Experience tells me that when people first start adopting a new cultural product, the early efforts are often overly derivative.

Did those not come with mics? Do they not support mics? I had neither system so I really don’t know.

To be fair, both ps4 and xbone come packaged with a mic.

And working instead of dicking around. Don’t forget working instead of dicking around.

Oglaf is one of the funniest webcomics around. Been reading it since the first few weeks of its existence and it has never disappointed.

Do you even post-modern bro? Warhol would’ve been all about this.

My experience tells me otherwise. Group dynamics tend to be pretty unique to each group. Generalizations like yours discount individual knowledge and experience. In other words, I don’t think that really applies here.

Or, maybe you don’t have all of the information?

This is exactly what I learned. I was too lenient before this incident, success is fun right? But no perceived possibility of failure can lead to people stepping outside of the game, at which point, why bother?

The initial problem was that I was fudging too much really. I’m still pretty new to all of this. I’ve got a better understanding of when and how much to let people fail now.

Tried it. I know I didn’t give a lot of detail up there, but it’s not like I went postal or anything. There’s more to this story that I didn’t really feel like recounting.

That was pretty much my first experience with RPGs. It’s why I never even tried playing another one until more than a decade later.

Absurdity is the greatest tool for disarming people.

Some friends and I had a regular gaming group that we were trying to expand in to a sort of geek culture club/business.

I’ve only been RPGing for the past few years.

I know that feel bro.

Ha, now that’s dedication.

Jeez, what did you say that made even your friends turn away?

Disagree. If your players are being arrogant asshats (in my experience it just takes one player who rolled high charisma IRL to lead the rest down the path blah blah blah) then you’re well within your rights to off the whole group.

This should’ve been what happened after that time he put the ship in “manual mode” and a large phallic controller protruded from the deck of the bridge.
