This really makes me grin, as I've argued these "theological debates" on multiple sides depending on which splatbook I'm into at the time. I've definitely been on both sides of the Caine vs Prime Archmage debate.

Jarl Balgruuf energy.

That’s because mathematicians use log for the natural logarithm. Log base 10 would be log_10

The thing I’d be more concerned with is establishing unreal expectations around sex based on overproduced porn. Like, it’s not a normal expectation to fold someone into a pretzel and jackhammer their ass for 30 minutes.

Do you keep restarting or wiping on fights? There simply isn’t 120 hours of content in a single playthrough of act I.

The good old ~~Narcissist's~~ Tankie's Prayer:

That didn't happen,

And if it did, it wasn't that bad,

And if it was, that's not a big deal,

And if it is, that's not my fault,

And if it was, that's Western propaganda,

And if it isn't, you deserved it.

"Depression is a myth; tidy your room. Also, I've been clinically depressed for my whole adult life and I shamble from one crisis to another."

The Witcher 2, though it’s more of an exploit.

If you get the sword from the Lady of the Lake in the previous game, you start the prologue of TW2 with two silver swords, one being the Lady of the Lake sword. Unequip the Lady of the Lake sword so you don’t lose it to the dragon.

You now have a mid-tier silver sword that is good for half the game. You also don’t need to find a new silver sword at the start of the game.

The 19 that is face up is the check after modifiers are added. Your unmodified roll is 9 and you have a +10 modifier

York isn’t in the Americas. It’s also a former Viking settlement, Jorvik. A millenium later and I’m in the same place, following the same diet of meat and bread.

Please give it a spin if you haven’t already. Game mechanics need not be constrained to die roll plus modifier. Probably my favourite mechanic is that your level of aptitude in a skill is repesented by the size of die you roll. Also, Savage worlds were doing rerolls for good roleplay in the form of bennies for a few years before D&D dreamed up advantage and inspiration.

I also love playing a Huckster in Deadlands. The poker hand mechanic to essentially perform wild magic is ridiculously evocative.
