@JulieBorowski@moonbrahhh Honestly, I haven't thought about you in at least a decade, and this post just happened to show up on my feed. You saying something obviously true, and a dude assuming because you're a woman, you must mean the opposite and making a fool of himself. Same as it ever was.
@Nobleshield Chesterton's Fence though. If you think a rule is stupid, you should try playing with it a few times to see if it works better than you expected. After that, feel free to make changes.
@jacktronprime That's because, in general, boomers *are* gullible like that. Observing them on Facebook quickly confirms this. They can be as offended as they like, but facts don't care about their feelings.
@BWWings I had a bad experience and wanted to contact you about it, but the "reach out" link on the site doesn't work and I didn't get a response to my email. Does anyone there care about customer experience?
@RealAngelaMc Agreed, but you have to get the right cornmeal for it. Mass-market meal is made from unripened corn, so it doesn't have enough natural sugar. Ripe corn is sweet enough by itself.

@illmadenight Right, if I wanted to screw the players over I could; if I wanted to be certain they passed through safely, I could. But I don't want either of those things. I want genuine risk, and that requires that I outsource that decision to the dice. Players still know where they stand.
@illmadenight@broomie43@KasimirUrbanski@rpgcyrusrite then whether the dragon appears is solely a matter of the DM's whim to screw over the players or not. By contrast, if there's a 1-in-12 chance of the dragon showing up each day, that's a risk the players can consider when making decisions.
@illmadenight@broomie43@KasimirUrbanski@rpgcyrusrite If the DM is choosing encounters directly, they are directly responsible for the amount of danger the party is in. Say the party is considering crossing a forest where there's a dragon, and if it shows up, they're screwed. If the DM manually chooses encounters, (cont)
