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

Have you all ever thought that maybe you're all just figments of my imagination, and I as the narrator I get to choose who the main character is? Because it is true.

When I contemplate the 'we are a simulation' argument, and before I get weirded out by the concept and begin a spiral into a mental abyss, I do wonder who pressed the play button.

On another topic, I recently went to the doctor for newly diagnosed high blood pressure. Unfortunately, I'm already exercising and making most meals at home from scratch, so the only thing to do, beyond go on medication (I'm on a mild dose now that seems to be working well) is lose weight.

Good lord, I forgot how much I want to murder everyone a few weeks into a committed diet.

I cannot recommend the five minute dungeon creation rules in Grizzled Adventurers enough. The adventures have been completely satisfying and I literally assembled them in the time it took the players to finish filling out their character sheets. I keep waiting for Flatland Games to release the dungeon book they advertised in the back of GA, so that I can have more modules to swap in.

There are so many great books with charts and tables and prompts for creating quick dungeons, encounters, towns, and adventures. Maze Rats, Five Torches Deep, Random Esoteric Creature Generator, Cairn, Worlds Without Number, on and on and on.

Some higher-dimension grad student working on a project, most likely. Or Rick Sanchez. Or Zeep Xanflorp. Or…

It was me.

It was me.

Essentially this is the progression I go through every time.

You might have to find other ways to manage and/or signal your reverse snobbery; I'm sure you'll manage.

Mod Note:

Responding to a provocative post with further rhetorical escalation doesn’t help anyone.
