my first time playing Eberron: we need to gather an army.
other players: -muttering-
me (warforged swashbuckler): -to DM- how much would it take to send a bunch of flyers to all the major cities?
DM: a few hundred gold. ya’ll have more than enough.
me: I want the flyers to say: to all warforged- feeling despondent? restless? want to see new lands? miss a proper battle? come to *port city*. you want a war? we’ll give you one.
DM: -stares at me- -sets down his vape- -covers his face and starts laughing-
other players: -gone quiet-
DM: I’ve been running this campaign for years. seen people pull every trick in the book. this is the first time ANYONE has thought to do that at my table.
me: ….am I the only one that reads the racial histories?
everyone else: yes.
