Like he's an avatar of every "I reckon..." ever spoken in a pub. With most Tories you know there's at least some performativeness to their blindness to simple facts, but with him I'm fairly certain it's entirely authentic.

The pod has played D&D and I assure you it was as much a clusterfuck as you imagine. I have never said 'no please don't burn down the townmaster's house' so much in a few hours, so the geniuses elected to shove a corpse down his chimney.

I'm still bitter the pandemic put paid to the D&D game feedmegin was organising, I had an intricate backstory for my barbarian that was part Reggie Kray, part Terry McCann, and part Cass Pennant all worked out and everything.

I think he's very much leaning into it (while still also being thick as poo poo) and does it all the time in every interaction so it comes across as an exaggerated version that even those pub bores would find tedious.

All my best roleplaying experiences were over IRC with dicebots (which is pretty antiquated itself these days). Getting around a physical tabletop is too much like hard work.

yeah online rp is the simplest way to get to what role-playing is all about namely being gay and kissing girls.

Since lockdown our monthly in-person D&D session has become a weekly online session through Roll20 and tbh it’s actually better, for helping people figure out bonuses on rolls and especially for not having to find table space for a large homemade map.

gh0stpinballa posted:find it quite funny how extremely online leftists are calling yorkshire a shithole, everyone from there cunts, horrible, wankers etc not a day after they were begging people not to mildly joke about northern secession because london or something. the uk is full of very confused people. justcola posted:Disco Elysium is very good, usually I'm not a fan of rpg's or reading pages and pages of dialogue, but I loved DE. The absolute first section made me question if this was the right game for me, but when you start properly its very funny and made me reflect on my actual, real life. True art! WhatEvil posted:Yeah same. I bounced off Planescape: Torment twice, which is supposed to be the next nearest game to DE.

Our lockdown Roll20 sessions abruptly ended due to a DM meltdown apparently caused by dice rolls being automatically triggered. It was all very dramatic and probably the only lockdown-based emotional wobble I've experienced so it was a shame but also interesting I guess

I don't know to what extent people in this thread who play RPGs follow what goes on in that industry, but fair warning: D&D 5E was designed by a rape apologist who doxxed abuse victims to their harasser. The designer also brought on his rapist friend and an actual Nazi as consultants.

[Everyone fails their roll] Mearls: "Er... um... everyone roll again?" I haven't played an RPG since the BX days, and I somehow still learned how terrible Mearls is just as a designer, never mind his friendships with some appalling toxic shitheads, through forums osmosis.

Yeah that's completely the opposite to my experience it's much much much much more comfortable to play a game and be open with people initially online since if nothing at all else you don't need to worry about your immediate physical safety.
