Our world through the eyes of a D&D inhabitant

[B9anders]

This Cthulhu sounds way overpowered and I'm not sure I even get this sanity mechanic.

So wait, if I die, not only can I not roll a new character, but I can't even play anymore?

Who would want to play this?

Depends on whether you're using the optional Karma rules or not.

Of course though, you get no choice of race on the next character you roll up (DM's choice only, based on how well you played your last character: anything from a bug to a human). But, even if you do get to play a human again, you have to start out as a 0-level infant.

Ultimately though, you're goal is to come to the conclusion that you don't want to play another character, but would rather DM. This is called enlightenment, and removes you from the endless cycle of character creation.

What's this "going to the bathroom" thing?

LOL!

What do you mean I can't take my weapons into a bar? How the hell am I going to protect myself when the dwarves get obnoxiously drunk and start a barfight?

On the other hand their grappling system seems to work fairly well...

Dude they changed the name in more recent editions to "little people."

Oh, yeah.......Can someone tell me when the next edition is coming out?

I hear that in this edition, they lock you away if you hear the DM answer any of your questions........?

Not always sometimes you get to take the official office PRC.

Things that really break my suspension of disbelief:

Extraplanar travel is expensive, dangerous, and ultimate superfluous, and yet most nations attempt it on a regular basis?

There's only one race, but one hundred lanuages. How does that even work?

Ranged combat is broken beyond belief.

Residuum sits in massive pools deep underground and is controlled by a cabal of small, poorly defended countries who, for some reason, don't control the world.

Clerics aren't granted power fom their gods, and it's heavily implied that the god's don't exist anyway. Anyone care to explain why they have so much political power?

Science is broken beyond belief.

Oh, you must have missed the table on page 346. Attempts at extraplanar travel get you three free rolls on the scientific advancement table! I mean, some of those results suck--freeze-dried apricots, anyone?--but the satellite tech is golden. Just further evidence that...

Science is broken beyond belief.
