Azalad the Black was born to a powerful hobgoblin warlord, but due to an inherited disease from his mother he was crippled. Azalads father only wanted a son to inherit his position, so Azalad was mostly neglected. Due to his condition, Azalad would spend most of his life studying and reading, and quickly became a devoted follower of Bane, and an accomplished necromancer. After attaining enough power, Azalad killed his father as part of a magic ritual that sapped his father’s vitality, curing his condition. Azalad now travels the realms as a necromancer for hire. His black iron armor, forged from scraps mined from the armor of Bane himself, has led to him earning the title of The Black.

He’s become the unofficial party leader. Although the rest of the party is mostly good alingned, they realize that Azalads tactics get the job done, despite how cruel he can be.

He is a Necromancer with the Death Knight subclass (from Valdas Spire of Secrets, a third party book).

Almost done with Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Had a few friends and family members talk about how great the Dragonlance books are, but I grew up reading The Legend of Drizzt books. So far I absolutely love it, and if you play DnD I suggest you get a copy.

I think it’s been in development hell for years, and the only screenshots ive seen make it look like a visual novel. Not hyped for it.

I own a lot of books. There’s a used book store near my house where I get them cheap. Every night before I go to sleep I try to read a chapter.

Vampires, The Masquerade: Bloodlines. The whole vibe of the setting, the story, the locations, and then when I finally understood what the plot was really about. Masterpiece of a game, couldnt stop thinking about it.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is surprisingly good. Surtur’s theme is one of the best boss themes ive ever heard. I also really like using the Battle Brothers ost for my Pathfinder games.

Glad to hear you’re having fun!

That shit pisses me off so much. Im only going cause the boys are going.

Really glad to hear it! Make sure to check out Archive of Nethys which has all the rules for 1e and 2e, and I can provide any books you need as PDFs, just pm me

You could always try DMing! The Pathfinder adventure paths are really great and provide a good amount of direction. If you need any I have them all as PDFs so just pm me (i think lemmy lets you do that)

How so?

I moved over to Pathfinder a while ago cause 5e isnt very good, and im glad that WoTC’s recent decisions have helped people move on and then realize how shit 5e can be.

Wow you guys sound like very good friends. God bless!

Every game after Black and White is copy paste garbage, but everything before that is pretty damn good.

Same. People like to call it a groundbreaking open world game when its exactly like all the others: a big world filled with the same few activities copy pasted over and over.

Perfectly stated. Having this new list of identities is extremely useful and helped me out a lot, but of course its gonna have problems. Trying to sort and categorize human beings is always a problem.

Looking at images online and your description of it, it seems like the game in question.

Its probably a common answer, but “Measure of a Man” from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It makes me hope for a future like that, where people can settle their problems by talking it out and debating, and even change their minds. Whenever I think about what Star Trek is really about, I think about Measure of a Man. Its such a shame Paramount’s Picard show disrespected it so badly.

In my opinion, trying to put titles and classifications on yourself can usually do more harm than good, and this is a good example why. For a little while I was scared that I wasnt “really bisexual” cause I slightly preferred feminine to masculine people. Then I realized that I shouldnt think about it too much and get stressed over things we all just made up, so now I just do what I want. It sucks that people use that “just a phase” argument, just let people live their lives.
