So apparently the whole "should wheelchair users be allowed in D&D" argument is starting up again on a few social medias (mainly tik tok) and I'm just... I thought we were done with this?
Do I have a lot of thoughts on this? Yes. Am I going to talk about them today? No, because I was there during the shitshow that was "mainstream" players finding out about the combat wheelchair homebrew and I really don't want to go down that road again.
Because at the end of the day, if you're against it, why do care? Honest to goodness, if someone wants to play a character in a wheelchair in a game of make-beleive with their mates who are fine with it, what impact does it have on you? Especially if the player is in a chair themselves.
"But it's not realistic to have them in a medieval setting!!!" Ignoring for a moment that DnD (and other similar ttrpgs) are not strictly medieval settings because tech and magic, and that wheelchairs have existed since the 2nd century, in a game where a telepathic squid man can fly through space on a living ship, you can fuck devils and gods, shoot fire out of your face or hands, shape-shift into a dragon, be a robot and make a black-hole with two bags, you're choosing to draw the line at "person uses a chair with wheels and maybe some magic"
At the end of the day, it doesn't effect you. Let people play make-belive with math the way they and their friends want to.

so my friend got me this really cool and high quality D20 for my birthday and in the past, ive had really bad history with dice (i havent rolled over a 12 in literal months on any dice) so i though "hey maybe this fixes my bad luck streak"
Astarion consumes all my thoughts the way he also consume all my blood, so I decided I HAD to do the “Get to Know my OTP” from @valc0 with my little blorbos: Audrielle and Astarion. Please enjoy the sources of my brain rot.
