Who Is Ellen - 18 - HD

Commentary
Rich didn't just enter life with his attitudes.
Maybe some people do, but THAT only happens if they were reincarnated, AND someone messed up the whole "fresh memories" deal, which is not something that typically happens by anymore.
Not since "the incident".
GRANTED, there are exceptional cases in which there's some divine being rewarding, or making amends to, someone for various things from their previous life, and... What?
Oh. Right. Secrets of universe and all that.
Forget I said anything.

With friends like those . . .

I would have responded, as the princess, as if those comments were directed with the same tone and intent AT the princess. With ALL that implies.

That can auto-shorten the sleeves for extra cooling.
Mark
He might have thought that those *were* his friends.

Different skillsets, improv vs. stacked mechanical interpretation. But I think we're leading up to that lesson.
M.
I was thinking the same thing. He's expecting Ellen to have dealt with the same things he did, when she remembers playing with friends who were (I think it's safe to say) easier to game with.
Jere
he isn't wrong
Doriima
I'm quite sure that's why "Rocks fall, everybody dies" is a thing...
David Fenger
Remember that there's always the option of having a dragon strafe the group...
Thisguy
Yeah. But never in a game.
A Red Mage Named Blue
Rich's problem is that he assumes everyone else's experience is the same as his own. He hasn't had that emotional maturity moment that we saw Larry have
Daryl Sawyer
They have. He's standing right in front of her. :p

lol, grappling was stupid broken in 3e (or at least 3.5). It was basically a "win button" against any single target (unless maybe it had way too many limbs or something). Though I suppose it makes sense to make grappling broken... but then give any warrior worth his salt some ability in it, since historically speaking, grappling was an important part of just about any martial art, whether Eastern or Western.

One of those heat activated color changing shirts.
Stephen Gilberg
I picture that as all one session, and his stress is brightening his shirt.
Thisguy
And thankfully grappling is a lot more simple in 5e.
Thisguy
Yeah, I can see Rich’s POV. But I can see Ellen’s too. Playing with Ted and Sarah would have been chill. Ellen/Elliot have never met a “thatguy”.
AstroChaos
Yikes! Makes me want to go give all my players Inspiration for our next session just in appreciation for NOT being anything like the dillweeds that broke him that way...
