"I play an X card. This scene is triggering me"
"OK - let's roll this back. Suddenly there is a flash and your character no longer exists in this world. Bye. Don't let the door hit you on your way out"

I gate keep to keep weirdos away from any game I run.

[SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

Maybe I'm old-school, but I seem to remember 1st edition hammering home the point that "the character is not the player." How times change.

[LordOz]

I also have the reprint of the AD&D DMG and keep it handy as a reference. It seems like later edition DMGs were reduced to magic item catalogs.

[GeorgeM]

Safety tools are extremely stupid. I tried to think of more to say but contemplating safety tools made my mind shut down. It's too stupid to comprehend.

[destroso]

This will really help with the DM shortage! Well done Wotc!

[crankysmurf]

This is what happens when people are narcissists who have never been told "no" by their parents.

[lostchaplain]

Disappointed in the lack of "Dictatorship of the Rolletariot" Or maybe Rolling Idiots? Kinda rhymes.

[yaboiportch]

I'm not sure who's trying to normalize the DM being beholden to the players in his own game, but it stops at my table.

[destroso]

These people are real bundles of sticks.

[Boone_Flyer]

Curse you, Pundit, for putting a Village People song in my head first thing in the morning.

[Doodle]

I haven't look at it but I recall the original leak about the bastion rules was the bastion also becomes a magical Santa castle that gives gifts to PCs each new level up.

[stevenfoster]

Me, me, me! It's all about ME! What happens when members in the group disagree?

[sadwingsraging]

🙅‍♂️X-CARD! How dare they use the term _Master_ in any shape form or fashion!😫
Don't they realize how triggering that word is to all the weak willed they/thems out there?!!?😵‍💫

[benitopulatso]

My wife is afraid of spiders, she copes with this fear by always playing a spellcaster with some kind of fire spell prepared.

[MatthewKruse-riep]

My immediate impression of new wizards d&d is that these people don't actually play d&d, just from the tone presentation of a lot of their material's text:

Fundamentally, if you play, you don't want vague, conversational round about explanations of rules. You want direct clear writing that's organized.

[DavidisApocalypse]

How do these people even manage to play a game?

[patkelley]

Reminds me of our final 1e session in 1987. We had been playing these characters since 1983 and we were going our separate ways in life. We decided a final one shot where we would all die horribly. One of the players was unceremoniously appended to a wall by his scrotum. I died of starvation wandering blind the depths of the ocean with a ring of water breathing. It was brutal but it had to be done.

[steelmongoose]

If I ever publish my own game, I’m tempted to include a game-mastering section detailing how to build a gaming group without any postmodern snowflakes.

[jimastro]

Meatball: "Less than 3 feedings a day of tuna is a line that cannot be crossed."

[codychavez]

Great vid! Shining a light on the erosion of a once great hobby. You should team up with joethelawyer he’s doing the same. His channel is pretty good. Big focus on the OSR.
