    And what I saw you post about how you played it showed that you didn't.

    When those people are actively not following the rules, yes, they can be dismissed.

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    I did just go to Itch and did a search for Thirsty Sword Lesbians and it's still there, accessible by search, and I could download it. OTOH, I already owned it; I have no idea what would happen if someone who didn't own it tried to buy it. Or maybe they're only deindexing video games and not...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    There's an unfortunate trend of people to mark anything LGBT+ as being more "pornographic" then it actually is. A heterosexual couple kissing or holding hands is usually considered OK and non-sexual while a homosexual couple is often considered to unacceptable. This may mean that a game that...

    Would I, personally? No. However, if all the planes collapsed into each other, it seems like this would be the one place where plane-touched are incredibly common.

    Do you have any real world examples of GMs demanding complete and total obedience? Because ages ago, I asked you something similar and you had to make up an example? (And then got mad when I suggested compromise between the player and GM instead of the having GM offering a full and heart-felt...

    Because they really, really like dragonborn? I mean, you're probably thinking they're picking the heritage for the bonuses, but some people just really like playing certain heritages for the aesthetics. I have two players in my group who, if they can, will always play some sort of cat-folk...

    And a car is certainly a worse way to travel if you want to really learn about the place you're traveling through.

    But it's not making stuff up out of thin air, which is what you claimed. And you know what? You can figure out why you missed or fell if you are actually willing to do the math. In 5e, a person's AC is their armor + Dex mod + magical or circumstance bonuses. So if a person is wearing chain mail...

    You claimed, way back then, that D&D was bad/difficult for sandbox games because it took too long. Many of us said "So what? We don't mind if it takes a while to set up. We like that sort of prep. It's fun for us!" You refused to accept that. So I repeat: If someone wants to spend six months...

    Uh, no. D&D doesn't go into technical explanations--like, they don't get into the nitty-gritty of hit locations or discuss the exact mechanisms of a trap--but they don't have random things happening for no reason. If something is going to cause the wheels to fall off in a D&D adventure, the...

    I think that the monster roles were mis-named. Solos probably should have been called Elites. Minions are not always the minions of someone else--they're just really glass weapons (not always cannons). There's non-Leaders with leader abilities, and some Leaders who barely have them. There's some...

    The actual point was that Hussar said he could play Fate as a sim game and people would be weirded out because Fate isn't a sim game. When in reality, most gamers probably don't even know what GNS theory is/was, let along what each system is rated using that idea.

    Because you are still talking about preplanning things in a FitD game instead of trying the game as it is actually meant to be played.

    How the cook came to be is unimportant. What's important is that their appearance helps move the story along.

    That's better. You've established a minor complication and given the players something to react to. You're not supposed to commit to something ahead of time.

    And you still would have been factually incorrect because you weren't running the game the way it was meant to be run. And notice here that the results (and those of the second example) directly affect the only PC who made the roll, not the scene or the people around the PC. The PC wanted to...

    I'm well aware of that. But whatever the bard's interests are, is it reasonable that the dragon shares them?
