stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

Here’s how you play Dungeons & Dragons: you are presented with a situation. You have three options.

Riddle me this, dungeoneers: which one of these is “can I roll an Arcana* check?”

*could be any check, really

hrm a riddle... dungeonmaster can I roll History or something to solve it?

One moment your head is on your shoulders, as it should be. The next, a fountain of blood as you come to grips with your new decapitated lifestyle.

It's 3.

The correct answer is “none of the above.” Saying you want to roll a check is not stating an action, and asking if you can isn’t asking about the situation. They’re also not doing nothing because that usually means you let someone else handle things.

If my answer is “what do you mean?” then you haven’t actually asked me a question about the situation yet, you’re just making me jump through extra hoops to get something concrete out of you.

Your original example was: "can I roll an Arcana* check?" That is a clarifying question about how the rules apply to the described situation. Players ask those kinds of questions sometimes when they want to engage mechanics or maybe even roll dice because it's fun to do.

"How the rules apply to the described situation" means nothing. Let's say I use an example situation from an earlier post.

There's a glowing rune floating in the middle of the room.

"Can I roll an Arcana check?" means nothing to me at this point. Do you want to study the rune somehow? Then say you're doing that. Do you want to know something more specific like what colour the rune is? Then ask that question.

"To engage mechanics?" There are no mechanics inherent to an Arcana check so asking for one doesn't actually do that. "To roll dice because it's fun to do?" Go play Yahtzee.

Mmm, you're not really engaging with what I'm saying in good faith. That's ok. I will state for the audience that discouraging players from communicating with the GM (however poorly they go about it) about how mechanics work and interact with the fiction doesn't actually lead to a better game for them, just a potentially more confusing and unpredictable one. That's my actual point, which you are completely missing in favor of painting my words with the dumbest brush possible. For the record, I would certainly rather play yahtzee than be a player in one of your games based on this conversation. I think we've reached the end of productive dialog here. I'm turning my notifications off. Nice talking to you and have fun playing rpgs!

You wrote about murder?? Murder is illegal?? You wrote about this dude killing someone and you didn’t even say ‘murder is bad’ at the start of the book, wht wtf, wtf is wrong with you? I can’t believe you condone murder, I can’t believe you’re pro murber, oh my fucking God don'ttalk to me when ou literally kill people, freak. I’m calling the cops, what the fuck, I’m shaking and crying.

Has a worm ever gotten struck by lightning

I’m so shook amazing :0

Man, talk about fuck that one guy in particular.

I've noticed that some people making car content on the internet have stopped saying "tranny" as short for transmission, and using "trans" instead. Not sure if that's because of self-censorship to avoid demonetization on youtube, or if its because they actually don't want to say a slur anymore, but all I do know is it can end with some pretty funny results:

Something I need to be reminded of often. Yes, I'm very lazy and also have executive problems up the wazoo (the difference? laziness is fun), but the cultural expectation of being productive every waking moment isn't healthy either. And the business of feeding ourselves is especially fraught these days.

hhhrk. gggrrrg. *changes several core aspects of your personality when you’re not looking*

normally this would infuriate me but I feel uncharacteristically calm and forgivibg
