@WashedOutGundamPilot I dropped out of highschool, retired at 40, and own my own home. I am driving to the coast tomorrow to talk to some guy about buying a 36 foot sailboat because I got a hair up my ass today while listening to the Mutiny on the Bounty audiobook while I was working on shit today and now I really really REALLY need to sail to Tahiti and see if they still have any of those dusky brown big breasted native girls thirsty for the BIG ANGLO COCK left in stock.
@apropos@Moon@coolboymew@noyoushutthefuckupdad >well yeah, of course he immediately set the prison on fire. That's how he is. If the DM didn't want it to happen he should've made a less flammable prison." Literally happened in a campaign with the DM seething and complaining after the session ended about how we were supposed to have met and freed a prisoner who would have led us to our next campaign objective. Sorry dude, but if our quest had us assassinate someone who was imprisoned to prevent the lord from interrogating them as part of some larger unknown plot point I am going to do what seems best for the party. Killing one person in a heavily fortified prison that will narrow down the culprit to who could have the motivation and who they hired to do it. If you kill everyone in the prison then the lord has far more people to investigate, far more motives, and it would take far longer to investigate. Thus it make it much less likely that the lord could narrow it down to one person with a motivation, then capture and torture them to find out who was responsible. I have a duty to myself and my party to figure out a way to complete objectives that will profit us and lead to the least likely chance of retaliation.
Unironically the DM shouldn't have went to the effort to mention that there was a stock of lamp oil in the prison.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@coolboymew@Moon@apropos I had to give up playing IRL D&D in 2014 when another Sergeant (black, female) forced her way into our group and then complained constantly about the campaign and player characters. We had to mollify her constantly by explaining that the things our characters said and did were in character and setting and did not represent our personal beliefs or convictions. After two sessions with her in the group I nopped the fuck out and came up with some excuse about having to put more effort into planning my counseling sessions and didn't have the time or energy to devote to a night of gaming. A couple of weeks later we had to have mandatory unit wide SHARP training because she had jumped the chain of command to complain to battaltion about the -isms in a private game she literally forced herself into.
Now I just play AD&D with some kids over IRC. I get to play as my spastic Chaotic-Neutral Halfling Thief with a penchant for throwing pots of oil and torches as a solution to most everything and not have to worry about someone sperging out and trying to destroy my private life over perceived injustices.
