My opinion under the comment secret for this remains the same for the actual secret.

You can play whatever character you want, but it's going to take the trust of a group who wants to play like that too, and expecting every single new DnD group you join to be down for this is asking a lot. Most people playing DnD are doing so to escape real life for a bit, they want to have some chill fun once every week/two weeks/month or whenever they get to play. Also as a DM: you clearly have no grasp as to how much work actually goes into making a campaign that's fun and engaging for everyone, I cannot pay special attention to just one person.

Your wants do not supersede others wants or comfort and other people are not 'doing it wrong' because you think their way is boring or 'not RP'. Frankly I've met far too many self-absorbed power-gamers in DnD who not only ruin the vibe for everyone else, but also suck at roleplay because they're just being dick and expect no pushback on it.

It isn't more difficult to play an evil or asshole character, even if they get better, it's just a different character type and one that takes a lot of work.

I like the picture choice for this secret :D.

And yeah, I get what you mean about the optimistic element, the happiness. It is nice to see, even if it is often unfortunately fleeting.

This isn't other people failing to grasp the concept of roleplaying.

This is you failing to grasp the concept of playing a game with friends, for the purpose of enjoying spending time with them, both in and out of character.

You want to play an asshole edgelord? That's what solo video games are for. TTRPGs are for hanging out with your friends in a fantasy setting.

Is it a dark canon? Cause yeah, those always have an overwhelming amount of slice-of-life fanworks where nothing bad happens, or where nothing at all happens.

I think about things like this, too, sometimes, with certain fandoms. It is an interesting thing to wonder about :D.

The type of players who want to "roll a character and have an adventure/play an action/adventure game with some RP flavor or setting" where character-conflict usually = player-conflict because each player is joining the table as an individual with their own aims and goals, are different from players who want to "write a collaborative story/roleplay out the story of a party as a whole" in which each character is important and everyone is invested in all of them.

The former type of player makes up 99% of tables. The latter is probably what you're looking for, but much, much harder to find. And it's not that the former is bad or wrong, to be quite clear. There are plenty of lovely people who I play "action/adventure games" with but would not "write a story" with because they don't quite get how collab writing works or mistakenly assume collab writing is people taking turns leading the story wherever they want. If they ask "why would anyone ever RP a baddie" or think you're trying to "force" the party to face themes they don't want to face are the former type - avoid each other! You have a fundamentally different approach to the activity.

Good luck finding your collab group. It took a lot of filtering people out, but I found mine and it's awesome.

Ah yes some random user on f!s is in fact the Isreli gov and can control what they do.

My word exactly.

Our group bans Chaotic Neutral Rogues for a reason.

I've seen the matter brought up recently between gaming and Funimations recently closing down; but I was wondering if anyone collects any particular types of physical media?
Such as dvds/blu-rays/cds/etc or to just download from 'alternative' sources and either make your own copy or just keep the files as it is?

I like the picture choice for this secret :D.

Same!

Thread demonstrating the two types of players already, eh? Lol

Audio cassette tapes. I don't even have anything to play them on, but I just love them and think the cases and inserts are better than DVDs and CDs.

Is today not Saturday?

I do collect dvds and have been considering getting a blu-ray player just so I can collect certain series that are only available on that particular format.
I also collect cds, but have kept mp3 files of radio plays or music on usb sticks or mp3 players too.

Ah, so that's what happened to this secret ;)

sa Didn't mean that to sound rude.

I buy whatever DvD's I can, because when I really love a movie or show I want to be able to watch it again on my terms, not the streaming sites, though getting a hold of TV shows has become increasingly harder in the last decade because of streaming services. For music I buy tracks I like on Amazon music and then keep the files on a USB so they're 'mine' in that sense. I have a few physical albums as well.

I just finished my peppermint tea \o/

as much as i find it odd and cutesifying a serious message, i would MUCH rather the message even get out there, especially to youths who can make a difference and speak loudly and perpetuate the message further.

and at least you know that you're privileged. but it is not "genocide" to spread awareness to a REAL genocide happening right before your eyes. god forbid we try and help others out instead of staying in our cozy little escape while people are being fucking MASS murdered. you're way out of line lol

That was intentional? I had just assumed that Verne just didn't know what a league was and wanted something that sounded cool, weird, and watery, and didn't care that their arbitrarily large number was completely imposable. I'm just too used to modern authors, not mentioning Rowling in particular or anything, just being really bad at math or scientific realities and using words and concepts without care for their actual meanings. .

Wasn't rude at all, don't worry! Been traveling around, so I lost a day in there. Thanks for the heads up!

It shouldn't impact anything at least.

coffee AND water! both were good, but need more water tbh.

Ugh. Ralsei would not be cool with that, even if he is a pushover.

Sadly, appropriating fictional characters for political stuff isn't a new thing.
