  • the webnovel Delve on royalroad is specifically about this, the main character is just a neurodivergent dude who gets isekaied to a world with an (artificial) rpg system and through the mystical arts of autistic hyperfocus he figures out how to break the system over his knees and share it with others.

    in later parts of the story he and his friends found an organization specifically to level people up and they have to figure out how to set up the structure to be as democratic as possible while still recognizing the fact that they depend on the few most powerful individuals to make the whole thing work for the time being.




  • literally like half of my diet is just frying some diced potatoes, onions, meat, and (undiced) frozen peas with some spices.

    It’s called “pyttipanna” and is basically the nordic equivalent of fried rice, traditionally made from leftovers and these days i can just buy frozen packets of it (minus the peas) for extremely cheap.

    I think of it as human kibble: i’m pretty sure it has every nutrient you need in a pretty decent balance, it’s cheap and trivial to prepare, and it’s so tasty that i can basically eat it every single day (though some variety is still nice, throw in some pickled beets and a fried egg every now and then at least)


  • at least they explored the power dynamics, like yeah if some people are just mundane, some people can fucking shoot fire from their hands or make the ground swallow you whole, and ONE person is effectively just a god, then it makes sense for a lot of the mundane people to just want this all to stop because that’s fucking terrifying.

    But also there are (were?) things in the avatar universe that mitigate the power imbalance, like the avatars being raised to recognize that they have an extreme responsibility to use their powers wisely, and thanks to the whole reincarnation thing it’d presumably be difficult for the avatar to suddenly become evil since every previous avatar would screech at them and for all we know they could just force the avatar state to send the body to its death and exiting the avatar state just before death.


  • chaotic good fae, bound by their nature to help anyone they reasonably can

    great idea for a paladin honestly:
    No patron, just their inherent nature that compels them to do good and they level up from doing good. Bonus points if they’re slightly reluctant about it, but like it is their nature so they still like doing it but every time they see someone struggling with something they and their party sighs because they have to spend 10 minutes helping out unless they can come up with a good excuse not to.





  • see this is what wizards never tell you about fireball, sure it’s a great offensive spell but uh, what do you think summoning a fucking ball of fire in your hands does to them?

    Be safe, use your fucking PPE. I know it feels silly but i’ve seen so many gung-ho mages with nubs for hands, it’s depressing and it has to stop.
