A human skeleton CAN be nude, but it's reverse of a living person. The more a skeleton is covered, the more nude it is UNTIL it reaches the point of full coverage at which point it's not nude anymore.

This is why a skeleton knight wearing a full suit of armor is not nude, a plain fully-exposed articulated skeleton is not nude, but a saint's skeleton on display wearing jewels and fancy clothes can feel uncomfortable. It's also part of why zombies with the skeleton partially exposed unnerve us.

A partial or disarticulated skeleton can't be nude. And there are exceptions for parts on a skeleton that are normally unclothed on a living person. So that armored skeleton is not immediately very nude if they took off the helmet. They also wouldn't be more nude if they wore only a helmet and nothing else. However, if that skeleton knight took off just the armor shoes? If they only removed the crotch armor, so the wind whistles through their pelvis? That belongs in a strip club or an art gallery.

I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.

try the cold bathroom water darling its simply delightful

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours

Genuinely confused as to how Mercer got a reputation in the D20 fandom for being a humorless, Rules As Written Robot, inflexible and player-antagonist DM.

Like obviously this is coming from people who haven’t watched him DM on CR but where on earth did the idea emerge from in the first place

In part I think it comes down to the format of the shows: Dimension20 is concerned with making "good tv" so is willing to skip past the minor gameplay steps to get to the big payoffs. They operate in seasons with pre-determined lengths, which is a necessity of their higher production budget.

Critrole however is most like what you'd see at an actual table full of experienced people: the campaigns last as long as they need to so the party spend sessions goofing off or getting tripped up by minor hurdles. They don't edit for time which is part of the charm.

Mercer *is* technically more by the books than Brennan for instance, but Brennan is also just as likely to bend the rules for thematic player failures as he is to reward them IE: "Are you weakest at the shoulder or elbow?". However, accusations of being humourless or player-antagonist are totally overwrought, and strike me as the complaints of people who not only haven't watched CR, but haven't really played all that much d&d.

I don't want to "oh you sweet summer child" these people, but it smacks to me of folks who only started the hobby in the modern era of above-and-beyond storyteller DMs, and know nothing of the petty tyrants of old who'd kill your character at the earliest opportunity to make a point and shame you for missing a session after they mutilated your backup for fun. Matt is SO encouraging and understanding and empathetic to his players, he just shows it through a larger and subtler scale of story than the d20 audience might be used to.
