The Hobbit has a narrator, who speaks from a "modern" perspective. It describes in the beginning how Hobbits are few now and avoid the tall folk, all that. So I'm fairly sure this is the narrator giving a frame of reference, rather than Bilbo knowing the smell.

Later it is also said that Orcs are cunning inventors of things that kill, including things that kill a lot of people at once.

Not only that, but in LoTR Helms Deeps outer wall is blown up with gun powder or similar.

@fusio I have glasses, thanks.

@darthsid My exact issue here. You can chose lesser scaling options, but it's still... Hurts the soul

@Rooki That'd be great!

I'll want to give King of the Castle a little go, too:

I'll try and make it a bit longer than just 2-3 hours. But with my vacation starting, I am being hit by the tiredness that comes when you can finally relax.

I'll be taking all the naps today!

@ZebraFeatherAH @imperor@lemmy.world

That is very kind, thank you.

@YoFrodo That's the case for passive checks for sure, but I can't seem to find that in the PHB directly.

At my table everyone is free to suggest what skill they might try to use to accomplish something (unless I request something anyway) and I veto or agree, depending on how good their RP-reasoning is or how hare-brained the scheme is.

@humorlessrepost

A good one, but it was actually somewhat complicated!

@Hildegarde Yes. Yes, yes of course. That's the reason and problem! I knew it!

@Coldgoron Challenge accepted!

@BeatrixLegay @imperor@lemmy.world

Really wish they would sometimes. No matter what NPC I introduce, no matter how kind, they'll always assume the worst of them first and foremost.

@Rooki Works!

@Rooki It's certainly interesting, but I am quite honest about wanting some reach.

I got nothing on YouTube (despite having some subscribers) and I am seeing some reach and success on Twitch now. I need some of that to keep me going and coming back.

Not sure if I can multi stream to it simultaneously, but I'll check it out for sure.

@Aqarius the far side is so trippy

@Rooki I'm trying to get more of these standard generic "could be anywhere" type maps out that can be easier dropped in various campaigns.

Glad you think it's a decent map! ;)

@Rooki I remember there used to be an issue with federalization where someone had to interact with someone on certain instances first to... I don't know, federalize properly?

What exactly is sharkey compared to Mastodon and Co.?

@Rooki long time coming, my worries and woes and hemming and hawing were dispelled in yesterday's stream.

Got to try something new from time to time! Or, rather get back on the horse.

@Rooki great! Hope to see you later, the more the merrier

@Rooki no! No early rebellions! Gotta earn your uprising!

@Rooki You can totally rely on the big ones for that one thing for sure.

@damnthefilibuster Yeah, it seems it's not federating properly from mastodon, sorry for that, no idea what I can do about it.
