Sure, I mean, it depends on the system and the GM and the other players. Like, those Shadowrun sessions were fun because we were all kind of on the same page- we all had our areas of specialty and nobody tried to override anyone else. Plus our GM loved to build places with airtight security, so it would up being like…

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

What exactly is that link supposed to prove? He's allowed to have his shitty opinions, just like you are and just like I am and just like Heinlein was. Look, you're the one who roped Hannity into this conversation for no particular reason- he's a liar. That's bad. I condemn it forcefully.

I didn't "defend" anything, man. You're the one who appears incapable of distinguishing between fact, fiction, and opinion, so maybe be careful of that glass house you're living in before you start banging on other people's critical thinking skills.

You're comparing apples to oranges. Hannity is a newscaster, not a fiction writer. His news reports aren't found under the "Science Fiction" section in the bookstore. And regardless of the fact that Hannity carries water for a shitty and corrupt administration, people are, in fact, allowed to have opinions you find…

No, it's still not "misinformation"- it's just a position with which you do not agree. If he believes that society would be better if only veterans could vote, that's his prerogative. Again, you don't have to agree. Hell, I don't agree! But a dissenting opinion isn't deceit and it isn't misinformation.

We eventually switched our characters over to the Fate system, actually.

I just don't see any intent to deceive in writing a fictional novel. You can disagree with the ideas or the premise, as you clearly do, but it's still fiction, not deceit. The ideas may or may not be supportable in the real world, but there's no requirement that they must be.

I mean, it sounds like you're saying "misinformation" is simply any premise that you don't agree with, which is why I was trying to get a little more clarification here. Obviously people can learn from fictional sources, but I still don't see what people are or are not supposed to learn from Starship Troopers- I guess…

Please, point me to thousands of examples.

I mean, yes, that is a key point of the novel for sure. I don't see how that's "misinformation", though- it's just backstory. You're not obliged to think it's actually a good idea, any more than you're obliged to think monarchy is the superior form of government when you read a story about King Arthur.

What kind of "misinformation" could be presented in a fictional novel, out of curiosity?

I’m fairly confident that while nitrogen narcosis might cause you to see something that’s not really there, it doesn’t cause you to dream up detailed, lengthy action sequences, complete with jump scares and a false lull.

Just like the Gotham police department!

Jane Curtin actually gave Joseph Gordon Levitt a dead rat every single day of shooting on 3rd Rock.

Hey, these colostomy bags ain't cheap!

Bards can be ridiculously fun. I had a 4th Ed. bard for a while who had a cherry-red flying-v lute who would blast monsters with power chords.

It's awkward is what it's like. There's whole sourcebooks dedicated to banging your way across certain settings and it's always like hanging out with people who are uncomfortably enthusiastic about their poly lifestyle.

There's so much beyond just traditional D&D as well. My favorite gaming memories are pretty much all from spending three hours trying to plan a perfect run in Shadowrun, arguing about what the best approach is.
