  • I don’t love pineapple on pizza, personally, but you’re ao right that this is just a pineapple hater thibking that the people who do love it would actually give a fuck like they do.

    “I hate you and so you must hate me! Let’s hate this new thing together!”

    “Umm…no I just think you’re weird and ignore you.”

    I very much did not. He was complaining about D&D having spells that made him feel bad and I offered an example of how there’s more to 5e than spellslots to get the job done.

    Do you think we don’t also talk our way out of problems? We do that all the time. I routinely, even with -1 charisma, would do shit all the time to get us out of dangerous fights and solve problems in more ways than “gun”.

    And none of you have even given examples as to why other systems are better so please, do go on.




  • Oh no, we won’t be able to afford houses or rent or save for retirement or- hang on just a second…

    Wait, we already can’t do those things, and the last thing I want to do is, once again, validate the existence of people I would prefer to see in little pieces scattered all over the street for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused just to get a little more money on top of their billions.

    “Wrong, I don’t reward players for being smart so it’s bad!” Dude my group went into town and bought a bunch of fertilizer and other things(because I checked and making explosives actually isn’t that difficult apparently) and that, plus a bomb-crazy dwarf we knew nearby, let us do some crazy damage to a golem.

    You like a certain style of play, fine, but acting like that’s the only way to feel rewarded is showing your limitations, not the system’s.




  • I don’t want to sit here defending 5e but 80% of the complaints I hear about always seem to boil down to “why isn’t the system creative for me?!”. It’s a lot of people self-limiting and then being mad.

    You can instantly create a harder, thoughtful encounter by simply introducing more enemies than just one they can beat on, and/or by doing WHAT THE BOOK SAYS and get the players used to multiple encounters per day so they need to manage their resources. My DM wanted to make fights harder and I simply mentioned that a stronger enemy is cool and all but what would be better is making us have to make choices. I was a stupid accurate fighter and focused on range, and while feats and stuff made me a dangerous close-quarters fighter I was also the only one who could reliably down other ranged enemies. We played up to level 13 in that campaign and there were a lot of fights that were pretty stressful and fun. We even had a tournament arc and that was wild.

    Your inability to create complex encounters is not the fault of the system, especially when the system literally tells you how to make it work and you ignore what’s in the book. But, of course, not reading the material is pretty standard procedure for D&D players.

    There is a stark difference between something we’ve literally observed in nature and claiming that a drow woman would derive sexual pleasure from it. And don’t try and tell me “lol can’t have pregnancy without sex” as if you’re that daft that you actually think that argument isn’t 100% garbage in this case.

    Come on, be serious.
