Humor, jokes, memes about TTRPGs
Image transcription:
I'll start:
Your turn
Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names
i would go with the OSPF Ritual
Power word: Infinite Recursion
Mail storm
Perhaps not that deep "cs" but still :D
Silicium Bug = A insect creature made of quartz.
Gate Array = An ancient holy temple with partially defunct portals of unknown origin.
LUT - A table appears 10ft above your target and falls on it dealing 1d6 bludgeoning.
"LOOK! UP! TABLE!"
By pure coincidence it's also the sounds it makes when dropping on you
Beautiful! It's also a bonus action reaction cantrip.
Private Void NULL
Null pointer sounds like a powerful spell
Lossless Compression isn't actually powerful, its just an improved Lossy Compression which is admittedly terrifying to use in many cases.
So you're saying if I use it... they'll be squished and lose random pieces of themselves?
Shielded Twisted Wire rootkit worm recursive loop MAC address( kinda like a true name i guess) Administrator control
This thread feels like someone half remembering playing technomancers in shadowrun.
Race condition
Physical Layer
Fast Fourier Transform
COBOL
Penetration testing
Tiger Team
Zombie process
Alice, Bob and Carol (some NPCs)
Fortran!
Lossy compression feels like cheating:
Null pointer – sends the victim on a quest they can never fulfill.
Python runtime. Time for you to run from these pythons bitch.
BSOD. Pretty self-explanatory
Agile development. Raises Dex everytime a new enemy enters vision.
Bounds execption: Allows larger objects to fit in smaller containers, ritual spell effective for 1 day, can be upcast to increase amount of "overfill", some check when retrieving the item for a chance of "corruption" (small chance to retrieve a different item, or have the "overfill" become something different like have the outer edge of a bar of gold be meat)
Paralellization: High level time magic, Allows the target multiple turns to be taken simultaneously, but an equivalent cooldown afterwards (waiting for all threads or jobs to return before being able to continue), so 3 turns at once means 2 turns the target can't do anything after.
Split brain configuration: Allows focusing on multiple concentration checks/spells at once. This could also be called paralellization, or multithreaded.
Pass By Reference enchantment: requires two identical items. Once enchanted, changes to one happen to both. Room for all sorts of shenanigans.
Private field: cast on an area to prevent entry/visibility into it by unauthorized entities. Sounds inside are not audible to unauthorized entities outside of it.
Parallelization would make high level casters utterly broken. One of my favorite spells, because I made it for 3.5 edition, and I haven't had a DM criticize the spell, is Unfailing Missiles.
If I could cast three of them in parallel, I would be able to hit up to 9 targets that are no more than 20° arcs from the last target, each with a missile that does 17d (6+1) points of Force/Sonic Damage split 50/50. Or I can use all of those missile on a single target. If I maximize the spell with 3 12th level spell slots, that's 1,071 damage or 119 damage per missile. There's no save, please refer to the name of the spell. This is basically a 9th level Magic Missile. If I see you, I wollop you.
I would then need to hide for 12 seconds. Not particularly difficult if one has a Contingencied Improved Invisibility, or a Contingencied Screen.
Kernel Space - banishes the target to a plane of existence filled with corn
B Tree - an AOE summon of a permanent swarm of bees in the targeted area until the bees all die or leave naturally
Monad - device that transmutes one set of spell components into another. These can be strung together to form very complex things.
Extended Backus-Naur Form - Allows one to transform into a memetic form to be carried in the mind of another; also extends to your clothing and any carried items.
This just reinforces that one short of piratesoftware saying all programmers are wizards.
