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

Maybe by the end of this run of poll questions, I can use them to build a "What kind of DM are you?" quiz.

Gamist, narrativist, simulationist???

You're clearly expecting the words you're quoting to mean what you think they mean. They are alas being used in a highly technical, deeply counterintuitive way, so they kinda mean the opposite of that.

You could try asking:
"ENWorld, what is the best in D&D?"
I'm certain that would maximize goodwill and generate warm, fuzzy kumbaya vibes all around! It would also prompt endless Conan the Barbarian jokes.*


* Which is good, because "endless Conan the Barbarian jokes" is, of course, the only proper answer to the question, "What is the best in D&D?"

That breaks the true/false format.
I'd have to frame it to be something like: "True or False: I am what is best in D&D."

What kind of DM?

 

[Cadence]

I'm now wanting to know what the different reactions of customers are when showing up at a restaurant and not finding out they're out of pineapple and pepperoni until going to order, or that everyone gets the same wait person regardless of what seat yourself table is chosen instead of the one at the adjacent table. I don't think those would bother me.

Finding out an ostensibly trainable music service didn't care about my thumbs up and thumbs down certainly would.

Watching people talk past each other in real time. . .

Ooops. I thought I was posting in this thread. Oh well.

Damn. You cut my response off at the knees.

I am an old gamer, which means I recognize four types of gamers: Real Men, Real Rôle-Players, Loonies and Munchkins. As a devotee of the Best RPG of All Time (Spawn of Fashan), I place myself in the Loonie category.

Also, at no extra cost, you will receive our Superior Personality Under Development study guide. Just take a few minutes and fill out the following application.

Shia playing Doug Henning, or a Doug Henning-like character, right?

 

[SubrosaGames]

I'm technically east of St. Louis - in Western KY.

Yes, lol. Unfortunately, even Morganfield KY would still be about 2.5 hrs away.

Until Gradine mentioned it, I seriously thought it was Doug Henning.

 

[dragoner]

So that is where the character in Masterpiece's Press got that expression.

What ENWorld posts feel like sometimes:

OP: "I am new to D&D and am wondering where I can buy dice. Any help?"
ENWorld Poster: "Are you planning to ever fudge? Because if so, why do you even need dice?"
