2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218

[2D8HP]

I have.

What have you been talking about all this time?

Mostly movies of the 1970's with performances by Roddy McDowall, also:

You get three types of people in forums:

1. People looking straight up for information.
2. People interested in debating the finer points of policy and theory.
3. People who just like to argue.

In going over my own posts to this Forum, I'd say they mostly fall into these categories:

1) Inquires: "How does this rule work?",
"What's a good novel?".

2) Rants: "Bah! All these new rules are too complex dagnabbit!".

3) Praise: "These easy new rules are AWESOME!", "That novel was BADASS!".

4): Contrition: "Sorry I about ragging on the rules".

5) Gratitude: "Thanks for explaining the rules to me".

6) Lessons: "Don't preview when you use the dice roller function".

7) Support: "The dice roller was hard for me to learn too. Don't be down on yourself.

8) Jokes: "In notRussia Dungeon Explores YOU!"

9) Bloviating: "As Gygax wrote in 1976....", "In Chaucer's the Canterbury Tales" (these seem to be the posts that other playgrounders actually like. Hooray for me!)

and

10) Random pop culture references from the 1970's and 80's: "A shrubbery". "Khaaaaaan!"

I think that's most of them.

As to the thread topic:

5e D&D is needlessly and frustratingly complex with all its player options up until the time that I can actually manage to remember them, after which point the options become awesome.
Your welcome.

"What about you centurion, do you think there's anything funny?"

"When do we get there?"
"Real soon!"
