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

[Ryujin]

I didn't post this in any of the OneD&D rant-threads. But hoo boy, it was tempting.

Wait. Wait wait wait, back up a bit.​

​

Are you telling me that Wizards of the Coast, a for-profit company and subsidiary of Hasbro, is trying to make money? from their own products? Are you--hang on, hang on--are you saying that the only reason they are making this new stuff, is so they can sell the new stuff, to people who want to buy it?! Is that what you're getting at? Are you suggesting that, after spending countless dollars to acquire, build, and promote the D&D brand after it was nearly annihilated by TSR, Inc., that they would somehow want money in return?! WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE, A BUSINESS?!​

Post that and you will have graduated to true Canadian levels of passive-aggressiveness.

Now, under 5E, they went for a more relaxed set of rules, but they're still pretty beefy, and people still love to argue and rules lawyer. I had a player threaten to report me to the convention's RPG Director because I had a barbarian throw a javelin at him when he tried to flee a fight by flying away, as his argument was the barbarian stat block does not include javelins, so they can't have them. All barbarians everywhere use greatswords, because that's what's in the stat block in the Monster Manual.

In 5e? Gee, my 5e Monster Manual doesn't even have a barbarian stat block.

They are statted as Respectable People Connected to Nature and Unfortunately Afflicted with Intermittent Explosive Behavior, Victime of Misjudgment and Misconception Carried Out by City-Dwellers Too Proud Just Because they have Aqueducts.

They are listed as Respectable People Connected to Nature and Unfortunately Afflicted with Intermittent Explosive Behavior, .

I read that three times, and each time I read it as, “Intermittent Explosive Diarrhea”

That’s on brand for the barbarian.

I am the great Cornholio! I am Path of the TP for my Bunghole!

Why do you think the civilized build aqueducts for ?

Is it just me, or does it feel unencouraging when there is lack of commentary from people one would usually expect informative commentary from.

See, the first thing you gotta do is lower your expectations.

Second ... informative commentary? On the internet? I mean, I feel pretty lucky just to find a good poop joke! (See 1, supra).

Third, did you know that there are people that watch over chickens?

Spoiler

That's right. Chicken tenders.


...you're welcome.

If there are rumors of a fox around, and rumors that the chicken watchers have signed an NDA with the fox, then it's kind of spooky if you're a chicken. <Especially if you've seen Babe. >

I just start wondering if the people who would usually post insightful commentary just have the users who are commenting blocked.

Even if I just lazily copied/pasted it from somewhere else?

I suppose you're right. Maybe not non-zero, but certainly subatomic.

I suppose you could say, you could care less about it.
