Bravo. Love the way you described this.

Maybe I just don't think of things in those terms? Why the need to judge and label it? 🙃 When kids play flag football, do you think, "Wow, those kids are really bad"? When you go out to dinner one night and there's a live band. They're good...for a local band. Do you think, "Wow, they're bad"...

Maybe. I guessed 2.5% are "bad" GMs, even though I don't think we even agree on what defines a bad GM. But I'm willing to accept that the actual number of certifiably "bad" GMs might be considerably higher than 2.5%. It's kind of a going nowhere thing to debate, though, because of the...

Ding ding ding!! 🛎️ Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 🐔🍗 I homebrew and house rule a ton, but none of the changes I make fundamentally change the way D&D has been meant to be played. That said, the game has always endorsed and encouraged homebrew, so the freedom is there to change anything about...

It's anathema to me too, BTW. :) I will say, however, that anathema is a very cool word.

Ah, I see what you did there! TGIF, my winged Cthulian cherub friend. 🥳

Finally! We've reached consensus!!! (Kidding! Only kidding. 😁)

TGIF, everyone!! Hope you have a splendiferous day. We're blessed to have the luxury to gather here and discuss games, merriment and other frivolity. 😄🥳🍺🍷 Yes, many of us enjoy arguments (it's true). Many of us enjoy feeling "smart" too (<insert zinger here!>). It's a distraction from the...

Well clearly yes, I think it's safe to conclude that for some of us on this thread, 1 in 5 DMs are bad is a contentious take. Next question please.

Unscientific polls don't account for anything either. They don't adjust for errors, time of day, time of year, manipulation or literally anything else that can skew the results. Their results mean next to nothing. Fun for discussion though. My hot take is that some folks are simply harder to...

I know! The nerve of some people, interpreting words differently. It's as if sentences and paragraphs can mean different things to different people, which is preposterous....

Bravo. Well said. 👏

Agreed. They're astronomically popular, and their players have a geat time, but I agree insofar as their styles aren't my cup of tea. Too much exposition, not enough action. But I would never dream of characterizing any of them as bad. They're all fantanstic GMs, just not the ideal styles for me.

Uh, yes. I honestly believe that fewer than 25% of miniature painters are bad. I mean, just based on the fact that a miniature person is even able to hold a paint brush is amazing to me.... (It's just a game. 🤗)

If that's true it isn't D&D's fault.
