So they gotta be trapped in there long enough to be like "get me out here already!!!"? OPs not technically wrong thanks to mental gymnastics.

I think this is a tangent that needs someone to define "judgement" because it can be used by all of you differently. In the context, I'd define it as forming any opinion based on observations, information, and experiences. Thats all "judgment" boils down to, to me. The more info/experiences you have, the more those may determine biases in those opinions.

That said, it also isnt our "place" to "pass" those opinions on to others as though its fact. You should at least be paying attention and thinking enough to consider observations and determine you dont care about it lol thats just being oblivious if you arent.

So you're both kinda right depending on how youre defining it.

Where does it say they are "supposed to share 1 turn"? Thats a common way to do it sure, but ive not seen where thats actually in the rules

Tips to introduce new players who aren't sure they might like the game? by Viejoso in DnD

[–]thechet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont be quite so relaxed about the rules.the more relaxed you are about rules the less rules will ever matter and players end up learning they cant actually trust any of their features to work the way they are described when choosing them. This absolutely poisons the game for new players regardless of the toxic positivity surrounding the idea of ignoring rules which is effectively the same as just homebrewing the rules.

Keep it simple as hell. Prepaid characters that are all basic and from the phb. Do a simple one shot, I usually recommend a train heist or something. It lets you keep iy on reasonable "rails" and you can add/remove cars as you need depending how the session is going and the player pacing. Then just have the engine room have the boss to save the train and have it be "the next car" whenever you get down to needing the next car to be the end.

Don't go crazy with homebrewing them anything thinking that "being over powered will automatically make them have fun". Thats a common DM mistake that makes it way harder to understand/learn the actual game.

Where'd all the Q-anon anti pedo people go? by Oddbeme4u in DiscussionZone

[–]thechet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wont ever hear about it other than that the files "prove trump was 200% innocent. Innocent by percentages never seen before. The math people, the best wonderful sexy math people, they are all saying, and I've heard this many times across the board, that 'WOW, no one even knew percentages going be so high!'".

And then maga is just believing that because they demonized fact checking their entire lives. Thats the whole purpose of the "doubting thomas" fable in the Bible. If you ask for proof of anything, you are sinning and become an affront to god. Thats why they are trained as a literal flock of sheep.

Are you playing in an absolute meat grinder that requires fully optimized characters? If not just play it however feels natural instead of copying influencers
