YES.

All of it. In my face. I have been waiting for this for over a year. It’s almost here. July.

To anyone who doesn’t know much about this, it’s a girl flirting with a boy using harem tropes in one of the cutest and most real-feeling romance stories I have ever read. This is my straight-up favourite manga, and I am looking forward to the anime.

Is there an issue with these sites I’m not aware of?

I wasn’t a good DM either. But then I learned. I threw encounters at the players I thought might be fun, and I missed the mark almost every single time. But my players had fun, so I don’t see the problem in getting those encounters wrong. And every failure taught me so much more than every success.

If you fail, but you keep it fun and learn for the future, what have you lost? Only your pride.

But some monsters are strong against certain builds and weak against others. Some monsters are stronger in certain environment and entirely nullified by others. Some monsters are stronger given certain allies and weaker when alone.

If you could devise a system to assign monster complexity based on every scenario you can imagine that monster being part of, then either that’s an astonishingly small number of scenarios or an absurdly complex calculation to force on anyone.

I think it’s mostly cowardice, personally. People don’t want to risk putting their own choices into a game based entirely on choices, just in case they aren’t as good. It’s better to use someone else’s decisions than risk your own pride.

Then you have ignorance. A lot of people don’t know how to fill the gaps, and WotC has never bothered teaching them how. Any rules they did get are rules of thumb and aren’t something to use without thought (like CR), so people complain for reason 1 again.

In a single round of combat, a wizard can use a spell to rain fire and bring a max health fighter down to 1 hp.

In comparison, in a single round of combat, a fighter can swing their sword four times and bring a max health wizard down to 1 hp.

So they’re both as good as each other in a hypothetical 1v1 combat scenario which is unlikely to ever come up during an actual game. Bravo. Can we stop having this argument? It’s been 4 months since this exact meme was posted.

This has very “I have tons of black friends” vibes.

Ironically for a post complaining about reading comprehension, but you misrepresented the original post you’re talking about. Even have the classic “quotation marks around a thing that was never said” in the title.

First, and perhaps most obvious, this wasn’t “everyone”. This was one person, and they didn’t get many upvotes. When I recommend a TTRPG, for example, I’m recommending Genesys (like someone else did).

Second, they weren’t saying to homebrew old editions of D&D. They were saying you don’t need to homebrew at all. At most, they said you could reflavour something in 4th edition. Their entire point was that you don’t need to homebrew when you can just find a system that already has what you would have homebrewed in.

Third, they were suggesting this as an alternative to homebrewing specific material into D&D 5e. Pathfinder can provide the experience of “5e with time travel” that you wanted without any modifications. BitD is so different from 5e that it can’t.

You are, however, correct that they did backtrack. I’ll put this down to poorly explaining their argument to start with, as they downplayed the “5e but better” games in their first comment while that was really their entire point.

Personally, I like homebrewing. It’s fun to tinker with the rules and materials. But there’s also an argument to not repeat work someone else has already done.

I feel like it’s accurate to say Texas is completely Texas.

I’m living under a conservative government, so I can’t make any promises on that toast. But I would like to, yes.

Given how you say it’s happening across 43 states, I should point out I’ll be in Britain.

Also, you’re just saying “lets do something” and not saying what you’ll actually do. Your scale is spread thin and your talking points are empty cliches. In the end, you will do nothing.

Edit: Called it.

Human centipede economics.

I think OP might have a skewed opinion of the centre.

Bathos. That’s Bathos. Interrupting something serious to ridicule it. It’s been a trope since the 18th century, and it’s definitely not just a “leftist” trope. It’s also NOT the only type of joke in left-wing media, or the only types of jokes in those specific movies. Most of Deadpool is pop culture references, for example.

Care to give an example of a movie that does this?

Well, my opinion is that, since you defend violent public executions but condemn ridicule of yourself, your respect is worthless. And my opinion is that, since you wrote a lengthy condemnation of the entire website because people ridiculed you one time, you are acting very much like a butthurt individual would.

I know that’s just my opinion, but I also gave reasons.

So, that’s a yes, then. You seem to think that defending public execution gives you a higher moral standing than someone calling you names.

So… You can accept people publically executing people, but people calling you names is a step too far? Am I understanding that right?

It’s a meme because someone said it, because that person is both a christian and a weeb.

Yeah? How else are you supposed to have the power of God and anime on your side?
