And I'm stealing that idea for my game, and that one, and this one is cool too ...

Is it nut cake or is it nut cake?

I think I may have responded to the wrong comment with that one, as someone was misrepresenting something I said and my intent was to point out how misrepresenting a statement is bad by misrepresenting another statement. I'm honestly having a hard time finding the comment that I intended to respond to.

I wish I had a pr agent, I'd get in way less trouble with the internet police.

ok, I was being unfair with my single line response. I'll go back, re read it, and actually give a proper response.

I've come to the conclusion that you and I look for very different things in a tabletop rpg. Something of a spectrum, if you will, on one end is maximally role-play and on the other end is maximally game. Everyone's preference is going to be at some point between those two extremes. You lean more towards the roleplay, I lean more towards game. We would not have a good time if we were at the same table, and despite my enjoyment of making fun of playstyles other than my preferred, your table has every right to exist and do things how you want to and my opinion doesn't matter to that.

It's an opinion that I agree with and therefore it is absolute fact and is not to be questioned. Please send all complaints to file 13.

because I love being told "your character knows nothing about subject that you personally are intimately familiar with". Makes for fun game play, I promise.

The DM always has the right to throw curveballs at the players, and screwing with player precconception is part of what makes dming fun.

The player is responsible for figuring out how the setting is different from expectations, and plan accordingly.

"The read-aloud text spend a lot of time descrribing that door-"

fuck yeah we're searching that bitch again. We call that media literacy, and that's a good thing.

In my experience, knowledge checks are for "My character has a high int stat and I can't be bothered to think about this puzzle, solve it for me".

I won't deny that I'm being an ass, but I will point out that the conversation started with the original post effectively calling me a bitch. Me being somewhat of an ass is a measured and proportionate response.

you have no idea how badly I want to play dnd 4th edition.
