Of course it will take strength of will from your character to do such a thing so of course the DM is not pulling your leg. Many people like to avoid dice rolling in games since they feel it disrupt the flow of role-playing though, but that's more of a matter of how you decide to play the game then relating to the specific situation you're in. But the general rule is that it's up to the DM since that is the person doing almost all of the work setting up the game.

No, he's pulling your arm.

But my waifu is the dungeon.
no seriously the party was super-miniaturized and we're sailing through her blood vessels in a wooden submarine to kill some evil demon-parasites that godmagic doesnt work on

>How much of session time do you spend on adventuring in dungeons, and how much on less dangerous activities, such as drinking in the taverns

Depends on what all is happening, if they are already in town normally half of our four to five hour session is drinking, going to stores, getting the next quest or intel.

If they are already in a dungeon normally a full session to get through most if not all.

>courting your waifus?

Keep that shit in pfg

>>53063150
Your DM made an episode of the Magic School Bus into a dungeon, I'm not sure if I should be impressed or sad for you.

>>53062428

Your 'three ways' make no sense. They're not distinct categories, they're an incredibly broad spectrum which only describes a single aspect of personal and group playstyle, with no nuance or understanding of why different people enjoy different things, and no real argument for why different playstyles somehow creates more problems in D&D than it does in other systems.

>>53062428
Racial issues should also be worked out ahead of game start up.

>why the fuck would that drow be in a human village?
>why is there a dwarf, a pixie, and a warforged all growing up as kids in a small village? WTF kind of village is that?
>You're an elf? Why aren't you in the forest fucking tree knot holes, instead of living like a human peasant?
>You're a fighter? that's fine, most villages have someone who could have taught you some lv 1 basics.......you're a specialist necromancer? Where in the fuck did you learn that shit? Not in the starting village, where most can't even read/write.

Working these issues out ahead of start up, can set a theme for the campaign or game, and end a lot of issues before they begin.

>>53062460
The "why" different people enjoy different things, doesn't matter anon.

Simply put, people just DO. They enjoy different things. They enjoy different parts of different games. Why doesn't matter really.

You can't make someone enjoy something they don't want to enjoy. Thus, being up front about WHAT and HOW you enjoy the game, is important. WHY they enjoy (x), isn't important.

Nigga please.
Twenty 5-inch guns plus sixty 40mm Bofors plus forty eight 20mm is damn near enough dakka.
Just because the Iowas are fatassed sluts with more guns then they know what to do with doesn't diminish the beautiful elegance of the NorCals. And also fuck you specifically.

No.

No. I'm not autistic. Not in that particular way, at least.

Still waiting for that Dad Space conversion.

On a serious note I would give Chronicles of Shadowrun a go

>We head that way, and by the time we arrive, we're a solid lv 2.
>We check with the villagers, and eventually (after a lot of work), track the kobolds to their den.
>The mage dies a brutal death, catching a couple kobold spears in his back
>The pally and I survive and clean the kobold nest out
>We get some great treasure rolls, (no magic, but lots of gems/gold)
>We bury the mage, and the DM tells him to reroll if he'd like to
>We could have tried to bring the mage back, but we didn't have the coins or the ability to do so
>The player said he'd roll one up next session and we'd figure out how to work him in

>We continue traveling east, with no specific destination in mind
>We help the next village get a trapped boy out of a collapsed mine
>we also reach our next level
>We continue going east towards the ocean..
>We stop to help a farmer make peace with his neighbor, and prevented a bloody (if small scale) family feud
>We explore an old ruined tower and kill some undead
>we gain another level, and realize at this point that we're still using our starting gear, and have basically no gold to upgrade
>the pally says he didn't mind, as our starting gear was working fine so far
>A few more skirmishes with roaming monsters saw us reach level 6 by the time we hit the coast.
>The guy playing the mage came back next session, and spent the entire time reading the complete book of wizards, and didn't bother rolling up a new pc

I kinda wanna see people stop giving a shit about PLD, that'd be pretty rad

Don't respond to this thread, let it fall off the board. If there's ever been proof that animeposter was a complete cunt its this thread.

I want to see Lysander meet the new person, because I am weirdly excited to see who it is. I don't give a shit about the game itself, but the characters are interesting.

How do you know you're not actually wearing armor right now?

Blackjack rules, if you would go past a certain threshold you bottom out. That threshold is cloth panties and, in some settings, a bra.

My drawing skills are nonexistent even with this, so I'm going to instead use HeroForge to create the current party my players are running.

No, but seriously, Liam's player badly needs to stop falling asleep during the sessions.
