SEDUCE ME

I love collective storytelling elements as a gm, hate them as a player though – I wanna relax, pretend to be a person and explore the world, not think about what makes a better story.

Blades in the dark which has a similar thing (I think) is fun but not in a usual carefree manner.

Ironsworn in gm-less mode is an extreme version of that

Early 20th century Italian fascists had a popular slogan “Me ne frego”, meaning “I don’t care”.

People don’t really change.

Im not really asking from a power-dynamics standpoint, more as a narrative tool. As a gm I change the world to make what I see as a better story (no cheating necessary I’m literally the universe).

Like, if the players do an ambush of BBE and (according to the rules) one-shot 'em, he’d have a shielding amulet leaving him heavily maimed but alive. Not cause how dare you kill my beautiful npc, it’s just kinda anticlimactic otherwise. (Unless the ambush was a huge challenge in itself. Then we’re good, murder away)

But maybe dnd crowd agrees that stat blocks are implicit part of the game and changing them is cheating idk

I haven’t played much dnd, do people expect stat blocks to be fixed? Like, is meta knowledge such a part of the game that its a dick move for gm to change it?

not rn its low on cyan

I don’t have anything to advise you but you’re braver than me and I’m proud of you getting so far <3

players reading way too much into every random detail: damn so you planned this the entire time??

me who’s still not sure what the plot was: hm? oh yea totally

Look, to live together we have to learn to compromise.

Here’s a list of your friends, cross the ones you like the least.

hmm, how can we monetize this

like I agree about Disney (the company and the man) but can we let people have harmless fun without tracing everything to a corrupt moneyed interest that inevitably has a stake on every single thing in this mortal coil?

They’re not advancing the cause of Disney by dressing as the ratatouille guy, in fact I can negate 10 ratatouille cosplayers just be posting this very nsfw rule34 of the same character, rat included.

(I am also saying it to myself as a person who regularly does this. Being annoying lefty pointdexter, not the disney porn. sometimes disney porn)

Person on the left is calculating every move and winning battles so the other one can be a careless goober (also they’re dating)

Being an ad-driven company annihilated old google. Instead of developing precise and efficient tools (like they used to) all effort goes to convincing users to care about random crap, because the crapmaker is paying up.

As a programmer who enjoys a beautiful solution to a hard problem, this irks me every time I’m forced to interface with google.

I support their journey into systemhood 😌

plot twist: its the same person

awesome rogue like, I have 100+ hours

Same vibe as putin declaring LGBTQ an “extremist organization”.

I’m starting to think executive branch having power to name enemies of the state is a bad idea.
