment. Or the halflings which are jungle cannibals that will eat your ass.

Fantasy was always for normal men, for all of human history, relegating it to the fringe was always a modernist fag psyop. DND was designed as an intentional synthesis of Tolkien, Howard, and Boroughs where masculine ideals stab niggers and chinks.

I'm also a millennial. When I was in high school, I hung out with the account l anime club, which served as a big fucking tent for a few nerdy groups. The magic the gathering players showed up to club and then subsequently would play mtg outside the driving clubroom unless the anime that was airing was fucking good. A good chunk of the club played D&D (note: everyone did 3.5 back then though I occasionally heard of some friends doing d20 Modern), though usually not at school. And I remember a handful of club members were also in the GSA.

I don't know what happened to a lot of the people I used to hang out with, but one of them is a family friend and is now a trans man with two kids. Yeah, the gay kids were in the nerd group.

The Oneirothanatos (Dream-Eater)*

**Overall Appearance:**
At first glance, the Oneirothanatos resembles a classic beholder: a massive, floating orb of chitinous flesh with a large, central eye and ten writhing eyestalks. However, its coloration is subtly different. Instead of earthy tones, its hide is a shifting, pearlescent palette of opalescent white, shimmering lavender, and faint, hypnotic gold. Its great central eye doesn't hold malice, but a deep, swirling vortex of kaleidoscopic patterns, like a living opal. Its smaller eyes are not distinct orbs, but are made of solidified, crystalline light, each one pulsing with a soft, alluring glow

>>520442781
>Just ignore it
The celebration of ugliness should be opposed even if it doesn't effect you personally.

>>520443025
### **The Spell: The Soporific Nexus**

The beholder's dread central eye does not emit a ray of anti-magic, but instead projects a **Soporific Nexus**—a shimmering, dome-shaped field of energy that expands rapidly to engulf a vast area. The air within the Nexus shimmers like a heat haze, filled with the scent of ozone and forgotten, blissful memories.

This spell is a masterful, layered weave of two devastating effects:

**1. Mass Illusion (The Grand Mirage):**
The Nexus does not create a single illusion, but rather acts as a canvas upon which the victims' own minds paint their deepest, most fervent desires. A warrior sees himself crowned emperor on a mountain of gold. A wizard experiences the moment of unlocking the universe's final secret. A lover is reunited with their soulmate. The illusions are perfect, seamless, and tailored with cruel, psychological precision. They are not just seen; they are felt, smelled, and tasted with absolute fidelity.

**2. Euphoria Ray (The Blissful Surge):**
Simultaneously, the enchanted atmosphere of the Nexus floods the senses with a neuro-magical euphoria. It is a wave of pure, undiluted ecstasy that courses through the body, overwhelming the nervous system. This is not a gentle happiness, but a violent, addictive rapture. Every touch feels like a lover's caress, every sound is a symphony, and the sight of their personal illusion becomes a religious experience.

---

### **The Mechanism of Slow Death: Overstimulation and Atrophy**

The horror of the Soporific Nexus is not in immediate damage, but in a slow, insidious decay. The combination of perfect illusion and overwhelming euphoria creates a feedback loop of overstimulation from which there is no desire to escape.

>>520439363
You can use the advanced race guide to make Jews a dedicated evil race instead of piggybacking gnomes.

D&D is probably one of the whitest hobbies.

It's based on Tolkien, a white man who wanted to make a mythology for England, for the white people of England. Gary Gygax (a white man) adapted that lore into the Chainmail wargame and D&D was born.

And you know black people aren't going to play it because it requires reading at least half of 1 book, which is a bridge too far for most YN's.

>>520443127
**The Process:**

* **Addiction and Apathy:** The victim, experiencing the pinnacle of their existence, has no desire to move, eat, drink, or even blink. Why would they? Reality is a pale, worthless shadow compared to the paradise they inhabit. They stand or lie motionless, a beatific smile frozen on their face.
* **Neurological Burnout:** The euphoria ray constantly fires the brain's pleasure centers at maximum capacity. Synapses fry under the relentless bliss. The mind, unable to sustain this peak, begins to short-circuit. Victims may start to twitch, their eyes flickering rapidly behind closed lids as their brain tries to process the impossible sensory load.
* **Physical Atrophy:** As days pass, the body simply shuts down. Dehydration and starvation set in, but the victim feels no pain, only the continuing euphoria. Their muscles waste away, their skin grows pale and waxy. They do not struggle; they simply... fade.
* **The Final Illusion:** The death itself is perceived within the illusion. The emperor's crown becomes impossibly heavy, crushing him in a blissful embrace. The wizard's ultimate secret becomes a blinding light that absorbs him. The lover's embrace becomes a warm, sinking feeling as they drift into eternal sleep together. The victim dies physically from neglect, but experientially, they die at the climax of their own perfect dream.

Let me tell you the story of the Jewish Beholder and the Great Population Collapse of Fagsdale, known to the remaining local population of goblins as The Great Feeding Time.

>>520441942
There was an instance in one of my campaigns where an NPC was a fantasy version of a real person who suffered from tuberculosis, so the explanation was that he was suffering from a debilitating curse that made him weaker and weaker and could not be cured by regular magical means. He used a cane at the start and by the end he could barely move. Finding his cure was a big part of the campaign's story.

We never even considered the combat wheelchair though. It's a horrible homebrew done by a mentally ill woman, one of those white millenial girls who thinks they're "disabled" but never specifies why or how, just rolls around in a wheelchair for some reason. It's horribly balanced, it's retarded, but WOTC saw a disabled virtue signal and fully embraced it like the retards that they are. Just like how they're embracing a fag festival in high fantasy dnd with a cute beholder enjoying the proceedings.

>>520443249
### **Scene of an Attack**

A town square, frozen in time. Dozens of people stand or recline in poses of rapture. A blacksmith forever holds the perfect sword he just forged, his eyes wide with joy. Children laugh silently at phantasmal puppets. A guard captain stands at attention, saluting a phantom king. There is no sound but a faint, collective sigh of contentment and the low, resonant hum of the hovering Oneirothanatos. It floats slowly among them, its central eye pulsing, feeding on the psychic energy of their dying dreams, growing ever more vibrant as its victims grow ever more pale. It is a garden of blissful despair, tended by a master of delusion.

| STR | DEX | CON | INT | WIS | CHA |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|

**Proficiency Bonus** +5

***Antimagic Cone.*** The Oneirothanatos's central eye creates a 150-foot cone of antimagic, as per the *antimagic field* spell. At the start of each of its turns, the beholder decides which way the cone faces and whether the eye is active. The eye works even if the beholder is blinded or unconscious. If the cone overlaps an area of magic, the area is suppressed, but the eye's effect is not canceled.

***Dream-Eater's Aura.*** Any creature that starts its turn within 30 feet of the Oneirothanatos and can see it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the *Slow* spell for 1 minute. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to this aura for 24 hours.

### Actions
***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 21 (4d10) piercing damage.

***Soporific Nexus (Recharge 5-6).*** The Oneirothanatos activates its central eye, replacing the Antimagic Cone for one round. Each creature of the Oneirothanatos's choice in a 60-foot-radius sphere centered on itself must make a DC 17 Charisma saving throw.

On a failed save, a creature is drawn into a perfect illusion of its greatest desire and subjected to overwhelming euphoria. The creature is **Incapacitated** and suffers from **Blissful Atrophy**.

On a successful save, a creature is instead affected by the *Slow* spell for 1 minute.

Hey man, you wanna play a paladin? Better roll a goddamn 17 on your charisma or no paladin for you! Also no elf paladins, humans only.

Yeah I've played AD&D 2e. I'll still prefer 3.5 any day. Plus it made dealing with NPC monsters easier because they all get ability scores and skill ranks just like players. So if a player manages to speak hobgoblin and convince the ones in the dungeon to help them out, one can actually figure out what they can do besides fight.

nope, originally on D&D and MTG was pure chuds despite some of the creators being leftish. Men have always liked fantasy worlds and it fit the bill well for even Chuds. Once it started to catch on though absolute dredful 'nerds' joined enmasse simply because they were losers with nothing to belong too and Chuds for all our supposed hatred were a welcoming group. As with anything the more outsiders joined in the it reached an inflection point where the group is what mattered not the game and the Chuds were villianized for even liking the 'racist game'. Now Wizards of the Coast is the absolute faggy and gayest company on the fucking planet and any white male still buying their slop is a the absolute lowest of a spineless fucking cowards or a troon as troons have absolutely infested D&D and MTG and really all tcg spaces now.

>>520444169
You're aware there are other TSR editions besides 1st and 2nd AD&D, right?

>>520431013 (OP)
I literally do not care about anything WotC puts out and I would not even know this image exists if not for /pol/ and /tg/ ragebait threads. The best thing about DnD is that you have complete control over the content if your game. Tailoring the content to your exact tastes is literally part of the gameplay experience. None of this affects me.

>>520444411
consider those digits checked.

>>520443549
Yeah if you play the module 'Freedom' as written, the players will probably join the Veiled-Alliance to take the city of Tyr after Kalek's assassination by Rikus the Gladiator. But that's not the only possibility. I let my players play any alignment they want, and if they want to be defilers or join with the defilers then they can.

If you think about the context of the 1990's it was the height of climate-change panic and we grew up with children's cartoons like Captain Planet, telling us to save the earth from the ravages of corporate greed and exploitation.

So yeah the players are probably trying to liberate the slaves and kill the Sorcerer-kings but saving the dying earth is a noble cause. It's existential because unchecked sorcerer-king power is gradually killing the planet. And this parallels the real world in a bunch of ways, as giant corporations exploit our own world for profit. Since /Pol is traditionally counter-culture, and the establishment is mostly pro-corporation (or in the pocket of corporations) so taking down the sorcerer-kings in Dark Sun is like going after Peter Thiel to save the middle class from the upper-class.

>>520447408
Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.
3.5 was overbloated TRASH. It introduced the faggoty idea of character "builds" to D&D. where munchkins spend HOURS min maxing and "building' a character designed to exploit one rule to the point of breaking the game.
So the DM has to combat this with more and more ridiculous "boss battles" and other story fag shit to challenge the characters who have broken the game.
It was gay and bad.
It was the beginning of people looking down at their character sheet for the answer to all their problems.
It was the beginning of rules for everything under the sun instead of the DM making a ruling.

Have you all noticed that we have a lot of threads very obviously from other blue boards here now?

I don't think this is a bad thing, but it is kinda obvious as of very recently.

Looks like all the Jewish Redditors running the blue boards wanted a way to prevent /pol/ from spilling over and too many Goyim knowing, and starting threads specific to other boards, here, is the best solution for them to try and hold containment without making them look like the assholes (censorship through bans, etc.)

At first it was just /k/, maybe /v/ for obvious reasons. Now it's a much larger variety of blue boards. Because if we have the political discussions here, it means that Jews aren't named on other boards, and they can use indirect methods of censorship to sidestep the question of why a site, the only distinguishing feature of which is its tolerance of free speech, has Jewish censorship running rampant in certain boards.

> The hard truth: D&D has always been for fags. If you were straight, you played sports and chased girls

Checked for trips of truth.

When I was a kid, I was an unusual guy in the fact that I was the biggest boy in my class, physically active and good at sports, but also in the academically talented/GATE program where we spent one day a week in advanced classes with other smart kids.

Most of them were geeky, but I could relate to them on an intellectual level, so when they invited me to come over to one of their places to play D&D I accepted. They even had two Girls in their group.

When I got there, the two girls were both some of the ugliest, fattest excuses for girls I ever saw, and the other guys were either simping over them or embarrassed to even interact with them. The two ham planets both started actively doing anything they could to get cozy with me, with one trying to “sit” her obese ass on my lap while the simps seethed at a guy with a testosterone level above 2 being in their little geek club…

So I was now an interloper who was garnering the “attentions” of these two girls that they had obviously spent their efforts cultivating, even though I wanted no parts of either of them.

I don’t even remember the game part of the day, just the saltiness of my geek friends from school who were angry at me for female nature.

Never went back, because there was more than enough drama chasing girls I actually wanted instead of dealing with the same shit for girls I wouldn’t fuck in the first place.

Except the problem with shitty DND is literally the opposite, wishy washy "just have the DM decide something" storyteller bullshit. The rigor and detail of the rules is absolutely necessary as evidenced by everything going to hell in a hand basket when we backed off on them.

You'd be crippled in a battle if you had no access to a healer, but nobody brings a wheel chair to a battle you get put on the back of a cart or carried away before you get coup de grace by a lvl 1 goblin child,

Halflings created this shit, originally they had a society similar to the Engineers from Alien Prometheus.

And 10,000 splat books with gorrilions of options to minmax from.

That shit happened all the time. Every person I've spoken to IRL who was into 3.5 goes off about their le epic build. I watched this power gaming bullshit unfold in my younger brothers D&D group.
>Except the problem with shitty DND is literally the opposite, wishy washy "just have the DM decide something" storyteller bullshit.
I do not need a rule book to tell me how to gamify shit like setting a grappling hook or the number of arrows recovered after a fight. Having rules for EVERYTHING slows the game down to a crawl. Make a ruling or roll some dice and move on. But in 3.5 your players are expecting you to follow the rules to the letter because they "built" their character to exploit specific rules. It's slow and clunky. Just teach A.I to run the game for you at that point. At least the game would move along at a reasonable pace.

Have you tried getting a normal and productive hobby like a real man? Did you expect people who sit around playing pretend to not be weirdos?

How about a campaign of deeply closeted dwarves who hide their homosexuality behind numerous macho male bonding activities who start having their dreams invaded by a mindflayer deep in the caverns, causing them to have increasingly explicit sexual fantasies/hallucinations about each other, but all of them tell the others that they believe a monster is simply giving them nightmarish visions, and they all agree to go forth and attempt to slay the demon, but the deeper they go into the mines, the more the lines blur between gay sexual dreams and gay sexual reality, and every dungeon closer they get to the mindflayer, they have to make increasingly difficult willpower saves to resist raping each other

>It introduced the faggoty idea of character "builds" to D&D. where munchkins spend HOURS min maxing and "building' a character designed to exploit one rule to the point of breaking the game.
As opposed to having very few if any character customization options. You play a fighter. What can you do? Hit with sword. Or perhaps you want to get a little creative. You hit with mace instead!

Also in my experience, most players are too lazy to minmax. When I GM Pathfinder, I often have to hold back a bit because my players don't know how to optimize anything for damage output.

>>520431670
Hey, faggot. They're not gay, they're Dwarves.

>>520451385
Customization and "optimization" leads to characters who are all the same.
For example; most wizards in 5e are gnomes because that is the "optimal" race for wizard.
>When I GM Pathfinder, I often have to hold back a bit because my players don't know how to optimize anything for damage output.
So you have to water down your game because the players made the "wrong" choices during "character customization" ? LMAO

They should've done it like Savage Worlds, where you can take disabilities/disadvantages in return for being allowed to get extra perks. Like they don't let you make a parapelegic, but you can be missing a foot and have a lower movement. Or be missing an eye/have shitty vision and have less sight/lower accuracy.

Which are optional and usable at DM consent. This is stated explicitly innumerable times.

Ah the friends of a friend of a retard who never played that's what I call a reliable witness.

>>520452619
I rolled a character for 3.5 and played one session. I quickly learned that the rule set and the group were not for me. I witnessed their overbloated campaign unfold first hand.
>muh options defense
You were the minority of 3.5. It seems that most groups got lost in splat books and customization and their games drowned in ruleslawyering as a result.

>>520451859
It's not the wrong choice overall. Just not the choice that is good for a crunch heavy game. So I don't run crunch heavy games as often. Give me an optimized character, I'll give you some optimized NPCs to fight. Give me a character that's mediocre at fighting? I'll maybe not use all of a monster's natural attacks on them.

One maximized heightened Fireball will take care of this.
Maybe add a Cloudkill.
Ultimately the DM has the last word on everything, one Sneak Attack attack at the opportunate time and they're rolling a new character. Maybe put their corpse into a bag of holding, or Meld Into Stone for a quick, permanent burial.

Yeah, I know.
My old man was happy to have me in advanced classes, but he was a Fed who worked his way up from being a forest ranger to getting a masters and doctorate in forestry and was well aware of their shady ways.

When I was offered a chance to join the national advanced GATE program with summer classes in D.C. (the same program that Brin & Zuck were in) , he took me aside and told me that I wanted no parts of that indoctrination factory and I’d be better off pursuing my own intellectual interests rather than subjecting myself to whatever MKUltra shit they were doing in there….
Thanks pop, I may not be a billionaire from the connections but at least I still have my soul.

RPG in general is a whirlpool of rejects, nothing of value was lost

Also, that's evidently the town being mind-controlled by the beholder in the middle, these are absolutely wretched creatures and pulling everyone in mind control to feed on their terror as they fuck each other in the ass and make you fingerbang the old lady is absolutely canon plausible
