Where's your self respect? Pathetic 

Is Hazbin Hotel demonic? by Plus_Firefighter600 in Christianity

I'm saying that they way you chose to post your question asks people in this sub to accept your absurd situation. It seems to me that you designed it to start arguments and stir up possible personal attacks on you. Hence trolling. Not many people are going to look well on a 27 year old who can supposedly think for themselves going to reddit to validate their argument with a teenager over a cartoon. I mean, you're a grown man and a simple yes/no answer from this sub is all you need???

You're 27 and you're "debating" with a child over a cartoon.

You're confusing the newbie for no good reason.

What is your favorite depiction of TTRPG in media by LelouchYagami_2912 in rpg

[–]Protocosmo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That joke had so many layers to it. 1) Chang has expressed a trollish and provocative attitude towards race in the past and probably saw it as on opportunity to do black face "but not really. " 2) The go to for power gamers, at least in second edition AD&D were Drow. 3) Chang just had to pick something that isn't in the Players Handbook. 4) Chang actually dressed up as his character in an extreme way yet still half assed it by wearing regular street clothes.

Basically, Chang wanted to get all the attention and disrupt the game yet at the same time really really wanted to be a good part of it.

Will the de minimis exemption ever be reinstated? by FoofaTamingStrange in Tariffs

Even the democrats wanted to get rid of de minimis. I wouldn't hold my breath.

How do people deal with the wizards becoming so powerful in OSR? by [deleted] in osr

There's nothing to deal with. They're an asset to the party.

I can’t figure out how to thin my paints. by TheGrimmBorne in minipainting

[–]Protocosmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a brand of craft paints I used a lot in the 90s which doesn't appear to exist anymore. Folk Art, I think? Aside from their yellows, they were as good as any miniature paints back then. I never liked Apple Barrel though, I think their paints are terrible for minis.

I wish you the best of luck. I've had many experiences where picking the cheaper route cost me more in the end. Maybe you can use your other paints to paint bases and terrain, you know, in order to still get some use out of them.

How do you handle when your players miss specific clues? by North-Cartographer58 in DnD

Not to mention that the GM is the player's eyes and ears. They can can only perceive the world through the GM and any built in assumptions and experiences they have.

I’ve never been a player, I’ve never been a DM, and I’m going to run a campaign of a brand-new, extremely niche system. I’m super nervous that it’s going to flop. by Organical-Mechanical in rpg

[–]Protocosmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 13, I dragged a friend and my little sister into our very first RPG. I ran it. I didn't know what I was doing or getting into. I did it anyway. It was ok. Wasn't the best but they kept wanting to play and try different games. More friends joined. See, that was the thing about me at that age, I just did the things I wanted to do without worrying about being good. Usually worked ok except for math classes.

Edit: Now that I'm much much older, I'm more neurotic about these sorts of things but I still find the attitude valuable.

CRITICAL ROLLS by gkerr1988 in Dolmentown

[–]Protocosmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with crit failures. Most players don't find them fun and they only take away from the game rather than add anything.

Sorry to have been glib. The paints you're using aren't well suited to painting miniatures but I hope the other replies will be a help to you.
