I'm currently working on the world-building part of a fantasy universe and my elves mostly use crossbows instead of regular bows. This fits their physiques much better than a regular bow does. Crossbows are under-represented in fantasy. Give the crossbow some love!

And if you don't want to give them muscle - which is fine - then you need to explain how (magic or smth) they can use a weapon with a high strength requirement like a bow. Or, alternatively, you can make your elves *arbalests* instead of archers. Give them CROSSBOWS. Almost no strength required!

To my fellow fantasy writer peeps: Modern bows are designed to compensate for a lack of physical strength. These mechanisms didn't exist hundreds/thousands of years ago, and back then physical strength mattered. The idea of a lithe/skinny elf with a bow just doesn't work - they need muscle.

This was my favorite game for years. From the time it came out right up until I got BG3 it remained my uncontested all-time favorite. It still has a special place in my heart. 💙

I modded this game so fucking much I forgot what game I was playing half the time lmao. Good times!

Got blocked by a liberal coward who didn't want to accept that libs could've bullied Biden and Harris from dropping the genocide line but were more concerned with winning the election than saving Palestinian lives. As usual liberals refuse to face the consequences or criticisms of their actions.

Liberals have demonstrated time and again that they care more about winning elections than actually helping people. There's a good chance Harris could lose because they refused to force her hand and drop the psychotic pro-genocide stance. If my own life wasn't on the line I wouldn't vote at all.

I'm voting for Harris only because I won't survive Project 2025. It's entirely selfish of me. I don't feel proud for it. Liberals could've bullied Harris into dropping support for Israel. They could've bullied Biden to it. But they were cowards and refused. We now have two pro-genocide candidates.

This is the start of the part of the thread about Gazan GFMs that addresses the difference between spam and scam- PLEASE do not report Gazan accounts if you can help it- I’d prefer if you blocked even rather than reporting
