Magic Weapon: Thoughts & Prayers

A lot of you have probably seen something like this before. If you google “dnd magic item”, one of the first things that shows up is a post by @sskyeh (original tweet here) that says…

“D&D item: twin brass knuckles named Thoughts & Prayers that deal psychic and radiant damage respectively”.

Well, people loved that idea and have made a few different versions:

This is my own spin. Grab the PDF version here.

(P.S., if you’re familiar with Old Norse and Futhark Runes, you’ll notice that the engravings on the knuckles are quite appropriate.)

…..this is absolutely fuckin brilliant and I want IRL ones.

Marketing Ideas: Critical Fail

A couple months ago, a buddy of mine went to a local D&D event. The event was large enough that it had some corporate sponsors, including Comcast who provided internet service for the event to promote its Xfinity product.

The marketing team from Comcast decided that one of the best way to spread the word at the event was to pass out free swag in the form of some custom d20 with “Xfinity” on them.

Of course ad space is somewhat limited on a d20 (what with all those pesky numbers and such) so where to put it?

Well it wasn’t on the 20…

…it was on the opposite side.

Now to be fair, I can imagine somebody on the marketing team thought, “Hey, we’re #1! That’s the best right?”

But I just can’t help appreciating the humor of seeing “Xfinity” every time someone rolls a critical fail.

As a piano nerd, allow me to reassure you that the reason that many Classical keyboard compositions sound terrible to you isn’t because you lack the background to properly appreciate them. I mean, you do lack the background to properly appreciate them, but they’re also objectively terrible, and the fact that you need the proper background to understand them is big part of why they’re terrible. They’re so preoccupied with demonstrating the technical skill of the performer that they totally forgot about actually sounding good, producing pieces that are comprehensible only to other keyboardists. And even we don’t really enjoy them – we just play them to torture ourselves, because all serious keyboardists are also masochists.

all I’m hearing is that rolling dexterity for perform (piano) checks is valid.

Associated ability scores for Perform (piano) checks by era:

  • Baroque: Dexterity
  • Classical: Intelligence
  • Romantic: Constitution

#performing modernist music isn’t an ability check at all#you just start making death saving throws#if you don’t get three successes before three failures the ghost of sergei rachmaninov annihilates you with his big meaty claws
