There used to be a time where my group had a rule about rolling nat-1s on charisma checks. If you did, you immediately tried to have sex with whatever you were trying to persuade, deceive, etc.

It pretty much started out like this every time.

[–]miter01 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What if you were trying to have sex?

[–]theamazingjex 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I find this comic very unrealistic. Two 1s and then a 20? That is statistically unlikely. Totally breaks the immersion for something statistically unlikely to happen.

[–]MaxDG1013 30 ポイント31 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm incredibly late here (browsing top of all time and all), but statistically unlikely doesn't mean it didn't happen. That doesn't have to break the immersion. If you play long enough, it becomes likely for it to have happened at least once during an important point in the campaign. This comic probably just happens to be that one point.

[–]Thisisnowmyname 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Depending on where you live it certainly can be. For example my town is something like 96 - 98℅ white.

[–]BreadCrumbles 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My school is something like 80% white and in a rural area, but my current party (6 people) is more than half female (about 80% if you exclude the DM) and consists of a mixed-race Asian person, at least 3 LGBT people, and half of the players are Jewish.

It's actually not too improbable.

Or high school activities.

Although I'm thinking about it and I can honestly say I've never seen an Asian guy, a white guy, a girl in a hijab, and a black girl all in the same group. DC certainly has enough of each group to do it though. Different cultural influences and social circles I guess.

Also apparently latinos don't play DnD in this comics universe... unless the white guy actually is latino.

[–]KingOfThePimps 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (0子コメント)

At my high school we had a girl who used to wear a hijab, two black girls, one asian girl, and one white girl. My graduating class was almost 40 people.

That being said, I'm pretty sure none of those girls would want anything to do with DnD. They liked shopping though.

[–]Pheebalicious 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Last time I went to the pub with friends (in London), we consisted of two Indians (different 'kinds' - one Sikh, one Anglo), an Italian, a Swiss chick, a lady from Mauritius, and an English girl. We played Cards Against Humanity.

So... yeah.

[–]AdamBombTV 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Who was the most dirty?

[–]Pheebalicious 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's a tough one... The Italian is the most liberal and free with the dirtiness. She's definitely the enabler of the rudeness. The Anglo Indian, also my husband, has the dirtiest sense of humour of all the people I know, but he doesn't often let it out. The Sikh is very reserved, but getting dirtier with our encouragement. The Swiss chick has rather dirty moments, often unexpected and kinda vulgar and inappropriate in a good way. The Mauritian lady knew a lot of dirty words in her own language, which she enjoyed sharing. And me, the English, is the common, run of the mill, chavvy dirty, I think. I think we all bring something to the smut table.

The Sikh won. Her dirtiness was definitely the most surprising.

I get that it can be annoying when it's forcibly shoehorned into things or forced, but it's possibly the least important detail of this entire comic, why not just let it slide? Who even cares?

I came to these comments hoping for funny related stories about accidental romances and critical failures, and all I get is "The background characters are too diverse!"

[–]Zagorath 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (1子コメント)

      I'm Hispanic but that doesn't mean I need a Hispanic character to relate. I'm relating to the character of the person and not to their skin color. The anime that I watch are mostly japanese characters, the netflix series have mostly while male protagonist, my favorite wrestler is a black dude portraying an Aztec descendant. It's pretty BS to say you can't relate to a character because he's white or black.

      It's pretty BS to say you can't relate to a character because he's white or black.

      Agreed, and its honestly pretty damn racist. Boy I sure do love Peter Parker and the struggles he goes through with his family and home life really make me think about my own problems, but I can't identify with him on a basic human level because he's white.

      That just comes across as some racist bullshit right there.

      [–]rg90184 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      People that aren't white guys though get upset, cause there aren't any characters that they can empathize with.

      Then they're shit people who lack human empathy if they can't identify with someone they don't look like.

      [–]lightningrod14 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

      Well...sorry we ruined your day?

      Beyond the fact that this is a perfectly reasonable complaint to have (unnecessary diversity ruins immersion and can be seen as propaganda or self-congratulatory, because it often is) if you honestly are so worried about the internet's response to something you post then maybe you should stay away from places where people might disagree with you (which is also a bad idea.) Most of the critics in this thread are being civil, and if we're hurting your feelings, that's...kind of your problem, not ours.

      And to be clear: the comic is less funny because of the forced diversity. We're caring about the funny comic more than anything else, because that's all that should matter. However, that's clearly not all that matters for the artist, which is kind of insulting and definitely detracts from the comic itself.

      [–]Gravitationalrainbow[S] 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (3子コメント)

      It doesn't matter that people disagree. What makes me sad is that people are so blinded by race and tumblr-hate that something as minor as what shade the characters are, can completely derail the discussion of what was meant to be a light-hearted diversion. No matter how you try to hide it, your bitching and moaning communicates that non-cis gender white people have no place in this hobby. You're all so sensitive that you can't handle people who are different than you participating in the same form of escapism as you. Frankly, it's disgusting.

      I thought people were better than that. Your failure as a human being is what makes me sad.

      [–]Rickymex 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (1子コメント)

      non-cis gender white people

      I'm on your side in that the race of the character don't matter but when you start using this terms it makes it way harder. You end up coming out as an asshole which is pretty bad considering you're arguing against people who would be on the "racist" side.

      [–]Gravitationalrainbow[S] 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      There is one (1) of each ethnicity people give a shit about, no more, no less. A perfect balance of male and female. And they're all good looking mid-twenties.

      Cool. Downvotes for disagreeing to force your player's character into a sexual situation. What the hell is wrong with you guys? If my player told me she wanted to play a lesbian I would not force her to marry a guy on a crit fail.

      [–]decamonos 36 ポイント37 ポイント  (3子コメント)

      A series of fails where they compliment each other, and lightly caress each other.

      Then the player very clearly states his intent to seduce the Orc. Which he does.

      The player made his bed, and is laying in it.

      [–]The_Evil_Upvote 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

      When she makes the orc attack and she crit fails, it would have just been a failed attack. As a dm I believe the player has control over THEIR character. It is wrong to force your feelings/stance on any subject matter into a player's characters...maybe unless it was a wish spell and you are prepared for the argument at the table.

      [–]thedisapprovingbear 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      and the DM decided that the orc's failed attack turned out to be a gesture that could be mistaken for romance - probably following the rule of funny. The player is also the one that decided to do a seduction roll.

      anyways... I was originally going to say

      The player made his bed, and is laying in it.

      Emphasis on 'laying'

      [–][deleted] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I'm visiting from the future to say that I would much rather play in a group where the M.O. was to just roll with unexpected and hilarious situations (even if they require some exotic rule interpretations and are good naturedly making someone the butt of the joke. Or even maliciously if the situation is hilarious enough.)

      A group in which the DM or players read way too much into every little detail while trying to put the brakes on atypical, fun occurances for the sake of their personal opinions on gameplay typically aren't ones that stay together very long.

      You know your meta and what the group enjoys. Other people know their meta and how willing everyone is to go completely off the rails for the sake of a memorable session.

      TL;DR you just do you, bruv.
