I thought money came from the little plastic cards we carry around?
No the plastic cards are "free stuff cards". You hand them to people, and you get stuff for free.
People still use those?!? God how primitive.

Imagine my surprise when you have landlords that only accept those little non-green rectangles that have all sorts of arcane symbols on them. You have to pull them out of a miniature spellbook, and they don't even work unless you sign your truename. Seems sketchy.
Reminds me of this line of research which later found that red players have a slight advantage in Halo matches.
Dat’s cuz da red wuns do go fasta!!! WAAAGH!!!

WAAAAGH!
WAAAAGH! can only be justifiably spelt with 4 or more a's.
Heya everyone! I'm EJO, DDB's resident immortal Welsh medieval rat who appears randomly roughly once every week.
I'm not active much, but always up to talk when I am.
I'm known as CptKurn nearly everywhere but here.
Do not ask me about anything I like because I WILL waffle on for half an hour.
I believe the official spelling is only 3.

Top class nerd pedantry.
Question: How would you run a hyper advanced robot who has most of their memories locked to prevent unnecessary energy usage as they have been away from their power source for a long time?

Interesting. Does it know it's a robot? Does it have emotions?
Yes, and yes. Sometimes. I remember writing something about a guy who intentionally wiped their memories and removed their brain, turning them into a servant. That I feel is no longer canon to me.

If they're aware they're missing part of their memory, and they're sufficiently human-like, I imagine they'd feel the way that actual humans with memory loss feel, which is likely sad, frustrated, confused, and scared.
Thanks. This is helpful.

What is your limit on how long a character backstory can be?
Hi, I’m DrakenBrine, here’s my Sig and characters

As a DM, I have no limit. My players tend to make backstories that are a page or two long at most, which normally requires my urging to get it even that long. Normally I recommend a system like that in Xanathar's or Explorer's Guide to Wildemount to create adventure hooks and interesting backstories.
As a player, I like to keep the backstory part pretty short (overview of their childhood/family, early adulthood, and inciting incident in how they became an adventurer). For my recent character I've spent way more time developing his people's religion and culture than his actual backstory. I have a few hundred words for his backstory, and thousands for culture and religion.

I am actually kind of the same, just I have a problem with writing down my ideas.
