Fair enough. Insisting on said contribution sounds just as unpleasant to me.

Faith enough. I never said or meant cartoonish, but I do value the sim and fiction first approaches over the gamist one, pretty much every time I can practically get away with it (and following the warlock class narrative is one of those times). I won't apologize for that opinion.

I have specifically told a GM that, and would have no issue if I received this response from a player. At all. Even if the details in question pertained to their PC.

I would be very interested to know what games you generally run.

How?

I don't see how that doesn't make using a scale at all completely meaningless.

Yup. I was able to figure this stuff out in TSR's day just fine.

Perhaps the NPCs should play smarter. Like show up in, say, a party.

Gary was inconsistent. It is known and I think it can be safely dismissed.

Yup. I'm still playing 5e. Houserules and 3pp or not. We can still talk about 5e together.

I thought we weren't allowed to characterize any part of a game as "lazy design"? Seems a little uncharitable.

Don't we already have Game of Theseus? I've always operated under that assumption.

Really, anyone? They're all liars?

Love to see the DM side of those almost certainly player-instigated discussions.

I noticed how your description of my opinion is substantially less flattering to me than mine. Also less accurate.

Well, that picture is of a women in the modern era.

They had people complain to her about it, but did they actually show anything not working out? Any lasting negatives consequences to her command decisions? Seems to me the show pretty consistently proved her right.

Well, honestly they can have their buttered noodles at another restaurant. I just don't want to run a game with a warlock where the patron is irrelevant. Or any other class with a similar narrative.

Yeah, the name of the technique is very aggressive.

I just watched Thunderbolts last week, and that movie's understanding of trauma is pretty solid, coming from someone with whom I viewed the film who has real experience with it.
