...Can someone explain the bear in the Storygames one, though, as I think I've missed something that I feel I should know?

It's making fun of grogs too stupid to understand fail forward.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Halloween Jack posted:

So more modern RPG designs go with the concept of "fail forward." A classic situation that you want to avoid is when the rogue fails to pick a lock, so the adventure just doesn't progress. At the extreme end, the DM actually needs you to get through that door for the adventure to progress, and didn't think about the consequences of failure. Or maybe a significant part of the adventure is just closed off to you, or you have to backtrack, which isn't interesting for anyone.

A "fail forward" solution to the scenario is that the rogue's inept attempts to pick the lock create a lot of noise, which brings a bear crashing through the door. Now the obstacle is gone but we're punished with a wandering monster encounter. (Another solution could be that you get the door open, but spend so long doing it that you expend some torches. Or opening it triggered a trap that costs you some HP or a healing surge, whatever.)

Now, for edition warrior grogs who believe in ideas like "the rules are the physics of the setting," this offends their sense of *~verisimilitude~* because the action of failing to pick a lock has summoned the bear. The setting is changing in arbitrary ways based on the result of a skill check. Interpreted in an extreme and extremely stupid way, this means that I can magically summon bears by sticking a lockpick in a door and fiddling around.

(The original Quantum Bears is a criticism of Dungeon World, where rolling 7-9 means Success With A Cost and rolling 6- means Something Bad Happens. It doesn't really allow for "You failed to open the door so the door isn't open.)

I believe that "Quantum Bears" is a meme from Frank Trollman's TheGamingDen forum. They have a whole lexicon of jargon specific to that forum, and use it so freely that it's practically illegible to anyone who isn't already part of the community. I have no idea how the place attracts new readers, if it ever does.

Alright I got the dang tags, here they are in case anyone wants to pay money to put them in your av, but just hang out and I'll work my way through at least some of the queue tonight! Keep in mind that I update your custom title and then it goes into the queue for an admin to approve, which they will do when they have time, and given what's going on in certain other forums tonight, they might not have time right away.

Your existing tag is tall, so I don't want to stack 4. Do you want something marqueed, or should I get rid of Bad Hombres?
