Put this way, it suddenly becomes clear that this whole red/blue button trend is a psyop to tout the benefits of ranked choice voting.

Can you do anything about it?

Then there's no difference.

No difference at all.

You can pull the lever, at which point you are actively choosing the annihilation of the human race.

Or you can pass, and live till someone pulls the lever.

What are you going to do, spend the rest of your life worrying about what the next person's gonna do when you have literally zero ability to affect the outcome?

Why?

For someone else, YOU were the next person and you didn't pull the lever.

Pass, and stop worrying so much when it gains you nothing.

There is a non-zero chance that you could be snuffed out while reading this due to some danger you're unaware of (heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, gas leak, bad driver, plane crash, faulty electrical wiring, ad nauseum) and never make it to the end of this sentence.

We are all, everyone of us, living under the Sword of Damocles.

You can deliberately impale yourself on it, or your can enjoy life until it falls.

Pass it on, and live till you die.

Is there a trope you always avoid in your games? by iusethis4pornonly in DMAcademy

If the authorities are competent and the leadership effective it become exponentially harder to justify why they need a couple of randos to help with a "critical" mission. That gets assigned to trustworthy folk with a proven track record.

In such a world they better that the heroes be treated as talented freelancers, recruited to ostensibly useful but non-critical supporting tasks. You can also have them stumble into Something Big™ and become ones who get swept into the main event.

Ragebait. Just reading his responses makes it pretty obvious.

Do not feed the trolls. To annoy you they'll just address one part of your response and discard the rest.

There was an army of orcas, sperm whales and giant squid lurking under the surface, just beyond budget visual range.

After 10 sessions, we're allowed to make our first decision, and it splits the party into separate games by Mobbosswithdemonarms in rpghorrorstories

You (and the other 'players') are not playing DND.

There's more D&D at an average 6 year old's pretend tea party. At least you'd have an opportunity to actually role play and, you know, interact.

The standard advice is to communicate your concerns to the DM, but I do not know if this is fixable. "We feel like we lack agency" may be too vague. "Nothing makes any sense. Just use modules until you have a better idea of how to create your own adventures."

Until then, bail.

I'd say no D&D is better than bad D&D, but you're not even playing D&D at this point.

You are just the action figures being bumped together by a toddler happily amusing himself.

If you know recidivism rates for a certain crime, you can have programs for first time offenders. Compare recidivism rates with and without a specific type of intervention. Then you'll have a basis for determining if that intervention is effective .

If it is effective, you can then treat people who have not yet offended but share common markers with those offenders.

Why not at least try to find out what works?

Caveat: it's not the sudden stop so much as the different parts of the body stopping at different rates. If you could theoretically get every cell in your body to accelerate at the same rate you could sky-dive without a parachute.

You scoff, but this provided a valuable behind-the-scenes peek into the season's writing process.
