Will someone tell me when the beheading starts in London ?

On the "is it ok to give players auto-successes on persuasion rolls for good acting" discourse, everyone is missing one crucial point, which is that skill checks are lame and boring. If a player says, "I want to search behind the tapestry" and there's a secret door behind the tapestry, am I going to make them roll perception to find it? If players are presented with a puzzle and one of them works out the answer, should I make them roll an investigation to determine if their character would discover it? If players have a good argument and they're being reasonable with their request, especially if they're going with it in character to a persuadable NPC, sometimes it's better not to roll that check and just go with your gut

In the UK, members of protected minority groups can carry a literal sword, while ordinary British citizens can go to prison for carrying a Swiss Army knife. I understand there shouldn't be an 'Us and Them' in our society, but politicians have turned it into 'Us vs Them'.

An introverts dream life: - a loving partner who understands their need for alone time - living in a cozy cabin by nature - having a personal library filled with books - working from home - minimal social obligations

Why spelling is important…

The disgusted British public have now descended on the Digwa family home demanding they're removed. As Henry's family are left to suffer, these lot, who all clearly perverted the course of justice, still walk the city centre today! This is the outcome when everything fails!

A customer at the library asked me a question I wasn't prepared for. Customer: Excuse me. Customer: Why does this machine require flesh? Me: ...what? Customer: This machine. Customer: I am touching it, but it does not work. Customer: Is because... flesh? At this point I was trying very hard to figure out whether I had accidentally wandered into a horror movie. Then she held up her hands. She was wearing gloves. Me: Oh! Me: The touchscreen. Me: Right. Me: Yeah, it probably can't detect your fingers through the gloves. Customer: Ah. Customer: Okay. Customer: Sorry to bother. Me: No, no. Me: That's the best thing I've heard all week. She laughed. The machine worked. And I thought that was the end of it. It was not. Now whenever one of our library computers stops working, someone inevitably says: Staff: It requires flesh. Staff: The machine must be fed. Another staff member: Who's volunteering? So thanks to one perfectly innocent question, our library now sounds like a cult every time the self-checkout freezes.

This is the best love advice that I’ve ever seen on this app.
