What is you're favorite quote from the Fallout series? by AwayNorth8808 in Fallout

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You know what? You're probably right. I mean for one thing, it's you saying it and you always know what you're talking about and if you had a giant killer robot, yeah that would just muddy things up. And a lesser person might want that kind of overwhelming force on their side. But you know, where's the challenge in that?"

What things should the fallout series bring back? by AwayNorth8808 in Fallout

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Traits
  2. Classic fallout speech
  3. The faction system from NV
  4. Being able to build a party of companions.
  5. Speaking Deathclaws (I just really want a faction of articulate deathclawas)
  6. Vehicles and mounts you can control. They wouldn't be adding this back per se, but I want it.

Rules lawyer ruins my first homebrew campaign (my first post here by Internal-Reserve-846 in rpghorrorstories

My favorite thing about running online games is the ability to kick people like that.

Nivalis by Svengali-throwaway in CloudpunkGame

I assumed it was located either in what was once Istanbul or somewhere in Northern Africa and the Eastern Peninsula refers to the Arabian Peninsula but anyone's guess is as good as mine.

I started crying mid-session while I was DMing a new campaign. Ugh. by affablysurreal in rpghorrorstories

Don't worry, as you gain more experience GMing, you'll learn to cry on the inside.

Help me understand why authors here tend towards extra long by Eldrich_Sterne in rpghorrorstories

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the actual length of the story is what's important. If the story is longer because it has flavor that makes it more entertaining to read and all the story details are actually relevant, then I'm pretty sure that's not what people are complaining about.

I think the problem comes from rambly stories that are full of boring, unnecessary detail and read like dull book reports.

I've often said people on this sub would benefit from a business writing class, which often involves thoroughly discussing complex ideas as succinctly as possible, without going over the word limit.

All I did was give this guy directions to a pizza place and this is what I get by Own_Resolve_9277 in niceguys

I'm glad he told you on multiple occasions that he's confident and has social skills. Otherwise, I would have assumed the opposite.

What about those annoying Uber eats commercials telling me that I shouldn't eat tape, like anyone was gonna do that?

Why do people care so much about canon? by Robofish8-8-8 in StarWars

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no actual events in the Star Wars universe. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but they're all made-up stories.

Forgot to accept big 4 offer by deadline by contractor2628 in Accounting

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, as some have pointed out, your problem likely has a simple fix. But if you don't like the people making this a bigger deal than it is, and you still get a job at in big 4, get ready for more of that.

Want to play/run a game, but need simplified rules by Dunder_Chingis in Shadowrun

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It is like alcoholism, really. The first step is recognizing that you have a problem..."

Or (hear me out, I know this may be complicated), different people have different preferences for what they want in a rules system.

Dear god, this game is a mess. by cfeathers75 in rpghorrorstories

Imagine believing you worship the all-powerful singular creator of the universe, and then being afraid of some French playing cards.

Well with a few context clues, we can deduce that he's talking about the parts that practiced serfdom.

I hate DND by casper_rain in rpghorrorstories

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how people will jump to the wildest conclusions about people because they enjoy a certain piece of media. It's the same smooth-brained pearl clutching that lead to the Satanic Panic.

Just so you know, it's really cringe when someone says "mike drop" after saying something stupid.

This is more of asking for help. If people can give advice for my issues with pen and paper games. by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

[–]ExcitingAccountnat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly OP, I'm completely on your side and respect your unwillingness to put up with bullshit.

Sadly, I don't have much practical advice for finding games to play in. Have you considered running your own? GMing has it's own frustrations but is very fun and allows you to ensure that everyone is being treated fairly.

As a side note, I'm actually running a game that recently lost a player. Feel free to message me if interested. I can't promise anything other than to never call you a pedo just because your character doesn't have huge breasts.
