    The person you’re replying too explicitly said that not playing the game the way they do is fine, yet you’re here telling them that they’re playing it wrong and should play something else. That is psycho shit. Just don’t play with each other, which by the way was the other person’s point all along. They didn’t once yuck the yums of people who play differently.

      Wat? They absolutely are belittling people that play the game as it is written… You think “play let’s pretend with dice” is not meant in a derogatory way just because they said “that’s fine” after? Even then followed up with basically “you won’t catch me doing that”. Their entire post is absolutely “yucking the yums” of everyone that doesn’t play DnD as a combat only tactical board game.

        I never said it wasn’t derogatory, and yes actually, acknowledging that different ways to play the game are fine does absolutely make it okay. “Tell me ahead of time and I won’t play at your table”

        “You won’t catch me doing that” ya bro they want to play the game the way they have fun and not force themselves to play it a way they don’t enjoy for the benefit of others. And instead of letting that be, you have to whine and okay the victim.

    • I won’t deny that I’m being an ass, but I will point out that the conversation started with the original post effectively calling me a bitch. Me being somewhat of an ass is a measured and proportionate response.

        No, the conversation did not start out with you being effectively called a bitch. A meme was posted that you decided to take incredibly seriously and incredibly personally. But you are 100% being an ass.

        • I think I may have responded to the wrong comment with that one, as someone was misrepresenting something I said and my intent was to point out how misrepresenting a statement is bad by misrepresenting another statement. I’m honestly having a hard time finding the comment that I intended to respond to.

        I mean, yeah absolutely and I agree. I didn’t say you were being nice, but the double standard where they think they get to tell people who they accuse of metagaming (whether they are or aren’t) that they’re playing it wrong and to do something else when they would go absolutely insane if it was the other way around has always triggered me immediately. Just let people play the game they wanna play it
