If you had asked me ten years ago what roleplaying was, I would have given you a detailed answer, likely delving into how it’s an “infinite” game that can go on forever, bounded only by your imagination. These days, I have a different perspective.
In case anyone was wondering, I don't use AI to write these blogs. Since Google and every other AI company are scraping the internet for content and providing text-only summaries, I figured I'd stop adding images to my posts. Making this blog look fun and image-heavy takes a lot of time and attention away from what I want to do, which is posting my thoughts with minimal editing.
These are my opinions and analysis of these spells. I'm not an expert, but I've played an awful lot of D&D over the years, so I think these points are worth considering. This post is meant to accompany the Dolmenwood Player's Book readthrough.
“A piece of sharp, rusty metal dipped in ice cream.” That’s how I came to describe the setting of Dolmenwood after much reading and writing out these readthroughs. While the setting may at first appear to be a fantastical realm of fairies and cute talking animals, in truth, there’s a dark edge to this world that is not always apparent.
