[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8544041, member: 50987"] When something goes wrong* in your game, who or what gets blamed? [B]Me. [/B] It's always my fault, somehow. Seriously, I checked. [B]The Dungeon Master. [/B] They're supposed to be in charge, how could they let this happen? [B]The players. [/B] They are always ruining everything. Does everything have to be a combat? [B]THAT player. [/B]We all know the one. (And if you don't know who this player is, I've got some bad news.) [B]The Core Rules.[/B] They can't account for everything, but we sure need them to. [B]A third-party rules supplement. [/B]We should know better than to trust the Internet. [B]A house rule. [/B]We should know better than to trust [I]our DM.[/I] [B]The dice. [/B] Random numbers, amirite? Don't trust 'em. [B]Bad judgment. [/B] Haven't you ever heard of "retreat?" Does the word "deescalate" mean anything to you monsters? [B]Literally anyone or anything else. [/B]Wizards of the Coast, the cast of Critical Role, Reddit, the d20 mechanic, kids these days, vape pens, whatever [B]Nobody/Nothing. [/B] lol, nobody really believes this but I'll include it as a joke. [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)](In case you couldn't tell, this is not intended to be a serious thread.
