If you're gonna play a character like that, then at least find a group who's okay with it

gradenko_2000 posted:a game necessarily has rules, and if you play a character that sucks poo poo according to those rules, then you're going to be a drag on everyone else because twitter knows the opinion of the other players at this particular table for all the armchair minmaxers on twitter know, the other players find it novel that they have to pretty much protect this character out of whatever reason their characters have to associate with it the hot take is only lukewarm.

I think maybe you should take a peak into the bad gaming experiences thread if you think "negative social consequences" is a deterrent

what, you can play odd characters that are weak/useless. this is clearly a critique of min/maxing

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this person probably mentioned it in a conversation, took flak for it, and went on twitter to soapbox The latter part there is some extreme idiots on social media, but not because they're wrong. Internet Wizard posted:I think maybe you should take a peak into the bad gaming experiences thread if you think "negative social consequences" is a deterrent There's not a big enough for this particular post. I'll leave you to think about how a thread for explicitly bad experiences might be biased toward extreme cases and not a representative sample. loving lol

my DM shared a video of hers before (not in a passive aggressive trying to make a point way, he’d just seen it and liked it) about things players can do to help the DM run the game and iirc it was all pretty non-offensive stuff like take notes on important stuff so it’s not just up to the DM to remember things, don’t be a dick to other players, you don’t need to have a convoluted backstory but it’s great if you have a couple hooks in there the DM can grab and tie into the story. pretty basic stuff

really the argument shouldn't be that "its a game" but "its improv theater with way too many rules"

That person is right and people who get bent out of shape about nerd math improv should stop inflicting themselves on other gamers and the internet in general. just paint the figurines and smoke weed while killing God with your friends

Internet Wizard posted:I think maybe you should take a peak into the bad gaming experiences thread if you think "negative social consequences" is a deterrent That was such a fun thread to read but I had to stop lurking it a few years ago when they combined it with the good gaming experiences thread. Good experiences are just so much duller to read about

When it comes down to any kind of game, the journey is more important than the destination.

if you can't design an amusing and suitable mechanic balanced around the power gap left by the suboptimal stat choices of the player, gary gygax frowns upon you from his dm chair upon mt. celestia, imo
