The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I once asked a guy who kept pounding his head into the wall why he did that.

His response?

It feels so good when I stop.

Because eventually either the wall will give way or my head will. Either way, it will no longer be my worry.

That might apply to meat-space, but I don’t think it works quite the same online.

Either my keyboard will give way, or my hands will!

Inanimate object 1. My meat 0.

That is without doubt, in my top 5 all time internet gifs.

No, online it's simply a metaphor

Have nuance and context been killed? I feel like they are dead.

Don't you remember, they got caught in the sorcerer's fireball last session...

In my later 1e DM years I made sure to tell people that choosing to avoid a fight could net them as much experience as the fight, itself. I wanted creative problem solving. Most things devolved to hack & slash anyway

One time the party's spellcasters memorized nothing but sleep spells and we snuck up on a bandit camp while they were all sleeping, made sure everyone was unconscious and then tied them all up - but conveniently "forgot" to search them all - and left to continue chasing the main objective of the adventure...
...Knowing full well that our DM was going to give us the XP for the encounter and then have them escape before we got back to deal with them, so that we could get more XP for fighting them again.

Holy Lord, that thread is off the rails.

“On second thought, let’s not go to that thread. ’Tis a silly place.”

I think I stopped around 6 or 8 back when they came out. At some point, my only question was how many of the three he eventually ended up with.
