I'd say that if you want them to be thematically different, paladins' gods likely have broader aims and probably organised churches concerned with promoting and spreading their religion.

Absolutely. So, I'm lucky enough to have travelled quite a bit, and my immediate thought (which I'm happy to be wrong about!) was that someone from the US or UK posted it. The UK is a cautionary tale to Europe about having a partisan media & education system and the US, well...

I was about to be incredibly derisive about this post (OP - not you), but it neatly describes how sheltered and ignorant people in the West are kept about socioeconomics, how immigration works, and, well, everything...
I sympathise with the laughter. Gotta laugh or I'll cry.

Beats air mattress on the ground 1,000,000%.
Plus, storage.
We use a pavilion, so overhead storage is great, but I'd rather my kit were under the bed than strewn round the tent!

I generally flick through his videos until I vibe with the title and give it a listen. Sadly, I've not listened to his live plays - there's only a couple I really have time for, so I have to be very picky. I tend to listen to Dark Dice and Apocalypse Players.

Real beds are winning at LARP. I miss my bed, it's not been practical since we had kids. Looking forward to building a couple of child-sized beds to take with us soon, but I'll need a van for that!
