making a new ttrpg where instead of the vague "hp" mechanic, it uses something much more tangible: hd, or hot dogs
@monorail i don't know if you knew this or not but this joke is made more funny by the fact that d&d already has something called hd
@hoppet lmao what is it
@monorail hit dice are a number roughly equivalent to level, with some subtle distinctions. it can be thought of as the number of dice you've rolled to determine your hp
@hoppet ah yeah 5e is mostly what i've played
@monorail and i played mainly 3e and its derivatives
@hoppet sometimes i wonder what happened to 3e. like how busted did it have to be for them to have to publish a 3.5e that everyone only played forever
@monorail they serve a slightly different role in 5th edition iirc so they may not use that acronym anymore
