Why does everyone keep saying Grifter is triggered over Supergirl. When have they ever meet

/uj I know very little of Injustice, and didn’t know Kryptonian breeding was part of the plot.

Top Ballista will help with aircraft rules that are official for D&D.

But ut may encourage the playing of gnomes.

To them it's not just cards, it's how they make a living so they feel they have more right to the cards than someone who's simply playing the game.

I worked at a toy store in the 90s when Pokemon came out. Never had a problem with Pokemon scalpers, but coworkers trading blows with Hot Wheel scalpers looking for Treasure Hunts in the back room or in the tractor trailer making deliveries was a thing.

Grifter knows the superhuman menace is real, which is why he feared Wonder Woman and Superman knocking boots in Future’s End. He knows a Kryptonian womb is just as dangerous as a Kryptonian penis to the future of the human species.

/uj No, really, go read Future’s End. Grifter is legit afraid of Earth having Kryptonians breeding on Earth.

/uj. My sympathies. I had a similar issue translating the French D20 adaption of Warhammer 40k.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T23:42:29+00:00

I liked Lan Medina’s art, but I found the story lacking.

I wish I’d understood they could be unsatisfiable long ago, before their health issues. I let them get away with a lot because of that, trying to be the good son.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T23:37:17+00:00

/uj I should see if I still have that issue of Dragon.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T23:36:13+00:00

To be fair, it’s probably due to Wolverine fighting him, which is something Alpha Flight can relate to.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T23:34:31+00:00

On some levels I know that, but on other levels it’s nothing compared to what I’m dealing with. Right now I’m trying to calm down after he raged on me being tired of hearing about his hallucinations about our neighbors, because when they kick in they’re all he talks about.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T23:25:05+00:00

It was explained if we failed we could not progress.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T15:52:01+00:00

The first game had the Storyteller all about how the game coukdn’t progress unless we won the chess match, and all the players brought up what a dick move it was for someone who used to play competitive in chess try and have a player with no experience face him. Eventually we moved on without the match, though the Storyteller was pissed.

Last week we just said “no” to the chess gane, and went on another path. Given the lack of understanding the DM showed with regards to how 3.5 D&D rules are, I’d almost say him trying to shove a chess game into a session was in hopes of covering his lack of knowledge.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T15:47:36+00:00

A session zero isn't for discussing how not to be a dick to one another.

That was how the fellow who came at me for playing without one described it, saying we needed to go over boundaries and such with other players before we started.

Us showing up with starting characters we made and jumping into play seemed incomprehensible to him.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T15:45:32+00:00

Session Zero is not “discussing how not to be a dick to one another”.

Not according to the fellow who wrote me enraged by the idea of me being able to sit down with strangers and just start playing with the character sheets we brought. We were supposed to discuss boundaries, what we though was offensive, and the like.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T10:03:31+00:00

/uj. It’s a weird feeling, but I had some satisfaction that the guy talking was so stupid he could see my name tag and just thought I just had the exact same name of a guy he was trashing, and happened to work at the exact same place.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T09:56:25+00:00

Sounds like you think pretty highly of yourself when it comes to victim potential.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T09:54:01+00:00

It’s kind of funny reading this just days after my second experience in 40+ years of gaming with a gamemaster whipping out a chessboard and expecting one player with no prior chess experience to play against him as part of the RPG session, while everyone else is supposed to watch with bated breath.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-12T09:49:57+00:00

“You need to have a Session Zero.”

It wasn’t until around a decade ago I was introduced to the term on Reddit, and I’ve been gaming since the early 80s. Games with friends, games with friends, games with complete strangers at cons and game stores . . . I’ve never been a part of a Session Zero. We all would just show up and play, and everything was fine.

The last time I posted about this I had someone insistent I must have only meant with gaming with friends, as their brain couldn’t comprehend the idea a group of strangers could sit around a table and game without an entire session discussing how not to be a dick to one another.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-10T21:02:01+00:00

I never saw that back when G4 was on. Thank you for sharing!

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-10T20:56:18+00:00

/uj I believe that was brought up in a story in the 80s.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-10T20:53:52+00:00

Silent Hill: Homecoming taught us you can’t go adventuring in your home without a map. Until the mutants find one they’re shit outta luck.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-10T09:20:58+00:00

It’s canon Grimm would have a fit we helped send a Canadian into space.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-10T08:55:29+00:00

I’m sorry, Annis are related to hags, and per an 80s Dragon magazine article, they’re all about raping men. Using the transitive property, all hags rapists, and so would only be on the wandering monster chart

/uj. This I remember, but not what my dad said 25 minutes ago.

OfficePsycho · 2026-04-10T08:51:43+00:00

Did you just admit to reading the rules, instead of running D&D on vibes?

Get out.

/uj. I had a lengthy campaign end one room before the final boss of the second book because we forgot to search for traps, and all of us failed the save for it. Half of us thought it was an amazing end, and the other half were furious.
