We need to talk

I thought it was evident.

Um...


God fudges to prevent TPKs?

Not bad.

Ooh, what about: God fudges to protect his Mary-Sues with free resurrection spells?

Or is that too close to the line?

You know, I hate playing D&D with God. He's such a munchkin. His characters are always casting miracle, never mind their character level. I swear his dice are loaded -- too many natural 20s. And I'll tell you, the earthquakes and floods he causes when he rolls the occasional 1 make a real mess of the battlemat. Doesn't get along well with the other players, either -- insisted we kick poor Lucifer out just because Lucifer was roleplaying a chaotic alignment accurately and wouldn't follow God's character's lead.

Qualidar, if you're a 13th level Dungeon Master, watch out -- Waldorf will completely pwn you.

...the Jehovah's Witnesses and they firmly believe that God, which the bible states hates spritism, dislikes D&D.

Interesting. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and I play D&D.

If they hate D&D (. . .)

I don't think they do. I think they hate the D&D. Nothing screams "uninformed" like someone adding in an inappropriate article.

I take it you haven't read the story of Noah lately?

 

[Fishbone]

That was like the ultimate fudge.

Yeah, the DM decided he didn't like the way the campaign was going -- the PCs weren't behaving as he had wanted -- so he engineers a TPK in order to start anew. TPKs are bad enough, but I really hate railroading, so when the DM railroads a TPK, I just get fed up. He wants a new campaign? Fine. I want a new DM.
