Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 8271090" data-attributes="member: 6704184">[USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER] Im sorry. I have also had a terrible day, spending most of it in significant pain and unable to not work because 3 people are out on COVID leave.That doesn’t excuse being rude, however.  I value your input, here and in other threads. I hope the rest of your day is relaxing and satisfying.[USER=22779]@Hussar[/USER] I am very frustrated about our interaction in this thread, and because of that I have been completely unsympathetic to your response to my arguments here. Disagreeing with you about the nature of an argument isn’t an excuse to mock your response to it or to dismiss you as a result. Intentional or not, I caused you to feel belittled. I’m sorry for that. I have never sought to imply that you or anyone else here is a bad DM. My argument has been and is that; <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The claim that heists cannot be done well in D&D 5e is false, and probably so. The proof is simply that not everyone has a hard time running them.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">My theory as to why the difference is that you and I (insofar as we represent to two sides of the debate) have such differing priorities and expectations of both the game in general and of heists (or horror, or naval combat, etc) specifically, that what works for one of us won’t work for the other. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Following from that, I suggest that it is bad form to tell someone that they cannot do The Thing in D&D, without any reasoning or explanation. Not “justification of your experience”, but reasoning.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I will note that most people are more likely to take advice seriously if it comes with some idea of the givers experience with what they’re giving advice on. </li> </ul></blockquote>
