D&D Philosophy One-Liners

[Jaster]

"I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it as a free action"
-Voltaire

[Math_Mage]

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.

[Meta]

Not a one liner but:

DM: "You see a floating skull"
Player: "$%!& is it on fire?"
DM: "Yes"
Player: "Thank god"

"Without Rule 0, cheating is forbidden by the RAW; it is only for those acting on behalf of the DM, that everything is permitted."
- Jonathan Wallace

"It is not sufficient that I succeed. The DM must fail."
- Genghis Khan

"What glory in the kill, without peril in the hunt?"
- a gnoll barbarian, on the subjects of pragmatism, risk management, and what to have for dinner

[Darth Stabber]

Particularly odd considering how much fun gay paladins are.

Beyond sig worthy, I may change my forum name

"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."

There are worse ways to run a game.

Though also many, many better ways.

"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
