  • I like this. I mean, the fact that the rules assist the narrative, but they’re not the narrative themselves.

    For the desintegrate situation, I’d love for the GM to go something like:

    “As you speak the final words of your incantation, Wizard, a thin green ray begins to form on your fingertip. The villain merely smirks, clicking his fingers. A wave of crimson energy smothers your hand, and your spell snuffs out like a candle. He brushes a piece of dust from his shoulder. 'Impatience. Such a childish trait. As I was saying…'

    The GM wouldn’t even explain what happened, just continue his narrative, and at some point the party would find that one of the nearby minions in hiding had a counterspell ready, for example.




  • Aww. It’s such a quirky and funny thought, imagine eating the rubble as an intimidation attempt, like, the guy just missed but is trying to turn it into a “that was intentional, I wanted you to know what I’m going to do to your BRAIN after I cave in your skull!”

    This is the kind of stuff that makes a game memorable IMO. As a DM, even if you don’t want to allow it for some reason, just go along with it. Fake a roll and have the opponent yell back “Bahahah I haven’t even hit you yet and you’re already getting ready to start shitting bricks?!”

    I would do this if a party was being obnoxious and constantly interrupting/sidetracking the storytelling.

    “You missed the several ‘ELEVATOR’ signs as you were running away from the guards and the half of the town that Mr klepto over here decided to steal from, and that’s why You’ve been slogging thought these dull treetops and grappling with vines for the last 45 minutes.”








  • fucking seatbelts do not play well with tits (how is this still a thing)

    This sounds hard to solve, especially for women with fuller bosom. I’m assuming that the car has a mechanism that allows raising/lowering the seatbelt height, and that this didn’t solve the issue…

    The answer would probably be a harness, like they use for racing, but it’s so inconvenient to use as to not actually being a solution to a boob-squashing neck-sawing strap.

    I don’t think whether they’re driving or not is a meaningful distinction at this level

    But it does! For example, if the driver seat offers better protection than the rest of the car, and women are more often than men in one of the other seats, it would explain the results and the dummy doesn’t add much.

    But if the fatality rate for women in the front passenger seat, for example, is the same as for men in that same seat, that’s were probably having an “anatomically correct female crash test dummy” can be very helpful in understanding why these crashes are killing more women than men.
