I've always loved chaotic raccoon tattoos and had this added last month. Love how it turned out

I know it would be evil, but I am so tempted. Please help.

Came across this pic and couldn't help but Meme

Just wanted to share some artwork i made

In a D&D show I watch, there’s a scene where mermaids sabotage a ship using a hand-crank drill. They quietly drill through the bottom of the boat, and when the crew tries to defend themselves, the mermaids swim away, and return minutes later and simply do the same thing again. It’s hilarious in the moment, and honestly one of my favorite bits - but zoom out a bit, and it’s kind of terrifying. Taken to its logical extreme, almost all ship travel becomes a gamble on whether clever mermaids decide they want to sink your boat.

It got me thinking about worldbuilding in D&D. Certain powers, creatures, or items might be fun for a scene, but if you really consider their consequences, they could upend the way society functions entirely, and settings-as-written dont really account for this fact. for example, The power of true names or secret identities; If magic is this dangerous, and names can confer power (scrying, legend lore, ect.) almost everyone would guard their true names zealously, and “identity theft” becomes a magical as well as social concern.

Simple magical defenses could completely change spellcasting. For example, a deployable sheet of leather or fabric could make spells that require line of sight - like hold person - virtually useless, forcing magic users to rethink their tactics entirely.

Even in the real world, small innovations can change everything - not to go dark but drones in Ukraine have led to all roads near the front line being covered in nets to stop them, something that wouldn’t have been considered before.

What other moments from D&D shows or campaigns have you noticed where a seemingly small element, if you think through its consequences, would completely change how the world and its peoples behave?

i believe we ran across this NPC in a Root style campaign we ran a few months back. she was described as a goth frog woman wearing fishnets and i couldn’t help but draw her.. honestly, she came to mind pretty fully formed, except for the feet. what kind of shoes does a goth frog wear? i guess we found out

First of all, mods, if this isn't allowed, please let me know

Tl;Dr - Hired Corey

I got a lot of requests for updates on the last post so I thought I would make an update

After I made my last post, I showed one of my coworkers the character sheet/resume. He told another coworker, and before I knew it half the office was looking over my shoulder at the DND character sheet. This turned out to be a good thing because one of my coworkers knew Corey outside of work through a mutual hobby (not DND). He reached out to Corey and informed him of the mix up. Corey was able to get him the correct resume, and I was able to pass that on to HR.

On my last post I saw some suggestions to bring the character sheet up as an ice breaker. I didn't end up doing this. It was a virtual interview over video call, so I didn't have a chance to print it out like others mentioned. Corey was doing really well in the interview and I felt like bring it up might throw him off his game.

There were also questions on how he applied without a correct resume. I brought this up with HR before the interview. I was informed that we have started working with a recruiting agency to fill some of the positions. In addition to submitting a resume they fill out a questionnaire of some sort. I guess the recruiting agency just forwards any candidate who filled out the questionnaire and submits literally any document as their resume. We don't see the answers they put, just a recommendation based off of them. The recommendation was to move forward and schedule an interview.

I wouldn't be surprised if this process is 100% automatic given that this got all the way to us before someone looked and saw the mistake. We will be contacting that agency to correct this in the future. HR scheduled the interview anyway since this is technically an entry level role. We have hired kids right out of highschool or ones that are on their summer break, so not having a resume isn't a deal breaker by any means.

I also wanted to wait until this week to post the update. I combed through the comments on my previous post. I saw people named Corey comment on it, but I don't think any of them were the Corey that applied. Even so, I wanted to make sure that Corey had an opportunity to receive an offer from us through the traditional channels instead of finding out about it through a reddit post. Even if the results were good, I didn't think that would be a respectful or professional way for him to find out.

Anyways, that's the update!
