… and now you’re making wild assumptions just to discredit my point of view instead of making any actual counterargument. I guess even if you were right (and you aren’t) I’ll never learn. Not with people like you around who refuse to explain their side of the debate.

Do an end-run by getting them into Lancer first.

I’m not sure she’s intelligent enough for that (Base spider int) and I don’t have a Familiar link to her, but she’s a protective little sucker

“These enemies attack and initiate as a group, taking a 5% penalty to calculated damage to account for missed hits in the group”

seventh sanctum saved my ass so many times

All well and good in theory, but after bribing a barmaid called “Anon” for a lead, my group have now been directed to talk to a halfling in the corner of the tavern by the name of “Hamas”.

A classic site. Used to use it back in my pathfinder days.

That site has such good tools.

I don’t even play 5e and I use donjon a lot

Do they have contrasting moderation styles? If not, this seems like they could benefit from consolidation.

In his defense, he didn’t try to seduce anyone.

Nothing better than knowing you’re not putting another character in a Bodybag of Holding for a session.

My friends and I once came across what was clearly a pit of spikes (in hindsight), and instead of going over them…proceeded to climb down into the pit of spikes, navigate through them, and climb up the other side. The DM said nothing and just let it happen. Me and the rogue were probably both a little intoxicated (I definitely was). If the barbarian knew, she also didn’t say anything.

So I was wrong on saying it came from an image and was looking into it after but before your comment. Evidently that was the first image to use it but it’s not the first time the joke was said. It was just a text post. [image: 692c10cf-6484-4d21-a33c-28cdf7c1f896.png] Source

Not sure why you are so hellbe This is my first time responding to you ever. Conveniently ignoring that. Seeing clips of something out of context is not the same thing as watching that. I was not ignoring it, it’s just not relevant. And yes. It is a childrens animated television show. It was made for children and marketed to children. Which is why it was made on Nikelodeon and stars a 12 year old. Initially, yes. Which is why the first three episodes suck. After that it’s clearly aimed at adults and the creators aren’t going to suddenly move it to a different network. That makes no sense. You are going mental over a childrens television show. Like I said, this is my first time literally ever responding to you. No one except you is going mental.

On the other hand, we got an absolutely precious scene where the one party member who wasn’t magic-affine and didn’t want to be involved with any supernatural stuff had to ride an unnaturally fast six-legged half-demon horse in order to catch up with the bad guys. Ardo still thinks that we should just leave this whole mess to the sun god’s holy inquisition and get the fuck out of town, thank you very much.

Hm. Haven’t played in a LONG while. Are there still people that play Roleplay games with the objective to win? (or their own consideration of ‘winning’) and now I can’t stop imagining Charlie Sheen playing a minimax character.

but I’d prefer not to be told what I think I am merely going off of what you said. A constant stream of “meh, why not? Fine by me.” seems kind of lame / Giving players carte blanche to warp the world whenever the GM feels like it is lame. The original meme tied the rule of cool to being a good GM. I don’t think that’s sensible. And I think it’s not sensible to follow the rules ad infinitum and never bend them at all. The bending of those rules is ‘the rule of cool’. But there are many other ways for players to contribute, I enjoy using them as a player and a GM, so I listed some. Which is great and all but they’re not compatible. The rule of cool is something in the moment and you are talking about things that are pre-written and pre-planned. You said that it only works if it’s “part of the system” but the entire point of the rule of cool is that it isn’t built into a system. There are no mechanics or limitations for it which is how it can go terribly wrong. But like the title said, in moderation. If you’re openly denying your players to do something cool when there is no downside to it… then that’s just going a shitty experience for the vast majority of players. Best example I can think of is of a friend playing a game where the party was descending down a long pipe. It was low enough that you couldn’t stand up tall but tall enough that you had to crouch only to an extent. Most people slid down on their ass. My friend asked if he could slide down on his shield and the DM said no. There was no reason for saying no other than to stick to an incredibly strict set of rules that were pre-built. Sliding down on the shield would have done nothing other than add fun for him and the potential of things going wrong and adding for more hilarity. Like what if that banging noise alerts someone down there? Or if he fails an acrobatics check and faceplants at the bottom, making even more noise and potentially hurting himself? That is the rule of cool. Obliterating that from a game because it isn’t outwardly laid out in the rules is just not fun. It’s a limiting experience for your players because of an obsession with the rules as written. It’s possible to have a fun discussion about a hobby we share without being unpleasant, so I’m going to assume you just want a friendly chat, and respond as if that comment was respectful. I am not trying to be unpleasant at all and I am sorry if it came across that way. I just feel like you do not understand what the rule of cool actually is and are being dismissive of it due to that misunderstanding.

Thanks, something kinda of clicked for me now, gonna give another try with this in mind
