Hey uh. You don’t need to go to someone on the internet for validation every time you want to do something magic. You don’t need to ask somebody “can this herb used for this thing?”
“Is it okay if I do this popular thing a little bit differently?”
“Is it weird if I associate this god with this thing that’s not in their lore?”
We’re getting pretty close to having adults who weren’t alive during 9/11, and we really need to admit at this point that the overemphasis on 9/11 in the US is just a propaganda machine to indoctrinate the younger generations into nationalism and to justify all the horrible war crimes the US committed in the Middle East, and the continued mistreatment and distrust towards refugees.
Also remember when we were told that “They” attacked “Us” because they “hated our freedom”? That was some of the most blatant and transparent propaganda that was churned out of 9/11.
So, back story. I’m not the DM, but this was really funny. So, our party was fighting a millipede the size of a bus on the middle of a bridge, and we got it down to 2 hp. Then, our bard had an idea.
BARD:I kill it with knock-knock jokes.
DM: wha- um- oh- do you really want to do that? If you get less than a 16, the millipede will kill you out of annoyance.
BARD: Wait, I can actually do that?? HECK YEAH!!
DM: *sighs* roll a D20 for effectiveness.
BARD: *gets a nat-20*

OOC PARTY: *uncontrollable laughter*
