[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9773825, member: 93670"] No. Wotc published a mechanic that encourages a no win toxic mindset that the GM lacks the tools to feel supported while addressing it. The fact that it took a [I]former [/I]wotc employee to stop saying they didn't design a certain number of encounters & such rather than simply admit the obvious math needed for this thread only shows how badly wotc has undercut GM's faced with players encouraged to adopt that mindset... [spoiler="example of toxic"] This player(Bob) reached out to me at the request of a second(Andy) who rage quit after simply being told no to a rest before a time sensitive quest after a single [I]one [/I]round encounter [ATTACH type="full" size="1015x824"]419220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" size="1086x702"]419221[/ATTACH] If you are looking at the 13 minutes of timestamps scratching your head about that last line. I ended the previous session with "That's probably for the best" [I]and [/I]told the players supporting him to find another GM when Andy threatened to leave over not getting the rest they wanted.
