Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[dbolack]

Weirdly, in over 40 years of playing and running RPGs with lots of people I've yet to meet a single person who's actually good at both. A lot of people online say they're good at both, but I've never actually seen it in the real world.

I'm not particularly good at either.... Does that count?

It's Twitter. There's a pretty good chance it was just two bots arguing back and forth trying to draw others in for engagement.

I've seen too many of my friends' posts on social media to believe the comforting lie that anyone behaving ridiculously is a bot.

Or, as one of my friends found out, a fire ant sting.

Just one, but that was all it took.

I am super lucky here, I don't seem to notice these until the next day.

A Hairy Panther Ant made me blink.

Sure it wasn't a hairy cougar aunt?

Hairy Panther Ants don't have juiceboxes.

Hairy Panther Ants don't have juiceboxes.

This should be on a poster, bumper sticker, T-shirt, or something. A line spoken by Nic Cage? Philosophy texts?

Paraphrased from last weekend's gaming session.

Player: "But....but I rolled a twenty! That means I passed my Persuasion check!"

Other Player: "Dude, we talked about this--"

Me: "You rolled a twenty, yes, which means you got the best possible result. So you propositioned the queen in front of her entire court, she assumed you were joking, everyone had a good laugh, and you get to walk away unharmed."

Player: (visibly pouting)

Me: "You taking the queen to bed was never going to be possible outside of a wish spell."

Other Player: "Come on, dude. She's the queen. You think you're the first bard she's ever seen?"

I'm bad at Charop. The jury's still out on whether I'm good at roleplaying. n_n

Indeed. The level of anti-intellectualism is astounding these days.

True! It hasn't been this bad since the days of antidisestablishmentarianism!
