you never have to do anything to qualify for a feat, you just say it's in your backstory

you shouldn't want to do anything, the optimal roleplaying character is a dour 90s antihero with no family, friends, holdings, or desires and therefore nothing that could possibly be attacked or leveraged

When someone decides to roll to turn you on, you don’t
get to block that move by insisting that you’re straight
(or any other convenient excuse that you’ve got up your
sleeves.) The dice decide whether this sexy person’s sexy
behavior gains them a String on you.

look, roleplaying games are nothing more than venues for long-form psychological abuse and any argument to the contrary is a delusion

Watching 32d20 RATS and SAVE JIM happen was pretty great. Probably the most fun I've had with D&D Next

Playing in that session that was actually really fun and cool.

Also I think basically it shows that rules don't matter too much.

Like, you can use objectively/actively bad rules and still have a good time.
