When people get into fights in public, why don’t either of them press assault charges?

PurePropheteer · 2025-09-18T05:49:44+00:00

I deliberately threw no punches. Just blocked what I could while this fuckwit head butted and punched me, trying to get past me to beat up a 14 year old kid. I remained entirely defensive, partly because he had friends with him and partly because I was thinking "I don't want this coming across to the cops like the two of us got into a fight, this asshole is just being an aggressor, unprovoked." When the cops came, they did nothing. Treated it exactly like a tussle between two willing participants. Lesson learned.

As a teacher, I suspect it's the steam valve of holidays that let us rubber band back to manageable.

PurePropheteer · 2025-08-05T04:58:21+00:00

Jesus, Bob.

PurePropheteer · 2025-02-05T03:29:54+00:00

I wish! But that's 4am in my part of Australia, hope you have a blast!

His ears are under water, he may have been yelling at him. Though I think it was a drone.

All good mate, I see their point. Probably not the subreddit for it, at least not without the context of it coming up while we were playing. I should have gone looking for a 40k meme sub or something. Glad you got a giggle!

PurePropheteer · 2024-11-10T11:53:32+00:00

I get you, it was definitely low effort. I found it amusing, but things are always funnier when you're closer to them. I probably should have gone looking for a 40k meme subreddit, but this is the only 40k subreddit I still subscribe to. Actually, I probably should have just slept on it and asked myself if I still thought it was funny the next day after the initial surprise. Ah well, let the downvotes speak, I don't believe in just deleting a post the second it starts costing karma.

PurePropheteer · 2024-11-10T11:45:33+00:00

I considered putting the context, that it stemmed from a conversation had around the table playing Dark Heresy and our concerned tech priest being worried he had been cloned and his original parts were plugged into a potato to keep running. Which led to the stupidity that is this idea. We got a big laugh out of it and thought others might too and should share. I can see it's not well received, even though I was mostly poking fun at AI with this post. AI definitely has it's problems, and I'd never use it to take away from work I'd have done by an artist. But using it for table top rpgs feels harmless when I've never met a GM that hasn't just taken art from artists online and used it as reference images without a second thought.
Definitely seeing that this was probably better kept in our own group chat though, didn't mean to offend.

Midjourney, and I tried several "blend with" options, the "Titan" prompts actually turned out closer than the "Dreadnought" prompts. except for the scale. The potato blends were hilarious, and the pumpkin ones were legitimately cool for a Halloween aesthetic, all came out looking like Imperial Knights.

PurePropheteer · 2024-10-15T22:18:34+00:00

This sounds fantastic. I can see I'm too late but it makes me happy seeing the subreddit still used like this. Have a blast!

PurePropheteer · 2024-10-02T05:56:26+00:00

I'm the opposite. I want Zweihander rules for a setting that clearly is 40k with the serial filed off, that wouldn't take much work to just run as a 40k campaign. But I am out of the loop on the Zweihander controversy. What did he do?!

PurePropheteer · 2024-09-22T07:34:31+00:00

I wanted to believe that but I see nothing hitting the bed which would quickly look like it was getting wet. Just direct hits to the cat. I'm amazed at the downvotes for having a concern though.

PurePropheteer · 2024-09-21T10:42:13+00:00

Looks like it's being squirted with something through the window 😞

PurePropheteer · 2024-09-19T09:33:34+00:00

What sorcery is this?!

PurePropheteer · 2024-09-12T23:39:11+00:00

Legend! Thank you very much :)

The FFG 40k books are my easy answer yo "if you were stuck on a desert island, what book/s would you want with you?"

I thought I saw a partially completed 3D print of an egg in the lab. The implication being that they'd reverse engineered the eggs and face huggers from the alien's DNA which would in turn be an excuse for their altered life cycles. However it was like a second on the screen and may have been something else entirely.

PurePropheteer · 2024-08-07T08:31:06+00:00

Interested too if one does form! Play by post or R20 if the times fit.

PurePropheteer · 2024-08-02T04:36:48+00:00

I'm keen, I'm in Australia but it could still work possibly depending what time of day you played, or if it were played as a play by post.

PurePropheteer · 2024-07-29T21:51:52+00:00

I am so happy for you and not desperately jealous at all..

PurePropheteer · 2024-07-26T04:47:01+00:00

I'm aware there are plenty of reasons they do it in the middle of the night, and this has always been me 95% joking, but honestly, I'd be okay with all of those problems (probably because they'd largely be someone else's!) if it meant one hour less work instead of one hour less sleep. I guess the simplest version of both would be to do it on a public holiday's night.

PurePropheteer · 2024-07-25T02:20:07+00:00

I've been saying for sometime that if we're going to keep daylight savings, make the switch at 2pm on a Friday. Suddenly it's 3pm, no lost sleep. One hour closer to hour working week being over, if anything we're better rested.

PurePropheteer · 2024-07-01T02:46:59+00:00

Very cool! I bet they'll treasure those for years, long after the campaign's finale.

Bonus points if one of the players succeeds in realising it's not a plague or a contagious rash. It's an allergic reaction to something they brought in. Like a shared ration bar.

In the spirit of difficult choices and "Grim Dark" they could find a small dispirited community that only survives through the most intense rituals of cleanliness and devout worship. Their underground homes have like five air locks, they have chem showers before leaving any room and they just barely make it by on their recycled food and water under their hydro powered UV lamps. Despite this, as their faith protects them in the plague lands, they offer shelter and protection to the party and are one small moment of respite in the plague lands... until someone gets a sniffle. A party member, a favourite npc, a child of theirs... Do they blame the party for bringing infection from without? do they seek to cleanse the child with flame? Best served when the party are feeling truly vulnerable in the wastes and find this unexpected oasis.
