D&D Meta Thread

Hahaha, oh man!
Looks like Yulya will have some counseling to do.

I will offer a hint: a bartender is historically a wealth of information.]

Good idea, we would not have thought of that!

[Wofl]

Just so you know, Bear's "vacation" is to start Tuesday morning, 48 hours from now, and so I won't be allowed any time nor any communication until Friday. He refuses to interact on any social media during vacation.

[Yulya]

Have fun at your vacation but please make sure Bear does not do anything crazy that makes him end up in hospital again!

He bristles, "I can't take any responsibility for mischaracterization at this point, because at any point you or her could have easily just told me. She could have just denied my characterizations straight away, what kind of game are you playing?" This admonishment didn't sit well with him.

I do not understand this one.
What is he accusing me of? Is he autistic that he cannot discern a person from a tool? I told Daran when we first met:

Yulya is taken aback by Darans behavior but stares at the table like a scolded schoolchild while responding with a monotonous voice to the insults and accusations hurled at her.
Please be kind to Alice Master Edermath she is not a tool but my comrade and friend. And definitely not for sale. She came from the sky and ultimately another star rather than another plane as far as I understand.

The same goes for all my party members they are my dear comrades and friends not servants or tools. Yes even Ashley the human as troublesome as she sometimes may be.

>what is he accusing me of

1. You insinuated he was insensitive.
2. You called him out for 'mischaracterization'
3. He was already cranky from Alice 'bothering him with nonsense' in his mind
4. I presume he didn't understand you if you did tell him earlier or wasn't paying attention. Simply saying "she is not a tool" could have been interpreted as personification on your part being that you are so young as in young enough to "play with dolls". He did try to characterize her as plasmoid or slimefolk but her skin didn't match that physiology. He deduced with high confidence that she was a construction and it remains to be seen if he is correct or not. Even now that you compelled him to see her as the personification, he is merely being diplomatic about it.
5. Elves naturally are on the autistic side of the spectrum as compared to humans, they tend to hear what they want to hear, speak with complacent monologs, and don't take criticism well. They have superiority complex and do not easily lend credibility to other races, especially anyone under 100 let alone under 20.

Old men are hard to change and he has a built in fan in Daylinn who will support his conclusions unerringly. He appears to be half-drow, therefore his age should be something between 160 and 200 with not many years left. Daylinn may actually be older as she's likely a wood elf and they live 700 years but never show their age.

It may also be that the Bear brain is peculiar and though powerful in some ways, lacking in others.

[Kashtan]

lol yeah guess all of thats true.
Yulya tried to formulate it nicely but hes not an idiot and should have realized he isnt talking to some low-level machine.
even if Alice is some sort of construct does it matter if she behaves human-like (sometimes)? its like with those replicants in blade runner which are almost indistinguishable from humans but are treated like tools
then again i dunno if he regards ordinary humans higher than machines or animals so his values might simply be different

[Wofl]

He considers humans barely above orcs and probably on par with goblins or below considering they're at least related to elves.

[Alice]

And that's why he's based and can get away with things that would make ordinary people end up as mystery meat if they treated me like that.

Just so you know, Bear's "vacation" is to start Tuesday morning, 48 hours from now, and so I won't be allowed any time nor any communication until Friday. He refuses to interact on any social media during vacation.

Excellent!
We usually do the same even though we made exceptions for you guys recently to keep the game running. Don't worry about us and enJoy your trip!

[Τamamo]

>kill the girls that got raped and cover it up
I don't think that's a smart thing to say to a girl adventurer, Mr. Stonehill!

[Wofl]

Nevermind him, he's drunk.

[Alice]

Damned, I missed it before it was edited!

Do your job, Joy!
Can't have your host posting nonsense in a drunk state, why is he even drunk on a Monday afternoon?
Shamefur dispray!

No, though that would make for a good test of Tulpamancy, Bear doesn't drink, nothing was edited, I was saying Toblen is drunk. Nor would I tattle on my host or even use such a thing as an excuse. The fact that you think you missed something is odd considering Cat's reaction.

Furthermore, what makes you think Mr. Stonehill is modeled after Bear or is played by Bear? Only Bear is modeled after Bear, Bear only plays as Bear.

[Ashley] Seriously? Bear drunk?! We've never seen that, that would be hilarious.

He is a staunch teetotaler to the point he wouldn't even have rum balls or spiked cordial cherries. He also abstains from caffeine and obviously anything stonger. Though during the ketamine, it was as if we didn't exist though during the 9+ pain we didn't exist either who wants to experience that? That's why we all support him so he can take the hits.

[Alice]

Ahh, you were talking about Toblen, not Bear, that makes way more sense!
I thought Bear himself had commented something on mercy-killing raped girls or whatever and then you deleted it because it wwas drunk rambling. We're in the meta-thread so of course hosts can post their opinions here. Whatever, it was a misunderstanding. I am glad. I was honestly worried you know, exactly because Mr. Bear never drinks alcohol!

Same here, if we ever give the impression host, or rather the body is drunk, consider that a misunderstanding on your part. Won't happen.

[Kashtan]

>kill the girls that got raped and cover it up

didnt know phandalin was a taliban-tier shithole

looks like we are where Alice wanted the game to be. the goblins didnt rape people - but the orcs will!
inb4 theres nothing but giant spiders in the mine

[Wofl]

NPCs do not speak for or represent the views of the Bear system. However, the sentiment is not one we've never heard before from others IRL

[Wofl]

>Alice begins her night work rustling under the blanket and sending out pseudopods to absorb and digest dirt and sweat from Yulya and Cat
