HOVER-TEXT: No seriously. I can hear you.
Nope, nope, chess rules, if he’s still touching it it hasn’t moved yet. :-p
I second this. We use chess rules with my games.
Yeah, but as soon as you touch it, you have to move it. (With the exceptions of “Shaddup†or the impossibility of legal moves, obviously.)
OMG BRET IS SANTA RED WHEN HE GETS MAD
YAAAAY. Also lol.
Oh no, as a GM, the entertainment value of Sam baiting Brett in that manner would trump any silly little mini-touching rules.
He’s messing with him on purpose, isn’t he?
Nice to see Sam having fun & not being depressed.
Whaddaya know, there ARE ways to get Brett to shut up and let someone roleplay.
Damnit stop tryng to piss off santa
As far as I am concerned, they are still in character . They are playing brothers after all.
I say let the yelling set off a trap that drops a 10 pound bag of brown on Brett’s character…
I rarely play with minis, but I don’t have that rule. We’re a very tight-knit group, and we can trust each other not to abuse privileges.
Other GMs are either jealous or disbelieving, I’m sure.
As a “newly” appointed GM in a group of players where we have played together for many years, I don’t play a lot with Mini’s.
I am still a bit of a Care-Bear GM, but I think that I won’t stop my players if they do something stupid and even though it is a tight-knit group of people, they sometimes have major brainfarts… And then the hammer need to fall >_>
My players fear me 😛 I’m not a care-bear, but as close as we all are, they know that I have no compunctions about killing their characters if push comes to shove.
I’ve only ever allowed a resurrection once, and that was after the single most loved and respected player I’ve ever met, someone who was literally mom to half the group, and effectively mom to two more (me included), lost a character due to someone else’s bad decision.
The lesson? Sure, you can get a revival. If you’re Mom. And it wasn’t your fault in the first place. All others can take a hike.
If Sam keeps this up, Brett will explode and Sam would have killed Santa! 😀
Still, the rest of the group cannot be upset or even know about these events, since they are at the other side of the room. This will be an interesting dilemma where players know what is going on, but their characters don’t! This is when you can separate the good roleplayers from the bad ones, since good roleplayers will walk into a trap even if the players know it’s a trap. Bad ones will run away…
The trouble with the gamer who prefers optimal play trying to call out the one who prefers roleplaying on failing their roleplaying is that it can ALWAYS be countered with the threat of fitting the role better by playing worse.
This happened a lot with a mediocre but dedicated roleplayer in my group until we got a mega-munchkin who called that bluff. Only it wasn’t a bluff, and the guy really did the devastatingly stupid thing. Then the mega-munchkin had to bail everybody out of the resultant encounter. Afterwards, everybody was a lot more tolerant of the munchkinry and less tolerant of the roleplayer. To this day, part of me suspects it was planned that way.
So it’s like chess, right? You touch the piece, you gotta move it!
I don’t use minis, sooo…
Messed up my email.
“Yeah, c’mon Brett. Walk over here with that neon sign and bass drum.”
I don’t really use minis, sooo….
Considering the DM is Brett’s girlfriend who has proven in the past that she’s not above giving her beau a ration of grief, I’m pretty sure she trying hard not to laugh out loud. 😀
Darn all caught up. I got shot in the head and spent a year in a coma(Nov 2014). Finding and catching up on all the comics I used to read is really something else. Rehab sucks.
Holy shit! I am so happy you are okay now. I will not pry and ask for details on the circumstances but allow me to say that I am hugely fucking honored to be one of the comics you came back to check on and catch up. I mean wow… just wow.
I work security and angry people take vacations too. I looked like a cop at the wrong time and that’s about it.
Damn! I’m going to assume your comment isn’t a bad joke and say welcome back to real life, er, the internet, er, cool webcomics.
whatever, welcome back and seriously glad to hear your doing well!
Thanks happy be here. My tablet is considered part of my rehab. So, yay comics.
I’m sure it’s been said before, but I’m gonna say it anyway, because it’s too appropriate reading this strip.
“Brian, you magnificent bastard, you.” 😀
sums up my party pretty well
Oh man, Brett looks like he’s head is gonna explode XD
Just going to toss out this bit of fridge-logic:
By Brett’s reasoning, the other character’s can’t know that A) they’re here to steal a rug, and B) that said rug isn’t even there.
And personally, at this point I’d have allowed that Sam’s character had come back to the group, regardless of what the map might say.
