LEGO are the plastic equivalent of the direct carbon capture idea! Buy enough LEGO and eventually all plastic will be LEGO! This is a joke but not sarcasm I love LEGOs.
A good DM is both of these. They want you to feel that the danger is real, because higher stakes means the narrative payoff feels earned. They want you to feel like the world is wonderous, so that it feels like a thing worth fighting for.
Player: “I do something to Eric’s character against his will.”
A good DM: “No, you don’t.”
End of discussion.
Are you suggesting my good Mr. Baggins of Bagshot Row, Hobbiton is not a god among burglars?
Centaurworld is a pretty good example of characters being aware of their own animation style as one character slowly transforms between the two.
I think there are different kinds of violent fantasies. I imagine all kinds of violent stuff in an unrealistic action movie kind of way, with exploding heads and disembowelment and all that (I run D&D games lol). I got worried that I might be dangerous. Then, one time I tried to vividly imagine the actual real world consequences of hurting a real person that I knew, and I couldn’t get any further than imagining the pained, betrayed look on their face before I had to hit the eject button. That brief exercise fucked me up for weeks afterward, but it was pretty reassuring. In the long run. I think I’m the schmuck in the horror movie that chokes when it comes down to actually firing a gun at someone and gets killed for hesitating, and honestly I think I’m okay with that.
“Gotta go read The Hobbit” after my dad claimed he could do it in one ‘sitting’.
What game? They’re not playing a game in the image?
I went to my boss to ask for some time off and she reminded me that I had already requested the same days off weeks ago, been approved, talked about plans, then forgotten all of it.
Doesn’t work for me either, despite having ‘show read posts’ disabled.
In my scifi campaign based on Star Control II, all genetic engineering was illegal (one of the primary antagonist groups is a race of blade runner style artificial humans). So of course two of my players teamed up to be an outlaw geneticist and his awakened capuchin monkey. They played it 100% unironically and it resulted in some of the best role-playing it has been my privilege to DM for.
Has nobody ever talked dirty to you? Words can be very powerful, even recorded ones.
I think that varies wildly from one person to another. For me, housework is emotionally exhausting. So is making decisions that affect other people, like where to go for dinner. These are examples where it feels like a bad kind of exhausting. On the other hand, running a D&D game is a thing that’s emotionally exhausting but that I still enjoy doing.
This post has a weird energy. I can’t decide if it reads more phobia or more fetish. Maybe both XD
Speech bubble in panel one appears to be pointing at the wrong character.
I mean…
You’re the kwisatz haderach, Charlie Brown.
A psychopath wouldn’t be worried about whether they’re a psychopath.
My roommate is obsessed with a board game based on his favorite video game, so I’ve been 3D printing accessories and pieces for it and he’s been painting them.
