While I’m not a fan of the cartoons, they do reflect part of the attitude one finds at most tables, and reminds us that D&D is, indeed, a game being played.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-63798970865555208252021-07-15T18:59:36.050-07:002021-07-15T18:59:36.050-07:00Yea, I get that.

I wonder at times as to why I started a blog myself in such an arena. Actually, I know. I love this stuff. Anyway, sometimes it seems that instead of first listening for the possible merits and validity of an argument (or simply listening to another's position/view/"non-crap reason"), it's easier to get defensive. I find that it helps having thick skin, a supportive family, and a supply of good local beer.

The "you will die but its funny" is the Paranoia shtick. The banana peels, mouse ears, and +1 back scratches take the game in that direction.sevenbastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961009160456478009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-40639946910485234562021-07-15T16:00:35.011-07:002021-07-15T16:00:35.011-07:00It’s just that sometime I get this paranoid idea t...It’s just that sometime I get this paranoid idea that folks feel I’ll use any excuse to crap on their favorite, non-1st edition version of D&D…just because I’m a jerk.<br /><br />I *am* a jerk (sometimes), but I ALSO have an actual, non-crap reason for some of this analysis.<br /><br />This time anyway.<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-86396007069225848162021-07-15T15:26:01.747-07:002021-07-15T15:26:01.747-07:00"Everyone got that?"
