What the heck is "Unfun"?

[Raven Crowking]

I answered that already. You snipped it.

"Extraordinary claims" doesn't tell you what extraordinary is, nor does "And the claim that there are large numbers of players out there who want risk-free D&D is pretty extraordinary, considering that risk is built into the system from the get-go."

So, either quote me where you answered it, that I missed, or please tell me what "extraordinary" means in this context.

Wow, I thought mods in this forum has rules against blatant attacks such as this.

While it would be cool to be omniscient, we ain't. If someone violates forum policies, just use the "report a post" button and let the mods handle it. Insulting other posters and calling out other people are definitely against the rules, so if you see someone doing it, let us know.

And Simian, I've removed the part of your post I had problems with. For the future, please don't take personal shots at others, please - and if you see anyone doing it to you, report 'em too.

As is unquestionably your right. For my own part, I apologize for getting aggressive - that last twenty minutes of the work day just stretches on and on, you know? Makes a man a little excitable.

Also, no "n".

D00d, he doesn't believe the sweeping statement that lots and lots of people don't want any risk. This is perfectly clear.

So, either quote me where you answered it, that I missed, or please tell me what "extraordinary" means in this context.

The mind boggles.

Like I said, I answered the question already. I'm not going to do it again.

I guess it's a sense of wonder thing.

Player Characters should die in climatic combat.

Braving the element[al]s, no doubt.

"I really need to hit BBEG, oh Mighty DM. Fortunately, I've got just one arrow left to fire at him...."

Ah, yes. The Discworld RPG.

"What're my chances of hitting him?"

"'Bout 50/50."

"What if I've only got 1 arrow left?"

"Hm. 70/30, then."

"And I'm blindfolded?"

"300 to 1, probably."

"And jumping up and down on one leg while singing the national anthem?"

"That's about a million-to-one."

"I fire."

So long as you've no interest in convincing me, that's fine. For the record though, I'll say my definition of "extraordinary claims" is the best one I am aware of.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Small nitpick. Some will also choose heroicly, probably die and save the party's collective asses in doing so. And those are worthy deaths, fully in character and a good ending for some adventurers.

Yes, that's a good addition to the possible outcomes. Dying in on itself isn't the problem. It's when and how you do it.
