Widely regarded as extremely pleasant, just not very tolerant of the immensely stupid these days. Just because you don’t have any kind of legitmate comeback doesn’t make your embarrassment my responsibility.

It’s not fudging, it’s setting expectations and following through so everyone can have a fun time. If you act one way for months and then suddenly start blaming them for a TPK because “the system doesn’t have a mechanic for interrupting spellcasters” then you’re just a massive piece of garbage and should write a book because being a DM just ain’t it. People get very invested in their characters and ending it all over that is such a fucking awful thing to do. Frankly, the entire idea that it’s fun to be an evil DM needs to die because too many mouth-breathers forget that being a DM comes with certain responsibilities.

Anyway, we know that a DM or a system or whatever has not planned for every single possible event and cannot just immediately drum up highly complex interactions with the world in ways where every single person can be guaranteed to have understood precisely the same thing from a spoken description. We can’t all pick up on the fact that this dude’s a fire-bug from the fact that he cast a few standard-issue firebolts, and the mage blowing himself up over this is pretty fucking extreme behaviour.

“Play a different system” go fuck yourself, actually.

Sure, and why I put it in quotes. Maybe it’s because I’m in a bad mood, but can I write just one comment on an imagination-driven-TTRPG thread just once and not have to spell out every single detail so precisely?

They may not have. DMs are imperfect, too, and it may not have been communicated. There’s also the problem where D&D is a game and people will have certain expectations. I’ve got our DM to now include the occasional meta note when it comes to changes in how the world works mechanically so we don’t fuck everything up based on previously set precedent.

If the DM had never shown them suicide bombing NPCs and this was just a mage who happened to have fireball(i.e.: not a fire mage) and then went straight to a no-warning TPK then buddy can get fucked. If that setup was in place, then it’s party’s fault. We don’t know this from their comment.

This is literally about whether the word can be trademarked, not about whether it’s a real word or not. You should not speak on language until you have a basic grasp on how to even read one.

I think if you just cast it immediately then you’re a bad person, but if you show them “charging up” for a turn then the party gets to decide their own next steps.

There was a quote I saw recently that said something along the lines of the idea that if your satire becomes indistinguishable from that which you’re satirizing it ceases to be a joke and just becomes more fuel for your target.

Except that it’s very obviously not the same idea as the post. Your great blue friend should practice basic media comprehension before butting into a conversation to talk about themselves.

Being incredibly close, genetically, probably helps a lot. Cancer is just ones own cells that turn into a parasitic mass BUT there’s entire dog STI that’s actually a thousands of years old boneless dog(the dog’s cancer cells) which was likely originally spread through a bunch of domesticated, inbred dogs.

So his immune system’s like “eh, close enough”.

No, they’re correct. People need to be more respectful of others, especially when it comes to things with hard start times like D&D, a concert, etc.

BIG yikes. I hope they find themselves a deep, dark hole to crawl into and never come back out of.

No, they’re clearly Imperial.

Again though, he cut programs that were in motion so as far as we know stuff could have been decently close and is gone now. Also important is the fact that he’s literally a guy who constantly talks and act like prescription drugs are evil and yet is using China having more of them as a good thing for them and a bad thing for his country.

Is he not directly responsible for defunding a lot of the research and programs that would have helped here? Weird that Captain All-Natural cares about having less drugs than China.

Alternatively, with capitalism giving all the power to the richest: “The law is true because I’ll hurt you if you try to defend yourself and I have plenty of class traitors to help me.”

Land is their favourite asset because all they have to do own it and charge you for the privilege of being there.

Ones on roofs are easy, a panel can’t weigh more than a car so you lose a few parking spaces on the roof level and bob’s your uncle. The goal is to reduce car usage so it’s fine. And existing ones are too far away to provide electricity? What? They’re literally beside stores which consume power! Yea I don’t like that answer, it’s dumb as hell.

The pumping idea sounds cool, though, and I’m not against it, but dude I’m so tired of “what if we do nothing because we can’t understand the concept of having multiple solutions going at once?”

Just type “helicopter hog hunting” into any search engine lol

Humans with guns and preferably a helicopter.

Oof.
