The Food Analogy

[Deset Gled]

I had one player who told me my description the previous session of (TW: bugs) a cavern absolutely creeping with roach-like bugs swarming over everything ended up giving him nightmares.

I'd argue that's at least in the realm of my lactose intolerance where if I eat something like mashed potatoes made with butter and milk I'll be bloated and gassy for hours.

But it's just an analogy, it's not expected to be perfect.

That's a fair point. I don't think it's the best analogy, but it makes a bit more sense.

@Reynard has been making a series of threads recently about game design, so I was thinking more about those type of preferences rather than content. I still don't believe anybody has had an allergic-equivalent reaction to Play To Find Out, a railroad plot, or rolling under instead of over.

I don't know. I have see some apparent seizures here with regard to that last thing...

If you want to see people having paroxysms about roll over or under - go to the HERO forums and suggest rolling over...

RPGs are like onions. They have layers.
