  • The short answer is: Apple collects much of the same data as any other modern tech composite, but their “walled garden” strategy means that for the most part only THEY have access to that info.

    It’s technically lower risk since fewer parties have access to the data, but philosophically just about equally as bad because they aren’t doing this out of any real love for privacy (despite what their marketing department might claim)









  • I had this character in mind for years and finally took him for a spin a little bit ago.

    (Half)-orc slaver/taskmaster. Bard who cracks a whip as his instrument, shouting orders to the party while casting buff spells.

    “Murkub shoves the barbarian towards the enemies and yells ‘get in there, you coward’, casting Heroism with the touch.”

    Thinks he’s the party leader, but has 8 INT and almost always has to rely on his “thralls” (the rest of the party) to figure out what to do next. My way of playing such a domineering character without actually taking over the whole table’s fun.

    “REJOICE, FOR YOU HAVE BEEN SUBSUMED INTO THE WAR BAND OF MURKUB THE HERALD! GROVEL AT MY FEET, THRALL, AND I MAY YET ALLOW YOU TO SERVE ME IN MY QUEST FOR RICHES AND GLORY!”

    -My character’s introduction to the other characters, and also his first words to the boss at the end of the dungeon (casting confusion with the monologue)
