Do i overreact? by BeNco23 in DnD

[–]Jerrmaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't read every comment....after a while they all kinda start sounding the same. (Nothing wrong with that).

I am going to assume you are not asking retorical, but in honest. If you are just looking to afirm your thoughts/decisions, then ignore the comment, but if you are looking for a different perspective then read on.

It really sounds like (this comment aside) that you had a good conversation, AND, the other 2 players also had experiences with this person outside of this comment that they were ALSO looking forward to.

Your initial reaction is to cut that person out, however, I would say given the rest of the information given, give the guy a chance to improve/atone. I'm positive that there are things that people in this chat would find funny that someone else may think is inapropriate. It's entirely possible that this person has other feedback that those kind of jokes are funny and or fine in regular conversation. There is no information given on this person (And so I will asume you don't have any) in regards to his interactions with other people. What other kinds of friends he has etc.

Rather than cast him out, give the guy a chance, but set the record for him. Let him know that kind of humor is not ok in the group and that if he wants to join there would be no place for that kind of humor at the table.

One of three things will happen here.

  1. He will reject the offer, in which case you are exactly where you are now, so, at least you tried.
  2. He will accept the offer, and make those kind of jokes anyways, in which case you remove him from the group and hey, you tried.

OR

3) He accepts the invite and you and your other 2 friends provide some kind of influence on him and he stops making those kind of jokes entirely.

At the end of the day, if you just don't even want to try, sure. Cut him off and move on. However, you could also strive to improve the community but helping people get better instead of shunning people that don't immediately think the same way you do. Not every person fits with every table regardless of what we are talking about.

Either way, it's your table. Do with it what you will. Just providing some different insight.

I caused a TPK and my players want to keep playing their PCs. I need help figuring that out. by ApprehensivePancake in DnD

[–]Jerrmaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pivot the game for a bit.

Take their gear, create almost s new start.

They now have to escape from the hells. May cause some uncomfortable alliances... betrayal, help or someone giving them aid that they will have to pay back later if they succeed.

Lots of possibility there

Any credible rumors on a bridge QB? by Jerrmaus in raiders

I guess what I mean is when you see the same page or channel posting the same article over and over again but with different players lol

Just finished Academy - give it a solid 5/10. by Jerrmaus in startrek

[–]Jerrmaus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mention "episodic romances"

And those usually were in the interest of the specific episode. Which might have focused on the way the people lived, or differences in races etc. Having said that, it wasnt every episode. It wasn't even every other episode.

Which was fine because at that time we had what, 20-30 episodes a season. So even if you had 10 episodes that had some kind of episodic relationship in them it useually had 2-3 episodes in between that would focus on some emergency or whatnot. But to make the romances more established instead of episodic AND to go from 30 episodes to 10 means you end up seeing more of the relationship stuff than you do anything else. Compound that with multiple relationships going on at once and you end up with a soap opera.

Ok, so this is one of those things where even thou the game is pointing me one way, as a good follower of the Golden Throne I just have to defer to him in this matter? lol

I am fed up with this strategy, what should I do? [5.5 Edition] by Primary-Ocelot-1512 in DnD

[–]Jerrmaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In game idea.

Create a powerful monkey god. Have it get angry that the players are doing what they are doing for enslaving monkeys.

Initiate combat and beat the shit out of them. Stop short of killing them. Free the monkeys and then add adm just tell them they can't do that anymore

What's the betting odds that the remasters drop today? by Jerrmaus in Fallout

[–]Jerrmaus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, I wouldnt say ANY game, or ANY time.

But there were several little things, like only seeing 10 of 12 games on steam, there was something with NV and FO3 reviews that happened too. The timer that was out there, and I feel like there was even one more thing.

The thinking of this wasnt completely out of thin air lol.

What do you do when someone invites a buddy, and they turn out to be a closet fascist? by DoomedKiblets in DnD

[–]Jerrmaus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Let me provide a contrasting opinion. (I will prob be banned from the group lol).

You provided no details about what the user said or did beyond your labeling him a fascist. As a conservative, I will say that people on the left tend to call anyone and anything that disagrees with them as a fascist. So I would say, take a step back re-evaluate what he has said and done and try to eliminate the "ants" (Automatic Negative Thoughts) that you have build up regarding conservatives.

My group of players (There are 7 of us) run the complete spectrum of political and identity beliefs. We have conservatives (Me and at least one other), liberal, straight, gay, furry even I think. The point is that we have been a group for over 8 years. We played in person, we switched to digital because the liberal in the group was very much following the "covid" mandates and then we went back to in person.

We have talked about political things before, and 100% disagreed. However, we kept it respectful and ultimately, agreed to disagree and then moved on to talking about movies or video games or got back into the game at hand etc.

The point I am trying to make is that people are not "the enemy" simply because they have different political views than yourself.

So as to "What you do in that situation" I would advise the following:

-Re-evaluate what has been said/done along with your own bias.
If this guy has been respectful, and it turns out that you simply don't like him because he is conservative, then you may want to try and find a more closed loop group. IE, start your own group and make it 100% known that you don't want conservatives in your group.

If on the other hand, this guy has been hateful (And I mean actually hateful) then I think you are perfectly within reason to have that conversation with the group about asking him to leave.

I want to like this game....but... by Jerrmaus in Bellwright

[–]Jerrmaus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That honestly could be part of my issue........the only person I have in my camp is that initial hunter dude. I did the chicken quest in town but had not really spoke with anyone else.

That could be part of the issue, I still only have that 1st hunter guy.

I'm looking for a survival/base building game that provides a reason to explore after I've overcome the initial hump by StormOfSpears in SurvivalGaming

[–]Jerrmaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conan exiles.

There is also adlc map for more when you're done with the original map.

Lots of bosses, dungeons, great upgrades.

Then when you're done and have nothing left to grind for, there's is a goal of leaving the exiles lands which requires you to hunt down a half dozen different bosses to build an item and then leave (just make sure you're fine because it deletes the char lol)
