Re: D&D Philosophy One-Liners
Hume: Examine the NPCs which have, in fact, prevailed in the game world. You will scarcely be persuaded, that they are anything but a sick DM's dreams.
Hobbes: Life in a campaign world without plot hooks is solitary, nasty, brutish and short.
Nietzsche: The ultimate goal of humanity is to roll all 18s.

Re: D&D Philosophy One-Liners
Not a one liner but:
DM: "You see a floating skull"
Player: "$%!& is it on fire?"
DM: "Yes"
Player: "Thank god"

"Everything in the splatbooks either agrees with the DMG, in which case it is superfluous; or disagrees with the DMG, in which case it is heretical. Burn the splatbooks."
I just published my first novella, Lúnasa Days, a modern fantasy with a subtle, uncertain magic.
You can grab it on Kindle or paperback.

"Behold, I teach you the PC. The PC is the meaning of the campaign. Let your will say: the PC shall be the meaning of the campaign." - Nietzsche
"The campaign world has become small, and in it exists the Generic NPC, who takes ten on all checks. His race is as ineradicable as the flea-beetle; the NPC lives longest, for he never ventures into the dungeon." - Nietzsche
"My torture was not the knowledge that the gnome was the BBEG - but I cried as no one has yet cried: 'Alas, that his greatest evil is so very small!'" - Nietzsche
"There is no gaining of skill points, merely 'remembering' that you already had them." - Socrates
"I normally say that I see the plot-relevant NPCs themselves, just as I say that I see the wax. Yet do I see any more than hats and coats which could conceal set dressing? I judge that they are NPCs." - Descartes
