That is unlikely to be the lesson the players learn… More likely they get frustrated and decide either TTRPGs are not for them, or that the DM “sucks”.

Sounds good in theory, but imo it is SO much harder (and/or so much less fun) to run a campaign when you have less than no idea what the fuck the party is going to be doing next session…

I feel like you gotta know the party a little bit… If they aren’t the type to talk their way out of a problem, then the monologue has to happen from some relative safety instead of within arms reach of the not-paralyzed barbarian. Hold person exists. Magic Mouth. Message. Hell, a big ol’ balcony above the party.

Else you gotta have a back-up plan like fallout where the players get the information from a journal or something - maybe it isn’t as clearly laid out and it’s harder to follow the breadcrumbs but the party isn’t just lost in the wind looking for the next guy to punch.

Did they release an unredacted copy? All I can find is they came out and claimed it was Giuffre… Not nearly as strong of a position if so.

Damn it, it’s been too long and I forgot the name of slow fall… I think that means you won the internet today.

Hope you’re quick on the levitate, cause we are going to summon you off a cliff.

Shit I miss Ventrilo… Setting up custom binds so I could talk shit about the raid leader directly to the other warlock in the group just by pressing a different “talk” button was amazing. And I can still here the push-to-talk notification sounds… When the guild moved to Discord, I died a little inside and didn’t even know it yet. Yea, we have a meme channel now, but at what cost??

Are you the original commenter’s PR agent or something? The original comment is literally whining and playing the victim…

Wat? They absolutely are belittling people that play the game as it is written… You think “play let’s pretend with dice” is not meant in a derogatory way just because they said “that’s fine” after? Even then followed up with basically “you won’t catch me doing that”. Their entire post is absolutely “yucking the yums” of everyone that doesn’t play DnD as a combat only tactical board game.

If you want to play let’s pretend with dice, that’s fine. just be honest about the kind of game that you’re running from the get go so I know not to join your table.

That is the game of DnD, Pathfinder, or really any other TTRPG. What it sounds like you want is war games. Go play that. Just because the only parts of the books you’ve bothered to read/remember are combat rules, does not make that the majority of the books.

I feel like video games calling themselves RPGs have ruined entire swaths of people to what an RPG means. These are games about telling a story, not who can do the most damage. You sound like an awful person to have at the table. You aren’t “being punished for being good at the game”, I’d argue you actually aren’t good at the game because you only care about or focus on one aspect of the game and ignore the rest of it.

Stop looking at TTRPGs as video games, as a means to make big numbers go brrrrr, and (re-)read the core rulebook. You’ll find a lot more of it than you are suggesting has nothing to do with combat when you aren’t looking at it through a lens of “how to combat”.

The picture is of a d4. Dice are measured counting the flats (and therefore possible number of different results) not mathematically defined “sides”.

That’s a lot of cum, even for Ted Cruz.

I’m just saying, his name is spelled correctly right there in the original post… lol

OMG yes. I was trying to figure out how to say that but couldn’t put it into words, but you perfectly put together what I was thinking.

Plus, I don’t know any other system that lets me pull my intestines out of my abdomen and use them like a lasso to climb a cliff when I forgot my rope at home.

The biggest “con” to PF2 is that it is decidedly not 5e, and people expecting it to work like 5e will have a bad time. AC generally hangs within 1 or 2 points for the entire party at a specific level, same for enemies. It is rarely a good idea to just walk up to the enemy and face tank them. Moving around is big for survivability. Synergy with other party members can be huge too. Sometimes that thing you can do doesn’t sound like a big buff or debuff, but if several party members are doing complementary buffs/debuffs it can turn the tide.

I was rooting for Lemon Party.

I read well more than half of this before I realized it was not advice for Cities Skylines. lol

I bet she’d like it if you told her it was racist and anti-trans…

Call the Trumpulance?

Its also coming after elon started tweeting that he would pay people $47 for registering swing state voters in support of trump.
