I mean authors don’t see money anytime someone rents an ebook do they? Libraries just need to pay for licenses to the publisher annually from what I’ve read on reddit/Lemmy.
I can understand renting ebooks so that your library continues to fund a digital library, but if the book is available in paper form that doesn’t really benefit the author either.
Oooh I’ve done something similar with Ashardalon’s Stride. It’s incredibly satisfying.
I guess I can start.
We double crossed an incredibly powerful wizard in Out of the Abyss. DM did not expect it at all.
Full Spoilers for Out of the Abyss, which was by and large a not super great adventure, just because the whole first half of the plot was a survival sandbox and then the second half was really interesting but didn’t feel super fun to do a bunch of fetch quests.
Tap for spoiler
Essentially there is a drow wizard who hates others of his kind.
He wants the players to use his plot warping ritual spell, which you collect the missing components for, to summon the Abyssal Demon Princes all to Menzobarrazen. The plan was to let them rampage and destroy themselves while we then went and fought them after the killed each other.
From what I recall there is a magical mcguffin that we had to stash at the top of a tower. The archmage could track the location of this and knew if we did or did not leave it in this location.
About 5 out of game months prior to this, my Sorcadin had picked up Ritual Caster Wizard in an effort to transcribe a BUNCH of spells from like 3 spell books we’ve picked up over the course of the campaign. This was to get stuff like Leomund’s Tiny Hut, Find Familiar, Phantom Steed, and pretty much every ritual wizard spell that existed back in 2015.
One of these spells included Drawminji’s Instant Summons.
So we left the item in the tower, I cast Drawminji’s instant summons and set it as the target (because I also spent downtime finding the expensive 259g Sapphire needed as the component for the spell), and we faffed off to an abandoned myconoid grove to complete the ritual and before completed, summon the ritual item there.
We saved countless drow lives and they will literally never know.
I started watching House again randomly.
Ah yes. You’re from Password1!
Beautiful place this time of year.
Does Firefox on iOS have extensions? I have to use Orion by Kagi to get extensions on iOS.
Sounds like an inside joke to me.
Not my Mittens, cause I keep that fucker inside!
Fair enough. I seem to recall ME3 multiplayer seeing a fair amount of patches specifically to multiplayer to nerf and buff skills and classes.
I thought that would qualify it with the DLC and time limited events like double XP and such that happened regularly.
Compared to games like Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, or literally any random gacha game you can find that would make it seem significantly less like a live service game.
But I do remember new maps, characters, and modes getting released for ME3 multiplayer at least haha. Support was not as long lasting or as frequent as you might expect for the aforementioned games.
I mean Mass Effect 3 had the amazing “live service” of online multiplayer that was an absolute blast.
So it’s nothing new.
I believe DA:I had something similar but it wasn’t something I ever did.
Andromeda has multiplayer too, and it was also really fun but different.
What age would you all suggest for reading LOTR to your kids?
I remember watching the movies when I was around 7 or 8 and the scene with the Urak-Hai hatching freaked me out so bad I didn’t watch the rest of the movies until I was 18.
I was pulling in the Pikachu boosters and surprisingly got myself a Charizard!
Good to know! Thanks! I’ll start using my e-lending app again, ever if that just means I instantly return the book.
