@Superbia That’s a “Y’all are going on The List,” kinda situation. :v

then even if I DON’T have a rule explicitly against it, it should largely be fine to say: ‘no, bad player, no biscuit’.
While naturally you can do basically whatever you like on your game, perhaps the first instance should be a “oh I should make this a policy from now on” moment instead of an instant boot.
Sure. Where did I imply it should come with a boot, instant or otherwise?

I’m very sure this has been posted here before, but it has come up again in my RP life and it continues to frustrate me.
If someone is setting a scene for you, YOU then need to engage THEM. Don’t pose yourself doing your own thing and make them basically set twice. DEFINITELY don’t pose AVOIDING them and make them chase you.
It’s obnoxious.
I always ask people ‘do you want to set or you want me to set?’
So when they tell me to set, and I do, then they do their OWN set…

@catzilla
They need to know your set first so they can decide the best way to ignore it. Duh.But yes. Enraging.

If I’m setting, it’s in media res, and it will be some blend of silly/horny.

I totally gave Norwood a point at least once (probably more) mid scene because I desperately wanted to try to be better at something. I regret nothing because I never did succeed at a roll I spent XP on. Even if I can’t remember what the skill was now the high in the moment stays.
(Me thinking hard says might have been ride when Norwood was trying to save Cristoph Then he epicly fell of his horse and it was amazing. Regardless I crunched that skill till I got it to 6 because fuck if Norwood was EVER going to let himself fail that badly again.)

@Tez I read this post 28 days later.
There has to be something zombie-related here.

@Pavel Wouldn’t it be more Schrodinger’s Skill Check, so you can have the success/fail paradox? (The crit chance is the quantum part.)
-
@dvoraen Perhaps. But Stat sounds similar to Cat.

@dvoraen I think it’s more of a “Git Good Waveform.” The exact skill the XP is ultimately going to go toward is spread across multiple possibilities until the player observes a particular skill needing to suddenly be increased during a dire moment, which causes the waveform to collapse into the needed skill. We know that this unintuitive bit of mathematics maps to physical reality with the double checking GM experiment. A GM calls for a roll from a munchkin player who rolls and announces that they passed the check. When the GM first glances at the munchkin’s character sheet, they see barely visible pencil markings for all of the skills. When asked for a closer look, the munchkin player hesitates, engages in some sleight of hand, and suddenly the necessary skill is in pen and at just the right level to pass the skill check.
