    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    So everyone who has ever interpreted anyone else is fixing things? That's an interesting interpretation. Think about that for a moment.

    Humans are complex. Sometimes interpretation is involved.

    Strange thread behavior?

    I honestly thought this meant behaving strange IN the thread. Carry on.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    I find human behaviour fascinating. I'm always curious what people are interested in with these discussions. I often can't relate with these conversations. There are like 8 billion people on earth. It's my guess that more than a few of them are going to disagree with me. Who has the time to...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Would it surprise you that what you say matters just as much as what Mearls said? What outcome are you looking for? He said what he said, you said what you said....you know....more than a few times. The question now is.....what are you looking for?

    GM fiat - an illustration

    I GM for the express reason that i CAN make things up. But i accept that I might be GMing wrong.

    GM fiat - an illustration

    There is an X factor involved in being fair. You can't define it. You have to have an existing relationship with people to experience "fair". If you trust your DM to do the right thing within the context of the game then "fair" means...some for you and some for me. If you don't like or trust...

    The rest of us came to that conclusion 1300 posts ago. 🤷‍♂️ He likes what he likes and you like what you like. Myself, i like ice cream with little peanut butter cups in it.

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    The context that he was discussing HIS play experience and how that motivated him to make his own game. He was not discussing YOUR play experience because it's not likely that he has, is or ever will experience YOUR play experience.

    I was starting to have a crush on you and then you said that terrible terrible thing about pineapple. Now I am rethinking the nature of our whole relationship. ;)

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    I think what's being said is that death and failure are what make HIS play experience have meaning and if you remove those things for HIM then playing has no meaning any longer for HIM. Which in turn would mean that if anyone removes the part of the game that has meaning to YOU, then you are...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    He's saying that removing meaning from play makes playing a waste of time. It doesn't seem like anyone read the whole thing, only the part they want to not like. Removing meaning from anything any one does makes it a waste of time. Even if what your doing doesn't mean anything to anyone else, it...

    D&D General Do you transfer characters between campaigns?

    Back in my day, campaigns fizzled out at an alarming rate. As such from time to time it was not unusual to someone who was attached to a PC to port it over to the new campaign. Since we didn't really play in a "setting" it was easy. Yesterday you were in Mikes game, today you are in Steves...

    I'm not sure what it is your argument is any longer; .....so i'll say good day to you. I hope you find the end result you seem to be after.

    I accept your point of view on this matter. B-)

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    It's not uncommon for people to argue against their own argument the longer a thread lasts. It's the arguing they seem to be after more so than the argument. 🤷‍♂️

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    You have a tendency to truncate quotes. First we would have to have guidelines on what kind of stakes. Are we talking about PC death? Are we talking about PCs never failing any kind of check (including to hit rolls) ever? I'm confident that i could run a game with no stakes at all....it...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Even if someone insists that the way you are playing is wrong....it's ok, because they aren't arbiter of all that is. Someone said something that you disagree with and it got under your skin. That's fine. But now to insist that they clarify what they mean....that seems like you are telling...
