Imagine a horror game where seven out of every ten characters ICly are this person
Now I want to group app a bunch of failed comedians moving together to a creepy small town to try and rebuild after getting booed out of The Comedy Store.
@Yam Imagine a horror game where seven out of every ten characters ICly are this person and they all do it at each other all the time and you have my peeve.

Peeve, the (bad) public chat comedian. Everything is a fumbled attempt at a joke and a convo killer. We are nothing but a captive audience to them, and they refuse to engage with players in any way that doesn’t center around them.
If you’re gonna’ go up there with a mic at least be funny, aaaaa.

I feel attacked.
@Yam the trouble is that people like this are generally bad at comedy due to a fundamental inability to read the room.

My immediate reaction to people spending XP in the middle of a scene is “Noo! Wrong!” but after taking a moment to contemplate how this relates to that all-important question “So fucking what?” I don’t see it as being a real problem.
As I said, it’s a fringe issue, and only for some people (like myself), and most people who have this as a peeve it’s a low priority peeve at best, not something that would cause me to avoid a game. That said, if I ran a game, it would have an XP room and leaving mid scene to go use the XP room and come back would be forbidden. And I would suspect that having that policy wouldn’t be a game killer.
not that you indicated this wasn’t the case necessarily but this is why I vastly prefer systems that have some sort of meta currency that allows you to stack rolls in your favor/allows you to reroll them, lmao. it’s fun to roll with a failure at a pivotal moment and it can even make a much more interesting story, but dammit, sometimes you just wanna do what you’re supposed to be able to do!
I had a char with maxed out skills because it was their focus in life. It’s all they wanted to do. I spent RL years investing and RPing and justifying and they were just the top of their game. We were in a scene and I was like YES! This is their moment. Everything they’ve worked for. This is finally when they will shine.
Roll.
Critical Failure.
I’m not going to lie I just stared at my screen for a long moment in silence and then started laughing. I’m sure I looked insane IRL. I mean I rolled with it, but damn.
