Standard nonsense here folks, nothing to see. Someone who thought they could "gotcha" an anarchist. You gotta get up about :checks watch: 30 years earlier if you wanna catch me slipping.

Lol you have zero ground to tell me my own table isn't anarchist. I've been doing this for a long time. Go on out of here. I gave you enough of my day.
Go read the Bread Book I linked you instead of wasting our time.
Thank you
Dude, dealing with 5e players is just the worst. I've spent so much time and energy learning how to deprogram them.
3rd edition was a mistake
Nah brother you did the best you could, 12yos are pains in the ass.
Thank you.
I've given a lot of thought to this. I want everyone to have fun, even if its not my kinda fun. But any player's right to do so stops when they make that impossible the rest of us.
I've got a second tho so I'll try:
- it means "no rulers", from Greek. Not no rules. You can't have more than 2 people without some rules, we just want to all be able to agree with them. Anarchists by and large are opposed to hierarchy, that's the focus. We tend to like direct democracy and communal organizational structures.
The stories I tell don't have to be purely anarchist in structure. If im DMing, and we all agreed to the God Curse if you screw over your party, and then one player does - who's responsible? The one with full knowledge of the consequences who then did the thing anyway, right?
Look: as a political philosophy, anarchism exists in the real world. There are people who've done it very successfully. But that's not why I call myself an anarchist. I do so because when I discovered anarchism, I found other people who thought the way I did. I'm an anarchist because my soul is anarchist and always has been. I also think its what we need to do if we're going to survive climate change, but fuck me for trying to convince anyone of that, so I keep to myself.
Thank you. ✊️
I'm not hurting for players. I run my game exactly as often as I want to.
See my other reply re: "no rules"
Also, just read the first chapter or two of this. It's very, very accessible https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread
Anarchism means "no rulers" not "no rules". If we all consent then what's the problem?
IRL consent is complicated by coercion - you can't disagree with your boss because if they fire you, you can't pay your bills.
DND is an asymmetrical activity. One person, the DM, has an outsized level of effort required. If im expected to create a whole world, NPCs, plots, and respond to all your nonsense, I think its totally fair to ask the players abide by a simple code of conduct.
Again, I've almost never had issues.
Absolutely. The GMs got tables to help them determine what's going on - you've got one person. Engage with the setting, not a piece of paper.
And yes, DMs, sometimes that means adjusting your plans on the fly to make what they do have fun consequences. That's our job.
Part of the Nolichucky River visible. Looking south into NC.
Taken to drastically reducing how often and how much I mow. One area is now a de facto butterfly garden. It includes a bird bath I use as an altar to give presents to the crows. We've also got deer (a doe and her two young bucks) and turkeys (a flock with three toms and probably a dozen hens).
Between the Smokies and the Blue Ridge, in the Cherokee Forest (I mean, im not in the park but the forest doesnt stop), not far from the AT. Beautiful place to live, I'm gonna be real pissed off if I've gotta leave.
Bonus critters
Bonus horse. It gets mad and runs away from me.
Dad gamer pushing into endgame on T4 so this is very welcome
Rant incoming:
This is the part in Vessel of Hatred where you fight a series of ghosts while they spam one-shot-kill attacks and it is SO FUCKING BADLY DESIGNED. Some of the attacks are only telegraphed by barely glowing spots on the floor that you can't fucking see because of all the shit around you. Getting past it just felt like luck, I was dodging everything to the best of my ability and just. Kept. Dying.
I took a break from D4 for a while so I've been enjoying all the QOL improvements and such, but my god the difficulty design compared to Path of Exile 2 is just night and day. I'm not crazy about PoE2 but I respect how it respects me. When I struggle on a boss there, it's very clearly always a skill issue that I can overcome.
This? This is just being instantly killed out of nowhere with no hope of avoiding it, just because game thinks my armor number isn't big enough. If that's even my problem. Edit: it wasn't, I had it capped lol
Really fuckin souring my enjoyment tbh. It was one of the biggest issues at launch and it doesn't seem to have improved much.
Ty for your time xx
At least she has some lol
...
......I've gotta get my shit together
...and it's gonna be a bear market... so buy honey, got it
