if you're from the USA, tag what you chose and what general region you're from (don't dox yourself, I don't need to know your hometown or any other security questions), using this map:

I'd also love to know if you were aware of the opposing connotation/definition or any of the various other pronunciations before reading this. I am not the least bit interested in what anyone thinks is ~correct~, only what they use and what they've heard before.

for non-USAmericans, I'm super curious if this linguistic difference exists outside the USA in any way, so I'd love it if you tagged your country as well.

reblog for sample size, you know the drill.

D&D has become so much more fun since it clicked for me that I'm not the character, I'm the writer in charge of the character

If you're the character, bad rolls and bad calls reflect badly on you. You want to Win because that means you're doing D&D right, and if things go wrong, it's because you're doing it wrong.

If you're the writer, your number one job is to do things to your character that the character does not like because that gives them the chance to be interesting.

Me with my oc trauma scenes: wipes tear from eye. "if only somebody loved you"

Oc if they could reached through the planes of existence: deaplan look of bewilderment "you could fucking write someone that did".

Me oblivious to this possible solution: "oh well, guess its time for more hurt no comfort".

Oc screams lf agony fade off into the Background "you have forsaken mee"
