  • I had one DM fight the absurd amounts of time combat took by instituting a minute rule: if you can’t describe your entire planned actions in a minute, you forfeit your turn.

    There were lots of common-sense exceptions, but in general combat felt more like actual combat, and the whole thing felt more like an action-oriented story than a football game (where more time is spent planning the action than executing the action)





  • The problem is that “women are attracted to nice guys” implies that “being nice” itself is “enough” to be attractive. Guys get this idea that all they have to bring to the table is “I’m not a jerk” and the ladies will fall into their laps. The problem is, the jerk down the road is in better shape, has interesting hobbies, and/or has a real, dependable job. Being “nice” is like having two slices of bread and saying you have a sandwich. If you don’t put anything between the bread slices, everyone’s going to opt to order the burrito instead because it’s got an actual filling.
