@JoIn5D You know what, the book doesn't say. So I guess we can just go with Taliesin's explanation.
@JoIn5D You could be 100% correct. I don't know. And I'm behind on 4-Sided Dive. New CR episodes go to the head of my podcast queue. Everything else waits its turn lol

I'll be so glad when we are no longer living in interesting times.
@JoIn5D She could be adopted. I'll have to check the sourcebook.

So this friendly hat made a really interesting video about tiefling character construction. I'll have to keep it in mind the next time I make one.

Conservatives used to say that the liberal mentality was dominated by an unwarranted resentment toward the prosperous and successful. But I've never seen such resentment as is directed against these Bird employees for having a handful of basic perks, like food... or days off...
It seems that the modern conservative ideology is that people who work for other people ought to be miserable, that it's right that they have a terrible time at work, and they should suck it up.
@Greenmtnbear I'm suspicious. What's in this thing?

So let me toss out some #TransJoy for everyone as a palate cleanser :)
I was at our local children's museum late last week with the Smol, and she quickly made friends two other kids who were there. We all sat down for a snack and this happened:
Kid 2, to me: Are you a boy a girl?
Me: I'm a girl.
Kid 2: Your voice sounds kinda like a boy.
My Smol, to Kid 2: My mom is transgender.
Kid 2: Oh. Okay!
Kid 1: My friend has two moms, too!
The kids'll be alright, it seems β€οΈ #TransMom #Parenting

@GottaLaff Fair enough. It's not like there's a way to involve Orange Spite and not have it turn grotesque.
@GottaLaff Now that was a ride through Bad Mental Image Land.
@phase I don't until "Bob" gets my fifty bucks. I'll get around to it eventually...
@OldDude71 His weird nerd fanclub is praising him to high heaven over it, of course.
@darrellferguson I've had two Eclipse Miracleman TPB's since the 80's and that was largely it. I'm so stoked to pick up the story again.
So let's keep our fingers crossed. π€
@Curiousfoolish Nobody gets Sam like Lady Sybil does.
@JoIn5D But being a tiefling isn't really a matter of genetics, though, wouldn't you say? As long as the child is a descendant of the same demonic bloodline, they'll be a tiefling regardless of the other parent's traits.
Have I got that right?
