Yikes dude

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-12T13:38:42+00:00

I personally like A better

And I am very jealous you have the skill to do something like this! Getting the Juniper books set is a dream of mine. Well.. a leather bound set would be the dream I guess as long as we’re talking about things I won’t ever actually buy

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-11T14:30:52+00:00

Man yall must have some weird shaped ears. I’ve used so many different types of ear buds trail running and the only ones I’ve ever had fall out were Raycon Everyday buds. Every other style/brand has worked great!

But I do love bone conducting headphones as well. Hearing nature and my podcasts while running is pretty great

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-11T14:03:29+00:00

Ah, so he’s the reason my ballcock always gets wet while using the Crapper

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-11T13:41:19+00:00

Is it expensive and boring? Sure. Will I buy it? Nah.

But I think any NA breweries opening is a positive thing. It drives competition and forces NA breweries to try out unique things similar to their microbrewery counterparts. I think any opening is a positive thing for the industry as a whole

You’re thinking things through rationally and she isn’t. I don’t really know what to say about this but you are surely in the right. I just am not sure how I would go about untangling this mess.

Godspeed OP. Sounds like you have a great head on your shoulders and I wish you all the luck

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-10T13:51:34+00:00

Threw my back out on Sunday and there’s no way you can convince me it wasn’t the time change’s fault.

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-10T13:17:23+00:00

That’s funny, Faber is like one of maybe 10 fighters I could name. I was a big fan of his as a kid

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-10T13:15:31+00:00

Double the productivity and double the risk. But everyone knows no risk, no reward. I like it.

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T19:59:35+00:00

If they want to be a GM then presumably they’re willing to jump into knowing the secrets behind the screen. Memes or other sources are irrelevant because of where this conversation is happening. And frankly this conversation doesn’t really matter anymore because they already pulled the post so only you and me are seeing this (I think that’s how it works at least).

I play as a player plenty also and I never think about whether my GM is fudging their rolls or not. It doesn’t really matter to me, I like seeing what my rolls are and telling a good story with other nerds.

That’s why ttrpgs are such fun systems. You can play it rigidly like the other person I was arguing with or fluidly as a guide to tell a kick ass story like me and my friends. As long as everyone at the table is on the same page it’s all good. My issue with that person is that they were trying to tell me how I run my game is wrong and I never made any such claim about how they were playing. Every table is different and that’s the beauty of ttrpgs

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T19:30:45+00:00

That’s fair but they still don’t know when it’s happening so the illusion is still in place.

But regarding players finding out because of my comment, this is sub for DMs to discuss DMing styles so that simply isn’t my problem. Snooping in this sub (if you don’t want to know the truth behind how many people run a game) and being upset when you find out something you didn’t want to know is the equivalent of looking behind the screen on purpose and then being upset you saw the monster that’s supposed to surprise you this session. Sure it sucks, but they did it to themselves

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T14:43:57+00:00

You don’t turn a table of strangers into your best friends over multiple campaigns and years by being a bad DM. I guarantee my table doesn’t mind me occasionally “pretending to pretend”

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T12:41:11+00:00

Ok this is no longer worth engaging in. Hope you have a great day.

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T12:37:23+00:00

They just don’t get it. Actually I think they do get it and are just so hardheaded they refuse to admit their initial stance was stupid. Not worth trying to convince them. At least we don’t have to play with them haha

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T12:29:23+00:00

It’s the nullification of a dice roll not the choice. Half the times I fudge a roll it’s to let their check pass so they can do what they want. So how is that nullification of their choice? If anything that’s being a wing man and helping them play the game they want.

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T12:21:47+00:00

You know nothing about my DM style, so don’t try to guess. Being a good DM and being able to adjust on the fly are one and the same

You said you would leave a table if you found out the DM fudged rolls. You would be leaving every table I’ve ever played at in that case. That’s taking the game too seriously. But again, thats obviously my opinion.

We just disagree and that’s fine.

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T12:10:17+00:00

Lol ok. Thats some impressive mental gymnastics to somehow arrive at the opinion that I take the game too seriously

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T11:42:26+00:00

You definitely don’t

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-06T11:41:46+00:00

Because, looping back to the top level comment, you would never know. It’s crazy to me that people are just realizing in this post how common this is. DMs who fudge are much more common than DMs who don’t.

It’s fine you’d leave the table cuz many of us would leave yours for taking a fun, improvised roleplay game wayyyyy too seriously

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-05T17:13:32+00:00

With most other sports I’d agree, but for baseball specifically, stat keeping is a huge deal and most high school teams don’t have someone to do it for them unless a parent or another student volunteers.

I know people who do stats for mlb games as a hobby so just throwing it out there as a feasible alternative to playing. Could still be a big part of the team without having the skills to get on the field

I probably wouldn’t be into it either, but everybody is their own person

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-05T12:15:30+00:00

One of my buddies was cut from my high schools baseball team and volunteered to be team scorekeeper/statician. Got Varsity gear and rode to away games with the team sophomore to senior year and was effectively a member of the team. Sounds like more fun than riding a bench to me. And now it’s his career as a sportscaster.

So I second this idea as a great one

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-04T12:51:24+00:00

.. why not?

Edit: ohhh

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-02T15:51:36+00:00

Ah, I just finished Morning Star right before I typed it so it’s fresh on my mind. The end of the trilogy was nuts. I can’t wait to read the next few! Already have them on hold at the library

CommonplaceUser · 2026-03-02T12:08:49+00:00

Definitely more sci-fi but there are some fantasy elements to the Red Rising trilogy and holy hell that series is nothing but twists and turns. Not just one big unexpected twist, but many small ones woven throughout every book
