Wanting to read about peoples' experiences with the OneD&D playtest material,
but having to sort through pages and pages of "philosophy" "discussion" first:

My favorite parts are the bits that go like this:

"So you're saying that [...]"​
"I never said that. I said [...] because you think [...]"​
"That's not what I said. I said [...]"​
"You said this quote ' [...] ' which means [...]"​
"Everyone knows that's not what that means. You keep saying that [...]"​
"No, the dictionary says [...]. But people aren't saying that, they say [...]"​
"No, show me the quote where everybody doesn't mean that [...]"​

"Well I hate change. So here's a really specific, cherry-picked, farfetched example that--if you squint, and if you assume the worst possible interpretations--proves that it doesn't work. So clearly, you should either agree with me or go play something else. Also, I hate change, but that's entirely beside the point."

Achilles: Look, it's my way or the highway. You either agree with me, Zeno, or you go play something else. You hear me? You're not going to be playing with me, you're going to be playing with yourself.

Zeno: Hey, relax buddy. An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.

Achilles: You know what is going to make you go blind, Zeno? Playing with yourself, which is what you're going to be doing since you can't handle the OneD&D!

Zeno: ......I hate you so much .... so very much.....
 


I’ll say it again

To some people other people are not real.

Of course other people aren't real - they're all just voices in my head... My shrink says so. Or maybe I'm just imagining him, too.

On a more serious note, as someone with a borderline anti-social personality, most people I encounter IRL are basically just background noise to me unless I interact with them personally on a regular basis. People on the internet are mostly just a bunch of beeps and whistles my computer makes.



The particular article in question is a humorist/novelist's explanation in layman's terms for Dunbar's number, which is an actual anthropological thing. Other articles on the site are humorous, but they're generally not factually incorrect. Well, aside from asserting Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer, when we all know it's Elon Musk...

Is it possible for someone's Dunbar number to be fractional?

Heh. The area that I live in has Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Dow Chemical, and a nuclear powerplant all within a ten-mile radius (not to mention a Submarine base and the company that builds the things). A guy with a van and half a dozen rpg's could wipe out southeastern CT in half an hour.
it's pretty much a given that somebody's got a nuke pointed right at us. But nobody's around here is really afraid of getting hit by a nuke, asteroid or any other thing cuz we know that we'll all be dead the second it happens, lol.
