D&D General I really LOVE Stomping Goblins

[Crimson Longinus]

Is it just me or is the honest answer for most people for the trolley problem be "panic, freeze and not be able to do anything fast enough to make a difference."

It has been tested, and that indeed is exactly how most people behave.

How Hank McCoy clearly has some animosity toward the Parker family and we'll never find out why?

And Hank seems like such a nice guy! I've always appreciated that even the X-Men generally acknowledge that Parker has always had about as rough a time of it as they have.

I honestly needed half an excuse to list off why Academy X had some of the most enjoyable characters in the X-books. Hellion, Mercury and Dust are all in my top ten all time favorites -- and they weren't even the protagonists.

Yeah, that was a great squad. It's a shame that they've largely been forgotten by this point.

I am FIRMLY in the camp of Orcs and Drows not being the best of individuals at times. Of course, the Drow have a reason for that. The Orcs can have various reasons for being not the nicest of beings. And then ultimately in the end, some people just want to watch the world burn.

or pillage.

or cheesecake.

But Goblins can be Goblins at times.

Absolutely!

Some days, you just want to come home, turn on Doom, and start shooting.

Are you implying that you approve of gunning down the Mortally Challenged?

For shame Scribe! Hand in your BFG badge.

Do I have this right?

It's upsetting, the very idea that some other person might be pretending to be a fictional character who ends the imaginary life of an imaginary creature in a subjectively problematic way...

(a lot of hypotheticals in there)

...as dictated by an ill-defined, ambiguous and hotly debated in-fiction moral framework which may or may not correspond to some degree to any of real-life, constantly debated, modern day, moral frameworks.

(that's pretty meta)

Not that it's nothing -- the idea that somebody else is doing that somewhere in the world right now -- but on my list of things to worry about, I would probably have to rank it well below this:

It upsets me that Batman -- whom I presume would be sane enough to reflect on the consequences of his actions -- keeps locking up villains in Arkham Asylum, from which they will inevitably escape to murder and torture mass innocents, and Batman never seems to learn from this, and if I were to complain about this on a comic book forum a lot of people would sound upset with me.

And even that I would rank well below:

A lot of people enjoy torture porn horror movies, and on purpose, they watch characters on screen being tortured horrifically, mentally and physically, and somehow this is a thing!

The Doom Slayer has arrived...

How many times did Chidi get splattered in "The Trolley Problem" episode?

New Epic Monster:

A Little Girl

Been there, done that. When someone tried to give her a hand, she literally took her hand. Then turned around and said something along the lines of "Hey, there's something in your eye! Oh, it's my finger!" before taking out someone's eye. Fun way to start a campaign.

And then, according to half the people on ENWorld, it turned out she was only doing it because the kids at school kept bullying her because her mom was a Lawful Good demon and her dad was a Chaotic Evil Assimar druid that wore plate armor.
