another "let's set some arbitrary line down the road to avoid doing anything today"

you already live under a fascist regime you cowards... DO SOMTHING! take action NOW

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You decide to take action. Please roll for initiative.

rolls 1

You slip and fall on banana peel. You ran out of action points.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What a strange mix of RPG tropes. I get what you meant but that's like when you see "hacking" on tv.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I’ll be honest. I never played DND and only know it from memes. I was trying to make a funny. 😔

Edit: the rpg part probably stems from Baldur Gate 3. 🤷‍♂️

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Heh, that would've been my guess. Nothing to be embarrassed about! Your joke worked. It was just weird to see all those concepts put together in a way they wouldn't go in an actual game. (DND doesn't have action points, for starters)

Do you crit-fail your players on initiative roles? Brutal 😮

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you crit-fail your players on ANYTHING? I can't imagine the dm ideas for how one in twenty swings should send your sword flying into the ether.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I crit fail my players on skill checks if they have a negative with modifiers.

"Oh you rolled a -1 on your lockpicking roll? Sorry bucko, you broke your pick off deep in the lock because what you thought was a false set was your tensioner slipping"

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Pathfinder's four degrees of success system is so good here. A crit is any time you beat the DC by 10. A crit fail is any time you get 10 less than the DC. The system itself then tells you on a bunch of different spells/actions/effects what happens on a crit/success/fail/crit fail. It's handy because often this means a regular fail can still mean something good happens for you. In the case of lockpicking:

Critical Success You unlock the lock, or you achieve two successes toward opening a lock that requires more than one success. You leave no trace of your tampering.
Success You open the lock, or you achieve one success toward opening a lock that requires more than one success. You leave behind damage that indicates the lock was picked on close scrutiny.
Critical Failure You break your toolkit and leave behind obvious damage. Fixing a broken toolkit requires using Crafting to Repair it or else swapping in replacement picks (costing 3 sp, or 3 gp for an infiltrator thieves' toolkit).

I’ve never played DND. I’ve only know it through memes. 😔 I tried to put the gist of what I understood.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 29 points 1 month ago (9 children)

And what action would you like to take?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Long lasting general strikes and boycots would be an effective tool. I realize they would be painful, or even impossible, for people to support themselves through in many cases, whuch is why things like mutual aid and strike funds need to be set up first.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone's entertainment and they'll get pissed real fast.

[–] notabot@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're using 'Bread and circuses' to pacify, so remove the circuses and watch the anger boil up.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

They're doing a job of removing the bread already - huge benefit cuts from the most vulnerable among us

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean like when there was a writer's strike and basically nothing happened and basically nothing changed?

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

maybe more like when they took away social media in nepal and they burned that fucker down

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

You do have a point, media helps keep the cattle calm and distracted...

[–] Mora@pawb.social 31 points 1 month ago (3 children)

A couple of days ago someone brought the right tools to the debate😉

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That really changed things didnt it. Except no... It didnt.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

i don’t know, i feel much better, and those in power now hire more security and canceled plans, which is a good indication they are scared. also talk of assassination is getting normalized. the tone has defenatly changed

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

We just need to keep winning debates..

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

One of them dies and the rest of us are dealing with the consequences.
.
Look up 'pyrrhic victory.'

[–] Mora@pawb.social 18 points 1 month ago

So why would you stop at one?

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

edited. Thank you.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Because the rest of you didn’t get up and continue the fight.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh no, don't give the nazi regime pretense for the things they already did and already were planning to do! That would be horrible!

[–] thaklor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Like bringing a sucker punch to a gun fight.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Protests, Marches, call for General Strike, Civil Disobedience, etc etc etc

Trumptard may not care about your opinion but he would have to care if the country stops working...

And yes, I know it's hard... but this is what you get after decades of apathy and "fuck you, got mine"... you don't like it? you are certainly going to hate living the rest of your life under fascism

[–] sixty@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Use the guns for what they were meant for
