My first thought was the DM was doing some malformed pity thing. Obviously you can't let a player fudge a score because my verisimilitude, but getting rid of the ad character through some twisted Kevorkian style mercy killing and letting Tubgirl Cosplay roll up another dude could work. Then I realized that's arguably even worse than the DM being a dick

One of the best campaigns I was ever in had the heroes mentored by the ghosts of the PCs from our last game, which was a 3.0 game (the current game was 4th). Eventually we got tired of being told completely wrong tactics and told them to go away. They were eventually bound to a lich we fought, under the assumption that the noble band of adventurers would never attack their mentor figures. Pretty dumb for a lich, I guess.

A group I played with used to insult bad guys constantly. At least, they did until they were too busy flinging insults to realize that the necromancer had sent his lackey away, not out of embarrassment, but to activate the ritual to raze the kingdom ahead of schedule.

I think the standard 13th Age solution for "How will I ever top this?" is "Throw some Icons at it." I have to say, setting up an economy of benevolence has to be one of the best ways to solve an adventuring problem.

I think it may be that we remember cool poo poo we do in role playing games because it's not just mechanical, but also narrative. War games don't have the same type of investment.

Yeah, that write-up was great but assumes some familiarity with Powered by Apocalypse if not Monsterhearts in specific. Also that infernal owns. (The only thing better would be an Infernal who thought his Dark Power was an Angel, and was right.)

I really don't get the DM's side here, like okay yeah taking off the blankets fine but by the time you realize you've entered the other sort of fantasy just have the guy try to take her poo poo or stab her. Sex Brinkmanship is a strange recourse.

The fact that your friend used your roleplaying game to safely explore their gender issues is actually kind of awesome? I really am not sure what the problem is here. It's a little weird that you feel betrayed, I guess.

QuantumNinja posted:I might be the cat piss guy. D: Thanks for the perspective. Good points all around, now I am gonna go sit in a corner and feel like an rear end for a while... No need to feel like an rear end, by appearances you should be patting yourself on the back for having a table that let your player be comfortable doing things like that. Even if that didn't help them directly with their decision to out themselves ( to you or in general, you never said) it means they trusted you enough to let it out in the game. You have done a good thing. Feel good.

I love that, to see all these points, you're dropping three digits worth of cash in Forgotten Realms supplements. Because that's something everyone is just poised to do, if only there were a good reason to elevate it beyond the impulse buy.

It's only an amusing observation. Made all the more amusing by the fact that you weren't asked! You just jumped in, citations at the ready, to make sure not an untrue thing was said about The Forgotten Realms. Most people don't put that much effort into explaining actually interesting settings. It's cool.

The book does one better in that there are no redeemable characters and yet all characters are capable of redemption. The message of the movie is totally skewed by a bit of publishing butchery when the novel came over to America.

You're actually roleplaying wrestlers, not the characters wrestlers roleplay as. If you're new to the idea it can be difficult to keep things in line.
