I Have A Limited View Of This Since The History Channel Made Its Pivot To Reality TV When I Was Still

I have a limited view of this since the history channel made its pivot to reality TV when I was still a child but what I saw beforehand was largely stuff about ancient Greece, Rome, some Egypt stuff, mostly the technology they had, yeah there was some WWII stuff because of course that was a big history event but god damn I still remember that one guy that was on multiple shows who got so fucking genuinely excited about interestingly made weapons. Imagine Billy Maine's level hype for a cool Egyptian sword and it's 100% real joy, that was this guy. I never learned his name.

The History Channel's decay into what it is now really stings compared to other channels bc its theme was so broad. You could technically do a special on the history of anything and it would fit. I mean, I know they once did a miniseries about the history of comic books, and I think one about stand-up comedy? Anyway they didn't have to dive so hard into unrelated reality shows about truckers

But also that's irrelevant bc what counts as a History Show is limited. When you say "history" you mean what King did what in a Old Year. Like famously they were so fucking obsessed with World War II, and specifically Europe and the Nazis (you rarely saw a doc about the allies or the Pacific front), that people casually called it the Hitler Channel. The pre-Ancient Aliens days of History Channel was typically HITLER AND THE OCCULT, THE NAZIS: CHILLING SECRETS, HITLER'S SECRET DIARIES REVEALED, Modern Marvels: Retracting Bridges, DEBUNKING HITLER'S SECRET DIARIES,

even if the fruit is being varied you still want multiple instances of each treatment, saying you're varying the fruit doesn't excuse a small sample size per fruit

So like, are we ever going to get an explanation about this height difference?

Its been almost a whole year and that first image still scares me

Why so tall?

my character is just "what if a goblin was even more of a little freak"

1st-time dnd players:

barely aware of how characters work so doesn't know what not to do

characters often maybe??? possible but really weird ("can I play as a mimic?")

no optimizing, only vibes (A+, love that)

new-ish to moderately experienced players:

exquisitely detailed backstory and character motivation, possibly with a heroforge design that took 6 hours

digging weird feats out of obscure sourcebooks

character name has 5 layers of meaning

very experienced players:

"this is Grumbo Bungus, he's like if a wizard was Stupid"
