    I’m not a DM, but couldn’t you say locals rounded up a posse to arrest the murderhobo and then force the player to keep playing, but from a cell?

      DM’ing seems a lot like parenting: the best punishments are natural consequences. Lol

    When WotC releases a “Negotiator” class, maybe we’ll throw dice to not murder everyone we meet instead of the one thing it says is worth basing nearly every class ability around

    until then, swing til the mages are out of healing words

    What’s funny is, there’s an actual Hardy Boys novel where they get talked into a D&D LARP, and it’s not this one. It’s called Dungeon of Doom, I remember loving it as a child and reading it over and over again, and no I will not ever read it again for fear of discovering it actually kinda blows.

      I had no idea Hardy Boys did a D&D book. Wasn’t that a bit taboo? Or maybe not, because I’m sure something dangerous happened.

    I’ve never met anyone named chet that hasn’t been a bad person. Course, I’ve never met anyone that I can confirm their irl name is chet, only their online name. In this one funny little space game that the developer has dropped, there was a chet who would exploit the game to kill newgens in the citadel, stopping them from being able to play the game, and thus not allowing anyone new to play, and the older players were slowly leaving, so he basically killed the game entirely.
