    GitHub is a private company who could decide to not sell their software to an agency which keeps immigrants in concentration camps if they actually cared about not being racist. Since the company actually doesn't care, though, it just (supposedly) performs some meaningless change, about which snowflake conservatives get all up in arms, and continues aiding in state-sponsored racism and xenophobia.

    BDSM too. No more "Punish me, Mistress". "Punish me female who I allow to have control over me although that doesn't diminish my agency as a human", just won't roll of the tongue as easily.

    Not to mention the description is inaccurate. If it truly was, the Masters would be able to dust their servants with a gesture and the Servants would be powerless to stop them. I think it's painstakingly clear who really is in charge in that arrangement. Only regret is Requiem didn't make the Masters into overpowered enlightened gods like the wizards from LoL were. It made more sense if the wizards summoned heroes to do the work they could've done if they didn't think it was beneath them.

    TIL Github sells stuff.

    I thought their stuff was Open Source/free?

    I wonder if 50 Shades fans will burn their books now.

    A familiar is a servant demon. However, they often killed unworthy masters, such as here: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:A_Tragedy_in_Black

    Doesn't change the fact Servant doesn't really convey the same kind of command as implied. Servants would actually be more like Thralls than actual Servants, since a Thrall can actually serve a master against it's wishes.

    What work are you referring to when talking about Thralls? As for the dictionary definition, it seems interchangeable: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thrall 2a: a servant slave

    TES mostly. Since I rarely dealt with Necromancy when I did play TRPGs, I only know their definition. Servant kind of implies a form of subservience, but I do know that they essentially refer to the same shit: you under my command.

    To me it's the difference between slaves in the old world and slaves in the new world.

    But isn't that the opposite, then? For example, Servants in the Fate-verse do have wills of their own, but a necromancer's Dead Thralls don't. Of course, there are also the mortal Thralls used by vampires, but those don't really count as the undead familiars used by mages, like Fate Servants or Elder Scrolls Dead Thralls.

    May your first child be a masculine child! Wait, that doesn't seem right...

    All joking aside, congratulations, Saiga! Put those accounting skills to use and shower your players with bonuses!
