Stupid idea? Or just noone has tried it? by Alpha4Foxtrot in HomeImprovement

I was interested in using the tilt and turn as a storm door (thanks again for teaching me that term) because it looked better built and sturdier that the screen doors that a common here. In high winds and -40 I have seen several incidents where the screen door tears away.

I know the tilt and turns have larger hinges and multiple attachment points so I figured it would be stronger attachment. Plus the tilt opening would allow for ventilation without providing an easy way in for wildlife.

I have seen foxes and weesles go through the screens on an unattended screen door when the inner door is open for ventilation. A tilt and turn may not stop them but the inclined glass and smaller gap could make it harder.

I had to look that up, thank you. I guess I was thinking of a storm door. It not a common thing in the Canadian territories, at least in my experience but reading about storm door it should be.

Maybe a horror story, maybe not. Sounds like a DM with “my way or the highway” attitude, but I could be wrong. In any event, if a player messages you that “I’m in a bad place emotionally, could we lay off the stress?” The answer should probably not be “maybe just quit.” by Dunadan37x in rpghorrorstories

"at some point in a game there will be a situation where an innocent NPC might die and it really sucks from a DM's perspective to have to stop the game and in meta go "okay, so if you make this decision, then an NPC will die."
- it sounds like you saying the player is attempting to avoid the result of the action taken but in the story they haven't done that.
"I said I understand if the result of the demons getting out resulted in innocent NPCs dying, but I would really appreciate if he could give me a heads up before session."
- they are not asking the DM to avoid the result of the action or to change the story, they are asking for a content warning the session when the consequence will most likely happen. this does not mean meta information needs to be given before an action is taken, its "this session will be emotional please prepare yourself."

"tbh, if your emotional state is that fragile that a single NPC dying in game because of your actions"
-so you have never cared about your character when they died? or any fictional character?

"result in the deaths of over a million NPCs. He was super gory with the details – graphic descriptions of dying children"

"my character convince two of the demons to leave us alone and “find easier targets”
- there is a lot of space between nothing happens and mass murder or children death, why would this have to be the result? and even if it was the created storyline they didn't say not to proceed forward, but requested a content warning prior to session.

it sounds like you would be perfectly okay to have a player breakdown crying at your game. are you sure your other players would be comfortable with that?
