    This is just… too accurate. He’s exactly the kind of guy that would literally buy them to just do that.

    But he wouldn’t just do that once because the idea is funny (like I would), but really insist on it and use it every round, every game, even when everyone is annoyed, and say that this is fair play because the rules say so

      Legit. My dm in middle school let me make a character with a custom species, and it was more than a little unbalanced (because I was in middle school and thought victory was the only thing you played for). After two sessions we gave the character an ignominious death and I brought in something out of an official sourcebook.

      Half of the fun in TTRPGs is fucking up and having to figure out a way around it. Take all of the risk out of the die roll and you might as well not roll at all. Use a different system.

      I can also completely believe that scenario.

      Imagine if you got to the point where someone was making jokes like this about you and everyone was laughing with them

      Elon is genuinely such a cringey loser it’s kind of remarkable

      Hey man, making up rules to put the elite at a massive advantage over a completely unsuspecting people is a tradition as old as European colonization. Can’t stop now.
