bouh

This article is wrong and lying. Garbage piece of propaganda.

Considering general relativity exists, it's fitting that each place has its timezone.

Clearly we don't play the same kind of game. In my game, murder hobos are putting themselves at risk of death. And the old man and his canary is actually a safe encounter to through at them. Because the of the character itself, and because of the difference of power.

Again, you're missing the point of what is taught. You're hell bent on the unfairness and people acting like children. I play with adults. Setting the tone of the game is important to do in game.

This encounter is not a punishment. It is a lesson and a demonstration and an opportunity. It shows how big the game can become. It shows the kind of enemies they can make. It shows that the story can go any way they like, but they should not be stupid about it.

The problem with murder hobo is not that they are evil. It is that they are stupid. Stupidity should be a fatal mistake for the game stay interesting.

Lol how long will you reference games that have nothing to do with ttrpg? And then I would be the one focusing on the wrong thing?

Do you understand that the dm is fundamentally unable to cheat?

Do you understand that the dm can make things difficult just as much as he can make them easy?

Do you really expect that the player should never face anything they can't murder?

On est sur un réseau social pour discuter du coup. Le désaccord nourri la discussion et l'esprit.

Et j'arrive vraiment pas à comprendre la démarche sociologique de ton essai. Au contraire, tu postules que reddit et lemmy sont inefficaces et ne devraient pas être utilisés.

Mais personne n'a eu un flingue sur la tempe pour utiliser ces plates-formes. Tu ne peux pas expliquer l'utilisation qui en est faite uniquement par les procédés prédateurs utilisés par les entreprises qui les possèdent. Ce n'est pas suffisant pour l'expliquer.

Quand à IRC, pourquoi n'est-ce pas la plate-forme de référence s'il est suffisant pour tout ce qu'on peut vouloir en faire ? Moi j'ai déjà donné des arguments. Et j'ai déjà souligné le fait que t'es arguments me semblent ignorer la plupart des utilisateurs.

Tu fais comme tu veux au final. J'ai aucun doute sur le fait qu'IRC sera toujours là bien après la plupart des plate-formes d'aujourd'hui, mais je suis convaincu qu'il n'y aura pas plus de monde dessus s'il ne change pas radicalement.

You should really try to understand what game you're playing. Ttrpg are not competitive games, so your comparisons with competitive games are missing the point entirely.

I'll state bluntly : if you consider the game as a competitive game, you are a problem player.

It is a good thing to show the players that the game is not a competition because as a dm you are the one to decide how hard it will be.

The game cannot be competitive. Do you get that?

C'est pas une question de pub mais de communauté. Plus il y a de gens, plus tu as de chances d'avoir la communauté qui t'intéresse qui va se former.

Je te parle pas de décision de business ici. Je te parle de sociologie. Les réseaux sociaux fonctionnent par agrégation. Il leur faut nécessairement une masse critique pour pour survivre, sans quoi ils vont simplement disparaître avec le temps. Et au delà d'un certain seuil, ils vont fleurir, se développer.

Tu parles pour finir de projets. Ce ne sont pas des communautés mais des groupes de travail. Leur plate-forme n'est pas un réseau social, elle ne sert pas à des gens à se rencontrer pour discuter, elle sert à travailler sur un projet spécifique.

J'ai l'impression que tu mélanges tes propres goûts et besoins avec le rôle des réseaux sociaux. Si tu n'en pas besoin, très bien. Mais s'ils existent, c'est parce qu'ils répondent à un besoin de beaucoup de gens. Et pour les réseaux sociaux, le monde attire le monde. Et pour la plupart des gens, ne pas avoir besoin de 35 outils pour communiquer avec qui on veut communiquer, c'est un avantage.

Lemmy et reddit sont la nouvelle version des forums. Moins statiques que des forums, mais moins éphémères et plus organisés que du chat.

C'est un peu la croisé du blog, du forum et du chat. Et comme internet est une question d'agréger des communautés, un truc qui fait un peu tout sera mieux qu'un truc spécialisé, parce que plus de gens pourront s'y retrouver.

You know what? You're the only one here thinking that this encounter is meant to end in a tpk. Which tells a lot about the kind of person you are.

Your comparison is simply stupid. Deal with it. You don't understand the point I'm making and you're crying like an entitled player would if he couldn't do anything he like at the expense of everyone else. What am I supposed to tell you? You're defending a spoiled kid making a mess here and using dumb comparisons to make your point.

This encounter can serve as a narrative tool to put the campaign back on track. It gives the characters an opportunity to change. If you can only see that as a punishment you have the maturity of a child.

Ok, 3 things.

First, who ever said that this encounter was ever meant to end in a tpk? Not me. Not anyone I read mentioning this encounter. Bahamut is a benevolent god, not a moronic asshole like murder hobos.

Second, murder hobos are not playing to win, they're playing moronic assholes in a power fantasy. But anyway, both murder hobo and playing to win make problem players.

Third and finally, this encounter is a narrative tool that can take a campaign back on track. A discussion alone doesn't have this power, because the characters changing their behaviour suddenly would break the story.

Because you're not hurting people but imaginary characters that have been exceptionally evil.

If you can't see the difference you're a complete idiot. Do you know what a story is? What a game is? What morale is?

The dm can cheat to win yes. That is also the lesson. Which means trying to beat the game is a hopeless goal. And if you think this is the game, you're gravely mistaken.

The comparison to flogging is simply dumb. It's completely irrelevant.

Now you can be a dumb player and refuse to learn anything from this encounter. It can spark a discussion then.
