The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[prabe]

Every single time someone who likes pre-Hickman styles of play posts anything the Hickman loyalists come out of the woodwork screaming about how they’re having fun wrong.

Not everyone who doesn't care for the very oldest styles of play--which I'd lump as dungeoncrawls and hexcrawls--is exactly a Hickman loyalist. Then again, I'm not big on telling other people they're playing wrong, or telling them they don't understand their own play.

That’s fair.

If so, the professor would never admit to it. Likening oneself to a lesser being is simply not done, good fellow.

In my line of work, I am required sometimes to use the royal We. Including with the capitalization, as in "We refer for further details to Our email sent yesterday..."

It's both silly and incredibly gratifying. Die, lowly Law professors, and prostrate yourself at Our feet.

They must feel the way God feels when he gets tenure.

"What the difference between an Article III Judge* and God?"

God doesn't think that she's a Federal judge.

I can and will make liberal use of the "royal we" when circumstances require

I think it's time to go GALAXY BRAINED and break the logjam on this.

People who like real pizza without pineapple?
People who like.... ugh ... pizza with pineapple toppings?

We're going to bring them all together, and make them eat ....

That's right! Pineapple with a pizza topping. Sometime you have to think outside of the box. WAY outside of it.

But why don't the little pizzas also have pineapple on them?
That's what I thought.
Because it's not real pineapple pizza.
You're doing it wrong, you're ruining it for everyone, everything's terrible, something something wizard subclass something, etc.

Do you want to create a recursion error in reality?

I think you get complaints if you have Hickmanist players and a non-Hickmanist GM, or the other way around. I think I agree that if everyone at the table is Hickmanist it's unlikely to be a problem.

I think the fact that we've gotten to the point of using words like "Hickmanist" is a good indicator that it's probably time for us all to put down the D&D books and go play some other game...

Some of us have better uses for pineapple than putting them on pizza.
