For reals, one of the PCs in my game has an Immovable rod installed in his shield, he'll shield bash people into the wall and then activate it. It's occasionally broken but hella fun, keeps me on my toes as a DM.

Fact: I did not passive-aggressively use the laugh emoji

I am never passive about my aggressive use of the laugh emoji...

One of my 2nd Ed. DMs only half-jokingly threatened to murder me after I used a Wish to get a second immovable rod, and then proceeded to use them (and multiple ropes) to quickly move the entire party through the air across a canyon, bypassing a huge number of threats.

No, no no no no.

I unwatched the damn thread for a reason. I WILL NOT comment again. NO NO NO.

Sigh.

It is amazing thing to me that people who claim to love a game that includes mimic, dopplegangers, and lycanthropes seem to believe that everything is either one thing or another.

Hmmm, maybe the notions of nuance, liminality or simultaneity is the actual fantasy part for them.

But who will taxonomize the taxonomizers?

That . . . that's a really weird definition of that word/phrase. I don't think it means what you think it means.

For them, it's perfectly fine for one thing to have two sides, or two opposite states. Because they can still call it one thing and file it in one well-defined box. But they have a hard time conceptualizing that many things contain enough room within their definitions to hold many noticeably different variations while still essentially remaining the same thing - they personally require much more finite definitions, which leads to them experiencing severe cognitive dissonance when valid interpretations of a thing's definition fall outside of their expectations.

Obviously, the movie is probably too old, but I was always a bit confused how this didn't take off as a popular meme, particularly in forum discussions just endlessly going round and round...
