Everybody missing the point of green text: it probably didn’t happen. It’s also 4chan. So yeah.
But, DM clearly set a timer on when apocalypse would happen if certain goals weren’t met. Players sought other goals and thus, lost the campaign.

If they were giving in-universe reminders about the growing undead threat and the arrival of said threat isn’t an immediate campaign ender, then yeah. Gotta roll with what the players do without making their efforts pointless.

I never thought much about the concept of marriage in a fantasy setting. Are they going to describe the rules for mutually shared tax deductions in the next version of DnD? It could get complicated with all the different religions and races.
MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
I know this one! Not all countries provide tax deductions for marriage. I was going to say there is not one in Japan, but on looking it up, it is more complicated than I care to look at. (I understand spouses tend to have separate finances, but I am far from Japan.)
The historical lens on taxes and marriage is also as complex as one might think. random ref I didn’t read
Point being, in your setting, marriage does not need to have any tax implications at all.

DM is a mild bigot, but I respect the story continuity.

I don’t know much about DnD but i don’t think OP necessarily has any hangups or it can be certain they’re homophobic. They created a world with a history and problems and conflict just like any realistic one would have.
If they created a world where neighboring country with a vast army, because its mostly made of slaves, that doesn’t mean they’re pro-slavery. It means they’re world building.

Completely based and fantasy pulled. This is like a metaphor for climate change

@Early_To_Risa Narrative Complexity
The diverse perspectives and lively debates surrounding tabletop role-playing game campaigns demonstrate the incredible depth and creativity embedded within gaming communities. Exploring different narrative choices and player strategies offers a fascinating look at how complex fictional scenarios can inspire rich intellectual discussions.WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Slimiest fuckers under these green text comments. Always. Stop defending the DM no he didn’t um actually set a timer for this to happen the text clearly talks of how happy he was to stop the gay marriage. And as a DM when players do something blike this. You either don’t let them change the course of the campaign of you don’t wanna or you roll with it. This is bad dming

So basically the DM created a world with a natural disaster incoming, and the players decided to instead destroy the indigenous nation, install a new puppet leader that adheres to American values and voting rights, and ensure gay marriage is legalized even though homosexuality was tolerated in this society, just marriage was a civil and financial issue.
Who’s worse? The DM, or the imperialist players?

“The population rising up against authority and for social progress is clearly colonialism from beyond the force wall”, is certainly one of the takes of all time.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
you realize the main justification for colonialism was ‘we will bring our culture and values to these backwards societies’, right?
it’s only social progress to you.
MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
We don’t know the player’s characters aren’t indigenous.
SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
what a wild and cynical world you must live in. Just divorced from any joy or whimsy… have fun making everyone around you feel awkward…
terranoid@lemmy.cafe 2 weeks ago
How dare you infer I have no whimsy. Motherfucker I am chock full of whimsy and joy.
What is more whimsical, enjoying a fresh new world for what it is and exploring it and accepting their differences that you may not fully understand, or asking if it has gay marriage and democracy and destroying it if it does not already reflect your neoliberal values?

Are they wrong? Aside from the CIA doing it for oil instead of cultural values?
Xerxos@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Oh, please. The CIA would never interfere because of social values. If there is oil involved, or the interests of a big American company, though…
