What’s a good conversation starter? What’s a funny thing that happened in a campaign you’ve played in?
"Can (player name) use some magic to make me look like an anime girl?" -one of my players, I'm not joking this did happen
Why would that help them in any way?
Idk, the players are new to DnD and werent really thinking of any positive effect to it, that player just wanted to look like an anime girl for some reason (they are kinda a memer)
I was expecting something like: “they wanted an army, so they decided to make the prince fall in love with them and give them an army”
(Oh that game you play a lot on roblox, what type of game is it? RP? Combat?)
Yup. RPG, exploration-based. The endgame is all combat. It’s really difficult, though. The combat is skill-based and takes a lot of getting used to, and it’s permadeath — limited respawning, and a lag spike at the wrong time can wipe hours of progress. Actually played it today for the first time in a while — I wiped a lot. It was painful, but also fun.
I’ll stop yapping, lol. It’s just fun to talk about for me.

Don’t stop if you don’t want to, I practically pump quotes no one else knows lol, but I do it since I enjoy it

Thinking about an old race I made, the Gwujad, and wondering how I should rework it. I think I've got the mechanics down, I just need to change the lore a bit. There are some glaring holes that my brother pointed out.

As you said, the mechanics seem well-balanced. Toughness of flesh is strong, but I wouldn’t say it’s too OP.
The lore just seems basic. Celestial warriors tainted by their interactions with demons or devils — it’s been done to death. In addition, the writing itself doesn’t really stand up to the kind of lore you write now. You repeat words and sometimes go for several lines using the same structure in each sentence (such as the third paragraph of “legendary monsters.” (I’m not trying to offend. I mean it more as a compliment — your writing is so good the bar is now raised.)
If it were me, I’d rewrite “legendary monsters” entirely, and use what you already have as a guideline only. The culture section is really interesting — flesh it out, maybe write a little sidebar about some more notable members of the race to then use as inspiration.
Of course, this is your race, not mine. Just some thoughts I felt like sharing.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he does. Drum, Yon, and Hecate all do, or at least they used to.
