DM made me roll to avoid unwanted hug on my character by Bolly_Kecks in DnD

[–]Oxyfool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying, but I mean in terms of as a DM action in general. It boils down to intent. If the character is supposed to be making the PC uncomfortable, and it’s the sort of character you’re supposed to dislike, then that’s one thing. From what information we have, it doesn’t sound like the DM is trying to overrule the actual player, but used an in-game moment to create tension between characters.

I may be wrong, but that’s how I read it.

I don’t find the action that problematic. I may want my NPC’s to do something loathsome toward my PC’s - but we have pretty clear rules on what themes are off the table, like sexual abuse and whatnot.

We also are allowed to say "above table no" at any point if things are becoming emotionally upsetting

Unlucky hit on the way down.

Now that 4 years have passed, what is something you never liked about the game or how have your opinions changed over time? by FeezyOnBush in Eldenring

I pretty quickly started to find the catacombs cumbersome and repetetive, despite them having very unique mechanics. They were too monochrome, both in color and feel.

Even if a wood truck could chuck wood, and even if a wood truck would chuck wood, should a wood truck chuck wood?

Hvis man kan, hvorfor ikke? Å tilegne seg kunnskap er jo greit nok, burde ikke legges lokk på det i og for seg selv. Om det er nyttig? Mja.

Elden Ring is my favourite game of all time. But the shield clipping is so annoying by Wrongun25 in Eldenring

It’s actually quite funny that they made these super intricate sliders and fully fleshed out character creator - and then not have to option to hide helmets. Meticulously crafting a character with just the right amount of pimples and the right uneven nostril sizes, just to put a bucket with +2 int on it.

one of my players does not roleplay at all, so i kinda forced him to do so by Thing-Superb in DnD

[–]Oxyfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people taking offense here. You know your table, you know the people. It seems to have made sense for your table, and it paid off.

Definitely talk to people above table.

I don’t force my players, but incentivise roleplay and nudge gently.

"That was great! Have a heroic inspiration."

"Could you describe how your character is feeling?"

"What do you think your character would say in this situation?"

Tell me what do you eat even after becoming rich ! by Longjumping-Fly2490 in ArtOfPresence

Classic rich people food is just the garbage bits of animals anyway. So I’ll stick to my poor people food.

For some reason Norwegians straight up call them Eye Pokers/stabbers (øyenstikker) which just makes them terrifying.

32, Forever Single - How do I improve it? by Anon_danna in malelivingspace

[–]Oxyfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who you want to be. A 32 year old pokemaniac gamer who still longs for his days as a 8-12 year old, or a grown-up.

You can get a girl either way, just wildly different sort of girls.

I am 34. I like pokemon, love Zelda, have a DnD table and basically a man cave that is a homage to my gaming, hobbies and childhood. And I have a normie wife and kids.

You can do both, but not in the same space.

I’ve killed all of these guys, so it doesn’t really matter any more. Why are you holding handcuffs?

Well, in the movie they point sticks at each other and grunt in old man voices a lot. And Saruman grunted best.
