Thsts not what is being said by the folks saying the player must adapt their PC to fit the setting or campaign though. Player implies that they found out about the game, chose to join the game, and are still choosing to play. If they choose to find a different gm because they are unwilling to...

Id add an exception for explaining common cultural/national knowledge because it comes up fairly often in my eberron games where I'll point out a common bit of (potentially incorrect propaganda sourced) bit of knowledge or attitude towards someone/something/somewhere among those who hail from...

Why is a random post of mine from a couple days ago quoted between 3-4 other seemingly unrelated quotes ?

Sometimes the why is still critical so the gm & player can collaborate to make a PC fit the world. "Let me tell you about my fursona" is how the player who wanted to introduce nightmare fuel involving a romance between PC & the lady of pain came up as a proposal for a past game in a setting...

Psst... while you are trying to dismiss everyone outside the 20-45 age range, I'm talking about a significant chunk of people who are 43-47. I know that it's common for people to say that it's been a long time since math class covered something but I'm sure that you can math out that overlap...

Proving my point. Gap/saddle/micro generations don't generally get slotted into their own grouping even when they are very different from the one they are adding noise to.

Your constant rush to regularly dismiss everyone you think might be ready to collect social security and 4% of their 401k as too old for an opinion on d&d leaves out a fairly significant chunk of customers who don't fall cleanly into any major generational grouping. There's another older one...

How old do you think I am? I even double checked, it was set in my profile for many many years gramps

Riddle me this... count how many dozens of pages have been dedicated to discussing a tie in race linked to an edgy early 80s comic/mid 80s cartoon and get back to me.

That bolded bit is just hyper technical hair splitting by misusing a dictionary. When you pull back from that sophistry there is still the huge problem you've been defending while claiming otherwise. What you keep blatantly ignoring in your zeal to shift the entire burden of making characters...

Since you complain about partial quotes... What happened here? I don't think that you cleared the bar needed to justify that question. You quoted 1190 while asking that ay1190 starts with the words "Tortles don't exist in my world. Why do you want to play one?" Very strip that striked bit...

I skipped 4e but ran and played all the way back to ad&d2e. I don't know what you are talking about because classes didn't work that way back in the old days

Im literally in the process of having cocktails with a friend who has been a friend/player I've made cocktails for before and took that picture of my home bar thinking about bringing it up with the caviar talk earlier. Some of y'all act like you would expect a similarly stocked bar from any...

NO That is not one person working with another person because that is literally how AI gets trained You are placing a human GM in the role of what CGPGrey calls a teacher bot and expecting both sides to function as an ai like described. You are so caught up in shifting all responsibility for...
